Pueblo.-The issue placed before the
by both speakers and candidates was
the reputation of corporate influence.
1t arose in connection with the seat
ing of the regular Denver delegation
over the protest of the Arnold-Pattor-
son faction and was perpetuated as
an Issue in the primaries by the with
drawal of Thomas lyman. warden of
the Gtate penitentiary, from the race
for the assembly nomination for gov
ernor on the ground that the body had
contravened national progressive prin-
ciplcs.
All day the question was impressed
upon the gathering until. at nearly
O'Clock, a row came when the reg
ular Denver machine delegation was
seated by a sweeping vote. Again the
subject was foremost at night With
Tynan's actions and as a result, at
quarter of an hour after midnight the
body had not finished its business, and
was forced to adjourn until morning.
o'Donnell's name was not placed be-
fore the assembly, but in the evening
he induced the body to take an action
which many believe to be a repudia-
tion of it's stand during the day.
He presented a resolution binding
all candidates nominated by the as
sembly to vote for an amendment of
its primary law. which would do away
with the assembly feature This was
passed, and it is felt by many to be
acquiescence by the body itself to the
charge that the assembly action does
not represent party sentiment.

LIME ON THE FARM.

b i
It now seems to be quite generally
understood that many of our so-called
sour and worn OUT soil may be.
greatly improved by intelligent apple
cations of lime. Lime may affect the
fertility Of the soil in several different
ways, all of which are interrelated
and consideration of which is neces-
sary to proper understanding of its
effect in correcting so-called sacidityn
and building up .so-called ttworn-out"
soils. Thus, lime may "a improve.
the soil texture, t2) favor the growth
of grass and clover, (3) encourage the
development of beneficial bacteria,
"a aid in the decomposition of Vege-
table matter and the formation of hui
mus, (5) help make the plant food in
the soil available to the plant, and
(6) correct the acidity In the soil.
For proper understanding Of the use
of lime in correcting acidity and in
creasing soil fertility, all OF these fac
tors must be considered. These diff
ferent effects of lime on the soil are
fully discussed in free circular.

of one color; that color characteristic
to the variety.
Depth Of kernel and size Of cob are
correlated, and one should select the
medium size cob. neither the largest
or smallest. A cob equaling one-half
the diameter OF the ear is, nearly cor.
rect.
The ideal kernel should be slightly
wedge shaped, with straight sides and
one and one,half times sas deep as
wide. Large, full. bright, smooth germs
presenting an oily appearance are the
most desirable. A study Of the cuts
will show many of the above points.

will hold county shows, at which will
be exhibited corn grown by members
of the Boys Agricultural clubs, as well
as by farmers. These boys will also
exhibit at the state show Further
particulars concerning eligibility can
be had from Prof. S. B. Nuckols, Agri-

Wool Should Not Be Too Coarse Excessively Fine but Should
Possess Something of Medium Quality Superior Of
Milton and Wool Most Desirable.


ing both the wool and mutton quail
ties
An impression prevails in the north
Of England. says John Wrightsop IN
London Live Stock Journal, that sheep
never drink, and in this faith was
brought up. Water was always CON.
sidered to be an important accessory
in cattle pastures, but its absence was
never looked upon as an objection to
sheep runs There Is a breed known
as "crag" sheep in Lancashire, which
range over the extensive upland. OF the
mountain limestone, that are said to
require no water; but this does not
strike a Northumbrian as very re-
markable as it fits in with his precon-
cefved notions.
Mr. Primrose Mcconnell supports
this view when he writes that ..in his
boyhood he had herded sheep and
cows together In hot summer weather,
and been struck by the cows constantly
repairing to the water. while the sheep
never went near it, and were never
seen to drink at all. although they had
access to a running stream close at
hand" He adds that northern shep
herd would ridicule the idea of a
sheep ever drinking unless 1t was In
bad health. This opinion can en-
dorse with slight modification, as my
idea in the north of England was that
sheep were practically independent OF
water.
That this is also true to certain
extent in the south is shown by the
practice of many good shepherds. who
do not allow their ewes water during
the period Of CESSATION. There are
circumstances in which this rule is
not adhered to, but they constitute ex-
ceptions which may be said to prove
the rule.
To speak generally, 1t is a bad sign
when eve drinks frequently, and
indicates unsoundness in some form.
The truth seems to be that as long as
heritage is succulent, or is moistened
with dew, or from rain from time to
time, sheep do not require water
When ewes are fed on hay they
should have water; and when they re-
ceive cake and hay together, and are
not allowed roots, 1t is evident that
the moisture of the body must be kept
on. On the other hand, If they have
access to roots they do not require wa
ter, and this is one of the best rea-
sons for growing roots on high and
dry situations.
Again. the need OF ewes which have
to support lambs at foot are different
to either dry sheep or pregnant ewes.
They are called upon to supply
larger quantity of water in their milk,
and they must be supplied either di-
rectly or through succulent food In or
der to do so.

