GREEN VEGETABLES

AS spring approaches one begins %
tire of the heavy foods which have
played an important part in the menu
during the winter The appetite be-
gins to flag and must be tempted by
dainty and attractive dishes. This IS
not due to personal whim, as is often
credited, but to the demands of the
system.
Loss of appetite is too frequently
followed by visit to the doctor and
a prescribed tonic, largely made up OF
mineral salts, which might be supplied
much more economically and agreeably
by proper diet. Why not serve dan.
delion greens rather than dandelion
bittersg
Fresh air, proper exercise and pre-
seribed diet, giving nature fair
chance, is the advice of many of the
more progressive doctors.
Fruits and green vegetables supply
acids and mineral salts in the form
most easily assimilated by the system
AS soon as green vegetables are in
market they should be used as nucn
as possible. 1t is well to decrease the
meat diet and increase the vegetable
diet.
Spinach, lettuce, asparagus, cucum-
pers, beets and dandelion greens, and
cabbage furnish many of the mineral
salts without making heavy diet and
are therefore especially adapted for
spring use.

GOOD ROADS MEETING

In an endeavor to devise ways and
means for securing for the counties OF
the state their share of the state road
FUNDS, unavailable by reason of the T.
legality of House Bill No. 200. the
vice presidents of the Colorado Good
Roads association, as well as the Coun-
ty Commissioners association of the
state, will meet in Denver on Friday.
May "a.
The state highway commission has
declared in favor of initiating a bill
to turn these road funds over to that
body, and is preparing to have pcti-
tions circulated. These petitions must
be filed with the secretary of state by
July 3, and contain 10000 names.
There is strong sentiment that if
possible, funds should be released to the
counties this year. The only manner
in which this could be done is through
an extra session of the Legislature To
initiate a bill would mean that the
funds would not be available until
after January, 1913, which would not
be before the next legislature meets.
Mesa county commissioners have a.
ready gone on record as favoring an
extra session, and this is matter
which will probably be discussed at the
Denver meeting, May "a.

THE RIGHT KIND OF PUBLICITY

What is one mans loss is another =
gain. In many fruit sections of the
United States this spring heavy frosts
have seriously injured the crops. In
Colorado, however, most favorable con
ditions have prevailed thus far, and the
predictions for the 1912 harvest are
tatterng. The western slope crop Is
expected to be a huge one. The cash
value will probably amount to over
$1,000, ,O0O-over $4,00O,O0O more than
was first estimated. No buds have as
yet been injured by extreme weather.
and as the frost limit is set for Nav
20, there is little reason to fear a
blight at this time. In any event, the
fruit growers will remain in readiness
to smudge until all danger of cold is
past. If the present conditions con
tinue it is not unlikely that Colorado
will ship more fruit this year than any
other fruit growing district of the
country.
Write these facts home to the folks;
Colorado cannot get too much of this
kind of publicity; it is based on truth

ALLOWS HOMESTEAD
SETTLERS TO LEAVE

President Taft has signed Represent
homestead entrymen under irrigation
projects who have found it impossible
20 prove up on their lands on account
of the failure OF the government th
furnish their water supply. The act
will be of immense benefit to several
thousand settlers in western Colorado
in allowing them to leaV their claims
and live elsewhere pending the com
pletion of the water supply, without
fear of contests and cancclaton.
Heretofore, owing to the fact that
the Uncompahgre and Grand Valley
projects have not been able to furnish
water to the settlers many claims have
been invalidated through inability of
settlers to live upon them
The president also signed bill by
Taylor whereby the secretary of the
interior is allowed to make further ex-
tension of time for proof of settlement
ON desert land entry. This measure
will allow total extension of ten
years upon the showing that water has
not been obtainable. BY its terms much
annoyance to settlers in the line OF
protested entries will be abolished.
The senate committee on public lands
has reported favorably Guggenheim 3
bill to permit additional homestead en-
trymen on enlarged homesteads and to
make non contiguous lands within SIX
miles of their original holdings. This
bill contains a provision which over
rules the recent decision of the seere-
tary of the interior, whereby an entry
man is required to await the complexion
of his additional entry before proving
up on his original entry
The public lands committee also re-
ported Warren's bill reducing the first
year cultivation AREA for enlarged
homesteads from eighty to forty acres.

