sometimes talked of things so far
above the heads of his class that no
body understood what he was driving
at
zone day he started in on some alb
stract proposition and talked for half
or three-quarters Of an hour. He was
away over I'm the back OF the book
The entire class was dazed The pro-
fessor rambled on with his PROPOSE
tions until everybody was so tangled
that nobody was sure Of his name
Finally the professor took out his
watch. gazed at it impressively and
said; Now, gentlemen, there are ten
minutes remaining of the recitation
hour. II anybody wishes to question
me concerning the subjects have just
treated, | shall be glad to answer 10

BEETSASFEED
Experience of a Fort Collins Farm
er in Feeding Sugar BeetS
To Cattle, Sheep
and Hogs.
PROVES A BIG SUCCESS
Stock of All Kinds Thrive on
the Tops and Pulp From
The Factory.

The Fort collins Courier gives the
experience of e. II. Bushnell in feed
ing sugar beets to sheep. hogs and
cattle and a so tells of the value of
beet culture as means of fitting soil
for other crops. He said in his arti-
Gle: "Unless all signs fail the in
PRODUCTION OF the sugar beet growing
into the Pou]re valley will serve
many valuable purposes outside of the
manufacture of sugar. of profit to
those who raise baets for manufactur-
er's use. In the fist place there is
great benefit to the soil. found in the
cultivation of the beet. Sugar beet
growing has now come to be recognize
ed as high class of gardening.
In order to make the industry profit
able the land whereon sugar beets are
grown must not only be well fertiliz-
ed. but must be thorouhly cultivated.
Ground upon which sugar beets are
raised for two or three yenrs in sue
cession must necessarily be in good
shape for any crop that NAV follow
them. By rotating wheat with alfalfa
the yield per acre of that cereal has
been more than doubled in the Poudre
valley within the past few years, and
il is predicted that wheat rotated
with sugar beets may even exceed it's
yield when following alfalfa.
Here are three cardinal points at

secondly. it becomes thoroughly pull
verized. and thorongly; thirdly it be-
comes thoroughly cleansed of all weeds
and foreign growths. Foul. weedy
land is one of the obstacles that the
Colorado farmer has had to contend
with for years; but the continued
plowing, cultivating, boeing and
hand wedding, act as a thorough pur-
ifier uf the soil Hence there are
many advantages gained by the farmer
in raising sugar beets outside of the
mere money obtained at the sugar
factory for the beets.
Again. there are uses to be made of
the sugar beet other than factory uses.
Then here are the by products at the
factory III the shape of beet pulp
which will serve an important end in
stock feeding and fertilization of
land. And it is an experiment in
stock feeding that the present article
has to deal. The feeding was not of
pulp but the beet itself. The expert
ment in question was that of Mr.. E.
H. Bushnell, farmer living "a few
miles east of Ft. Collins. Up to last
year Mr.. Bushnell has been a feeder
of lambs according to the established
methods of the Poudre valley. Some
years Mr. Bushnell made money at
the business, and some years he did
not. Last year both lambs and corn
being high he concluded to try some
thing else. He raised some ten acres
of sugar beets. and near neighhor or
two has also raised small patches of
the same crop. Next year Mr.. Bush
nell will raise nearly thirty arces of
beets for stock feeding alone.
