The New Method Of Farming.

There is 80 much interest in irrigation,
now that the surveys Of Maj. Powell and
the department reports prove that it is
necessary in a third Of our territory,
that Colorado items are timely. Field
and Farm, Of that state, is enthusiastic
over the increased product of corn and
alfalfa. These two leading products
must necessarily be utilized-reduced to
money-and the farmer can find no bet
ter way than by feeding them to steers.
Those who have not the cattle can buy
them cheaply of those who have, and
hazard but little risk of making it pay.
At the present outlook there will be no
fortunes in feeding, but If the farmer
gets fair price for his hay and grain
product, with trife added for his time
in feeding, he should be content, This
can be done cheaply by good selection
and judicious management.
Let US see for moment: A well bred
twelve hundred pound steer can be
bought these times for two and half
cents per pound, which will be $50. Now
II this steer is put to feeding by the mid
die Of the present month and kept feed
ing until he has consumed ton and a
half or two tons of alfalfa and thirty
bushels Of corn, he will have increased
his weight 200 pounds, when he should
bring in the market at home or abroad
from $45 to $55. This would give the
farmer thirty-five cents bushel for his
corn and $5 ton for his hay. To OBJ
tain this increased weight in the steer
he mdst be sheltered though, and fed
with an abundance-must never be al.
lowed to go hungry or shiver with cold.
A few years ago we were jeered at for
saying that Colorado would yet become q
grand feeding and beef producing state.
Those who. doubted then do not doubt
now. They have become the advocates
OF 1t. 1t is patent that we have the abil-
ity to feed and fatten large numbers of
cattle-can do it as cheaply as any and
at as good profit as any of the western
states. It is being done. In fact our
farmers will soon be forced to feed or
have no market for their leading prod
ucts. They have the best feed in the
world and the best climate in which to
feed. 1t only needs the knowledge how
to feed, when to feed and the determine
tion to do, when success will reward the
undertaking.
