it's should have much significance for

it" should have much significance for
the dairyman.
Two COW testing associations have
been organized in this state by the U.
s. Dairy Division. In these associa-
tions are forty-seven of the most rep
resentative dairymen who own one
thousand cows. Thirty-seven per cent
of these herds are headed by grade or
scrub bulls. When we consider the
seven thousand dairy herds of the
state, the COWS of which average a
trifle more than one hundred pounds
OF butter fat the past year, then can
be seen how vital is the question of
the dairy sire when it is the only
available means of raising the pro-
ductive standard of our herds.
For the average dairyman the best
course to pursue is the purchase of q
bull calf on the strength of his ances-
tors, preferably the dam, and trust
that he will transmit the desirable
characteristics to high degree. In
the selection of sire give reliance to
close ancestory, in preference to
blood of the fourth, fifth and sixth
generations. We so often hear man
say that his bull is Golden Lad or
De Kol, when an examination of
the pedigree shows the famous indi-
vidual is five or six generations dis
tant, which means about one and o
half to three per cent of the noted in
dividuals blood.
When purchasing sire, see If pos
sible, his dam. She should be Of good
size for the breed, regular breeder,
possess strong constitution and vi
tality,. with we'll developed barrel and
mammary system and have made u
good yearly official record.
The history of dairying in the older
dairy sections is history of pure
bred dairy sires, and why should
Colorado dairymen be SO long in ap-
plying time tried methods that have
proven the success of this industry
in other states.

hardly any difference in favor of any

the above results it is evident that the
selection of the heaviest seed for SOW

crease the yield per acre or the weight

HEAVY VERSUS LIGHT

During the past ten years a great
many experiment stations have been
conducting experiments to determine
the relative effect different sized kerr
nels on the quantity and quality of
grain produced per acre. The work
at the Nebraska Experiment Station
is worthy of notel on this particular
subject. Tests here were made with
wheat; the tanning mill being used to
make the seed separations.
In the tests, Turkey Red, hard
winter wheat, aud Big Frame, soft
winter wheat. were used. A lot of
seed from each Of the above varieties
was separated into two parts, the
heavier and lighter halves. These
were again separated into the ''heav-
lest heavy" and the ''lightest light, .
only the heaviest heavy and the light
est light being sown. To check re-
suits, ordinary seed as 1t came from
the separator was planted. The same
]method was followed each year for a
period of eight years The seed from
each crop of the heaviest heavy and
the lightest ightest light was separa-
ted and only the heaviest heavy and
the lightest quarter of the lightest
light were used for seed.
AT the end of the experiment the
average yields for the three kinds OF
seeds were practically the same,

Editor TINES:
Cheyenne Wells Colo.

DEAR SIR:
At the request of a number of
friends, that + write them, will
write them all at once by writing
the TIMES.
arrived home Jan. 10Th, and
found my family all well satis-
fed. We had rather a severe
winter here this winter, it has
been very cold, but to US it don't
seem SO. There is no wind at
all. Last winter when we were
having our worst winter, it was
warm here. The wind has not
blown enough since l have been
here to lift a straw hat off of
| your head.
This country has been very
prosperous, but at the present
Ltime there are some dissatisfied.
Up to three years ago the or
chards paid from 500 to 81, 900
an acre, but the short crop of
1911 and the low price of 1912
have made it pretty hard on the
ones that went in debt, But all
fruit growers associations are ex-
pecting better prices this year.
AS you come into the valley,
one mile from the canyon, you
come to Palisade, a nice little
town Of about 1000 population,
five miles farther on is Clifton,
a good little town, with four good
stores and a bank. Eight miles
on is Grand Junction. a city of
ten thousand population, ten
miles on is the town of Fruita,
with population of two thous-
and people. The towns are all
good towns, good buildings. good
stores and residences, all are
well painted, and show that the
country is prosperous.
We can live here as cheap as
there, coal is 81 ton for best
lump and S1:50 for nut; best flour
81 SO per sack. canned goods and
meats if anything are less. Our
coal has cost us about ten dollars
since last October. What we
save on fuel makes up for other
stuff.
I have been doing some trading
since ! came over here, We
moved on a place near Grand
junction, / have traded that and
some other property for nice
young orchard. one half mile
from Palisade, we now have a
good home. have 1920 apple
trees and 267 cherry trees, just
coming into full bearing.
The people as far as we have
met, are a nice sociable class,
but we miss our old friends of
Cheyenne county.
Hoping to meet you and all
inquiring friends soon, / re-
main, very respectfully yours,
w. E. REDMoN.
