DAIRY NOTES.

A good milk COW never becomes

Salt regularly twice a week is bet

Cool the cream as soon as possible

COW Is a hard keeper.
The best thing for any dairying To-

associations.
One of the best indications OF q
good milk COW is the large and tortu-
GUS milk veins.

Small Horse Costs More.

Many farmers believe the upkeep Of
a small horse doing the work OF a
draft horse is less than that OF the
heavier one. Experiments have shown
that smaller horse will. in year,
consume as much feed as the heavier
one. At the same time the work will
tell more heavily upon him.

GOV. SHAFR0Th'S MESSAGE
TO the eighteenth GENERAL ASSEMBLY RE.
CONCENTRATIONS ARE MADE FOR NEW
LAWS AND CHANGES IN OLD ONES

Governor John F. Shafroth delivered
his biennial address before a joint ses-
sion Of the senate and the house of rep
resentatives. which convened at / 80
o'clock, January s, in the house of rep
resentatives. He said in part:
THE state of Colorado during the
past two years has experienced q de-
gree of substantial growth in popula-
ton and wealth. which has never been
equalled in its entire history. The last
census taken by the United States gov
ernment gives an Increase in its popu-
lation over that of 1900 of 10000, or
2S,eO0 per annum. Increases in agri-
cultural and horticultural crops have
been enormous, while the state still
holds the record of producing more
minerals than any other state in the
Union. The estimate of the total
wealth of the state of Colorado Is
placed at the enormous figure of 1l,-
500. 600, 900.
Two years ago the General Assem-
found that the various institutions
OF this state had been neglected to
such an extent that 1t was imperatively
necessary to make large appropriations

Ihaie Last heps 6ens.

When the minister praised the rasp-
berry jam at Mrs. Green's bountiful
Saturday night supper. he could not
imagine why Angle and Horatio. the
twins. gazed At him SO reproachfully.
Don't you like raspberry jam. my lit
tie man." he asked Horatio.
Yes. sir. l do" and Angle does"
said Horatio. In distinctly resentful
tones. ''and mother told Us that she
vas afraid the last she made wasn't
quite up to the mark. and II you didn't
praise 1t, Angle and could have 1t for
luncheon on our bread. for Mrs. Willis
and Mrs. Shedd never said word
when they ate 1t. and you've made the
third: but now she'll use 1t for the
church sociables." and Horatio looked
gloomily at his twin. who returned the
look In kind.-Youth's Companion.

Would Regulate Voting.

A bill introduced by Senator Skin
ner affects the methods of voting at
state elections. 1t repeals all other
acts on this subject. and provides that
all devices for voting for more than
one candidate by a single mark be pro-
hibited. There are special provisions
for the use of voting machines.
Senator Skinner has two other bills,
one calling for an appropriation of
$97,2OO for the use of the Colorado
School for Deaf and Blind for the fis-
cal years of 1911 and 1912.

Gently without issue at the age Of
twenty-four.
AS late a. 1877 what 10 now known
to have been the last nesting place
of these wild birds was found in the
state Of Michigan. where their nests
thickly covered the trees over an
area 20 miles long and four miles
wide. Residents of New York declare
that in 1850 they flocked over Manhat-
tan Island in such numbers that they
obscured the sun and that ships load
ed in bulk with the bodies of these
birds lay at the wharves selling them
at cent apiece. Audubon is quoted
as observing roosting place of wild
pigeons In Kentucky early in the last
century that extended 40 miles and
was three miles in width. On its
edges men with guns, nets. clubs and
torches slaughtered tho roosting
birds. each often bagging 500 in ono
day.
Declaring that practically all the
gulls and terms In America today have
survived solely through the work Of
protection and restoration at their
reservations. leaders Of the National
Association Of Audubon societies are
now appealing to the people Of this
country to support the work of pre-
serving dying species Of native birds
which they have already begun The
Upland Plover. Cabots Tern and the
Least Tern. they assert can now be
saved to the nation by quick emergen-
cy measures for which specia. funds
are to be raised.

PopuIarizinQ the Potato.

Paris.-When potatoes were intro
duced into France the natives had
been told they were poisonous and
that 1t was death to partake of them.
To overcome this prejudice Par,
mentier gave big banquet in Paris
at which every dish was made from
potatoes. There were 16 courses in
which potatoes played the major or
minor part. Even the brandy and
liquors were the product of this vege-
