SOME DAIRY
POINTERS.
Flaxseed meal should
be used to replace
Butter-fat.
Most of the Machinery for the
North Park Creamery
Unloaded here.
The following article, concerning the
feeding ef skim milk or separated milk
to calves, was handed this paper by Mr.
Sterzbach, in charge of the North Pask
Creamery. The article is from tho pen
of W. J. Kennedy, of the lowa Agrijul
tural College, and has the hearty endow
ment of Mr. Sterzbach, who claims that
too frequently dairy and ranchmen are
ulider the impression that the milk from
which the cream has been separated
contains sufficient nourishment for cal
ves. This is a mistake as there must be
a substitute for the butter fat extracted
Following is the urticle:
“It is not necessary to allow calves to
suckle their dams, or even feed them
on whole milk after they are weeks
old. Excellent calves can be reared on
skim milk when the proper adjunct*
are supplied. Skim milk is simply
whole milk from which the butterfat
has been removed. This deficiency may
be supplied thru the use of pure flux
seed or a flaxseed meal. A very satis
factory way to feed the flaxseed or tho
flaxseed meal to young calves is to boil
the flaxseed in about five times the a
mount of water there is flaxseed for
aeane two hoors, or until it has formed
a jelly like substance. Then add a tea
cupful of flax jelly morning and even
ing to the milk fed to each calf of three
weeks of age. As the calf grows older
gradually increase the amount of flax
jelly fed so that a calf of six weeks will
be getting two teacupfuls of tho jolly
at each feed. By the time the calf is
ten or twelve weeks old the boiling of
the flax may be discontinued and the
flaxseed meal added to some ground
oats and corn and fed to the calf in dry
form immediately after the milk. The
advantage of feeding the grain imme
diately after the milk is very manifest
where several calves are put in one pen
or paddock, as it dries up the saliva iu
the mouth and pravents the too com
mon tendency towards suckiug of each
others ears or other portions of thoir
bodies. Good bright hay, grass or some
green food should be placed within
reach of the calf when it is a month
old. It is surprising how soon these
youngsters will learn to eat roughage
and grain.”
The machinery for the creamery ar
rived from Laramie the first of the week
and is being placed in position by Mr.
Sterzbach. The boiler, vats and refrig
erator, which are on the road iu, will
probably be set up next week.
The equipment for the plant is the
best the market affords in every respect
and the creamery will be one of the
most complete in the west.
More Grazing Lands.
United States Commissioner Mallory
has received a map from the depart
ment showing the boundaries of the
Park Range Forest Reserve as it in after
the additions made by recent order.
An additiopal half million acres have
been thrown into the reserve. It will
be remembered that Congress passed a
measure that no more reserves should
be made without its consent. Before it
became a law the president withdrew
several additional millions of acres. On
ly a glance is required at the new bound
aries of the reserve to show that conser
vation of timber had nothing to do with
the additions here.
It was simply to get a larger area on
which grazing fees could bo changed.
There is no timber on the land. One
fifth of Colorado is now in timber reser
ves. Routt county is getting a pretty
hard dose of it.—Steamboat Pilot.
Emirs Fish Story.
Emil Ehn. who was iu the city Friday
to attend the school entertainment, and
incidentally to see if he couldn't buy
some other fellow's girl's basket at the
supper that night, told a fish story to a

