RENT-FREE LANDS BEING
LISTED BY STATE BOARD
The state board of immigration is
now working out a plan which will
rezult in the cultivation next year of |
100,000 acres or more of new land in
Colorado. i,
Under this plan, the owners of the
Innd are turning it over to the bhoard |
for two vears or longor to have it cul-|
tivated free of rent by such pormnsl
as the board can find who are willing
and capahle. I
The board is anixous to list all the |
land in the state that may be utilized
under this plan, together with the
names of the experienced farmers who :
would like to be put in touch with
such land that they could farm, rent|
free. Most of this lund is on the !
plains. |

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
MAY ASSUME CONTROL
OF PACKING PLANTS
' PHILADELPHIA, Jan. s.—That
the federal government intends short
ly to take over the meat industry of
the United States—one of the prin
cipal necessities of war time—ap
pears more and more evident as the
federal trade commission’s probe of
the “meat trust” continues.
This> view obtained tonight strong-
W at the conclusion of a three days’
investigation into the local meat sit
uation here.
Before leaving for Washington en
route for St. Paul, where the investi
gution 1= to be resumed next Wednes
day, Francis J. Heney, special prose
cutor for Yhe commission, ~aid “Any
one could see the turn the investiga
tion ha- taken.”
Euidence taken here during three
day»' consecutive grilling of wit
nesses tended to substantiate the evi
denee takon elsewhere—that a big co
terie of Chicago meat packers share
virtua!ly a monopoly of the meat busi
ne-ss of the cbuntry; that the indepen
dent packers have been “squeezed” un
til they are on the verge of going out
| of business; that prices are regulated
|at the dictation of the “trust moguls”
and that the-e packers are holding
I vast stores of hides while leather and
l shoe prices are soaring.

WILL HELP “DRY-LANDERS"
The il to permit “dry-land”™ farm
ers to leave their homesteads for the
purpo~e of doing agricultural work
will probably pass the =enate early in
January. It is argued that this meas
ure will relieve the labor situation in
the irnigated sections and at the same
time give the homesteader on oppor
tunity to earn a “stake.”
‘ —Emm
Fxchange:—There is a point made
‘relative to the minimum loading of
cars that should be remembered. The
laws says that cars must be loaded to
capacity ‘“consistent with safety.”
Henee a car of apples or potatoes must
be loaded with this end in view, and if
a certain number of pounds will result
in a loss, that number must be lower
ed. No car of fresh fruits or vege
tables should be loaded up to the roof
just because the railroad officials say
sO, hut good judgment will require a
Jlighter load.

\
The little matter of the income tax
~will apply to most ranchmen this
year, and must be attended to prompt
ly. Failure to report the income be
fore March Ist, 1918 will cost dearly,
for the penalty is from 20 to 21,000
fine and in addition, fifty per cent of
the tax due. If a person fails to give
truthful answers to the questions on
the blank, the fine may run up to
!S'.!.OU(J or one year's imprisonment, or
both, in the discretion of the court. If
‘a fellow dodges the tax this year and
next, or Yor years to come, look out
| for the day of reckoning when some
!hod,\' find it out and the government
{ collects all back taxes with the penal
[ties of five per cent of the amount of
| tax due nmi one per cent interest for
|cach full month during which taxes
’ remains unpaid. i

DR. C. G. LAMB, STATE :
« VETERINARIAN, WRITES .
ON CALF AILMENTS |
Dr. C. G. Lamb, State Veterinarian
of Colorado, writes to a Montrose
stockman as follows: |
“December 26, 1917, '
“Mr. H. W. McElroy, ]
“Leonard, Colorado. |
“Dear sir:- |
“I am in receipt of a letter from Mr. |
T. W. Monell, describing a condition |
among your calves, and I am positive |
this trouble is necrotic stomatitis, |
which is a disease which causes con-|
siderable loss in various portions of ||
the state among calves and young pigs !
is caused by the necrotic germ gain-‘j
ing entrance through a slight abra-!.
sion of the skin or mucus membrane!
of the mouth, stomach or bowels.|
Wken this germ enters thru this abra- |
sion it immediately begins to burrow |,
and kills all the, tissue with which it|
comes in contact with, and this dead |
tissue is thrown out behind the bur-|.
rowing germ and also acts as a pro-|:
tection to the germ. This tissue takes |
the form of a whiteish deposit, some- |,
what resembling cottage cheese. In
very many cases the first indication of |-
the disease is what appears to a wad|.
of hay in the cheek, but when examin- |,
ed one finds that this bunch is sore|:
with this thick, cheesey-like appéar-|.
ance. . )
" “The tongue is frequently affected,
and mllit:ssalattentfion is gliven eiet' t}&e ‘
tongue most frequently eaten off.|,
This disease is very fatal where the|.
sores are located where they cannot be |,
seen or treated. If these sores are in|
the throat, stomach or bowels, no|
treatment does any good, but where!:
the sores are located in the mouth,|.
where they can be treated, treatment|
is usually very effective and consists|
(!_.ui‘ping the sore, to thoroly|
remove all dead or diseased tissue and
then applying preferably with a swab,
‘pure carbolic acid or pure tincture of
iod l!0£tmat:m-utmiln‘stmllysn!- 1
ficient if the scraping thoroly removes|
‘all dead pmfionr:.pfor, as I {nve tried
to explain, these diseased tissues act
as a shield to protect the germ.
1 “I hope you will give this treat
ment & thorough trial and let rfie know |/
_result. g 1
““#The germ that causes this trouble
exists everywhere and the disinfecting|
fected animals be kept away from the|

HALF A MILLION IN {
| HAY SAVED BY OPEN WINTEP
Experienced Ranchman Has It Fig
uered Out As Above for Sixty Days
- Past.
. Qur fine winter weather of Novem
‘ber and December was worth $7,500
dollars a day to Gunnison county in
its stock feed bill alone, declares San
. ford Zeigler, who has it doped out in
' this fashion.
| Figuring a ton a day to a hundred
| head, and that is the annual full feed
| of our ranchmen, the forty thousand
| head in the valleys will consume 400
|tons a day; and in fact a year ago,
they did eat that much good bay in
December and most of November, for
feeding began long before Thanks
giving.
Now this year, almost no feeding
was done till this week, or in other
words the ranchmen saved 400 tons
a day, which at $15 is $6,000. Add to
this the feed saved on horses and oth
er stuff and you have $7,500 a day or
nearly half a million.dollars worth. .
That is some figuring, but News-
Champion figures that li old Boreas
doesn’t get busy and deposit a deep
white mantle two to twenty feet deep
over these hills pretty soon, there is
going to be shortage of water next
summer that will cost us more than
half a million. Nature has a way of
playing even. We will hope she gives
us the best of the bargain this long
winter thru, just to help us lick the
Hun.
