men from all parts of the state. Com
missioner Henahen, in presenting
his plan, stated that Colorado is
entering upon mining revival and
that lie the appropriate time to give
mining proper encouragement The
mining communities, he declared,
have been slow to exploit their re-
sources and invite capital Too much
has been left to individual effort.
The parade will tell the story Of
mining from the first discovery to
the present tims. 1t will show to
the 100000 visitor the great re-
sources Of Colorado and the oppor-
tunity for investment. 1t will
appeal TO the visitors to visit the
mining camps and obtain furtrther
information abont how the nation

Henahen believes the parade will be
the most startling presentation Of
the mineral resources Of the state
that has ever been devised.
Among the lighter features will be

presented in such fashion that the
visitors will be instructed and en-
tertained. A burro train Of 800
animals and a mule train fullv
equipped, ore wagon trains. typical

Muerman, u. S. Educational
Expert Gives Lectures Here

Mr.. Muerman pointed out that a
weakness in the system was that
some parents were careless and a
few dishonest in keeping and max
ing out the record. However, the
total result has been closer uniting
of home and school and a bond of
appreciation and sympathy between
teacher and parent 1t also resulted
in the attainment of habits Of indus
try on the part Of the pupils. 1t
gives a pupil Of ordinary mental
ability an opportunity 10 demon
etrate his capacity for citizenship.
The lecturer presented samples of
individual work done by Filipino
pupils who were under his charge
when he was superintendent of the
Filipino schools. He pointed out
that all our colonial schools were
based upon vocations and industry.
while our home schools, for the most
part, were based upon books. Mr..
Muerman declared that if this coun-
try keeps mp the race for supremacy,
IT must give more attention to com
merce, agriculture and industry.

they do get it. The drier the stalks
the more liable the cattle are to be
stricken
There is no treatment for it yet de-
veloped. The veterinarians cannot
make up their minds as to the causes
of the affection.
1t makes little difference about the
cause so long as no two men are able
to agree upon it, The point the cattle
owner must keep in mind is how to
prevent it. The following plan has
been found valuable as preventive;
Turn the cattle into the stalk field
gradually. The first stay ought not be
longer than half an hour, and this may
be gradually increased if no trouble is
encountered.
If the cattle are we'll fed and wa
tered before being turned in there is
less opportunity for trouble. as so
much of the dry food will not be eaten.
Giving them water Immediately after
they have stuffed themselves with dry
blades and husks may bring on an at
tack.
by feeding some laXatlVe forage ike
alfalfa or millet as a part of the ration
while on the stalks the cattle are less
likely to develop any of the symptoms.
So far as | know there is no medical
treatment. but a laxative is helpful i'll
the earliest stages of the trouble. 1t Is
well to bear in mind that great many
cases develop late in the fall or
early in the winter during the first
cold. stormy rains. BY getting the
cattle out of the fields in such weather
and putting them under shelter the
danger of an attack will be minimized.
1t is easy to pick out the sufferers in
herd They are found bumped up"
and at some distance from the main
body of the cattle. The switching of
the tail. the restlessness and the aim
less kicking are evidences of serious
abdominal pains.
The drier and older the stalks the
more dangerous they seem to be. Corn
stalk disease is rarely heard of early
in the fall. but is more common after
the last cornfeld has been gathered
and the stock turned in.

TO RAISE POTATOES
FOR THE BIG PROFIT

The aim In raising potatoes should be
to plant so as to get the biggest yield
and at the same time with the least
expense. One of the farmers In SOm-

to do this most successfully 10 +. b.
Davis. He has received as big yield
as 800 bushels per acre In some in
stances and on the whole 800 to 500
bushels per acre. He tells his story
how he did it, which many farmers
would do we'll to follow. He writes In
the American Cultivator as follows:
The soil must be in the best pos
sible condition as regard filth and fer

HOG CHOLERA CHECKED.
Methods by Which Community
Stamped Out Disease.

