PECULIAR ADVANTAGES OF FIELD
PEAS FOR LAMBS AND
HOGS.
VALLEY FULL OF FEED
CROP IN FINE CONDITION AND
WILL BE SOURCE OF GREAT
PROFIT.

In an article on feeding con iitions
In the San Luis valley, II. Nj. tO.uell
of the Colorado Agricultural tu.lege
says:
The writer has just returned + ON a
twelve days trip through the San Luis
Valley holding farmers institutes.
The attendance was larger than ever
before and the interest greater. The
San Luis valley stands almost alone
in one particular this year. II has
feed for fattening cattle, hogs, and
sheep in abundance and that will cost
no more than in other years. All ap-
pearances are that this will be the best
year the valley has seen for profitable
feeding, where judicious methods are
followed. In the other chief lamb.
feeding centers of Colorado there is
not over half crop of alfalfa hay,
and the number of lambs fed is neces-
sarily limited to the supply OF alfalfa.
In the sections of Colorado where al
falfa is fed to lambs, corn is fed with
1t, and all reports from the cOrn-grow-
ing 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 remark
ably fine condition. 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 great
est 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 following average
gains are made per acre: With lambs,
100 bounds; with pigs. Ace pounds.
Careful tests show that Where the peas
are harvested and fed ia the animals
confined in small yards. at least dou-
BILE these gains can be made. In test
made one year ago hogs turned loose
in a pea field gained 400 pounds per
acre of peas. Hogs confined in pens
and fed peas and vines gathered from
the field made gain Of 500 pounds
per acre of peas. Tho great difficulty
has been a practical method of harvest
ing the peas. For yeas some of the
farmers have harvested part of the
crop by cutting the peas with mower,
raking, cooking and stacking the same
as for hay. This requires great deal
of labor and the peas shell badly
Last year Manassa farmer tried an
experiment of gathering the peas with
out moving them. He used regular
Eay-stacking outfit. gathering the un-
cut pea vines with bull rakes, and put
them in the stack with an ordinary
stacker. Where the bull rakes first en-
tered The pea field. some of the vines
We're missed; but after two or three
forks full were gathered on the rakes
the vines were taken up clean and
there was no shelling. Using this
method, three teams and five men will
put twenty acres of peas in the stack
each day.

Canon City.-Pres. S. H. Atwater
OF the kansasC Colorado Power & Rail
road Company, who with other officials
has just completed tour in the inter-
ests Of the enterprise through eastern
Colorado and western Kansas. has the
following to say regarding the enthusi-
asm with which the proposition is be-
ing received and the possibilities Of the
enterprise:
Il have received so many assurances
from the people in the lower part of the
Arkansas valley that it seems almost
impossible for anything but the most
favorable outcome to our efforts.

about western Kansas, but when saw

people everywhere received us most
heartily and were greatly interested

HARVESTING BEANS.
Michigan Grower Tells How He
Manages.

Beans grown commercially in this
section are ready for harvest about
the last of August or the first of Sep
tember. l always believe in securing
my beans before the leaves drop. Just
as soon as the beans are fairly ripe
begin to cut them without waiting un-
til they get hard. ! use an ordinary
bean cutter, taking two rows at time.
| have men follow and place two rows
of cut beans or four original rows in
one. Two men and team follow and
place these on wagon preparatory to
hauling to the barn. Two men and
one team can clean five acres a day.
At first ! made platforms of rails in
my barn bays. | soon found that this
was unnecessary and gave 1t up. Now
| put down layer CT straw, then put
on three feet of beans. l then spread
over another layer of straw, and then
follow with beans, and so on. l have
never had beans spoil in this manner,
and l often fill my bay full to the top.
Do not try to thresh your beans be-
fore three to six weeks after they are
put into the barn. Here is where a
great many make a mistake. Beans,
like most grains, are much finer If
they are permitted to thoroughly
sweat in the barn. When the thresh-
ing machine comes be sure that the
concaves are low enough to prevent
the cracking of the beans. Then have
your machine man stay right by the
machine. 1t is then easily possible to
have the beans threshed properly
without splitting, and there is no need
Of having any trash as the beans come
from the machine.
always have my beans hand picked
near home. | find this very satisfac-
tory, as then | can use my Gull beans
II done under your eye the contractor
cannot find any fault, and everybody
will be better satisfied than If he picks
the beans on estimates.

POINTS TO REMEMBER.

Every farmers family should have
all the good fruit it can use the year
around.
There is no danger of OVERRIDING
fruit growing if the marketing facili-
ties are right
Always, before feeding, give horses
some water. After feeding they
should again be freely watered.
The condition of the highway in
front of farm has very much to do
with the appearance of the farm.
! Sunscald does not come in summer,
but comes in winter. Therefore, foli-
age does not protect from sunscald.
The man that tries to grow pears
should study pear blight in all its
phases; because that is the great OBJ.

WEEDS IN THE PASTURE.
Now Them Before They Have Chance
to Go to Seed.

& From this time on weeds will be in
evidence in the permaneVt pastures
as we'll as in the meadows The
weeds Of the permanent pasture are
mainly ragweed. dog fennel. iron
weed, and the different varieties Of
docks. AS we have pointed out for
some years, the main reason for their
existence, especially in the permanent
pasture. lies not in the fact that the
. Xeed seeds are abundant in all soil,
but that the stand of grass is not thick
enough to keep them down.
fOf course 1t is folly to allow these
seeds to increase by neglect to NOW
them. and, therefore, one of the first
after-harvest jobs is to take mower
End go over every pasture, whether
permanent or in rotation, and then go
over every stubble field that has been
seeded to clover and while clipping
back the clover and thus thickening it
up prevent the development of weed
seed.
The great point we wish to impress
upon our readers. however, is that the
reason why these weeds appear is be.
cause the stand of grass is deficient
We have seen permanent pastures
this year in which there is no sign of
weeds. These pastures are superb
Every available spot is filled with
grass roots, and there is feed enough
for two animals and only one to eat
it. This means long late fall pas
ture and fat stock.
How prevent this weed growth?
You can not do much now, says Wal
lace's Farmer. All you can do is
to keep these weeds moved down to
prevent further seeding. Then next
spring provide yourself with a good
disk drill and drill in clover and tim
othy just when the frost is going out
pf the ground. This will thicken up
your stand Of grass; thicken 1t up to
such an extent, If the land is rich
enough, as to double the pasture and
do away with the unsightly weeds
without the trouble of keeping them
moved down.
