Two Bulletins.

Two new bulletins have just been
issued by the State Agricultural COL
lege at Fort Collins. One Is on a
fertilizer experiment with sugar
beets and Is by A. III. Danielson.
This gives the result of investiga-
tions along this line for the past two
or three years, and may be of consid-
erable value to beet growers.
The other bulletin is by DR..
George Fl Glover on larkspur and
other poisonous plants. This will
be found especially valuable to stock
growers.

To Have Three Cent Fare.

Beginning July l all of the Colo
rado railroads will grant three cent
a mile fare between all points in
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona
and Nevada points. This in most
cases will mean reduction of %
per cent from the old fare, as four
cents mile has been the general
charge on all roads on the plains,
and five to six cents mile on noun
tain roads.
The new rate will give fare of
$l.56 from Greeley to Denver, with
likely still better rate for round

PASTURE FOR SWINE.
Alfalfa In Connection With Grain
Gives Good Results.

Fl. P. Gumaer of Lakin, Kan, who
raises from 900 to 1000 hogs every
year, says: "These hogs always are
raised on alfalfa pasture in summer
and alfalfa hay in winter, together
with sorghum, supplemented with
little corn or other grain. We breed
our sovs to farrOw in February, March
and April so far as we can, so that by
the time the alfalfa is large enough 10
turn on to the pigs are ready to turn
out. When these pigs are four 10
eight months old they are much sought
after by eastern Kansas feeders Mr..
Gumaer does not approve of trying to
grow hogs on alfalfa alone. On this
point he says: 81 have heard much said
about raising good hogs on alfalra
alone. with no grain, but / have seen
no good hogs So raised. / have known
q number of instances where the ex-
periment has been tried, but 1t al
ways resulted in failure"
AS to the amount Of grain to be red
in connection with alfalfa to growing
hogs Mr.. Gumaers practice is to feed
about two bushels of shelled corn or It's
eoulvalent in some other grain to a
hundred brood sows sucking pigs and
70 four-month-ol pigs about the same
amount Of grain to 500 lead. He feeds
morning and evening, scattering the
grain thinly over the ground 80 that all
will have an equal chance at 1t. MT.
Gumaer says that one objection to the
hog grown and fattened on afaifa
alone is that the meat has fishy taste.
In finishing for the market he prefers
TO take them off the alfalfa pasture en-
tirely about thirty days before they go
70 market. That Mr. Gumaer has made
n success Of this plan Is evidenced by
the fact that while producing In I'M
mense numbers he has been able to top
the Kansas City market many times.
G.. II. Payne of Nebraska reports a
gain of thirty-siX pounds per head IN
sixty days on shotes fed a half pound
DER head per day Of shelled corn In ad'
dition to alfalfa pasture. A lot Of TWEEN
ty-two pure bred Duroc-Jersey gifts zen
one pound of ground wheat and corn
per head per day made a gain of Oh
pounds In the sixty days from Sept. IA
to Nov. H. Another lot Of thirty shotes
fed four pounds per head per day OF
ground wheat and corn and running on
alfalfa pasture made ffty-nine pounds
gain per head in sixty days. The In
creased amount Of grain had but little
effect In increasing the rate OF gain Oh

SHELTER MARES
WITH FOALS

Mares with young foals which are
turned out in the early part Of the
spring and remain out until late in the
fall should be provided with some sort
Of shed TO protect them from the cold
rains, writes a correspondent of Breed

from getting all kinds Of sickness, such
as distemper and coughs, quite a COM
mon thing among horses. Many young
animals have been stunted In growth
by being subjected to all kinds Of
rough weather, and some die and are
broken in constitution from exposure.

stock upon the farm and interested
mo .ly in their comforts in winter as
well as in summer, l have planned

AN ORANGE GROVE,
liodern Methods In Cultivating the
Gold of the Orchard.