George Glover of the Utah expert
ment station writes that In one COM
munity with which he Is familiar ana
in which hog cholera was rampant the
disease was stamped out by the fol-
lowing method:
A competent veterinarian was made
deputy sheriff with instruction TO
clean up cholera. He did 1t by hrst
ordering the carcasses Of cholera hogs
destroyed by fire. Healthy hogs were
isolated from sick ones. serum was
used with discretion. pens were or
dered cleaned once week and the
litter destroyed by fire, lime was scat
tered in the yards and the pens white
washed, the hogs were placed In quar-
antine, and notices to that effect were
posted conspicuously. the moving OF
hogs on the public roads was pro-
hibited, and all imported hogs were
held fifteen days before exposing them
to other hogs.
This procedure in a general way, II
enforced vigorously, will control hog
cholera, and there is no other way.
The sanitary authorities must enforce
the same general rules in quarantine
and disinfection that they do with
smallpox and scarlet fever In the hu-
man. and there is no reason why the
disease cannot be equally we'll con-

furnishings the same afternoon she

a subscriber of she Iowa Homestead
whose attitude is favorable to the
practice of raising fall pigs writes as
follows:

year to be thinking of the fall filters.
Sows must be bred early enough in the
summer so that they will not go into
winter before the pigs are narrowed.
Winter pigs should have the same care
as fall pigs, of course, but they do not
have the advantage of the fall pasture
or forage as do earlier pigs. Owing to
this | do not think winter pigs are as
profitable to raise rs are spring, sum

BY the time II colt is ready to wean
he can be halter broken with very lit
tie trouble If you spend few min
utes each day petting and feeding him
out of hand little things he likes, says
j. e. Myer in the American Agricultur-
list When you want to halter him go
about 1t In an easy manner. Take
the halter into the stable and let him
touch it with his nose. AS soon as he
thinks it won't hurt him rub it gently
about his head. letting him feel 1t
when he seems to be In doubt. Do
not try to hold him to put it on, but
wait until he will allow you. Then
put it on and take 1t off a few times,
after which you can leave 1t on or
put it on without any trouble.
When the colt is large enough to
harness take the skeleton part Of the
harness and make him acquainted
with it by letting him touch 1t with
his nose Then rub 1t down his neck
and across his back till he doesn't
mind 1t. Do not try to break him In
one day. About twenty to thirty min
utes day is as long as you can keep
his attention.
After he is used to the harness put
an open bride on him In place OF
the halter and have an easy bit, over
which do not allow him to get his
tongue Take him into a small In
closure If possible and teach him to
guide. In doing this and until you
hitch him up it Is best to run the
reins through the shaft carrier. Teach
him to guide one way before trying
the other After he will guide easily
both ways pull him first one way,
then the other His mouth is very
tender, so do not be rough with him.
Now you are ready to teach him
the command "Whoa" Start him with
a little pull or touch and stop him
by seesaw pull. saying whoa" at
the same time Stop him at the same
place for few times till he stops
of his own accord; then make him go
on and stop anywhere you want to.
Reduce your pull on the lines till ne
stops at the command. When ready
to teach Get up let him stop; then
pull very lightly on one line; touch him
with whip and say Get up" all at
the very same time. Repeat till he
starts and stops at either command.
He will now be ready to hitch up.
Put the harness on and drill him two
or three minutes as before, then hitch
him to something light If possible. let
him know that he is attached to rig.
shake the shafts against him gently
and rattle the wheels, have an assist
ant help him start the vehicle. go
few feet and allow him to stop and
think about what he has done. Have
a helper assist him to turn by pressing
the shafts against him and back up by
pulling the vehicle back. When he Is
afraid of anything talk to him gently
and allow him to approach the object
and touch it with his nose. II you
lead him up to anything don't allow
him to hurry when you are leaving It.

you will develop a horse that will re-
pay you with good. honest work all his

Reasons For the SiIo.

Because of the palatability and sue
culence slage possesses higher feed
ing value than does the same forage

innate that the silo doubles the value
of the forage crop.
Silage can be used in summer and
fall as substitute for and to supple

It has been conclusively proved that
the silo effects considerable saving

The silo enables the farmer to keep

When Pastures Arc Dry.

The late summer is always trying

and pastures short AS soon as any

some provision should be made for
