How Denver Cares For Her Poor.

Denver, Colo, Sept, 18, 1913
One naturally thinks that the sub
iects which interest him is like
" to prove interesting to Others
in general. Newspaper work quick
" dissolves this idea. The ed
itor finds it q matter Of con-
cern to fill his paper with material
in which any great number Of the
readers will be interested. For this
reason have hesitated to send in
anything relative to my visit in Den
yer, knowing SO many of our read
ers have been here and probably
have seen things which interested
them much more than those of which
/ could write. However, yesterday
/ was strolling along alone in q
quiet secttm Of tie city when ! saw
before me q group Of large buildings
surrounded by gardens, all tightly
enclosed by fencing. Being on the
outside Of the fence was naturally
curious to know what was inside and
l found an entrance. Those Of our
readers who care to may 60 with me
to visit one of the great charitable
institutions of the City of Denver.
l saw two men standing close to
the fence and questioned one Of them
as to what the buildings were. Ser
iously enough he replied, "This one
is the County Hospital" but when ]
pointed to the one back of US he
gleefully replied, "Oh, that is the
crazy house," l had guessed as
much from the actions of several per-
sons l had noticed in the yard. l
wasn't quite sure my informant did
MT belong with them so l hasten
ed on when he told me they wouldn't
let me into the "crazy house." l
entered the main building of the hos
pital and told the girl who greeted
me that l wished to see someone who
would tell me something of the hos
pital management. She said she
would call Miss Brinkhoff. l waited
with more or less trepidation, expect
ing some white-capped, white-gown-
ed, severe-faced, prins, spinster hos
pital matron of forty or more. I'm
agine my delight when a slim, grace
full girl with the most beautiful eyes
I have ever seen came to me. She
does not look more than % or %
except for the serious expression
that rests on the delicately moulded
features of her small face. I felt
as tho l had met someone out OF
story book, so beautiful did she seem
to me and so entertaining did she
prove.
The hospital is maintained by the
city and county of Denver. Miss
Brinkhoff told me that while she does
not quite see what Denver would do
without it, yet she fully believes
that it breeds pauperism. She says
that poor and shiftless persons are
their greatest care. They get in
there and it is almost impossible to
get rid of them. Denver has no
home for the infirm and aged and
many of them, not i'll but simply
too old to care for themselves, are
housed in one wing of the building.
I was taken thru the wards, and af-
ter seeing the inmates could fully
understand Miss Brinkhoff when she
said Denver seemed to be the Mec-

ca of the lame, the halt and the
blind. The men in the different
wards .truly looked like the ott-scour-
ings of earth, the women still more
pitiable. There were but few child
rem. The patients in the tubercul-
ar ward looked most wretched in
their emaciation. Miss Brinkhott
said that they were practically in
curable since they did not come
there until the end was near.
The operating rooms are provided
with seats overlooking the tables so
that medical students at the Univer-
sity can view operations. There are

told that these cases average one q

Our final visit was to the nurs-
cry where we found six or eight lit
tie ones lying in their white beds or
toddling about the floor. Miss Brink
hoff made straight for one of the
beds and picked up homely little
red-haired creature that clung to
her with delight and each little child
laughed up at her as she passed and
reached out her tiny hands. The
baby she held seemed to me to be
the least attractive, but as Miss
Brinkhof told the child's his
tory l better understood her inter-
est. The child's mother brought her
to the Institution when she was but
a tiny baby seven months ago. The
child was in a terrible state with
rash, and she came down with every
conceivable disease in quick success
sion, recovering from one only to
take another. Finally one Of the
doctors said he felt they could not
get her we'll unless she could find
someone to love her. One of the
nurses thereupon devoted certain
part of her time each day to"mother-
ing" the little thing, whose own mo-
ther had disappeared, leaving no
word. The child began to improve
and short time ago the
mother was heard from. She wrote
from western Montana, asking the
Poor Department to find out for her
where her baby was buried. On
learning that the baby was alive and
we'll she wrote the hospital to send
the baby to her by someone who
might be going to Montana. She
was too poor to come for it. A nurse
from the hospital is going to Hell
ena next week and little Ruth will
be returned to the mother who
thought she had left her to die.
Another little doll of baby had
been deserted by her mother of whom
no trace could be found Miss Brink
hoff told me Of a wealthy family
waiting to take the child provided
slight curvature of the spine could
be corrected. This baby seemed to
be Of an especially sunny disposition
and was very pretty. In another
bed lay a tiny little form, all eyes.
"Tubercular," said the nurse. Run
ming about the room was a sturdy
little girl of apparently three years.
Miss Brinkhoff told me she was eight
year old and came to them an alb
solute idiot, unable to move. The
Thyroid gland, Of which so much is
heard these days, is utterly lacking
in the child, and she is being treated

Grubs That Afflict Sheep.

