Agritulture
Profit in Colorado FarpsA

On account of the fertility Of the
zoil the superiority Of the Innate and
the great advantages OF irrigation,
Colorado is peculiarly adapted for the
successful operation of small end
medium-sized farms, if conducted by
men of intelligence, experience and
enterprise, and there is perhaps no
greater opportunity for this s,2ss Of
farming in any state of the Ua:on than
at present exists in Colorado 0ve7
FIVE million of dollars is annually sen;
from Colorado to other states for the
purchase of small farm products which
this state could and should produce.
The soil of Colorado ranges from
light sandy loan to the deep alluvial.
A large percentage Of the soils a;o Of
scoriac origin, rich, productive ed

north and south No better climate
exists Cor agriculture in its vario1s
forms. The freezing Of winter is suf.
fcient to secure a mellow, Goddess
soil for spring blowing and planting.
The springs are usually early, with
sufficient precipitation to terminate
all crops without irrigation. Under
the influence of perfect summer days
coupled with the superior benefits Of
irrigation, the growing crops are
forced to early and complete maturity.
The characteristic mildness of late
autumn weather gives exceptional op'
portunities for the harvest of root
crops and the last cutting of alfalfa,
while the splendid winter climate af
fords excellent conditions for stock
feeding.

r>.ddinr for the EARN Stock.

In supplying bedding for the stock
one should consider notonly the ques-
ton of the comfort of the animals and
the cheapness of the material, but also
the question of manure making writes
W. L. Farmer in American Cultiva-
tor" We can not afford to use cheap
bedding freely, that will injure the
manure pile, nor anything that will
not add to its value. On the other
hand, the stock should never be
neglected in this way, even though
bedding is somewhat expensive. Ami
mails confined in close winter quarters
will naturally soil themselves unless
good bedding is supplied, and this will
always affect their health in the end.
The bedding acts as good absorbent,
and cleans out the stable better than
any other thing. 1t pays to furnish
good bedding, even If we get no benefit
from it other than Of improving the
health of the stock. But bedding
that makes good manure pays well.
1t is sometimes the most profitable
way to use surplus material on the
farm. If used judiciously, so that it
will absorb all of the liquids Of the
stable, it saves the farmer more than
it costs to supply it to the animals.
May consider bedding only as valua-
bic in making the animals more COM
Portable, and hence they neglect to pro-
vide it in sufficient quantity. The
straw and litter viii all be sold off the
farm for a mere song, while the stock
goes without good bedding, and the
farm is being robbed Of the plant food
it is crying so loudly for. Unless straw
can be sold at a good price it is better
to use all that is possible for the stable
where the stock is kept through the
winter. Good rye and wheat straw
make the best bedding, and this will
absorb all of the liquid in the stables,
besides adding good material to the
soil. Good straw, however, in many
parts Of the country sells well, bring
ing prices that the farmers can not
afford to let go by. 1t is probably
economy then to sell all of the good
straw, and use only the litter and
broken sheayes for bedding.

eral ingredients may be applied in
proper quantities when needed, insur-
ing thereby successful crops. Farmers
unaccustomed to irrigation readily
acquire a practical knowledge of it
ana infinitely prefer it to dependence
on natural rainfall to which they have
previously been accustomed.
GOOD HOME MARKET.
0ne-half the population of Colorado
lives in cities and towns of the plains,
more than one-fourth in mining dis
tricts, furnishing good home market
for the products of the less than one
fourth living in rural districts. As a
matter of fact, Colorado is annually
sending to other states about $1,000
900 for dairy products, 81, 500, 900 for
pork supplies, over 1000, 900 for poul-
try produce and considerably over
81, 900, 900 for fruits, all of which ought
to be raised at home.
There is a growing public sentiment
on the part of the citizens of Colorado
to give the preference in their pur-
chases to Colorado products, not only
to encourage home industries, but be-
cause of their superior quality.
DAIRYING.
While dairying is annually growing
in Importance, the creameries and
cheese factories throughout the state
have often more local orders than they
can supply. The fact is there are not
nearly enough milch cows in the state
to supply the home market for dairy
products While some of the dairy
men are conducting the business on
the most improved methods and conse-
quently making money, Others who
sell milk to the creameries, keep cows
which do not yield above eight quarts
per day and do not milk some of their
stock to exceed three months in the
year, e -. they are simply range
stock yfoAzing calves and some milk.
The ereameries pay an average price
the year round of s. cents per 100
pounds for fresh milk, and keep only
the separated cream. The cheese fac
tories pay about 5 cents per 100 pounds
more than the creameries and return
the whey to the farmers. The average
annual wholesale price of Colorado
creamery butter is IS cents a pound
There is state law against oleo and
a state dairy commissioner to see to
its enforcement II more cows were
kept in Colorado and more butter and
cheese made, the by-products would
result in greater number of hogs be-
ing raised and fattened, and Coloradc
would no longer, as now, send S75S,
900 per annum to other states for live
hogs and an additional $50, 600 for hog
products.
FRUIT RAISING AND MARKET GARDENING.
Colorado does not yet produce more
than 20 per cent of the fruit it con-
sumes and notwithstanding the great
increase during recent years OF the
area planted to fruit, principally or
chards, it is not at all likely that the
supply will equal the home deTsrd

Wheat In MARYLAND.

The Maryland Experiment station
in its summary for the past year in its
report says: The only experiment made
with wheat was with varieties; forty
kinds having been tested. The ground
was thoroughly prepared, and the
wheat sown the latter part Of Septem-
Ger; 600 pounds of fertilizer per acre
was applied; the nitrogen in this being
supplied by nitrate OF soda, and fish
scrap. The idea in using the two
forms being-that the nitrate, acting
as it does very promptly, would give
the wheat good start in the fall; and
the fish scrap, being slower in its eff
fects, would take up the work after
the nitrate had been exhausted. In
midwinter a top dressing of stable
manure was applied, with a manure
spreader, and about twenty bushels of
stone lime to the acre. On harvesting
and threshing it, most gratifying re-
turn was the result; the forty varie-
ties averaged 32.9 bushels per acre
seven of them exceeded 4O-and two
made over AZ bushels per acre.

it gays better to raise a horticultural

to grow some common farm cereal
