AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
Directed by Colorado Agricultural College

The U. 5. Department of Agri-
culture is doing much towards as
sisting the farmers of Colorado in
various phases of the farming in
dustry
The State Agricultural College is
aid to the husbandmen of the State.
both practically and scientifically
Perhaps the most direct and substan-
tial benefit derived by the peop'e of
the state from the Agricultural Col
lego is the result of the extention
work conducted by the department of
Farmers Institutes. through and by
means of which the farmers receive
( expert advice as to the best methods
of farm practice, which, under Colo
RADIO conditions of soil, climate, and
both irrigated and non-irrigated ag-
riculture, means the advancement of
the States largest industry and most
prolific source of future prosperity.
Among the States most depend
able resources are the boys and
girls that are being educated in the
practicai pursuits and professions of
life at this most useful institution.
the crowning asset of which is the
province bequeathed 20 it by the pro-
cepted under the seal of the State of
COLORADO. of training the youth of
he commonwealth in the industries
most clearly related to agricu' ture,
mechanic arts, and home economies.
The State is to receive further
impetus from the combined efforts
of the National Government and the
Agricultural College. The dairy in
dustry has already profited by the
close attention given TO it by the U.
s. Department of Agriculture and
now. in cooperation with the Agri
cultural College. another specialist
in the subject is to he employed who
will give his entire time to the in
vesugation and improvement of the
industry. with headquarters at the
Agricultural College.
The subject of road building is al
50 to receive the aid and co-opera-
ton of the Government and the
Agricultural College. A Government
expert in road building will make
his headquarters at the College, upon
the grounds of which model
stretch of road building will serve
to encourage the construction of
good roads. In conjunction with the
College, this road advice and i'm
provemcnt will be extended to diff
ferent portions of the State.
The only expense that the State
of Colorado will have to bear. in
return for this proffcred service. is
the small sum necessary for dairy
and milk testing apparatus. the few
tools and the machinery required
in road building being on hand at

LAYING PULLETS

Every farmer in Colorado should
have 200 bright, hustling, laying
pullets next winter when eggs are
bringing fifty cents a dozen. This
means Matching six or eight hundred
chix. which should be done not
later than this month; earlier would
be better for the large breeds.
They should be kept free from
lice, be given plenty of grain and
milk; exercise and vegetable food
viii. be beneficial If they have the
run of the farm, and you need not be
afraid of over feeding If the grain
is scattered in straw or loose earth.
Keep the coops clean and sweet.
they are large enough to eat; they
will taste better then, bring more
on the market than later. and make
more room for the growing pullets
Begin next month, and, during the
summer Gull out the old hens, re-
serving only such of the yearlings
as have proven good producers; the
old roosters should go just as soon
as you are through Matching unless
you need their company. This thin
ming out means more room and bet

weaklings die; mark the slow grow
ing pullets and sell them with the
cockerels. During October make a

POOR MILK.

There is no article of food so gen.
grave as milk. In this we are ali
agreed that it may be good, bad, or
indifferent. and the meagre intelli-
gence, or shall we say instinct, of the
infant is equal to the task of differ
entiating one quality of milk from
another. But the children of a larger
growth are generally ignorant of the
conditions which enter Into one
phase of the production of inferior
milk.
What / refer to is the common
mistake in believing that the qua ity
of milk is determined largely by the
nature Of the food that the COW eats.
One of the stock arguments used
in Denver against the feeding Of
brewers malt to dairy COWS was that
it produced a poor quality of milk.
The same argument has been used in
the case of beet pulp. This is a mis-
take. Each COW is physiological
unit in the production of milk con-
stituents. when in a healthy condi-
ton. The quantity of mi varies
greatly according to the kind and
amount of feed consumed, butt the
quality remains uniform with re-
markable persistency.
If the COW is sick or starved, and
the body functions abnormal, then it
may be different 1t is a fact of
much interest, as we'll as of economic
importance, that the COW under all
sorts of adverse conditions will per-
sistent'y adhere to her standard in
the relative proportion of milk con-
stituents.
The flavor of milk will vary ac-
cording to the feed and other things.
The milk may be red or blue in color
and the cream may be ropy; it may
sour quickly and many things may
happen to it because of the presence
of bacteria-when cans and bottles
are not sterilized, and the mixer is
careless; but the same amount of
cream, casein, milk sugar and other
constituents are there, quart for
quart, providing the COW is healthy
and the milkman has not SKINNED
it down to three per cent-or more.
There Is great difference in the
quality of milk in individual cows,
as we'll as in breeds. Samples of
milk from certain COW were
brought to the Veterinary Depart
ment OF the Colorado Agricultural
College for analysis. The complaint
was that there was no cream on the
milk. Analysis of each sample re-
vealed about two per cent butter fat.
The COW has been examined and
found healthy. The feed has been
changed. but the milk remains poor
She is that kind of COW.

