Beet Pup Feeding.

The Greeley correspondent Of the
Denver Republican says 5000 sheep
at the Greeley sugar factory yards and
5000 at the Windsor yards are being
fattened on beet pulp and alfalfa by
the Greeley Sugar Company. The
sheep are ewes and were purchased in
New Mexico. They are placed in pens
each Of which accommodate from 100
to 500 sheep and are carefully watched.
They were put on feed October 18th.
At that time they averaged seventy
four pounds and since then have made
gain Of two and one-half pounds per
head per week. Each sheep Is fed ten
pounds Of pulp and a half pound OF
alfalfa per day After this week they
will be given syrup daily with the
pulp. It was found by experiments last
year that beet syrup made the flesh
sweeter and firmer and prevented the
shrinkage in shipment which hereto
fore has been one Of the objections to
pulp for mutton.
Every week the pens are Inspected
and the sheep graded as to their cOndi
tion and weight. BY December End +.
is expected that the sheep will weigh
ninety eight pounds each and at that

Two thou5and more sheep will be
placed in the Greeley yards and 5000
In the Eaton yards within few days.
By February 10Th the sugar company
will place about 500 cattle on feed of
beet pulp and alfalfa.
All told. the sugar company will han
die on its own ground 5000 head OF
sheep and from 500 to 600 head Of cat
tie. Already the beet pulp from thds
seasons crop Of 100000 tons of beets
has been contracted for by farmers,
who are feeding sheep for market.
Manager Granger estimates that $4,000
head of sheep and 300 head Of cattle
will consume this beet pulp, which has
been found an excellent stock food.
Last season the sugar company
made 90 cents profit per head on pulp
fed sheep. A careful comparison was
made as to the value OF pulp and al
falfa as against pulp. alfalfa and corn
as a food. The pulp and alfalfa fed
sheep showed twenty-five per cent
more gain in weight than those fed on

To the Hon. Alva Adams-Dear Sir:
You have had much to say about what
you regard as the usurpation Of au-
thority by the military forces Of the
state in Teller county.
You seem to imbibe much satisfac-
tion from constant reiteration of the
phrase:
THE military must be subseryient
to the civil power"
And then you act in such a manner
as to give your hearers the impress
sion that something dreadful hap
pened to this wise provision of the
constitution during the recent conflict
with Western federation lawlessness
in Colorado.
Will rou not please give the pub
lie the benefit Of your judgment upon
the following question:
Does not the law that makes the
military subordinate to the civil power
imply in itself that there must be a
civil power capable, effective and will.
ing to act?
In other words, in the event that
the civil powers of county got into
the hands of insurrectionists or their
sympathizers. would you then contend
that the military sent to suppress the
insurrection should be held subordi-
nate to the civil power in such
county?
Witness Teller county. where you
have said that criminals have long

THE FARM AND RANCx

Post has . deseriU<Ion Of the orchards
between Denver and Golden. which.
especially in apples and plums. are
among the most prolific In the state.
Among the places mentioned are those
Of F. NJ. Oakley. v. Deyinuy and Casoa
Howell.
The Ca.son Howell ranch Is one oe
the Oldest and most extensive apple
producers In this belt. This farm has
been under water for = great many
years and has trees twenty-five years
old or more. In all, Mr. Howell has
about fifteen acres in apples. The
winter apples have not yet been har-
vested. but several years ago 5S5 bar.
rels, or 1.7s5 boxes. were gathered
from two acres Twelve big Ben
Davis trees in particular gave . pro-
digious yield. furnishing . total Of 80
barrels. AS apples that year brought

sum Of $40 for tho crop OF twelve
trees for one season.

records may go by the board before

very interesting feature in Cason
Howells orchards is the natural brace
which he has invented for the fruit
trees. This ought to be of great ad-
vantage to farmers IL It were generally
adopted. The plan is simply to take a
little shoot growing from one Of the
main branches OF the tree and graft
the loose end OF 1t to another of the
large branches. The graft Is made
not far above where the trunk of the
tree divides, and is always made in
the direction which the limb naturally
takes. In other words. the brace runs
up and not down. SO that 1t may not
be torn from its root. The pull is
then lengthw!se one and is resisted
more strongly by the shoot which is
serving as brace. The gratis on this
ranch were made when the trees were
about five years old.
The leaves are shaved from the
limbs to be grated. split is made in
the other branch. and the end Of the
shoot inserted. The limb is then
wrapped around with cloth. which is
wound about the branch to hold it in
place. In few years the grated slip
becomes a substantial natural brace.
holding the main branches Of the tree
together. despite the increasing weight
which tends to destroy the shapeliness
and the usefulness of the tree by
splitting the trunk or tearing away one
OF the main limb. Some Of these braces
in the Howell orchard were from four
10 six inches through. and one Of them,
at least is greater than either of the
forks of the tree.
Other ranchers laughed at this novel
device of warding aaginst the weight
Of too great crops. They declared that
the brace would have the effect Of
pushing the branches OF the fork apart.
instead of holding them together. but
such has not proved to be the case.
The original device adopted fourteen
years ago has not only saved many
trees which were among the greatest
bearers IN the Howell orchards. but
has also been adopted by other farm
er1 at Delta, Grand Junction and else
where.
