As fair as dawn that breaks through

or rising sun as royal as queen
Upon her marble throne; superb in
thy
Adornment. clothed in tints Of earth
and sky.
Art thou, oh sunlit Colorado dear,
The home of poet. prophet and OF
seer.
The valleys are like laughter. sweet,
outpoured;
Thy dells, like em'rald gems midst
richest hoard
or treasured wealth; thy stately
mountains stand
Like giant castles brooding o'er the
land.
Oh, radiant, sun-kissed Colorado,
dear,
Thou store OF all that artist minds
revere!
And in the temples OF thy forest
wild,
Where souls, by dreamy witchery be-
guiled.
Can feel the rapture of transform
ing bliss
Which thrills and gladdens like a
maiden's kiss,
One loves, oh golden Colorado dear.
To sing of thee, that all the world
may hear
Fair Nature, ever lavish with her
grace.
Has hid "A million beauties in thy
face;
And richest music's strains enhance
thy halls,
And scenes sublime enrich thy gran
ite walls:
Thou art the home and haunt OF
men who see
Gods golden, matchless glory shed
on thee.

The number OF milking cows kept
Is one OF the important factors
which determine the labor required
on the dairy ranch. This is due to
the fact that on good sized dairy
farm the labor needed to milk is
greater than that for other farm
operations Milking is conditioned
both by time and physical limita-
tions. 1t must be done at regular
intervals and requires enough milk
ors to complete II within certain time
limits. II is not ordinarily possible
Tor one man to milk as many cows
as he can raise and harvest crops

farming II normally requires three
men to milk by hand a herd which
two men are capable OF caring for
otherwise. Unless there is some other
enterprise which viii profitable em-
ploy the extra mans time between
milking intervals there Is loss OF of-
ficiency of the labor. II is In the
adjustment OF this problem that the
milking machine enters as an i'm
