Improvement of Homes

The United States department of
agriculture has issued, as No. 270 in
the Farmers Bulletin series, a treat
Use on Modern Conveniences for the
Farm Home" The subject of the pub
lication is to show how farmers can
equip their homes with many of the
conveniences now largely confined to
city homes Among the subjects
treated are water supply, plumbing.
bathrooms and closets, sewarge dis
posal and heating. The farmer Is
shown how, at n comparatively small
expense. he can supply his home with
water by means OF an elevated tank
filled by a hydraulic ram, a windmill.

Hogs Without Corn

In regard to raising hogs in Colo
rado, Prof Cattrell, formerly Of Kan
sas, says:
Il believe there is a great future
for the hog feeding industry in this
state and ! hope to be able through
experiments which we will conduct
at the college to show the Colorado
stockmen that hogs can be raised and
fattened very successfully on Colorado
grown feeds. In the test which we
are about to begin we shall use moth
ing but feeds produced in this state
Barley, which is raised in abund-
ance here, will be the chief ration
tried in the preliminary experiments
and We will endeavor to ascertain the
best supplementary feeds to go with
It, The Danish bacon hog, which is
considered the best in the world, is
fed largely on barley, as the produc-
ers in that country have found after
years of experimenting and consider
able outlay of money in testing the
different feeds that it is the best for
finishing this type of hog Conditions
in Colorado are ideal for producing
the bacon hog and our energies will
be devoted very largely along this
line.
In my experiments at the Kansas
experiment station, where | was To-
Gated for a number Of years before
coming to Colorado, we were very
successful in producing the bacon hog
from feeds grown in the dry farming
sections and special attention will be
given in our work here to feeding
with the products of the non-irrigated
land.

liable experiment stations, the secre-
tary says that the farmer is making
progress in the sciences and arts of
agriculture, and he asserts that "the
time of the man and the yield of the
acre become more responsive as more
imperative demands are made upon
them; that our research extends to all
the states and territories and to our
island possessions; that every feature
of interest in soils, plants and ami
mails has the attention; that explor-
ations during the past year in ex-
treme northern latitudes of Europe
and Asia have resulted in accessions

So far as new laws are concerned,
the secretary reports that the meat
law is being enforced, and inspection
is now made in over thousand
houses. Not less than thirteen hun
dred experts have been added to the
inspection force Rules have been
prepared for the execution of the pure
food law. Good has followed the op-
Grafton of the law for the extermina-
tion of the cattle fever tick in some
of the southern states. In dealing
with the gypsy and brown tail moths
of New England, imported parasites
have been successfully established. A
beginning has been made in the meth
Cd of determining the grading of
grain, and the law providing for the
humane treatment Of live stock in
transit is receiving careful attention.
The value of crops continues to
rush forward beyond comprehension;
crops are straining the freight-carry-
ing ability of the railroads; and the
farmer, alive to the Importance of
the place that he occupies in the ma
ton, offers this yearly account of him
self to the people. The secretary prom
ises that the figures presented in his
review Of the years full production
are advance estimates preliminary to
those to be made later by the depart
ment. Estimates are made for COM
parison with every detail presented
by the census. The farm products of
the year have a farm value of very
nearly six thousand eight hundred
million dollars, nearly half a billion
above the value of 1905 and exceed
ing by over two billion dollars the
figures for the last census.