representative of this paper.
Emil says he was driving a bunch of
horses across the Platte river when one
of the horses struck a trout with its hoof
stunning the fish.
One of the horses following, again
struck the fish knocking it out onto the
bank. Emil jumped otr and grabbed
the fish taking it home The trout
weighed nearly three pounds.
As Emil is absolutely truthful, on
ocassions, we can vouch for this story.
School Play.
The play, “The Danger Signal” pre
sented Friday night by the high school
pupils of the Walden school, was a most
entertaining one and was exceptionally
well rendered.
The play was a drama, and quite hea
vy for an amateur company, but Prof.
Preston tackled the proposition with
his usual vigor and for the past tlnee
weeks the pupils had a rehearsal every
available night in the week, the result
being a splendidly worked out play.
After the play a sale of the lunch box
es brought by the young ladies, took
place, Philip Hoover acting as auction
eer.
The entertainment wound up with a
dance, gotten up by the youug i»eople
present. The entire affair was a sue
cess,and something over SWO. was netted
This sum will be used to pay off the
indebtedness on the school house seats,
and to purchase books for the school
house library.
MARKET LETTER
Denver Union Stock Yards, April 15 —
Last weeks receipts of cattle were
about the same as preceeding week and
2,000 more than a 3*ear ago. (Quality
rather better than usual and trading
active. Prices are about the same as a
week ago and the the market closed in
tine shape with demand better than sup
ply. Good killing steers sold from $4,40
to #5.10, bulk of good cows at #3.45 to
#3.85 with several bunches at #8.90 to
#4.00. Bulls were firm at $2.90 to #8.25
for bulk, tops at #3.50. Veals higher a
new top being made at #7.25 bulk of
good light weights at $<5.00 and better.
Choice heavy feeders brought #4.85 with
others at $4.75 aud most of desirable
steers at $3. M oto $4.70. There was a
good country demand for feeders aud
stockers aud dealers also bought all they
could get, domaud being much better
thau supply. Offerings today wero a
bout 1,000 bead and not much change
th the market from close of last week.
With the coming of the spriug season
improvements are being rapidl>’ pushed
at the yards and it is the intention of
the Yard company to continue this work
until the entire equipment is thoroughly
modernized. The pavement is being ex
tended to cover the entire area of the
yards and new horse barns and other
other needed buildings are tube erected
during the summer and many other im
provements made. Packers are also pre
paring to make additions this summer
which will increase the capacity of their
plants and when all the improvements
contemplated here are finished the fac
ilities for handling all kinds of live
stock will bo unsurpassed. Present con
ditions are that the marketing here this
fall will lie heavier than ever before in
the history of the yards and it is the in
tention of the management to be ready
to handle it to the satisfaction of all.
Home Made Curfew.
Every family should have a curfew
which should postively “ring tonight”
and every night if needed. These cur
fews are inexpensive and can be home
made. Take a piece of siding two feet
long and whittle one end down to a
handle; then take the child that needs
the curfew aud bend him over a barrel.
Now take the piece of siding iu the
hand and use it for a clapper. Put it
on hot. Divide the strokes evenly and
see that none miss. Good for a boy or a
girl up to the age of sixteen, and three
applications are warranted to cure the
most pronounced case of street loafing
thut exists. The music this curfew
makes is finer than singing “where is
my wandering boy touight?”—Ex.
Postponed Until 23 rd.
The case of tho State vs. J. T.Shippey
and others was called for hearing Satur