THE THINGS MY WIFE HAS PUT

But III never see it more,
For my wife has got it put away

When close to the CHEEKY hearth |

Like the gold of Captain Kidd,
For my wife has got them put away

'Tis rule that S ne 'er unheeded

Oft I've told her, "Burn it, break it,
Or to some poor family take it,
Let me know it's gone and save me
from despair;
But do not, beg and pray,
Let me hunt till / am gray
For the thing / know you've put

When the sea gives up its dead,
When the judgment book is read,
When the last cold storage chicken

Then perhaps We II find some trace

CONSERVATION OF WATER
IN ROW IRRIGATION

The difficulty that every farmer ex
perienccs in ordinary row irrigation
is to SO control his supply that the
water flows down each row at the same
rate and with sufficient velocity so
that when the water reaches the lower
end of the row the upper end has had
time to be sufficiently moistened for
the water to reach the roots of the
plants. In order to accomplish this,
every field should have ditch run
ming along its highest part, properly
laid out. This will be best accomplish
ed by making openings through the
side of this ditch through which the
water runs into the rows, level; that is
to say, fixing them SO that when a dam
is put in, which brings the water over
the bank and forces it through the
openings, the water will run through
each opening with the same velocity
and therefore have the same head. 1t
will, therefore, be paying proposition
to make these openings permanent.
with openings III the side, each sec
tion set level, with drop at the end
Of each section SO that by placing the
dam at the end of the section, the
same quantity of water is discharged
through each opening and finds its way
to each row and is sent down each with
the same velocity and the same quan
tity of water is supplied to each row.
This quantity can be regulated by III
creasing or decreasing the head on
each opening, and with this arrange
ment it will be found that labor, time
and water will be saved.
Another thing, after an irrigation
by means of the row method, many
farmers have found it advisable aud
profitable to harrow across the rows.
This fills the bitches. and the ground
that is satura ted with loose earth
which forms 'dust mulch'' and
thereby prevents excessive evapora
tion from the rows, while if this is no.
done the bottom and sides of the
bitches take on crust, the particles
become packed together and excessive
evaporation takes place. For the next
irrigation it will be necessary to again
run the cultivator through the rows IL
order to form the bitches for another
application of water, and by the time
this second irrigation occurs the plants
will be so far advanced that it will be
impossible to harrow a second time,
but the first narrowing can be done
with very little damage to the crop,
in fact it is benefit to the crop even
though some of the plants are de-
stroyed.

GAS ENGINE ECONOMICS
ON THE FARM

The present stage of perfection OF
the gasoline engine, and the good name
which it is making for itself with all
those who use it, are attracting
great amount of attention from large
and increasing number of the farming
community. While it is not true that
the gasoline engine may be applied ai'
vantageously to all the machinery on
the farm which it is possible to run
with mechanical power, it is true that
a large part of it which is now run by
hand or horse power could be much
more conveniently and economically
done with gasoline engine power.
In selecting a gasoline engine, there
are two important factors to be con
sidered-First, the make of engine,
and second, the power of engine. In
deciding the first factor, the average
farmer does not always possess suffi-
cient knowledge of gas engines TO
Judge the merits of two different
makes. The claims and arguments of
competing manufacturers, agents and
dealers are so contradictory and coal
fusing that, unless one is an expert
their statements throw little light on
the subject.
AS precautionary statements in re-
| gard to the make of engine, / will say.
Do not try an engine which is still in
! the experimental stage. Buy an engine
which to your personal knowledge is
| giving first class satisfaction with its
| users. Do not buy an engine which is
exceedingly cheap. Buy an engine for
which repairs can be had without send
ing the length of the continent for
them.
In deciding upon the size of an en-
CINE one must depend entirely upon
the machinery to be run. The most
economical condition of gas engine
operation is attained when the engine
is run at full load, that is, when the
mach ne which is driven requires thr
| full power of the engine to drive it.
This condition cannot always be OBJ
tanned because it is generally the case
that several machines requiring differ
ent power must be driven by the same
engine. However, by using forethought
in purchasing new machinery for diff.
ferent classes of work about the farm
the different machines can usually be
selected Of such capacity that the samq
power will be required to run each
of them, and hence an engine pur
chased of just sufficient power to run
them. Manufacturers of power-driver
machinery give in their catalogues tn,
capacity of their machines and also tn,
amount of power required to run them
1t is often the ease on large farm
that it is more economical to have tw,
engines of different power. For in
stance, have one engine for pumpin,
water, turning the grindstone, drivin.
shop tools, etc, and larger one fo
grinding feed, cutting ensilage, etc.

VARIETY IN COOKING EGGS

At this season of the year, when
eggs are inexpensive, we are apt to
grow very tired of their frequent ap-
pearance on the table. This is due TO
the fact that for most people there are
only two ways of cooking an egg
boiling and frying.
In using some of the following re-
cipes, where cream or white sauce IS
the dressing, two or three quarts may
be made up at one time in cool wealth
er, and used as needed:
Eggs = Ia Goldenrod
Three hard-boiled' eggs, l table
spoon butter, l tablespoon -four, l cup
milk, y teaspoon salt, 1s teaspoon PEP
per, . slices toast, parsley.
Make thin, white sauce with but
ter, flour, milk and seasonings. Sepa-
rate yolks from whites of eggs. Chop
whites finely, and add them to the
sauce. Cut four slices of toast in
halves lengthwise. Arrange on platter,
and pour over the sauce. Force the
yolks through potato ricer or strain
er, sprinkling over the top. Garnish
with parsley and remaining toast, cut
in points.
