Il. Get it into the ground as easrly
in the spring as climatic conditions
will permit
2. Seed ten per cent. more to the

much larger
3. Practice summer tillage upon
the ground you expect to seed to

serve the moisture

bushels to the acre as a crop yield.

the highest yield reported in Colorado
is 4S bushels The lowest yield which
have ever known in Colorado is 10

GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Corn meal fed with raw pumpkins
furnishes satisfactory ration for fat
tening hogs.
Begin now to feed the nubbins and

If the cows do not give their milk

gently.
Neatness in all departments of the

Get the best appliances you can for
the dairy, but remember that the best
machinery ever made requires gump-

makes a good bulky food and helps to
keep the hogs in good growing condi-

Feed is too expensive to use spar

a mere subsistence ration. It is what
you feed above that that really makes

The Michigan man told him he had
better leave the giraffe out of his
repertoire because giraffe was
mighty uncertain, but the cowboy got
the saddle on, and climbed into it, and
then the trouble began.
The giraffe didn't have any bride
on, and no name to hold on to, and he
was built so that the saddle slipped
down by his rump, and when the ami
NAL turned around and saw he had
the cowboy where he wanted him,
he started off towards the forest
on a hop, skip and jump, kicking
up his heels like bucking broncho,
and the last we saw of the expedition
the giraffe was jumping over a wire
fence and took to the woods, with
the cowboy dangling by one stirrup,
swearing in the Wyoming dialect.
Then we went back to the house to
play golf, and the Michigan man sent
some servants into the woods with
a stretcher to bring in the remains of
the cowboy.
