ARE YOUR HOGS PROFITABLE?
Glover or Alfalfa Forage and Ear
or Two of Corn Daily.

Clover was worth over 500 per acre
In replacing corn in the hog ration in
one test conducted at the Ohio expert
ment station, when corn was valued at
$1.6S per bushel. Other forage crops
proved almost as valuable. Are you
cheapening pork production by the use
of such crops? There is no cheaper
feed up to a certain point. Pregnant
brood sow will do well on clover or
alfalfa forage and an ear or two of
corn daily. Young pigs and shotes
must have more grain, of course, but
they relish somesforage. Fence off a
part of that clover or alfalfa field and
give the hogs chance at it If you have
not already done so.

SHEEP RID FARM OF WEEDS
Also Return Fertility of Soil in Form
Of Manure-Graze With Cat
tie Very Nicely.

Roadsides, lanes and fence corners
may be kept clean and tidy by a flock
of sheep. Not only will sheep rid the
fields Of weeds and turn them into a
marketable product, but they will re-
turn the fertility of the soil to the
land In the form of manure. Sheep
will Craze with cattle nicely where
grass is abundant. and will eat the

Most farms have feed lots and yards

POPULAR BREEDS OF SHEEP
Shropshire Combines In Fairly High
Degree All Qualities Sought by
American Breeders

Sheep die easily sometimes, especial
iy so for the man who is inexperienced
with them. 1t may be said that the

they exhibit. Internal parasites kill
more sheep than all other causes COM

Railroad Crossings

Denver, Colorado, March 31.-Dan-
gerous railroad crossings in Colorado
must be made safe before June l, ac-
cording to a general letter addressed
by the state public utilities commits
sion to all railroads operating in the
state. This action by the commission
is taken in "onnection with the general
order regarding the condition OF rail-
road crossings issued last May, and
also in anticipation, not only Of heavy
tourist travel, but also of a substan-
tial increase in local vehicular traffic
during the coming season. Many of the
railroads have been delinquent in
placing their crossings in safe con-
dition. In the letter the commission
calls attention to the fact that its or
der requires railroad companies to
extend the grade, on a level with the
top Of the rails, for a distance Of 20
feet on each side of the track. Where
state highways cross railroad tracks
it requires that he approach to the
tracks be made at width of "a feet,
and on all other public highways the
approaches must be constructed at a
width Of l6 feet. These approaches
are not to exceed six per cent grade.
The commission directs the railroads
TO give their first attention to the
most dangerous crossings, stipulating
specifically that crossings now having
a grade of approach Of ten per cent
or greater shall be made to conform
with the order before June l.

The Fort Collins Courier has the fol-
lowing to say about the glee club:
"The club is to be congratulated on
its thorough work. Without doubt it
is the best glue club C. A. C. has
ever sent out. The parts are bal
anced perfectly. There is not n harsh
note in the whole program. The So
prano section stands out superior to
all predecessors. High pitched, sweet
and true, with plenty Of volume when
needed. And the other parts are en-
titled to the same praise. The writer
was particularly impressed with "In
the Gondola," "Pngrims' Chorus"
"Old Folks Melody" and the dainty
chorus, "Welcome Pretty Primrose" :"
which had to be sung twice to satisfy
the people. Every number was above
criticism and Professor Emslie and
the college are to be congratulated"

students. If you want a good seat

ed the use to the association for the
purpose of raising the money for the
