GREAT WASTE DUE TO WEEDS
n Certain States Where Diversified
tion Is Exception Annual Loss
Placed at $4,000 600.

(By J. D. MARSHALL, Colorado Agri-
cultural College, Fort Collins. Colo0
According to- thee United States de-
partment of agriculture, the annual
waste due to the weeds is estimated at
$30O,O00,000 for the whole United
States. In certain states where di-
versified farming is the exception and
not the rule, the waste is said to APP
proximate $40,0000OO per year. What
the waste is inN Colorado cannot be ac-
curately estimated, but it is undoubt
eddy true that considerable waste oc
ours. In the intensively cultivated
sections the waste is not very large
because of the clean culture needed
for certain crops. In sections where
grain crops are very popular, the
waste is quite large.
The principal ways in which weeds
affect farming are through direct dam
age to the crop, cutting down the yield,
cheapening the product, and lowering
the value of land.

HARD WORKING TEAMS /
"Hard Feed During Busy Sea-
SOM Is Recommended.
Horse Will Thrive, Work Better, and
Remain Healthier and More En-
during-Soft Grass Makes AMI
NAL too Mushy and Flabby.
tBy T. E. sAwYER.)

When a farm horse is working hard
1t does not pay to let him eat grass
when it is green. The horse deserves
and should have a good roll on grass
or plowed land each time the harness
Is removed, as that is luxury and
helpful to the animal.
But he will thrive, work better and
remain healthier and more enduring
If fed 'hard feed" during the busy
season.
The soft, washy, green grass is pal
atable of course, but it makes the
horse soft and fiabby, keeps the bow
els too loose and is apt to induce collie.
If the horse has no work to do he
may 60 on pasture right along and
have little grain, and when his work
is done in late summer he may enjoy
the fall pasture made green again by
rains The pasture also is a good
place for the brood mare, as it pro-
notes flow of milk.
Severe attacks of collie often are
caused by allowing the hot, tired horse
to eat grass at the roadside when he
has made long trip to town.
The trouble, too, is prone to come
on when horses are suddenly fed new
hay or new oats. Roth new hay and
new oats should be fed in small guam
titles gradually at first, and along with
old hay and oats until the horses be-
come accustomed to the change.
Either the new feed is so palatable
that the horse eats too much of it, or
it contains some ferment that sets up
Indigestion and formation of gas.
Water very seldom causes cole. Ma
ture intends horses to have all of it
they want, at any and all times, and SO
provided it does no harm; we may
cause trouble by Withholding drinking

A second planting of peas and also
one of string beans is desirable. Beets
planted in June are good size by Au-
gust and excellent for fall canning. Tur-
nips and carrots are much better il
they are not too large and therefore
a second planting will make better
vegetables for fall use.
One must be careful not to allow
the ground to bake over the seeds in
hot weather. 1t is desirable to put
a mulch on the garden to help the
moisture and keep the sun from bak-
