Farm and Dairy Notes.
From Field and Farm.

Duirymen want the best and
cheapest feed for their cows. If
they raise alfalfa they have the
cheapest because they can raise
more tons to the acre than they
can from any grass, and it is also
the best because it will produce
more milk than any grass.
1t is curious how particular
Denver people are at times in the
matter of potatoes. They want
the red Greeley varieties and they
will have them if there are any on
the market. In Leadville and
other mountain towns anything
that is potato goes, and if there
is any particularly expressed as
to color they will take the white
every time. Pueblo has an inal-
terable affection for the Divide
product aud takes most of the crop.
There can be no doubt about
The utility of narrowing oats in
this dry climate when the crop is
two or three inches high. This
practice not Only conserves the
moisture but increases the yield.
The work is best adapted to drilled
ground, although there are those
who do not hesitate to go in upon
II stand that was sown by broad
casting. When the grain is young
the ground is severely exposed to
the action OF wind and sun, and
thus loses large quantities of water.
BY cultiyating or scratching the
surface of the ground this loss will
be largely prevented, just as it is
in a cornfield that is well cul,ivat-
ed. Thus far the season has been
very cool and dry and it behooves
every good grain grower to adopt
the very best methods IN prcmot-
ing tiIth and saving moisture.
The Continental creamery COM
pany has finally made the startling
discovery that the buffalo grass of
eastern Colorado which the cattle
can pasture every month in the
year, when they can get to the
ground at all, makes the finest
favored butter in the world. The
high altitude, the healthy cattle,
the pure air and other conditions
make it an ideal country for the
dairy business and it is coming up
now by leaps and bounds. The
proper development of the daiI y
business in the country will add
one-third to the value of its pro-
ducts and this will reflect upon
every industry and every foot of
land in that part of the state.
There are thousands of fairly good
cows running on the range and in
pastures, everyone of which might
be making their owners from two
to five dollars a month. Year
after year these cows have given
their milk to calves which would
have done just as well on skim
milk and little meal or ,other
feed. The butter fat in this milk
is worth $500 IA ton = rather ex
pensive feed for calves One
ranchmnn will milk seventy five
cows this summer and several
ranchmen have determined to milk
all the way from fifty TO 200 cows
all told. This means that these
men will be getting from $3.50
to $1,000 month out of COWS
which heretofore have brought
them nothing but the calves. II

WHEN I AM DEAD.

I do not ask the mourner's tear
OF those who pass around my bier
l do not ask the tragic grief
In tears alone that finds relief.
But bending DER my narrow bed,
Speak kindly Of me when I'm dead.
All, lay not flowers, fresh and sweet,
In rich prOfusion at my feet!
But bring some mem'ry with you there
That links my name with scenes once
And beg blessing DER my head
As you look on me when I'm dead.
If have failed, ah. then forget
The bitterness OF vain regret!
Let it for me atonement plead
Forget the thoughtless word or deed,
And breathe a prayer for me instead
As you look on me when I'm dead.
All, could we of another life
Its record find, Of dangers rife,
OF disappOfntments, sobs and tears,
Temptations, doubts, and loves and fears
We'd pause as tragic lines were read
In admiration Of the dead!
All, question self, and who can tell?
Gould you have filed my place as well!
Life's troublous GIBBS and tides have
braved,
Though dying for the love you craved!
So whisper prayers above my head,
And judge me kindly when I'm dead.

But Tom Lawson was not the dream

them not. There Is no keener sense OF
loneliness than that.
He was thinking Of all this as he sat
tired and dusty-on the beam of his
plow and looked out vacantly over the
acres of brown earth that lay in long
ribbons before him. Something in the
gathering twilight saddened him. May
be it was the thought of his isolation,
