Cooking Feed for Stock.

The invention of large ranch cookers
makes the task of cooking feed for
stock comparatively easy one and
since the advent of the shredder, the
corn stalks are all put in with the grains
and the whole mass cooked and fed to
stock Of all kinds. While some stock
men have been feeding the ripe stalks
in bulk and losing cattle from what
seems to be the corn stalk disease an
old Holland dutchman Of our acquaint-
ance living on the plains east of Den
yer has avoided all kinds Of trouble by
employing heat, the best bacteria de-
stroyer and disease preventive known.
Sweet corn, cut while young and ten
der, and stacked like hay in the sheds
along with alfalfa or other hay give q
splendid hange of food. Stock fed

not suffer from indigestion and we be-
lieve the cooking job is a pretty good
stunt. II anyone will go to the trouble
to find out he will discover that in for
eign countries and especially in Hol-
land, every COW. calf and pig must have
its proportion of cooked food which usu-
ally contains every scrap and scraping
that in America is thrown out to fer
ment and breed disease among both ami
mails and hnman beings. Although done
on n small scale there it does not take
long for the naturalzed citizen to dis
cover that stock in large herds, fed on
cooked food, thrive better than when
left to eat the grains raw and in the
parasitical state. Field and Farm.

Tests of Good Spraying
For the Cooling Moth.

Was your first spraying for the cod
ling moth done just right? II SO, it
was almost impossible for you to find q
worm hole in the blossom end (the
calyx) of your apples at picking time.
If calyx worms were common, your
first spraying, for some reason, was
largely failure. Perhaps the poison
was of poor quality, and you may have
used it in too small amount; but it is
far more likely that the spraying was
not thoroughly and properly done.
Perhaps the application was made too
early, before the blossoms were mostly
off, or too late, after the calyx cups
had closed; but it is more likely that
you were in too great hurry, used too
little material, and sprayed from the
ground, and SO failed to fill all the
calyx cups.
The one test of good work at the first
spraying is frequently to examine the
blossoms to make sure that all have
been filled with the spray.
To fill the calyx cups the spray nozzle
must be elevated above the trees for
the upper blossoms, which necessitates
the use of long spray rod and an ele-
waited platform upon which to stand,
unless the tree are very low.
The Colorado Agricultural College
has usually recommended q medium
coarse spray, but is now inclined to
favor as fine a spray as can be thrown
with sufficient force to make it carry
well in to the outer calyx cup. A
coarse spray requires more material
and increases the likelihood of accumu-
lating harmful amount of arsenic in
the soil.
The writer does not think that all
sprayings, after the calyx cups have
tightly closed are useless; but after
another year of experimentation and
observations upon this insect. / am
more strongly than ever of the opinion
that thorough spraying just after the
blossoms have fallen will do more than
all subsequent sprayings to prevent
wormy apples; and if the first spraying
for any reason is failure. later apph-
cations will not prevent a wormy crop
of fruit. c. p. GILLETTE,

lation, through increase both by birth
rate and foreign immigration, our sup
ply of beef cattle is declining and We
have lost 2, ,185, 731 cattle in the last
two fiscal years.
Not only are we falling behind in our
annual cattle census, but we are 20
drawing upon the future as to make
certain even greater deficiencies. The
reports of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry show that the cattle slaughtered
at the inspected plants have decreased
sos, 900, 1907 to 1909, and during the
same period the slaughter CT calves has
increased 231, ,913.
Such is the situation, and the most
alarming feature is that the small
farmers of the East and the West are
making no adequate effort to make
good the shortage caused by the pass
ing of the range industry. Unless the
beef formerly furnished by the ranges
is made up in some other way and from
some other field, this food product will
soar beyond the reach of the masses.

whether he lives in mountain valley, on
dry lands or in the new irrigated re-
gions. By using improved breeds OF
strictly beef cattle, and by feeding and
handling them under intensive condi-
tions, one acre of land can be made to
produce many times the pounds of beef
it grew under the old conditions.
The Chicago market is regularly TAX
ing all the western stuff and present
indications are that the growing de-
mand for cattle products will take care
of the normal increase for years to
come, and that low prices to the con-
sumner need not be feared by anyone
contemplating engaging in the industry.

An Industry for
the Western Farmer.

The cattle are gone from eastern
Colorado and are fast disappearing
from the great ranges of Montana.
Three years ago the cattle and sheep
men were in undisplted possession of
eastern New Mexico. Today the home
stead shack is seen all over the vast
region. and the fencing of occasional
claims has forced the grazing interests
to abdicate.
West Texas has been considered the
stronghold Of cattle and one of the
chief points of beef supply of the West.
Here, also, the settler is rapidly COM
ing in, and great estates Of from 200
to 800 sections of land, long leased from

Midland, Texas, which is located in the
southern end of the Great Staked Plains
and for years have had nothing else but

sixty per cent homestead ownership.
The same movement is beginning to in

The abandonment Of the western
range has resulted in two years de-

Fiue Thousand Bags
of Sugar Are Free.