WALDEN, COLORADO, THURSDAY, APRIL 18. 1907.
IS NOW IN
CENTENNIAL
Laramie Plains Line
Reaches that Point
Saturday.
Extention of Road into North
Park Will be Next Move of
the L. H. & P.
Tho Laramie, Halm’s Peak & Pacific
railroad is now’ iu Centeunial, after sev
eral years of much hard work on the
part of the promoters, aud while the
work has progressed slowly nothing is
lacking iu the quality. The rails are of
the heaviest steel, tho track wide guage
aud tho road bed a good substantial one.
During the last year the road has re
coived financial aid in good sized chunks,
from tho man nor iu which it has been
pushed, aud as quickly as the road be
tweeu Laramie and Centennial is put iu
good operating shape, the company,
which now has a corps of surveyors iu
the Park, promises to build a branch
line into the Park to tap our iuimence
coal beds.
While the “Laramie Plains Line” as it
known, has been made to bear the brunt
of many jocose remarks, aud termed the
“jackrabbit line,” nevertheless it seems
to be coming to the front quite rapidly,
aud it is a certainty that no jerkwater
branch would have been put m with the
quality of material and care used in the
construction of this line.
Another feature that gives many con
fidence in the future cf the road, is the
fact that E. A. Emmmons, formerly
Passenger and Ticket Agent for the
Union Pacific at Laramie, has resigned
his position with that company and ac
cepted a position with the L. H. &P.
Mr. Emmons is a railroad man of ahilit}*
and integrity and is quite an addition to
thoir office force.
The surveyors, who have been work
ing from Peterson’s on tho Platte to a
point near O. S. Case’s ranch, yesterday
moved camp to the Allard ranch. The
present line will pass through about a
half or three quarters of a mile west of
Walden, going up the west side of the
Illinios, and from Cass‘S ranch takes a
course nearly direct to the Riach coal
mine. There will probabl}’ boa junction
at the Case ranch, as it is undoubtedly
tho intention of the compan}* to connect
with the Rocky Mountain railroad.
The men behind the Laramie, Hahn’s
Peak & Pacific railroad are boosters and
we will be glad to see such men inter
ested in the Park.
Dies in Asylum
Word was received here last week to
the effect that E. A. Anderson, who was
committed to tho insane as3 r lum at Pu
eblo abouttwo weaksago.died Thursda}’
morning April 11th,and the remains tak
en to Denver by his father A. M. And
erson, and interred at that place.
Deceased was 82 years of age tho 23rn
of last February and has resided in tho
Park about live 3’ears, editing the North
Park Union. On Mareh 19th, last, ho
became insane, and (loath probably re
sulted from softening of the brain.
Mr. Anderson was a member of both
the Woodmen of tho World and Wom
en of Woodcraft Lodges of Walden,hav
ing a $3,000 insurance policy in the for
mer. He also carried soveral thousand
dollars in outside companies.
The sudden and distressing end of
the young man’s life is a shock to the
entire Park, and much sympathy is ex
pressed for the father and mother.
The Public Lands.
That there are two sides to tho public
laud question seems to be doubted by
extremists 011 both sides of the controv
ersy. Tho important thing for the
western people just now is to agree up
on a policy that would ho satisfactory
to all the people, and then work to that
end. With the West united’ it will be
a simple thing to secure from Congress
o*r the administration with
in reason. It ma3' be necessary for
hothsides to yeild something to get in
to this position,but the West cannot aff
ord to fight among themselves over this
matter. The convention to be hold iu
Denver in the early summer will do
much to dear the atmosphere. What-
I ever policy is to the best interest of the
I West and to tho states will undoubtedly
be the policy adopted. Those who talk
I of abolishing forest reserves are talking
foolishly. Such a result is impossible,
even if advisable, and the majority are
undoubtedly in favor of the reserves.
There are many things about the pre
sent forest reserve policy, however, that
should be modified or amended, and
I this can he accomplished once tho peo
ple of the West reach an agreement.—

Telephono News.
At the adjourned meeting of the up
per Michigan Telephone Association held
at the Haworth school house Monda} r ,
the organization was perfected and A.
L. Fox, Wm. Winscom and Frank Smith
were appointed trustees and authorized
to go ahead and make all arangements
for putting in a telephone line for that
section.
There will ho about ten subscribers on
this line, which will be a grounded cir
cuit for the present. Work is to he
commenced at once. M. C Ward will
survey the lino and Ervin Beutler has
the contract for digging the post holes.
The poles are to be on the ground by
the 15th of June.
Manager Hoover states the brackets
aud insulators for tho Rand line, are now
on the way in from Laramie. This line
is to boa metallic circuit covering the
Illinois and Rand countn' for a distance
of 23 miles.
Headquarters at Steamboat.
It is reported iu tho Steamboat Pilot
I that Thomas Hogan, Supervisor in char
Ige of tho Park reserve, will move his
headquarters from Krommlingto Steam
; boat Springs sometime during the month
j of Jul3*.
| As Steamboat Springs is more central
ly located in the reserve than Kremm
ling, which is on tho extreme southern
end, this will prodabl3* make it easier
for patrons of the reserve.

Holdrege Married.
Thermopolis, Wyo., April 15.—L. A.
Holdrege of this city and Miss Lillian
Casteel of Shoshoni were married here.
L. A. Holdrege is well known iu this

Secure Water Rights.
The E. H. Decker ranch on the Lara
mie river, near tho Colorado line, has
been purchased b3 r a Colorado company
building a drainage system to divert the
waters of the Big Laramie river before
they reach the Wyoming line.
The question of the right to divert wa
ter in ouo state from lands which have
heretofore had the use of tho water in
another state is pending in the United
States suprouo court, but tho Colorado
concern is taking no chances of an ad
verse decision, instead bu>’ing the land
and becoming the owner of the Wyom
ing water I)3’ prior right.
