LOOKING OVER
RESEVOIR SITE
S. H. Clammer, of Ft.
Collins, Visits the
North Park.
May Purchase Illinois Rese
voir Site and Reclaim
Arid Land.
Mayor Clummer of Fort Collins accom
panied by J. L. Drown of Indiauola Ind.
H. D. Ingalls of Boulder, J. Y. Muuson
of Berthoud. and J. B. Clark of Ft. Col
lins came in Thursday evening and reg
istered at the Park Hotel. They spent
Friday looking over the site of the 111
iuois reservoir, and Saturday morning
were taken to the Larinie river by U.
Loucks, where they were met by a team
from the Windsor stables of Laramie
and taken to that place on their way
home.
Mr. Clammer, whois one of Ft. Collins
boosters and a prominent business man
has an option on the Illinois reservoir
site and this is his first tr.p to look at the
proposition. While he did not express
his intentions as to the purchaso of the
property, he spoke favorably of the pos
sibilities of the reservoir and may decide
to take hold and put it through.
The projected reservoir will irrigate
many thousands of acres of land iu the
Illinois and Platte river sections and
will be the means of furnishing homes
for a number of families. There is a large
acreage of manless land and what is
ueeded is a few irrigation projects in
order that the landless man may take
hold and make of it a rich farming and
stock raising country. Sheep as well as
cattle will be one of the future sources of
income, and many of t he ranchmen are
now investing iu small herds.
If Mr. Clammer thinks well enough of
the proposed reservoir to take hold and
complete it the result will mean much to
the Park, and every encouragement
should be expended to him and his as
sociates to help us developo the country.
Drowned in Yam pa River.
Tuesday morning about 8 o’clock
Walter Eugeno Cary, general manager
of tlie Yampa Live Stock and Land Co.'s
large ranch near Hayden, and son of J.

were engaged in taking two bulls in a
ferry boat. The boat was made on the
usual style of the old ferries, being at
tached to a steel cable stretched across
the river. The river is high and the strain
caused the cable to break near one side.
The loosened end swung around like
a whip lash knocking Haworth off into
the river, at the same time breaking his
leg. Both Cary and Buell jumped into
the river to help Haworth. Buell man
aged to reach the injured man but Cary
was not seen again, evidently being
swept away by the swift current.
Buell aud Haworth floated dowu the
river and managed to catch hold of a
tree stump that was sticking out of the
water, from which they were rescued
several hours later. The body of Mr.
Cary has uot yet been found.
Sells Two More Stallions.
C. M. Fifield, representing North &
Robinson of Grand Island,Nebraska, who
is at the Windsor Stable* in this city,
has sold two more thoroughbred stal
lions making four in all that he has dis
posed of in less than three weeks.
The first of these last two sales was
that of the three year old gray Percher
ou stallion, named Duke Kiro, No. 43,
585, foaled May 10, 1004, and registered
in the American Breeders and Importers
Percheron Agency, to Victor Hanson,
of Walden, Colorado. This is a superb
auimal, weighing between 1,000 and 1,
700 pounds. I
Mr. Fifield has also sold a horse to Geo.
Hunt, hut the Republican representative
failed to get the particulars with refer
ence to the animal.
Another shipment of horses will be
received in a few day*.—ljirainie Repub
lican.
Will They Do It?
Tho Big Four packers have served not
ice on the comissiou men doing business
at Chicago that beginning next Monday
they will refuse to purchase cows or hei
fers except subject to i>ost mortem in
spection by tho government agents and
if condemned, settlement for such car
cassea will be made upon the packers
valuation of hides and tankage only.
Tho comissiou men adopted a resolution !
declaring the proposed action of the
packers as unlawful, arbitrary, and un
just and pledged themselves to refuse to
sell live stock under the new rule. As a
little joke we proi>oso to see how this
bluff works out and wo will uot have to
look very far to observe the beef trust
packing otr the carcasses of the com mis
sion men. —Field and Farm.
Gone Bear Hunting.
Dr. jUenry Fischer, who is one of nat
ures true sportsmen, left Tuesday for
the ranch of Chas. Winscom where he
will try his hand at trapping or shooting
bear.
The Bruin family have been making
themselves rather numerous in the vicin
ity of Mr. Winscom's ranch, and he has
twice now had the foot of a hear in one
af his traps, hut the animal in some
manner manages to escape.

SOME DAIRY
POINTERS
£
A Few Observations
j
by Parties who have J
had Experience.
f.
Cows and Milk Should be Giv
en Same Amount of Atten
tion Bach Day.
. a
A dairyman who makes a study of
his business has the following to say
1 relative to tho variations of the creanv
test learned by practical exporince.
with separators on the farm.
If milk is put through the separator jut
1 soon as drawn from the cow and while it
is at 85 ar DO degrees, it will show a
er test than if separated after it has co6t|
ed to 70 or 75 degrees. Again if the]
crank is turned the required fifty times
per minute and the milk is 90 degrees
warm, the cream screw’ being set to pro .
duce 35 per cent cream, the results will
be nearly epual each skimming. But if
the temperature is allowed to drop 15
to 20 degrees there will be a difference
of several points in the test of the creams
Again; if the separator is turnrd faster,
the cream will be richer; if turned slow
er tho cream will be thinner.
Suppose a case. The farmer has scope
pressing matter to attend to. He is iqi a
hurry to get his morning w’ork done sihd
out of the way, so he can get off, JjßLe
does up the barn work in a hurry,
the cow’s quickly as hs can and imnuidi; {
> ately runs the milk through the
or; unconciously he gets up more spystL
| than usual: he actally turns the crank
' sixty times instead of the proper fifty
turns per minute, and he gets 40 percent
' cream. Another day he is iu no partic
ular hurry: perhaps a neighbor calls, the
weather is a little cooler, he stands a
1 while talking after milking the cows,
tho milk cools down to 75 degrees. The
separator also, is unusually cool, that
runs the milk down to 70 degrees, and
being in no hurry and busy talking he
doesn’t turn the crank quite ro fast, in
fact, only giving it about 45 turns. That
iu, the milk is 20 degrees cobler and the
1 separator is run 15 times slower than
when he got 40 percent cream; and now
he is all riled up when lie learns that
; his cream showed only 25 percent. He
is sure the cows are just the same, “he
i milked them just the same and operated
1 the separator just the same” so he is
1 sure that the test “is only guess work”
or else he is “being cheated."

