Prof. Morton's Lecture
In the stock pavilion, which IS a '
eat, well-warmed affair, with a saw j.
ust moor and seats all around, Pro g
assor Morton lectured on Hogs and O
,airy Cattle for the hour between v
:: 80 and 1890. Prefacing his re- o
,arks with the statement that Colo $
ado is an ideal hog raising state, he e
rent into the matter OF feeding in {
etail and gave it as his opinion that u
alifornia barley and wheat, in the v
roportion OF two-thirds barley and e
ne-third wheat, makes the best ra .
ion for putting on fat Sugar beets |
re the most costly ration, and II .
lsed at all should not be in greater
proportion than one to four. Barley
md shorts in com bination are good.
Wheat alone makes soft flesh,
rhile barley produces firm, solid ,
leat and lard. Because OF its great
r yield per acre, California feed ,
arley is preferable to brewers bar ,,
" The fat and flesh making quail
les are equal. A bunch of the col I.
,ge swine we're driven into the pa ..
illion and their good and weak
oints pointed out. Asked why sug- d.
r beets we're not considered good for
,ediuE swine, he stated that IT is be-
ause the stomach of a hog is so
nall and the sugar beets so bulky,
'at the hog literally cannot hold ,
nough 10 make him fat. 1t is pos ,
BILE to run stock hogs through the
inter on beets and keep them in
ood shape, but they will not gain in
esh.
Dairy Cows
Speaking OF COWS, be made the ,
tatement that dairy COWS were more
rotitable than any other, but that

DR.. Newsom told an interested
lass about the care of horses teeth.
md illustrated his talk with a trio
Il horse skeletons, and divers horse
eeth and tools of the trade. Horse
lentistry Is becoming more and more
part of the necessary knowledge
y every farmer and stockman. They
lave not come to the point of maxi |
ng store teeth for horses, but they .
10 most everything else, even in some .
ases filling defective teeth.
There are many persons who do (
lot know that horses teeth do not
push down from the |
avs as they are worn from chew
ns. until in an old horse there is
no teeth left, only a lit
lie short affair that can be pushed
mt of the mouth with any sort of a
rod. The grinders make the most
YOuble and are also most important
