Hog Raising Experiment.

According to experiments just con
cluded at the agricultural college by
Prof. w. l.. Carlyle, the farmers OF
Colorado are neglecting one very prof
liable feature of their business-the
raising and fattening of hogs. This ex-
pertinent was begun last March by the
purchase of ten head of hogs for $110
on the Denver market. These animals
were shipped to the agricultural col
lege farm, where they were kept on
feed for four months. During this
time they consumed SAT worth Of grain
and other feed, making their total cost.
including purchase price, amount to
$157. They were sold at the end of
the test when the market was low,
cents per pound being realized. The
net profit on the ten head amounted to
$3125.
This, however, was only very small
portion of the money made, for during
the feeding period the ten head of
swine reared seventy-two pigs. These
pigs, when taken from their mothers,
were separated into three lots Of
twenty-four each. One of the lots was
pastured on alfalfa, another on rape
and third on barley and field peas,
each lot In addition to their pasturage
being given grain feed. From birth
until disposed of. these pigs cleaned up
44,93G pounds of grain, costing approx
imately 81 per 100 pounds. When sold,
a total weight was found Of 1929
pounds. requiring therefore, 3.5 pounds
Of grain for every pound of flesh put
on during the feeding period. A local
butcher purchased the pigs at $5.25
per 100 pounds. The sale brought
$697.5O for the seventy-two pigs, rep
resenting net profit of $24S.55. The
total profit on the original investment
of $110 for the ten sows and the sub
sequent $496 for feed consumed by
both the old hogs and the pigs,
amounted to $270.S0, or about forty
four per cent.

VIII Rush Gunnison Canal.

A. L. Fellows, in charge of the Gun
nison irrigation project in Colorado,
states that he expects work to COM
mence on construction Of cuts and the
tunnel without further delay. The Sec
retary Of the interior has approved the
bonds OF the contractors and accepted
their contracts. Several large air
compressors and other heavy machin-
cry will be purchased in Denver for
the tunnel work. The contractors have
plans ready to commence on excavat-
ing the cut leading to the tunnel and
will begin this work Immediately. The
open cut will be half mile long. The
tunnel will be 10000 feet in length
and carry 1900 cubic feet of water
per second. After emerging from the
tunnel the water will be conveyed by
100 miles Of canals and laterals and
distributed upon 1250O0 acres Of land.
Mr.. Fellows will take up the proposed
project for irrigating 10000 acres of
land by diverting the waters Of the
Grand river to the high line ditch.
north of Grand Junction. Preliminary
surveys have been made and the pro-
ject found feasible If water users
association can be formed. SO that all
OF the water diverted will be used,
the reclamation service will proceed
with the project, the estimated cos
OF which is $1,50000O.

OriQin Of the Potato,

The potato or "solanum tuberosum"
as it is named botanically. is indigo
nous to the plateaus and higher val
leys of the Andes of South America
where it is still found growing wild
and is said to have been cultivated
from time immemorial by the Indians
Of Peru, in Bolivia. who live in these
high mountain districts, which are
the natural habitat OF the llama and
alpaca, growing and maturing in
mountain attitudes so cold that Indian
corn or maize cannot ripen. The po-
tato. according to the statement of
travellers, forms the main staple and
food Of the population of that region
who preserve it by drying. This mode
OF conserving food by dessication is
common to all American Indians. who
seem to like their "carne secca" (dried
meaD. dried fruit tcrejones). berries
acorns. ETC., better in the dried state
than fresh. Their name for the potato
papa" has been adopted by the Span
iards and is used in all Spanish speak
ing countries.

The census bureau has issued a re-
port on the condition of irrigation in
the United States in 1902, showing
that 3.415 systems. with 59,311 miles
OF main canals and bitches, were irri-
eating 9,4S7,077 acres on 134036
farms. The amount expended in con-
structtng all these systems was $685.
320, ,452. The average construction cost
per acre In the arid region was 1914,
and average per irrigation system ST.
ITO. The report says that the great
obstacle to the development Of irriga-
ton in Texas and New Mexico is the
present treaty between Mexico and
this country, which prohibits the i'm.
pounding of the waters of the Rio
Grande.
Testimony intended to prove that

statements directed against the Nor
mon church and its alleged interfer
ence in political affairs. Former Gov
ernor Mcconnell said that the Gentle
members of the Idaho Legislature
have not as high morals as the Nor
mon members and that If it were not
for questions Of geography and know

ests OF the state would be bette

THE FARM AND RANGE
Farmers Institutes,

Prof. W. l.. Carlyle head of the de-
partment of agriculture of the Colo
RADIO Agricultural College, recently
visited Gunnison to perfect the organ
ization or permanent county farm
ers' institute. This is the first organ
izatiOn OF its kind in the state and it
is the plan OF the department to com
plete similar organizations in each OF
the counties OF the state within the
next twelve months, these institutes
to hold meetings at various times
throughout the year, at which there
will be In attendance officers and pro-
fessors Of the college, as well as 9TH
ers who have been particularly sue
cessful In any branch of farming or OF
stock raising. The second institute to
be organized will be in Rio Grande
county.
One OF the missions of the agricultu.
raj college is to impart to the farmers
and stock raisers Information gained
by experimenting and investigation.
and through the farmers institute is
the very best means of disseminating
this information. 1t is hoped that the
State Legislature at the coming ses-
sion will take some recognition of the
importance of this work which the col
lege is trying to carry out and that an
appropriation will be made for meeting
the necessary expenses of the organiz-
alton. including the salary Of super
intendent whose duties it shall be to
secure speakers for the various meet
ings. to assist in arranging programs
in the different counties and to push
the work in various ways.
Many of the states In the East and
Middle West, and in fact some of the
western states. including Wyoming.
Utah and Idaho, have adopted this
scheme of county institutes. and in ev-
cry instance they are doing great
amount of good. Many of the state
legislatures are making annual appro-
priations of from $10, 900 to 500 1000 for
paying the salary Of the superintend-
ent and meeting the other necessary
expenses of conducting the work.

That temperature and sunshine are
the dominant factors in producing the
best quality of sugar beets Is an
nounced as the result of Ave years
experiments which have just been con-
cluded by the chemistry division Of
the Department of Agriculture. The
tests were made in localities ranging
from New York to North Carolina, and
entirely across the continent. The en-
vironments. the influence of which on
sugar beet was considered. were the
soil and Its cultivation and prepara
tion. artificial fertilization. hours Of
sunshine and cloudiness, elevation and
latitude and longitude. The results
indicate that low temperature is the
greatest of these factors in producing
beets, with sunshine next in import
ance. The average temperature of the
best localities, according to these re-
suSs. is not exceeding seventy degrees
Fahrenheit during the three growing
months, June, July and August. Above
this figure richness of the beets con-
stantly diminishes. and the longer day
and consequent longer hours OF sun
shine makes Il location best fitted for
high-sugared beets.
1t is quite advisable to have scratch
ing-poles in the dairy corral. one end
of Il long pole can be set in the ground
and the other fastened to an upright
post. The pole will thus form an in
cline with the surface of the ground
and will present various heights, so
that any sized COW can get under and
scratch herself Stock like to use these
scratching poles.
