IRRIGATION TO BE FEATURE
Actual Laboratory Practice VIII Be
Given During Farmers Week at
Colorado Agricultural College.

Actual laboratory practice in irri-
cation work will be given as a feature
Of the farmers week program at the
agricultural college, this year, for the
first time, according to the Fort Lup-
ton Press. This Is made possible by
the completion and equipment Of the
new irrigation building. This building
Is unique from the fact that it is the
only building in the United States
constructed and equipped exclusively
for irrigation engineering.
The development of irrigation by
pumping in this state promises to be
OF more importance in the future than
any other phase of the irrigation prob
lem. Pump work will be taken up in
the irrigation laboratory and the diff
ferent kinds Of pumps, their construc-
ton, cost, efficiency, and operation
will be demonstrated. All this work
will actually be done by the farmers
themselves, who will learn to do by
doing.
The construction of the different
kinds Of standard weirs, and their op-
Grafton, will be demonstrated in the
same way.
Each year water becomes more val
liable to Colorado, and its accurate
measurement more important. For
this reason attention will be given to
water meters and their use
The much vexed question of the re-
lation of the miners inch" to the
secondfoot and the acre-foot will be
made plain.
The development of irrigation in
mountain regions requires economical
and efficient fumes. Flume work will
be demonstrated in the laboratory
with f1rst-class equipment. Pipe work
will also receive It's share of atten-
ton.
To insure the success Of all these
lines of work prominent manufactur-
ers Of irrigation machinery are donat-
ing equipment to supplement that reg
ularly used by the irrigation depart
ment of the Colorado Agricultural col
lege. A special corps Of assistants
has been employed to assist the farm
ers in the operation Of this equip
ment.

The old man had given his son @
very fair education, and had taken
him into his shop. The young fellow
was over-nice about a great many
things, but the father made no COM
ment. One day an order came in
from a customer.

son, that Gibson would learn TO-

What's the matter with it?" In
quired the father, cheerfully.
why, he spells coffee with TX. :"
"No-does he? I never noticed 1t. :"
"Of course you never did," said the
son, pettishly. "You never notice any
thing like that"
Perhaps not, my son." replied the
old man, gently; "but there is one
thing l do notice, which you will
learn by and by, and that is that Glib
son pays cash."

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Corn silage is a cheaper feed than
corn fodder.
The average butchered trade re.
quires lambs from 60 to 80 pounds.
AS a rule, the best time to sell the
lambs is when they are in good shape.
The feed is an important factor in
getting the SOW into desirable condi-
ton.
A farmer who owns a herd of scrub
hogs seldom needs any other corn-crib
than his hogs.
The gelding has mighty little place
on a well-conducted stock farm. He
is good for work only.
To furnish the nourishment which
the SOW needs corn will, in most cases,
furnish the basis of the ration.
Breeding the mares to foal at diff
ferent times will insure plenty of
workable horsefesh at all times
A lamb should not weigh over 100
pounds. If it does, it may be classed
as a yearling and the price reduced.
One thing is sure, that the scrub
hog can consume more valuable feed
and give less return than any other
animal that we know OF.
Upon the sow's care and manage
ment during the latter part of preg-
nancy, largely depends the probable
success or failure in farrowing.
There is no standard Of excellence
for the scrub-hog, since he may pos
sess almost any form except a beau
tiful one; he may be Of any color.
There is no feed like the green
grasses of the pastures to tone up the
system of the aged stock and put the
Young stock in a condition of thrift
and growth.
Alfalfa and clover hay are rich in
the nutrients that build up muscle,
while corn is poor in them7-but rich
in the fat and heat producing nutri-
ents. Fed together they form a bal
anced food.
A pair of colts four years old that
will weigh 1900 to 1850 pounds, and
serviceably sound, as the western
horse dealers say (for there is not one
in a hundred that comes from the
west that is sound and smooth) will
bring from $500 to $500; pair of
steers. or two good COWS, that would
cost nearly or quite as much to raise
would bring perhaps e126.

PLANT STRAWBERRIES
Every Farmers Garden Should
Contain Small Patch.
irrigation Should Be Given Often
Enough to Keep the Soil Moist
at All TImes-Few Successful
Varieties Are Mentioned.

(By PROF. B. o. LONGYEAR, Colorado
Agricultural College)
This is the time to set out that
strawberry patch which every farm
er's garden should contain. Three rows
Is feet long ought to furnish all that
an average sized household requires
and have some left over for canning,
preserving or giving to the neighbors
who have neglected the matter.
Select as good soil as the garden
possesses and plow under deeply a
liberal dressing Of well-rotted manure.
Harrow down thoroughly and if very
uneven go over the ground with some
kind Of leveling implement. Run small
burrows three to three and one-half
feet apart. Set the plants in the side
of these burrows, using a spade to
open the soil and the foot to press 1t
against the roots. Most varieties may
be set Is to 18 inches apart in the
row, although for those that make
numerous runners, as the Dunlap, 20
inches to two feet is often close
enough.
1t is well to run stream of water
In the trenches just behind the plant
er or as soon after planting as pos
sible
Irrigation should be given often
enough to keep the soil moist at all
times. In small garden plat 1t is
often possible to fill the trenches with
dry sell few hours after irrigation
and thus check evaporation. Keep
the soil well cultivated between the
rows and hoe or pull all weeds in the
row.
The first runners should be allowed
to root in the row so as to fill up be-
tween the plants. Covering the tips
with little soil when they are fully
developed will often assist roofing. AS
the season advances the runners may
be allowed to spread out more, but
there should be some space between
the rows preserved for running a mar
row cultivator or wheel hoe.
At the end Of the growing season
one should have matted rows Is
inches wide. The following varieties
are largely grown in this state for
market and most of them are also de-
sirable for home use:
Bederwood, an early, very suitable
berry of vigorous growth. A little
soft for shipping.
Jucunda, medium late variety suit
able for moist soils. Berry large and
of good quality. The favorite variety
grown near Denver.
Captain Jack, vigorous, stocky
plant, which produces well as a me-
dium early variety.
- Senator Dunlap, an excellent medi-
um early variety which produces run
ners freely. The fruit is of excellent
quality, but does not hold it's size as
late as some.
Ridgeway, a mid-season variety Of
vigorous habit and good productive
ness. The fruit is large, but rather
tender for market.
Numerous other varieties are grown
in Colorado with more or less success,
but the list Is too long to give here
For the home garden almost any of
the above mentioned, If given good
care, should be found successful.

Poor Tom.

A very youthful and entirely un-
known musical composer read some
verses by the renowned Thomas Moore
which he liked very much. Forthwith
the buzz of inspiration circulated
through his brain, and the next thing
he knew he had evolved tune which
went right prettily with the words Of
the Irish poet. Much elated, the very
youthful composer took the product to
a publisher of popular songs and sang
it to him. The publisher shook his
head.
"The music's all right" he opined,
"but the words are bum"

If matches with your eggs have been
poor try to think whether the old
birds were in good condition all last
winter. That often largely controls
the Matching of eggs and the stamina
of the chicks that may be hatched.
For the good of future generations Of
chickens, keep the old birds In a
thrifty condition the year round. A
chicks constitution is made before
the egg that matches 1t is laid. Any
handicap that the chick may start
with will be recovered from very
