are ready for the product. The
one thing lacking for complete
reclamation of the soil is farmers.
They are coming. however. and
none leaving.
The cantaloupe industry of the
Rocky Ford district and of the
other counties of the valley, is de-
manding more growers. as the de-
mand for melons increases. The

need rotation. The farms cannot
be devoted to melons and beets.
wholly. and. to keep up demands.
more producers are needed. The
money is in the country at large
to pay for the products.
Alfalfa Mills Caase Demand
The alfalfa mills are demanding
more alfalfa to grind into feed.
and more growers of alfalfa are
needed. The demand for dairy
products In this section far exceeds
the supply. and right at the doors
of these three counties. Pueblo is
sending daily to eastern states
more money for butter. eggs and
poultry than is spent daily in
Pueblo from the payrolls of the
big steel works and smeiters there.
The demand and means of procur
ing these foodstuffs are in the
valley. and the farmers are coming.
The returns have justified thOus-
ands in leaving the middle west
ern states. making homes here and
farming intensively the irrigated
lands. and none would go back.
In Prowers and Bent counties.
and in Otero county also. new IT.
rigation projects are building. and
the lands under them find ready
buyers. Owners of former cattle
ranches, which have been put un-
der water. are dividing them In
to small farms. and more money
is coming. The rest of the conn
try is demanding the products OF
the Arkansas valley-demands the
sugar. the melon and the hay. and
Is willing to pay for them.

Every COW has two Limits: She
can eat only a certain amount:
she can turn only a certain amount
OF the food which she eats into
keeping up energy and producing
milk. IL the ration is raised too
rapidly more food is often given
than her digestive system can
take care of. Not only Ia there a
big waste. but the organs of diges-
ton are burned out and the COW
is ruined.
Yet there must be enough of the
feed to provide proper nourish-
ment. Sixty per cent of all the
food eaten is used up In ''runni ng'
the cows body. II only so per
cent of the food that the COW can
consume Is fed. the owner has no
right to expect any milk. II he
gives her 10 per cent he can expect
a little milk. If he gives her 80
per cent or 95 per cent Of the food
she can take care Of he will get
every ounce OF milk and butterfat
out Of a COW that she can by ma
ture produce.
To find out this Limit of the
cows capacity where no feed Is
wasted. but every ounce OF 1t count
in producing milk and butter. raise
the ration gradually. Never add
more than a half or three-Quarters
Of q pound. and raise 1t not more
often than every other day. Care
fully note each days output. When
the COW ceases to yield an increas-
ed flow OF milk when more feed
II given, reduce the amount of ra-
ton in the same gradual way. It
will be found that the milk output
will again increase until q pound
or q pound and a half have been
taken away. The COW has now
been brought up to her highest lev
Ell of production. large or small.
according OF the cows merit. Most
OF the fat stored up In the body
has been converted into milk and
butterfat. and she is again In ddeal
dairy form. II this is not the case.
It can be pretty safely decided that
she 10 an Improbable cow.
The quantity OF feed which wtll
yield the most milk has also been
determined. This amount OF feed.

can probably be given the
COW throughout the year.

How to Raise the Cow To Her
Largest MILK Output

Now begins the years work of
milk and butter production. The
first thirty days are important Up
on the results accomplished during
this time depends largely the vol
ume of the cows yearly yield. If
her milk flow lis allowed to unger
around 20 or 80 pounds during
those thirty days. ii is almost i'm
possible to ever get her past that
mark; but If the SO or 75 pound
mark is reached. it is not difficult
to keep her above the 30 pound
mark for at least six months or for
a whole year.
1t is cows nature TO yield
milk for her calf for thirty days
after Its birth. She is. therefore.
in such condition that she res
ponds most easily and naturally I
the efforts to stimulate her milk
production.
Two or three days after the calf
is weaned the COW should be chang
ed from bran mash to more solid
food containing more protein. Pro-
TEN more than any other nutrient
stimulates the milk secreting
glands to activity. II is provided
by adopting a daily ration of about
five pounds of a grain mixture con-
sisting of bran. oil meal. gluten
feed or cottonseed meal in oonnec-
ton with grass If it be summer. or
corn silage. alfalfa or clover hay
n grass IL not dn season.
Care must be taken not to feed
too largely of corn or other feed
rich In carbohydrates. The COW is
apt to convert her food into fat
and distribute 1t over her body
instead of converting It into milk
and butterfat.
Full thirty days should be taken
in bringing the COW to full feed.
Many dairymen have made the mis-
take of putting their cows on full
feed as soon as they freshen. For
the first week or two there is a
large milk flow. but good results
are never secured in the long run
from this method. II the COW
does not sicken or go off her feed
entirely her digestive apparatus is
weakened. SO that in a short time
she refuses to eat heartily and rap
Idly declines In her milk flow.

When 1 arrived In Holly. Prov

tai capital consisted of a team or

go with a thoroughly modern farm.
have made sugar beets and al
falfa my principal crops. but have
also been very successful with small.
grain and cantaloupes. My beets
have always averaged me gross re-
turns of from SIS to 500 per
acre, while the cost of raising and
delivering the crop has bean about
SIS per acre. The beet tops are
also worth SIS an acre. This
leaves me q very neat profit on this
crop alone.
Last year l made four cuts of
alfalfa, which averaged six tons per
acre. / received for my entire
crop 81 per ton in the stack. The
entire cost for raising and harvest
ing the crop for the year was ~
per acre.
have found cantaloupes to be
a good crop to mix in. as / get re-
turns from them before my beets
are harvested. Last year this crop
netted me SIPS per acre. and al
ways have made from $50 to SITS
per acre on them.
For two years I have fed 500
head of sheep and owing to the
abundance of cheap feed which we
have in this country. l have found
this industry very profitable. My
sheep have netted me. after pay
ing freight and commission. $50
per head.
Hogs are also very profitable and
/ am going Into this business on
a large scale. They can be kept on
a few acres of alfalfa and fattened
very cheaply on sugar beets. This
feed makes q fine solid meat.
