Mr.. Adam Thomas, of Ridgway, was
on the Denver market with cows the
past week, that weighed 1912 and
brought $3.50 per cwt.
AL Neal, of Montrose. is again to
be congratulated in winning cham
pionship on Shorthorn feeders at the
Chicago International Live Stock
show for this year. Mr.. Tripler won
second in the same class rhe gland
championship on carlot of feeders vas
taken by Mr.. Harrison on Angus feed
ers. This speaks well for Colorado,
as all are Colorado breeders. Mr..
Meals shorthorns do him credit as a
breeder.
Mr. L. w. -Sweitzer, of Delta ship.
ped 90 hogs during the week. These
were fattened on corn. Mr. Bailey on
Ash mesa assisted in making up the
rest of the load with a lot of corn fed
hogs. With the proper selection Of
corn for seed SO that yields can be in
creased, corn will be a very .mpor-
tant crop here in the future Barley
is an excellent grain for Colorado
conditions where satisfdcto.y y yields
can be had. Both these grains are
excellent for hogs on alfalfa pasture.
In recent hog feeding test com
pleted last week, 1t required 425 lbs.
of grain and 427 lbs. of apples to pro
duce 100 lbs. of gain The grain mix
ture used was 1-3 bran and 2-3 ground
wheat. From results previously OBJ
tained in local feeding tests, 1t has
required 4SO to 500 pounds of this
grain mixture to produce 100 lbs of
gain. In determining the saving ef-
fected from feeding of the apples in
this case. 55 to rs lbs. of grain was
saved from feeding 427 lbs. of frozen
apples. In this test GA hogs gained
1903 lbs. in 30 days at cost OF 1885,
"a. The value of the gains produced
was $257.44 or $60.57 clear profit. The
test was made on the farm OF Allen
Nash.

the yard graded and lawn made and