IN THE I. O. O. F. 11 ALL, WALDEN.
JUNE 6,1907
The proper way to make comparisons
is iu the butter-fat paid for, uot in the
test. If all the conditions—of cow,feed,
milking, preparation, etc., are similar
l>eriod by period, and if tho home con
sumption of milk does not vary, the
dairyman can reasonably expect to sell
about the same number of pounds of fat
. to oquul periods of time. The test does
not bring tho money. Tho pounds of
fat are being sold aud bought, not tho
I>ercent.
A thorough understanding of this vi
i tal point will help many a dairyman to
solve the ever present problem of test
variation and stop much of the eternal
rag chewing about percentages, for in
my opinion nine-tenths of the criticisms
of tests would cease if this should once
ho thoroughly appreciated by dairymen.

MARKET LETTER
Denver Union Stock Yards, May 27
The steer supply was liberal here last
week and the market suffered some de
pression. Trade dragged considerably all
week and at the closo prices were 10 to
| 20 cents lower than a week ago. Cows
, ure scarce aud sold readily at high prices
( market firm on good, though a little
weak on common stuff. A new top was
made at $4.75 at which price a bunch of
fancy corn fed cows from Western Neb
raska sold Friday. Other cows sold from
$4.40 tos4.4s,and bulk of desirable killers
at $3.75 and better. Choice contract steers
weighed up at $5.40 but hw on tho open
market got above $5, most good ones
selling from this down to $4.70. Bulls
wero active and firm at $3.15 to $3.00 for
bulk. Veals firm, best selling at $7.25,
bulk at $5.50 to $7. Feeder aud Stocker
trade qiuet,supply being light. Demand
for good steers of all kinds strong and
market sturdy but poorer grades weak
because of light demand at eastern mar
kets. Sales ranged largely from $4 to
$•1.85 on pretty good feeders aud stockers.
The market today ruled active and
’ with about 2,000 cattle in the yards.
Norman MacKenzie Dead.
Word was received here this morning
> of the death of Norman MacKenzie, at
the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
1 Wm. MacKenzie, of Owl, about eight
o’clock in the morniug. The cause of
' I death was rheumatism of the heart.
Deceased was the second son of Mr.
1 J and Mrs. MacKenzie and has been aillict
ed with iuflammaitory rheumatism for
several years. Ho was taken sick with
this malady at the Boettcher ranch in
March,and was finally taken to the homo
of his parents, at Owl, where Dr. Snair
was summoned to treat nim.
Tho young man’s heart was in a very
serious condition at this time and his
recovery was doubtful. While the doc
tor gave him every care and attention
possible the desease could not be checked
and this morniug death released him
from his suffering.
| Normun MacKenzie was about 20 years
, of age and was a.young man of integri
ty, always faithful to duty. The bereav
ed parents and family have the sympa
thy of all for the uutimly taking away
of a son and brother.
| The remains will bo brought to Wal-
I den for interment.

“From June until September,
Barbers, preachers and that sort
Of fellers should remember
To cut it kind of short.”
Chas. Murphy made a horseback trip
to Larmie this week.
Mr. Joe Graham came over from Mid
dle Park Saturday to assist A. J. Munroo
in moving his steers.
Wm. Dawson aud sou, Ray moved the
last bunch of their cattle to the summer
range in Middle Park.
Albert Manvillo returned from Krein
mling Sunday, bringing back with him
his brother, Clarence, who has been at
tending school in Boulder.
Mrs. Daly and daughter, Martha,
leave this week for Denver probably
return later iu the season. They have
been at the Coyte ranch the past year.
Mrs. Coyte is coming in to spend the
summer.
Tho long expected has happened.
North Park'd proverbial nine months
winter and three months late iu the fall
has become eleven months winter and
thirty days rain and snow.
Mr. Philip Hoover, lineman, accom
panied by Jake Timbrel, made a trip to
to Middle Park Sunday to clear up some
trouble. There is always a good opening
there for this particular line of business.
Miss Ada Parks has been visiting her
Spicer friends during the past week. On
Monday a certain youth, from parts un
known, spirited her away. It was done
so unexpectedly and so quietly that the
youug men of this neighborhood were
powerless to prevent it. It lias cast a
general gloom overtho entire community.
There is a pretty little romance connect
ed with this, tho conclusion of which
will api>er in tho Collins papers soon. This
is all that we can say now for it is a seo
ret and we propose to keep it even if we
have to have help.
