A dairy COW should have a good
width at the hips.
A good dairy COW possesses rather

jecting shoulder.
With good calf meal. sweet. warm
separator milk and alfalfa. how the
dairy calves will grow.
One of the greatest needs on the
average dairy farm at present is q
better class of herd bulls.

bull Is In the same class as the fel-

The only way to dry a COW up is
TO STOP mixing ner and 10 take away
the larger portion OF her feed.
Some cows are born great. but they
fall into the hands of such small men
that the world never hears OF them.

ENORMOUS LOSS OF WATER
Not Enough Consideration is Given to
Length Of Furrows-Ciirnate
Is Also Factor.

The care in which land is prepared
for irrigation and methods of applying
water bear directly upon the results
obtained. Wherever the furrow sys-
TEN is used, the length of the burrows
is a matter to which not enough con-
sideration has been given. and the
farmer who attempts to run the water
eighty rods In this dry country viii
under otherwise similar conditions get
a very much lower duty than his
neighbor who makes his burrows only
half as long. Eighty rods Is not an
infrequent length in alfalfa fields. but
better results with less water would
be obtained If twenty rods were the
limit and in some places where the
soil is sandy. with underlying gravel
this is too far apart for head bitches
and 1t would be wiser to make the fur
rows only about $50 feet long.
The climate and the length of the
irrigating season also affect the duty
of water. In Color.lo the period du-
ring which water Is coplied to the land
is about one hundred days and with
very little rainfall srd high tempera-
lhc NhPcAathoAA 'O~SSS
from the surface of irrigated fields is
something enormous. Any methods OF
application or cultivation which may
effectually reduce such losses would
result in a much higher duty for the
water. Poorly constructed or fll-kept
canals and laterals also have much to
do with what may be accomplished
with water and the highways are get
ting altogether too much OF 1t. The
low general duty under many of our
irrigation systems is due largely to the
losses which occur in getting the wa
ter from the river to the land.
In this way 1t becomes necessary to
take from the river or from the canals.
as the case may be. great deal more
water than would be required other
wise. This excess water sinks away
into the earth and disappears or. per
colating down through underground
passages. finally reaches the lower
lands or bottoms bordering the river
and here accumlates to form swamps
and alkali wastes such as We see all
over Colorado nowadays. The state
ment is often made that this water
lost from canals or wasted by careless
irrigation in the upper parts of val
ley finds its way back to the river to
be used further down and that in this
way such low lands and gravel bars
act as reservoirs. The subsoii and
bottom lands certainly have a capacity
for an immense amount of water and
