MARQUIS WHEAT LEADS
IN THE MIDDLE WEST

Marquis wheat is gaining in popu-
larity through the middle west. 1t
now comprises 50 per cent of the
spring wheat crop in Minnesota, A
per cent in North Dakota, 5s per cent
in South Dakota, and AZ per cent in
Montana. For three years the Bould-
er County Farm Bureau has been en-
gagged in a test of Marquis and Def
ance varieties to determine which of
them is the surest and most profitable
as spring wheat under irrigation.
So far the result is about 'fifty-fifty."

PARK COUNTY RANCHMEN
TRANSPLANT WILD BLUE
SPRUCE FOR SHELTER BELT
Adds Greatly to the Comfort and
yalue Of the Place

W. J. Morrill,. Agricultural College.
In Long Meadow. Park County, Col
orado. located at an elevation Of $500
feet, J. N. Jacot several years ago
dug up 100 wild blue spruoes ranging
between five and ten feet in height
and planted them TO form a shelter
belt and rs an ornamentation behind
his ranch house. Seventy-two of the
trees have survived and all but two
or three Of them look perfectly
vigorous He planted the trees as
early in the spring as the frost would
permit. His success shows what is
possible with even wild seedlings and
saplings, which do not submit to
transplanting as readily as nursery
stock.
The sheiterbelt lying north Of the
house and barns will not only add to
the comfort Of the family and live
stock, but will increase the attractive
ness Of the ranch, factor which adds
to the place in case the owner should
sometime decide TO sell. aShelterbelt
comfort with added value and slight
expenditure of time and money are
matters too often overlooked.

HANDLING OF FOAL Is AN
IMPORTANT ITEM FOR
OWNERS OF ANIMALS
Many a Young Beast Is Lost Thru
Inefficient Handling During First
Few Weeks.
Isl. 4. Wassel in News-Notes;-

W. T. Wassel in News Notes.
1t is Of the highest importance in
horse producing that the young start
life in full health and vigor. The foal
should, as soon as being able to
stand up, take 4 good draught at the
"colostrum" or first milk of the mare.
This milk or colostrum has purgatine
qualities which discharge from the
elementary tract the focal material
which collected within during foetus
life. II the foal does not naturally
pass the focal matter then give a
gentle purgative of castor oil.
With the elementary tract cleared
the foal can utilize the natural milk
which follows. The young foal will
naturally at first gain weight and
strength, and make a good growth.
The owner Of the mare should know
the condition under which the dam
must follow.
Ii the dam is not able to supply
the proper amount of nourishment the
foal will not make the proper growth
and development. The mare should
have n good pasture grass, but if this
/ is not available some concentrates,
such as rolled barley, oats or wheat
bran with some corn should be added.
The first few days after foaling, the
mare should be in a box stall and a
small lot, with simple feed and not
too abundant.
In seven to ten days the mare and
foal may be turned to pasture; but
protect them from the inclemencies of
the weather. Keep under favorable
conditions, Ind the mare and foal will
hI: .cs themselves, but use watch
a,aess .or the first appearance of
iiferent ailments. Diarrhoea is one
II the most common troubles, and
should be checked at once. The cor
receives for this are as follows:
Boiled milk, parched -four, or a
cruel. These materials are simple
and can be used most successfully.
Constipation, another ailment, may be
relieved by the use of castor oil.
At the age of two months, the foal
should acquire a taste for grain. AS
soon as the colt begins to eat readily,
enough to keep the dam out, and the
foal will pass below. Thus, it will
soon get the habit of feeding from
the regular trough. Keep the ra-
tions, and especially the oats, well
supplied.
By using this system, the colt, will
at weaving time, be easy to wean,
and then they do not miss their dams
The foals are usually weaned at the
age of five or six months old. At
weaving time increase the rations
and the foals will make good growth
and later mature into a good grade Of
horses.

Clay Tallman, chief Of the U. S.
Land Office at Washington, says:
Il am opposed to any system Of regu-
lated grazing, which contemplates
setting aside great areas in some form
of grazing reserve with respect 10
which the public land laws should no
longer be operative. believe that
settlement and development by hon.
steaders should be allowed to proceed
so long as lands are available for that
purpose. For instance, in the Pueblo
land district alone more than 3,000,-
900 acres of land was taken up in the
past five years, and had it been set
aside for grazing reserves-such as
it was only thought good for thirty
years ago-the increased deveopment,
population and use coming from this
settlement would have been prevent
ed or greatly reduced"

Raising vegetables and grain at an
altitude Of 9400 may seem an impossi-
Bile feat to some people unacquainted
with the splendid growing qualities
Of our section of the country, but
nevertheless, it is being done. As
proof, o. f. Thomas, who lives two
miles below Gothic at the above alti-
tude, raised volunteer potatoes this
season, which produced as many as
fourteen 10 a hill. Mr.. Thomas also
raised at the above place sugar beets
and yellow turnips weighing six lbs.
each. Timothy hay averaged from
two to three and one-half tons to the
acre in tnis altitude, and barley, forty
bushels to one acre. All the products
were raised under irrigation except
the barley, which does not grain well
II the straw is forced by irrigation.
Mr.. Thomas also raises all kinds of
garden truck on his place.
