Rape as a Quick Forage Crop

In many livestock districts, owing
to the demands of the long. hard
winter, there is an alarming scarcity
of feed. For this reason 1t is desir-
able to grow crop that will supply
the deficiency early. For this pur-
pose rape is valuable. In short
time it will furnish abundant succu-
lent green feed for soiling or pas
ture, especially for sheep and swine,
being ready for use ordinarily six
weeks after being sown. 1t is priced
greatly as a catch crop.
From three to five pounds of seed
sown in rows thirty inches apart is
customary. the favorite variety be-
ing the Dwarf Essex. 1t may be
broadcasted, but in the semi-arid
sections 1t should be sown in rows
and cultivated. Rape seeds resem-
BILE those of the turnip in size. shape
and color, and from ten to fifty cents
will buy enough to seed an acre.
The seed will sprout early, even in
cool weather. though warmth is re-
Quired for rapid growth. Light
frosts do not injure the plant. The
sed-bed should be we'll prepared by

PROFITS IN DAIRYING

A recent report of the Wisconsin
Agricultural college shows that the
dairy herds of that station. after
standing a cost of $65.72 for feed,
returned an average net profit of
nearly $50 per COW in the year
1910-1911. The cost Of maintain
ing a dairy COW at the same station
in 19O5-1906 was $41.O5. or ap-
proximately $25 less than in 1910
1911. Notwithstanding this increase
in the cost of maintenance, the sta
ton herd has yielded the above
profit the past year.
Contrary to public opinion this
herd, like that of all other college
herds, has had no special advan-
tages. In fact, from the standpoint
of economy Of production. station
herds have many disadvantages.
The limited amount of land avail
able for the maintenance of sta
tion herd often necessitates the
purchasing of the larger part Of the
than the growing of these or some
substitute, and thereby reducing the
cost to a minimum. 1t is under
stood, of course, that all OF the
COWS in this herd were pure bred
They were bred by the college herd
for the purpose of making excep-
tional records, in which case these
results would be of little interest
to the practical breeder of dairy cat
tie. The writer does not call the
attention of the public to this data
because of the fact that it is in any
way exceptional, but rather because
it is authentic and because the me
thod by which these profits were Sc
cured may be practiced by any pro
gressive breeder who will selec
properly and give reasonable
amount of care and attention tt
his herd. Doubtless many practica
breeders in Wisconsin have equalet
, if not surpassed the work of thi
dairy herd when the cost of produc
ton is considered.
In the above herd one Jersey ant
one Holstein gave a net profit o
$129.50 and $127.61 respectively
Only seven of the entire herd re
turned a profit less than $40 each
/ while the lowest returns from an
individual COW was $24.79. TIL
average fat production was 354.7
pounds. This yield was not un
usually high, and still when one
reminded that the average dair
COW produces only $50 to II
pounds of butter fat per year, it
, easy to explain why it is possibl
to make profit of $50 per co
with production of 355 pounds {
butter fat. even though the cost {
: feed be $65.72 per COW. In additio
to the profits made from the sal
of butter fat, the sale of the pur
bred offspring amounted to al
!. proximately 1900.
The abnormally high cost of fee
:. per COW was due in part to the fac
that feeds were high in general, an
also the fact that the protein cam
very largely from expensive concer
trates. Had alfalfa hay been avail

PERSONAL APPEARANCE
A FARMING ASSET

Personal appearance is either an
asset or a liability 1t is as import
ant to the farmer as the city man.
Any gathering of farmers nowadays
presents as well-dressed, as intel
ligent and as fine looking body of
Americans as one can ind. Ihe
farmers are as we'll dressed on the
whole as the average city man, and
the tanned cheek and muscular
body denote health that is in part
the reward of the husbandman. At
a recent farmers meeting in Kansas
dress suits were much in evidence
at the evening functions.
A man who reveals some pride in
his appearance throws the balance
in his favor. 1t indicates spirit and
thoughtfulness. A well-dressed
farmer comes as rule from a we'll
kept farm. One who has pride in
self is likely to show outcroppings
OF the same quality in his work and
in the upkeep of his surroundings.
The marked tendency OF farmers to-
ward bettering their personal ap-
pearance is the outgrowth Of in
creasing respect for their calling.
Labor-saving machinery and pros
perity give greater opportunities for
self-culture-something that the
farmer covets as much as his city
bretheren. Simply through more at
tention to dress the farmers have
brought about q greater apprecia-
tion Of agriculture. for, rightly or
wrongly, We are prone to judge .
man and his success from personal
appearance. To have it favorable
in the case OF the farmer has far
reaching and beneficial effect. Tho
patrons OF husbandry nowadays are
also the patrons Of the haberdasher.

would be fine thing to settle this
long standing and bitter feud. so
they have announced potato race
for the fair this fall. that shall be

have a team of Ave men. The win
ner Is to get $25 and the loser a

the loser with the second prize in

been suggested that an entrance fee
of $500 be charged, and bar all
other entries but Hogue and Ray.
That is the cause of the profess
sional jealousy among the other
editors. While there have been no
outbreaks among the newspaper
men, 1t is feared that the smolder-
ing revolt will come to head soon
er or later. Just why the fair as
sociation should pass up the plan
of hanging Ray when it seemed to
give universal satisfaction and

