GOOD YEAR FOR FEEDING
Agricultural Expert Hands
Valley Farmers Bouquet.


Prof. a. NJ. Cottrell of the state
agricultural college just returned
to Fort Collins from the San Luis
valley gives the following inter-
view in the Chieftain:
THE San Luis valley stands
almost alone in one particular this
year. 1t has feed for fattening
cattle, hogs and sheep in abund-
ance and that will cost no more
than in other years. All appear
ances are that this will be the best
year the valley has seen for profit
able feeding, where judicious
methods are followed. In the
other chief lamb feeding centers
of Colorado there is not over half
a crop of alfalfa hay and the
number of lambs ted is necessarily
limited to the supply of alfalfa,
In the sections of Colorado where
alfalfa is fed to lambs, corn is fed
with it, and all reports from the
corn growing states indicate very
short crop and extremely high
prices. This means high priced
feed for the lamb feeders of eastern
Colorado.
The field peas of the San Luis
valley are in remarkably fine con-
dition and with proper care for the
rest of the season will make full
yield at the usual low cost.
With these conditions in the
San Luis valley every feeder
should use his utmost endeavors
to get the greatest gain from all
his crops when fed to fattening
animals.
With the peas left standing
and the stock turned loose in the
fields to gather them, the follow
ing average gains are made per
acre: With lambs, 100 pounds;
with pigs, 400 pounds. Careful
tests show that where the peas are
harvested and fed to the animals
confined in small yards, at least
double these gains can be made.
In test made one year ago, hogs
turned loose in a pea field made a
gain of 400 pounds per acre of
peas. Hogs confined in pens and
fed peas and vines gathered from
the field gained 800 pounds per
acre of peas.
"The great difficulty has been
practical method of harvesting the
peas. For years some of the
farmers have harvested part of the
crop by cutting the peas with a
mower, raking, cooking and stack
ing the same as for hay. This
requires a great deal of labor and
the peas shell badly.
Last year a Manassa farmer
tried the experiment of gathering
the peas without moving them.
He used a regular hay stacking
outfit, gathering the uncut pea
vines with bull rakes and put them
in the stack with an ordinary
stacker. Where the bull rake first
entered the pea field some of the
vines were missed; but after two
or three forks full were gathered
on the rake the vines were taken
up clean and there was no shelling,
Using this method, three teams
and five men will put 20 acres of
peas in the stack each day and
this expense is small compared
with its effect in doubling the
gains in fattening stock"

firmly believes in the policies Of Mr.

Human Bones Are Found.

The theory that Dave Bradbury, who
has been missing since the Empire fire,
lost his life in the flames is borne out
by the finding of bones in the ruins.
As no water was available the fire was
allowed to burn itself out, and it was
not until yesterday that the embers
were cool enough to admit of q
search being made. The bones were
found where the man was supposed to
have slept. The first bones were found
late Sunday afternoon, and yesterday
the search was resumed with the re-
suit that what is supposed to be part
of hip bone was taken from the debris.
The bones were found OH and near q
spring mattress. This fact makes it
clear that they must be of human
origin, for no animals were in the
neutrality-suspicious. Chronicle.
