Dairying in Colorado.

Some of the figures recently pub
lished on Colorado dairying follow:
5000 cows supply milk to Denver, and
$4,000 daily supply milk to the rest
of the state. 1t takes 25, 900 COWS to
supply the cream used About As, 900
cows are supplying milk to cream
cries and 1000 are supplying milk to
cheese factories. 1t is estimated that
10000 cows are supplying butter to
the ranches. The annual milk con-
sumption for the entire state is put
at 89, ,425,000 quarts, and the number
of quarts of cream used is reported
at 5,475, 900. The value of all cows
in the state is given as $5,119, 500 and
the wholesale value of the milk is
placed at $2.906,312.

Slow Progress in Butter-Making.
In the middle west we have four
states that are particularly noted for
dairying, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Illinois. said Prof. G. l. Mckay
in an address. Iowa, Minnesota and
Illinois are especially adapted for but
termaking, Iowa being the banner
state, as more butter, is made here
than in any other state in the union.
This has the effect of making us
rather boastful; in fact, it is COM
mon thing to hear some of our public
men eu1ogize this state so much that
we sometimes overlook what they
are doing in other states. It is true
that we have things to boast of. but
when we approach the question of
milk production. we find that we have
not kept abreast of the times as conn
pared with the advancements made
along other lines of agricultural pur-
suits.
In the year 1880 it required 17%c
worth of labor to produce one bushel
of wheat. In 1896 it required but 313c-
In 1850 the average time required for
producing a bushel of corn was four
and one-half hours. Take up the pro-
gress that has been made in the horse
business. Not many years ago a three
minute horse was considered quite q
novelty; to-day a three-minute horse
ranks nothing better than good
driver. When we speak Of fast
horse now, we look for a two-minute
horse. See the great progress that
has been made in the beef business.
good sires selling way up in the thou
sands. What do we ind in the dairy
business? The average of our state.
140 pounds of butter per COW, in this
nothing to boast of in such a record
as this. 1t is true that we have some
herds in the state that are averaging
over 800 pounds per COW. There is no
reason why every dairyman IN the
state should not strive for herd of
this kind. When we get such herds
we will hear no complaints that dairv-
ing does not pay.
The rapid increase in the. price of
| land during the last five or six years
makes it necessary that farmers must
| farm more intelligently than they have
| ever done before. Economic problems
must be studied more carefully if we
expect to get adequate returns from
| the money invested. We have a coun-
| try as well adapted for dairying as
any in the world. Our soil is rich, our
| climatic conditions are good, and we
| have an abundance of grass and pure
,, water. In connection with this we
| have a progressive, intelligent people.
| Nevertheless, we must admit that we
are producing milk just about as ex-
| pensively as we did twenty years ago.

HOpTICUN)PE,
Planting in Blocks.

It Is not advisable to plant any one
variety of apples, pears or plums in
blocks, even OF a hundred, unless
there are other varieties on all sides
OF the block. Within comparatively
recent years it has been discovered
that many Of our varieties of the
above mentioned fruit are largely in
fertile to their own pollen, some more
SO than others. This kind of plant
ing has caused many good orchard
to be infertile, without the owner even
suspecting the true cause.
1t was first found that plums re-
Quired to be cross-pollenized to in
sure a harvest. Then some one dis
covered that the Keifer pear was a
very uncertain quantity without some
other varieties near 1t. The investi-
cation was continued, with the result
that several other varieties of pears
were found to be in need of cross
fertilization. At last the scientists
made some elaborate experiments to
determine to what extent the apple
came under the same laws as to pol
ination. To the surprise of almost
every one it was proved that very few
OF our varieties of apples do as well
fertilized by their own pollen as by
the pollen Of another variety, and
some OF the varieties are found to be
almost sterile when fertilized by the
pollen of that variety. It is. there
fore, best to SO set out apple, plum
and pear trees that the pollen of one
variety may oe used on another va
rtety. This will greatly increase the
probability of crop.

Red and Pink Combined.

A combination of colors most people
would exclaim at has become very
popular this season. 1t is red and
pink, and brunettes may consider this
a blessing, as it is particularly becom-
ing to their type. Pink is used for
the foundation of the frock, and it is
trimmed with clusters of cherry or
deep poppy shades that blend with
it. The effect is very rich, and a hand
some gown is the result if care is
taken in the shading of the color.

Dairy Equipment.


The care which is given to milk on
the farm where produced, whether 1t
is to go to a milk market or to be
made into butter or cheese, with the
location, construction and arrange
ment of dairies or milk rooms, their
equipment and management, show
great variety and lack of uniformity
in every country, says Henry E. Al
word.
The good. the bad and the indiffer-
ent are common to all Good milk
rooms. well located, thoroughly built,
shaded, cool and well kept are not
hard to find in any dairy district. Con-
struction is heavier and more durable
in Europe; convenience and ease of
management are common in America
Excepting Denmark and Sweden, no
country compares with America in
the general appreciation and use of
cold water and ice in the care of milk.
The almost entire absence of re-
frigeration in France and the general
ignorance of the value of cold in
dairying is truly astonishing. In the
matter of dairy appliances and equip
ment the United States is surpassed
by no other country, although Den
mark and parts of Great Britain stand

Cherry Growing in Iowa.

Iowa is making steady progress as
a fruit growing state. The census of
1890 reported 3,14O,588 apple trees
growing within her borders. In 1900
the number had reached 6,S69, ,5ss. In
1895 there were 707, 7,506 plum trees in
the state; in 1900, 1.302,217. In cherry
trees the increase is even more strik-
ing, there being zoe, 900 trees in 1890,
against 100000 in 1900. While the
climate OF the northern part of the
state is no doubt too severe for sue
cessful cherry growing with any ex-
cept the hardest varieties, this de-
licious fruit can easily be grown in the
central and southern parts. The tree
is handsome and ornamental and is
appropriate for lawn and garden.

Transmitting Consumption to Cattle.
Experiments are being continually
made to determine the transmissibil-
man and from animals to man. The
later experiments seem to quite gen.
orally demonstrate that the terrible
disease is easily transmissible. In
Germany q number of tests have re-
Gently been made to determine to
what extent animals are subject to
the tuberculosis germs in human
sputum. In these experiments cows
and 2 calves were used, the cows be-
ing two years old and the calves to
5 weeks old at the beginning of the
experiments. Each animal received
from so to 60 grammes OF human
sputum in the milk or upon green
fodder. No alteration of temperature
was observed in any Of the animals
during the course of the experiments.
After a period of four months the
animals were killed and examined. In
all cases infection had taken place
and was apparent in the various abb
dominal organs. The origin of the in
lection appeared to have been in all
cases the Emphatic glands in the
region of the pharynx- Positive re-
suits were obtained from the exam-

Hogs and Salt.

From time to time we hear about
hogs being killed as a result of salt
and brine. One man says that in kia
vicinity the ice cream makers threw
out the salt from the freezers and the
hogs ate it and died. Other hogs also
drank the brine from it and died.
There is no necessity of putting the
matter to the test. A little salt is q
good thing, but there Is no doubt that
q great deal of salt will kill almost
any animal. There would seem to be
no mystery connected with the kill
ing OF pigs by salt when it Is eaten