of the county believe that serious

EXCURSION TO ELDoRAs NEXT
SATURDAY Will BE RARE TREAT

Your 50 will buy more mountain
enjoyment on the occasion of the
summer School excursion over the
switzerland Trail, rendered by the
Greeley Tribune on Saturday, July
IL, than any similar sum you ever
spent.
Instead of being packed into the
coaches like sardines in box, as Is
the case too frequently with ordi-
nary low rate excursions, there will
be seat provided for every ticket
sold. This Is easily possible be-
cause nearly all the tickets will
have been sold by Friday night, in
time for ample accommodations to
be provided.
The train will leave the Colorado
& Southern depot at Greeley at 1880
O'Clock Saturday morning, arriving
at Boulder at 9:45. Here the
transfer will be made to the narrow
guage coaches of the Denver. Boul-
der & Western railroad, and the
journey resumed at 10 O'Clock.
Then follows 33 miles of mountain
climbing over one of the crookedest,
steepest, safest little railroads in
America. Every foot of the way,
, every turn of the track discloses
new beauties. Canon and rushing,
tumbling stream, stately pine and
mountain wild flower combine alike
to delight the eye. AS the higher
planes are reached there breaks up
on the vision in the distance vistas
of snowy mountain peaks beyond
and rolling plain far, far to the
eastward, stretching away like a
billowy sea.
Isolated buildings dot the noun
tain sides, deserted prospect hole

Shortly after leaving Glacier Lake
the train crosses the North Boulder
creek, near the Blue Bird Mine

COLORADO SPRINGS PROGRESS
SIVE CANDIDATE FOR COVER
NOR TAKES FALL OUT OF THE
ROOSEVELT ENTHUSIASTS

Colorado Springs, July 6.-Philip
B. Stewart of this city, candidate
for the republican nomination for
governor, was shown press dis
patch from Denver, quoting E. P.
Costigan to the effect that the third
party movement will proceed, de-
spite the strong opposition to 1t at
the recent progressive conference IN
Colorado Springs, and calling those
opposed to the third party in Colo
RADIO reactionaries.
"Granting that Mr.. Costigan is
correctly quoted" said Mr.. Stewart,
there is this mucr to say:
Those present from every county
which elected Roosevelt delegates
to the last state convention agreed
to the resolutions passed at the
meeting of Tuesday night. There
was decided division of opinion
among the members TO Mr.. Costi-
gans progressive league present
from Denver. The progressives OF
Pueblo county unanimously agreed
that the third party was inadvisable
under the circumstances.
"Generally speaking, the evil
dence l receive through hundreds OF
letters expressing the opinions OF
leading progressives in every section
| of the state-countleS looking
strongly to the progressive move
ment for relief-prove conclusively
that they in the main agree that a
third party is not advisable at this
time.
HAS Mr.. Costigan exchanged
opinions equally widely through the
state?
Does Mr.. Costigan accuse Mr..
Work of Morgan county, Mr.. Jacobs
and Mr. Ewing of Weld county, Mr.
George Carlson of Larimer county.
Prof. DeLong of Boulder county,
Mr.. Benjamin Griffith and Karl
Bickel of Mesa county, Mr.. Mony-
han of Montrose county, Mr.. Nc

and does he include all the progress
sives of Ell Paso county? Does he
make the same charge against

be given next Thursday evening,
July IL, in the chapel of the Teach
ers college. The public will be
given an opportunity to witness
the presentation of this pretty comic
opera in three acts by cast of so
splendid singers.
This will be the second perform
ance OF this funniest musical af-
fair" in this city and II is already
predicted that the attendance will
even be greater than that of the
first presentation.
The opera has a real plot found
ed on the well known Longfellow
poem, "The Courtship Of Miles
Standish". The Libretto is bright
and clean, and the music is dainty
and tuneful.
The large enrolment Of the sum-
mer session affords a greater op-
portunity for the selection Of the
cast, there being in attendance many
of the leading supervisors of music
of the state. Since the chapel has
been increased in seating capacity
1t is certain that every one will be

Analysis Of Taft's Strength
Forty-six per cent OF Mr.. Taft's
strength Of 561, as shown on the
nominating ballot, came from the
south and insular possessions.
Twenty-seven per cent was made
up with states like Colorado and
Washington, where everyone who
knows enough to come in out of the
rain knows Taft could not win a
primary vote. and % per cent. in
cluding New York, from states with

which have in times past cast their
electoral votes for democratic can

say. therefore, that MIR. Taft was
put over" by sinister influences !;
that the committee and the con-
vention betrayed their trust and
the people, and that a conspiracy of
months duration, eliminating in
revolution by the committee, alb
solves me from obligation to sup
port Mr.. Taft.
appeal to the people of the state
of Colorado-not in spirit OF
frenzy or hysteria-but calmly and
dispassionately - to answer this
question:
II you represented the crew on a
splendid ship-seaworthy and sound
and a small but reactionary and
active minority of that crew should
become mutineers to the principles
governing the course and conduct
of that ship, in other words, pirates
what would you, as one of a ma
jority of that crew, feel warranted
and justified in doing?
Fight Pirates on Own Ground
Would you desert that splendid
ship-turn it over to the pirates
and build new one, plank by
plank-Or would you rise like men
throw the pirates overheard, regain
control of your splendid vessel and
put good men at the helm to guide
1t safely to the port of honor for
which 1t was destined?
MIR. Roosevelt has accepted a
nomination rendered him by the
honestly elected majority of the re-
publican convention.
AS candidate for the republican
nomination for governor, and be-
lieving that l am emphasizing my
republicanism and my patriotism by
my position above outlined, l will &C
to the primaries in this state, if
secure the necessary votes in the
party assembly.
II some way is found by which
the people can say whether they
prefer Taft to Roosevelt electors

not done l must be considered free,
by some other means. to assist in
Offering republicans who desire to
do 50 a chance to vote on Roosevelt
electors.
Finally. I appeal to the progress
sive republicans in every section OF
the state that they make diligent
effort to send to every county as.
sembly, and to the state assembly
which meets in Denver, Wednesday
July 81, men who will enlist in the
cause OF progressive and honest
government. with the understanding
that their period of enlistment en-
dures until such time as fair, hon