Grand Junction, Colo. Nov. S.-Five
thousand miniture bags of beet sugar
have been put up at the local sugar
factory and will be sent to Chicago as
part of the Grand Junction exhibit at
the Land and Irrigation congress. The
sixty or more stages in the process of
making beet sugar, from the beet seed
to the finished product, will also be on
display, and it is expected it will be one
of the most unique as well as instruc-
tive exhibits at the exposition.
As Grand Junction boasts of having
been the first city in the state to have
a sugar factory. and is still the only
one on the Western Slope, it is fairly
appropriate that as part of her exhibit
she should exploit the interesting and
comparatively unknown details of the
production of sugar.
Specimens of the beet in various
stages of its growth and in process of
conversion into sugar. will be shown,
and finally, Grand Junction fruit pre-
served in Grand Junction sugar. The
little bags will be given away as SOU
venirs.

The Commercial Congress.


The session of the Commercial Con-
gress at Grand junction Wednesday
and Thursday proved an interesting and
important one. The following News
announced program was carried out in
an interesting manner.
Senator Frank J. Cannon has wired
The Daily News that he will arrive in
the city on Tuesday evening, November
9, ready for the Western Slope De-
velopment congress which meets here
on Wednesday and Thursday of this
week. Mr. Cannon is vitally interested
in some of the issues that are to be
taken up at this session of the congress
and he is well versed in them. In his
paper, The Denver Times, he is urging
a campaign for just freight rates and
as this will be one of the issues of the
congress he will be able to enlighten
the delegates on the subject.
The rate question is taken up in a
way by this congress that meets the
approval of the railroad officials. The
railroads have been asked to send reg
resentatives and y number of them viii
do 90. The rate question is to be
discussed with them in business like
manner.
| A number of delegates will arrive in
the city on Tuesday evening and the
balance of them will come early We'd
nesday morning. Due to the irregu-
larity of the train service and connec-
tions that many must make to reach
the city the program for the congress
has not been prepared in full. 1t will
be finished Monday.
The first days session will open at 8
O'Clock Wednesday morning. The ses-
sions are to be held in the Majestic
theater. 1t has been urged that all the
business men of the city who possibly
can be present at the different sessions
and especially on Wednesday as the
freight rate question will be discussed.
This will be the principal topic for that
day. Some of the speakers on this sub
ject ard for the session on Wednesday
are Mr.. Frank ]. Cannon, Governor
Shafroth and j. F. Kyle of Montrose.
The second day will be principally de-
voted to questions of interest to stock
men and large number of prominent
speakers will deliver addresses Con-
servation will be one of the main sub
jects On this day Merle ID. Vincent of
Paonia. Congressman Ed Taylor, Sena-
tor Hughes, Congressman Martin and
B. l.. jefferson of Routt county and
register of the state land board once
will be on the program.
Among other speakers for the TIVE
days will be President Lory of the
state agricultural college. state super
intendent of schools, Katherine Cook,
l.. C. Carpenter, j. B. Killian, Cover
nor Spry of Utah. James A. Becker of
Paradox, Senator Ebberts of Montezu-
ma county, Barton w. Marsh, Judge
King and S. G. McMullin. The north
and south railroad question will be
taken up by a number of these speakers
and others who are on the program. s.

Normal Institute.

The annual session Of the Ford county
Normal Institute will be held at Dodge
City beginning on Monday, June 9TH.
All the teachers Of Ford county, and
all those who expect to become teachers
are cordially invited to be present on the
very first day Of the session. Do not
wait for week before you enroll. The
organization is fairly completed now,
and the work will be as effective at the
be ginning as on the last day.
The daily program will'..be found in
the back part of the Institute announce
ment, which will be sent out about May
18th.
As large part of our teaching force
is recruited from the ranks of the be-.
ginner or those who have had but little
experience, an effort will be made to
direct the instruction SO as to be the
greatest good to this class Of teachers.
We would suggest that the teacher limit
himself to five subjects, that the number
of classes may be reduced to the mini

structiOn.
In circular letter from the state
superintendent he has intimated that the
examination In Physics will be even
more elementary than it has been in the
past. This has been done In the hope
that more emphasis may be placed upon
the important subject Of English Liter
AZURE. A teacher who lacks a speaking
acquaintance with the best writers Of our
language can not be real success In the
schoolroom. A fairly extensive know
ledge of literature Is necessary to teach
reading with any degree of success.
Therefore we think 1t would be better to
give a little less attention to bare and
lifeless facts, and bestow greater thought
on the problems Of life, Its beauties and
possibilities, and on human nature and
on human action as revealed to us In
literature.
The following classics will be used at
the Institute: Hiawatha. Snow.Bound,