Gold OF the OrcnuTuf
You are certainly entitled to look
through that wire fence and see all that
constitutes an orange orchard. There
IRE 200 round headed trees, about
twelve feet in diameter The fruit
looks Immensely as If it had, been arti-
IDEALLY put ln place. Really those
would pass for 200 Christmas trees.
Does nature do this sort Of work any
where else? You forget the cherry trees
I'm your northern orchard. lou have be-
come so familiar with the scarlet gloo-
ules that hang all over those trees,
with orioles and robins shouting ap-
proyal. and tanagers with indigo birds
sitting in the apple tree overhead, that
YOU cannot fully see and appreciate the
charm. But you certainly have not for
gotten the glory of Mcintosh red APP
pie tree in October or indeed whole
orchard of ripe Northern Spies, Spleen
burgs and Kings. Yet the orange has a
glory all its own. 1t Is the gold Of the
orchard. You thought the trees grew In
groves. "but here they are in long. reg
ular rows" That was a word borrow
ed from the wild oranges that In Span
ish days came up where they might
and were seldom transplanted. They
grew as those wild persimmons grow
at the edge Of the orchard or as pines
and naples grow. But your modern
orange trees are grown in long rows to
be cultivated with plows and Lorses.
The real orange tree should stand
about twenty-five or thirty feet high,
with a trunk Of five or six inches. Its
foliage is dense and rich green. 1t Is
grand tree to sit beneath at midday
and drink the Juices Of the fruit instead
of water-it Is distilled perfectly. But
these trees are round and low headed,
and one must stoop to get beneath
them. They are made OF the CRATER
shoots that came up around the old
trees after the freeze. They are more
convenient to spray. to protect from
the blizzard while the fruit Is more
easily gathered. You can walk all

There are quite as many varieties Of
oranges In this orchard as there are OF
apples or plums in most Of your north
ern orchards - fifteen or twenty, at
least. The grower knows them all by
name and can tell them all by the
shape and the quality. He does not 20
at random and pick any fine big orange
for his own eating. but he takes his
selection-the King or the Homosasa,
or the Jaffa. or the Ruby, or Parson

Some Of the last springs colts are
getting thin. They were in good flesh
when weaned, were turned out to pas

'roughed through" without enough

The nomination Of sheriffs according
to the present mode dates from 14ol.
The shire reeve" was first appointed
by Alfred the Great to assist the alder
men and the bishop In the discharge OF
their judicial functions in the coun-

acted that they should be ordained on
the morrow OF All Souls by the cnan-
cellor, treasurer and chief baron OF the

1t is always desirable to build upon
the farm buildings which are comfort
able as well as ornamental and pleas
ing to the eye. OF course every man
builds according TO his means and own
taste. The door should be amply wide
enough to prevent the mares from be-
ing damned or crowded, as the case
may be. A foundation should be built
with the level OF the ground, on which
the sleepers rest; these should be 10 by
10. or In accordance with the size OF
the building. All the rest Of the timber
that is, the framework, with the ex-
ception Of the siding-is 4 by 4 lumber.
The height Of the building is eight and

The MerinO Sheep.

During all the varying fortunes of the
Merlno sheep in America the funua-
mental characteristics that have main
tanned him In his leading position ID
the sheep Industry have been his natu-
raj adaptabllity TO inherent conditions
of soil and climate and his superior
ability to meet and adapt himself to the
whimsical demands Of fashion and the
RAPIDLY changing conditions Of the In
dustry in its entirety. For while there
have been abuses and extremes IN the
ideal types of some of his breeders and
some of his partlsans, becoming I'M
bued with some particular idea OF
fleece or form or covering, have wan
dered from the one great flock OF Me-
rIno sheep, yet the general direction OF
all Merinos has been toward a greater
and better use for man and greater
profit for his shepherds.
And when we say Merino sheep we
do not confne ourselves to some par
tIcular family or strain of Merlnos, but
we include all sheep Of pure Merino
blood, whether they be called SPANISH
American or Vermont Merino; whether
Black Top, Dickinson or Delaines
whether Ramboulllet or French Merino
or Franco-Amerlcan Merino, wherever
they have been bred In these vast Unit
ed States. For while they are desig-
mated as distinct breeds they are really
only families of the one great breed
and there Is no sharp dividing line be-
tween them. For we have seen many
animals that no breeder, however ex-
pert. could declare with certainty were