It Is difficult to estimate the full
value and benefit of corn and grain
show to the state or community in
which it is held. Every county in the
state should hold county corn and
grain show, and the winners at this
show should send their exhibits to the
state show. 1t is not the premiums
that are won that constitute the ben
eft derived from exhibiting good corn.
grain or stock, for the premium is the
smallest fraction of the real profit.
The man who exhibits, be it winning
or losing sample, sees his product put
in competition with those Of other men
and there can SEQ the good and bad
points of the exhibit, and he is very,
very slow and lacking in ambition if
he does not $50 home with the deter
mination to raise a better crop and
sample for the following year. This
Will cause him to think about his
m sthods of growing crops and try to
discover better methods of farming.
Have you not often heard such a
statement as this. 'sThose fellows
down by X town are fine farmers and
grow dandy crops. Why? It seems
that every one of them have pure seed
corn, and don't they seem to enjoy
their annual county fair and agricul-
tural exhibit 2" Since you think of it,
are their farms naturally more fertile
than yours, or have they simply got
started in the right direction towards
the field of better agriculture and bet
ter living?

The best.tIme to study the wool pro
ducing quality of ones flock is when
the animals are sheared. AS wool Is
being removed from the eheep time
should be taken to remove a few e.
beers OF the fleece and note its quality.
IN every flock there is wide varia-
tion in the quality Of the wool from
different individuals, despite the fact
that they were sired by the same ram
and given practically the same care
and feed. The average wool produc-
ing sheep Of the doubIe-deck type
should shear at least twelve pounds
of wool of good length and density:
The wool should not be excessively fine
nor, on the other hand, too coarse, but
SHOULD possess something Of medium
quality. / have a number of indi-
viduals In my flock that annually
shear from twelve to thirteen pounds
OF wool OF The quality that always de-
mands the highest market price.
These ewes are on the order of the
mutton breed, although they have
been bred for number of years for
both wool and mutton production.
am firmly Of the opinion that the
most profitable sheep for the average
farmer to raise in the future is the
animal that will produce high quail
ity of both wool and mutton. In view

ROOTS ARE FINE FOR
PRODUCTION OF MILK
Make Valuable Addition to Ra-
tions During the Cold Win
ter Months.

No matter what some people tell
you, turnips and other roots make
fine milk-producing feed. Turnips
will not affect the flavor. OF milk il
fed at the right time.
If turnips are fed in large quanti-
ties, and two or three hours before
milking. they are likely to give the
milk AN unpleasant taste, but If fed
directly after milking no flavor what
ever will be noticed.
A peck of turnips to each animal
per day is sufficient In most cases. A
good plan is to feed directly after hay
in the early morning, and once day
Is often enough.
Roots make very valuable addition
to the winter rations because they
add to the variety of the feed and no
animal on the farm appreciates va
riety more than the dairy COW.

Feeding and raising the calf on
skim-milk is not always an easy prop
osition, but have had very good
success. The calf stays with the
mother until the milk is good to use;
then it is given whole milk for three
weeks; then 1t is gradually changed
to skim-milk. The calf will soon learn
to eat alfalfa hay. BY putting a little
corn chop in the bucket when the
calf is through drinking it will soon
learn to eat it. Corn will supply the
fat that is taken out of the milk. The
calf must have exercise and is al
