Denver.-Farmers throughout the
state have made demand upon the
etafe Council Of Defense that the mills
and grain elevators throughout the
state be compelled to return to them
what Is known as the screenings" Of
wheat and other grains. The charge
y made that the mills, by retaining
these screenings, are adding thou
sands Of dollars every year to their
earnings to which they are not en-
titled. ..-..
30 numerous and loud have these
protests become during the last few
yeers that the council determined to
take the matter up with the National
Food Administration at Washington.
screenings, the producers Of grain
assert, are quite valuable. They can
be used for chicken feed and other
purposes. and the mills and elevators
find ready sale for them. For years
1t has been practice in Colorado for
the mills and elevators to retain them.
There Is no law In Colorado govern
ing the disposition Of screenings.

Lambs should be weaned at from

somewhat, on the condition Of the
ewes and the size Of the lambs. Where
they are large and growthy, tho ewes
thin, the lambs may be weaned earlier
In order that the ewes may be put in

Where the lambs are small and the
ewes In good condition, however, they
may be allowed to run together longer.
The lambs should be well fed at weanr

Denver.-Immediate enlargement oi

In the United States, In announced In
Denver. Thomas Annear. superin
tendent Of the mint, now 10 preparing
plans and an estimate of cost for sub

mint, at Washington. The next Con
gress. which meets Dec. s. will appro
pirate the money necessary for the
improvements. Work Of enlarging the
mint will begin a. quickly a. the
funds are provided.
The expansion of the Denver mint
is made necessary through the tre
mendous demand for small coins, par
ticularly pennies. The mint now II
working twenty-four hours . day. in
cluding Sundays, and is turning out
on an average Of 100000 pennies each
twenty-four-hour period.
Improvements planned will enable
the mint to do twice the amount OF
coinage. The plans call for the in.
stallation Of four more coinage
presses and the enlargement OF the
refining department. These improve.
ments alone will cost in the neighbor.
hood Of 100000.
That the money for the enlargement
Of the mint will be appropriated by
Congress seems q certainty. Senator
Shafroth, as a member OF the Senate
appropriation committee. is backing
the improvement plans.
In addition, Director Baker, being q
western man. is anxious to do every
thing within his power to help the
West. He says the Denver mint will
be "in the center Of the map" when
the Improvements contemplated are
made. Director Baker also has ad
vised local officials that he stands
ready to do his utmost to make the
local mint one Of the largest in the
world.
1t now b rated as one Of the most
efficient in the country, and with q
smaller plant is turning out more
coins than the San Francisco mint
which has nearly twice the coinage
equipment and capacity.
During the month Of October the
Denver mint turned out 100000
coins, more than were made in any
two months since the local plant was
opened.

LARGE Pig PROFITS
MADE IN MINNESOTA
letting Animals Gather Their
Own Feed Found Economical
and Satisfactory.

With the returns amounting to i've
cents minute for the time spent, A.
J. Mcclure, Of the University of Min
nesota, found that raising 100 pigs
every year was the most profitable
work the men did on his farm last
year. The pigs were raised. figures
completed at the end Of the year
show, with one hours time a day. At
the prices for pigs now, the returns
this year on this 1886 hours time was
nearly So an hour.
The reduction Of work to q mini
mum Is the method that the Mcclure
farm uses to increase the return on
the labor. The pigs collect their own
feed In the spring and summer from
rape and alfalfa fields and In the fall
they gather the feed to prepare them
for market by hogging down field Of
Is acres Of corn. Eight acres Of rape
and alfalfa keep the pigs and the
brood sows in the summer, furnishing
in fair season all the feed they will
eat. In September the pigs are turned
into q 15-acre field Of corn, beside
which Is four-acre rape field. The
sOws that are to be kept over during
the winter are left to clean up ths
waste after the pigs are marketed
Mr.. Mcclure finds that letting the
pigs do their own work is just as sat
isfactory and economical and much
more profitable. He even arranges
the winter quarters so that as little
attention as possible may be required
by the sows. Straw sheds make good
shelters for them and the corn cribs
and feed-boxes are placed as near the
sheds az possible.

II there exists In the mind Of anyone
any doubt as to the general inclination
to produce better stock Of all breeds,
the prevailing activity Of the trade will
serve to clear away these doubts.
There is unquestionably, at the present
time, a keener and more substantial
demand for registered breeding stock
than has ever existed heretofore. and
with this demand there has been q
steady advance in values. The require
ments have become more exacting,
which has forced higher individual
standards and finer discrimination In
the matter of blood lines.
As an Illustration Of the present con-
ception Of values, Tomson Bros, a
breeding firm, CarbOndale and Dover,
Kansas, disposed of 40 registered
Shorth0rn calves to w. @. Rosenberg

these calves just the type and the
lines Of breeding that he needed and
made this attractive offer which was
accepted.

obtain and breed the best available,
and his trade is now practically limit
ed to this class.
Mr.. Rosenberger's experience n the
experience Of large number of breed
ers. Nor Is this limited to the Short
horn breed. The same tendency pre-
walls among all breeds to a proportion
ate extent. Many farmers who have
heretofore handled nothing but grade
cattle and have used inferior bulls are
now forced by market conditions to
use better class of bulls-registered
stres-that the cattle they produce
may command satisfactory valua-
tlon when they go to the beef markets.
The farmers who have been breeding
grades of high order, and there are
many such, the result Of continuous
use Of registered bulls, have come to
recognize the advantage Of producing
full-blood or registered cattle. and are
embarkjng now along this line. Then.
rs stated above. many who have pro-
duced full-blood cattle Of fairly good
type are now turning their attention
to the production Of cattle of still bet
ter type and more dependable blood
lines.
1t Is broad, general movement to-
ward improved standards-the result
Of more exacting conditions at the mar
ket centers. There are 30 many forces
Of IN educational nature Mt work now
that we may reasonably look forward
to continuous progress along the line
Of live stock Improvement. Then there
Is the cost Of production which In It..
self would inevitably eliminate the in
ferior live stock standards. When land
Is high and help expensive and grains
and forage maintain n price level here

that the animal Of an Indifferent stand