what causes some of my sheep to
hold their heads to one side. like hogs
that have blind staggers?" asks an In
diana reader of Farm and Fireside.
The answer is:
The presence of gadhy grubs in the
upper passages OF the nostrils and
head is common cause Of staggers in
sheep. and the affected animal may
hold its head to one side or constantly
try to throw its head back over its
spine. In such sheep there is usually
a discharge from the nostrils, and this
may cause coughing or sneezing.
There is no specific remedy for this
condition. but sheep usually manage to
withstand the trouble II generously
fed. The important thing is TO pre-
vent the depositing of gadhy larvae in
the nostrils of sheep during fly time In
the summer. This may be managed
by daubing pine tar on the sleeps
nose during the time when flies cause
Btampeding.

for profit such items as hogs, poultry
Ind eggs, honey. fruit and vegeta bes.
1t Is bad policy to keep cows of any
but high quality. The law of selection
needs to be kept In force. 1t costs no
more to feed and handle an animal
that yields FIVE gallons of milk daily
than one producing three gallons 1t
does not pay to keep cows that pro-
iuce less than four gallons a day.
Ten or twelve cows are not too
many for a farm of forty acres. and
they will permit of many other inter
ests that will distribute the labor
evenly through the day. Opera ting in
this way on u small farm there ought
to be twenty-five hogs, 200 chickens
and 100 ducks and geese to market
every fall. in addition to 300 to 500
broilers, considerable number of
eggs and a miscellaneous lot Of vege-
tables.
There Is work enough for an aver
age family on very few acres where
the intensive principle is followed. We
need to diversity in order to distribute
the work over a season.
For instance. an acre of stra wberries.
an acre of cucumbers, two acres of po-
tatoes. an acre of onions and ten acres
Of corn will make profitable seasons
work for a family. The total is but
fifteen acres, and it will take some
hustling to handle these crops. Add
ten acres of alfalfa for dairy. send
thirty or forty gallons of milk to
market every day and the family will
be kept busy from morning till night.

that he doesn't enjoy lifting bags Of
grain as well as he did fifteen years
ago, so he has simply cut that form of
activity right out of his chicken bust
ness.
To accomplish this he has built his
grain bin in one end of the henhouse,
with a horizontal door opening out and
downward. A pair of hinged brackets
hold this door in a level position just
at the height of the door of his bust
ness wagon. When the wagon load Of
grain comes home from the station it
is backed up to this platform and
dumped into the bins without lifting.
A narrow weather strip across the top
and some patent roofing the rest of the
way down keep out all driving storms.

A FTER considerable experience in

A FTER considerable experience In
~ diversified farming on a place
Z "a. Of forty acres in the Chicago
district can recommend a
dairy of eight or ten cows as the basis
of operations on a small farm. 1t Is
taken for granted that a hired man
will be kept for the principal work or
that the owner is prepared to devote
his time and energies to the PROPOSE
ton.
For three years my dairy of ten
cows has paid 500 to S125 a month
1t took considerable time to grade up
from a lot of scrubs that returned $50
to $50 a month to cows that can be
depended on for about four gallons of
milk each.
There Is something in market facili-
ties also. Private customers, including
restaurants and hotels. are desirable.
In this way the middleman's profit is
saved. Our sales are all by the gallon,
and part of the product Is furnished In
the form of cream. We use a small
separator. The place is two miles
from an active little town. where there
is ready cash market for milk and
cream. butter, eggs, poultry. etc. 1t is
also possible to obtain table scraps in
abundance, and this is an excellent
kind of food for chickens and pigs
When milk was unreasonably low
we made butter, for which we had pri.
vate customers. With prices on the
present basis we prefer to sell milk
and cream.

count of tests made in treating barley
and wheat before planting with one or
two soakings in tepid water, followed
by immersion in water at from so TO

minutes.
The results were practically always
favorable as regards lower percent

Winter wheat stepped for four hours

wheat under similar treatment gave 81

This seems on the whole the best
treatment used. The yield was very

that there is no better way to fatten

This is what is called "hogging or"

DO OLD PASTURES PAY?
Generally Found to Be Good Only For
Places For Exercise Of Herds.

We are fast coming to Il point where
the pastures will not he relied upon at
all except as Il place for exercise and a
little extra feed during the height Of
the season. and the farmer will have to
plan to raise enough of green foliage to
feed the herd all summer. Five acres
OF ensilage would produce as much
feed and support as many cows in sum
mer as h average fifty acre pasture.
Some hay should be fed with the silage.
BY this plan, instead of a pasture
fast growing to wood lot the farmer
would have a smaller acreage of tillage
land devoted mostly to the hay crop
and corn for cnsilage. a small pasture
would need to be saved to furnish ex-
ercise and a little feed.
some grain still needs to be fed in
summer with ensilage. but not any
turc. \ quart of cottonseed meal with
the hay and ensilage will keep up a
good milk flow. Glover hay is better
than any other to feed with ensilage.
This plan requires quite an acreage
Of tillagc land in order to keep up the
yield Of the enSilage corn. which does
best on land only one or two years
from sod. AS compared with summer
Soiling the summer enSilagc is cheaper
requires much less labor. and corr is
more reliable than the crops grown fol
summer soiling.-American C%ultivator