THE ASPARAGUS BED

When we see our neighbor pick
ing strawberries we say, Next year
1 am going to have a strawberry
the plants. we have forgotten all
about it or we are busy with some
thing else, so do not think of it till
next strawberry time.
Asparagus is now selling on the
market for IS cents a pound, and
there is still time to set bed this
year. There is no crop that can be
grown in this climate that will give
bigger returns from the garden in
food or satisfaction than the as
paragus bed. No vegetable requires
less care after it is once started.
If you are planning to make a
led, remember that it is to last for
an indefinite time. Put it next to
the fence, or in some place where
it will not be necessary to plow or
where it will! not be disturbed in
ether ways.
The bed may be started either by
sowing the seed or by setting plants
from a nursery, or from an old bed
If seed are sown, they must be
grown one or two years in the nurs-
cry row before setting in the per-
manent bed. Too much care can
not be given to the preparation of
the land before setting. First, de
termine the amount of land to be
set. For an ordinary family one
row from twenty-five to fifty feet
long will be ample. The soil shoul1
mixed with it a heavy coat of well
decomposed stable manure. After
the soil is thoroughly pulverized,
make a trench not less than six
inches deep, in which to set the
| plants. 1t is important that the
plants be set deeply or the roots will
be injured when the cutting is done
The plants should be set from eight
teen inches to two feet apart in the
row. If more than one row is set.
the rows should be five feet apart.
Cover the plants with from one to
two inches of fine soil, and after the
tops get above the ground. cultivate
in gradually until the trench is filled
to the surface. Cultivate frequently
during the season. No grass should
be cut the first or second year. After
that it may be cut from early spring
until June or July; then the tops
must be allowed to grow during the
remainder of the season to store up
plant food -for.iahc next years crop.
After frost comes the tops should be
mown off and burned and heavy
coat of manure applied to the bed
to protect the plants and to supply
the needed fertility to the soil. Re-
member the asparagus plant is a
voracious feeder, and the more fer
tilizer applied the more and bigger
stems may be cut from the bed.

MORE SOIL SURVEYS
y. 5. Bureau Of Soils to do More
Work in Georgia
MAKE Fine COUNTY MAPS
Surveys IN Bullock and Sumter Counties
Are Now Being Made BY The
Government.

Washington, D. C--The bureau OF
soils of the United States department
OF agriculture has begun the win
ter's work in the state of Georgia
with soil surveys Of Bulloch and
Sumter counties.
With the reorganization OF agricul-
tural high schools in each congress
sional district, there has been con-
siderable demand for soil survey work
In Georgia and the examination OF
soils in the sections In which these
agricultural nigh schools are located.
For this reason BulIoch county, in
the first district, and Sumter county,
in the third district, were selected
for the seasons work.
In Bulloch county, G, N. Mooney
has charge of the soil survey, assist
ed at present by w. c. Byers. Owing
to the large size Of the county, two
additional men from the soil survey
force will be sent to assist Mr.. Moo
ney, and the survey completed at an
early date in 1910.
j. G. Britton, who was formerly con-
nected with the Agricultural High
School at Americas, Ca, mas charge
of the soil survey in Sumter county,
being assigned to this work on ac-
count of his familiarity with the soils
and agriculture OF that section. He
is assisted by Mr. WEIGH and the
party has its headquarters at Ameri-
Gus during the progress OF the sur
vey.
The soil surveys give an excellent
county map in each case, upon which
is shown In cOlOrs the extent and To-
cations OF the different kinds OF land
In each county. The map is also ac~
companied by report on the conci-
ton Of agriculture and the particular
uses to which each soil in the county
may best be put The report also
discusses present methods OF farm
ing and the possibility OF improving
these methods. 1t gives an account
of the origin Of the soils, the charac-
teristics Of each. the nature OF the
climate, market facilities OF the re-
gion, and, in fact, constitutes an Of
fetal certificate OF the character OF
the land and the progress OF agricul-
lures in each OF the Localities where
a soil survey is made.
1t lis the purpose OF the bureau OF
soils to continue soil survey work in
Georgia until good soil map has
been made OF each OF the counties in
which the agricultural high schools
are located. Working from these az
central points they will gradually
complete the soil survey OF the state.
These surveys ia connection with the
work Of agricultural high schools,
will give the young farmers in Geor-
gia an opportunity to apply directly
&C home the lessons learned in tneir
agricultural school course concerning
soils, crops and fertilizers and the
best methods for soil management to
produce profitable and abundant
crops.
