RETURN OF SEEPAGE WATER
SHOWS ANNUAL INCREASE

Agricultural College News-Notes:-
Without exception all Of the irriga.-
ed valleys Of Colorado exhibit, in a
greater or less degree, the return Of
percolztIng water from higher eleva-
lOns where the water has been ep-
piled in the form OF irrigation l.
Is generally accepted that the extent
Of these returning waters has increas-
Cd from year 10 year, due partly &c
the extension Of the irrigation systems
which include = larger irrigated area
but mostly TO the general rise OF the
water-table over greater arcas. From
tests made By borings or wells sunk
70 water bearing strata during the
early stages Of the development Of
irrigation. Il has been observed that
the then-eEisting ground water level
was IN most cases 1t Z considerable
depth below the surface. IL has also
been noted that the general ground
water level has been raised each year,
and in some cases this has been from
depths Of 100 feet or even more 10
within a few feet Of or even up TO
the surface.
Before the advent OF irrigation, this
ground water surface had attained J
definite elevation, within small limits,
and the only causes affecting the
water-table would be the natural alb
sorption Of the precipitation, general
meteorological changes of the under
ground strata Over a period of a
great number of years the mean rain
fall and temperature would not change
greatly from the actual yearly con-
dition hence the yearly fluctuations OF
the water-table would be small. Ora.
vitational force tends TO cause this
water beneath the ground to assume
level surface, but due TO the resist
anoe offered to the movement of the
water by the soil particles, it is found
that the actual ground-water surface
is not level but approximates, an gen
eral the ground surface. II is no.
uncommon to find places where this
water-table actually cuts near or thru
the ground surface, causing a seeped
or water-logged condition, or permit
ting the accumulation of water in the
form Of bog or slough. Due to the
atmospheric exposure these spots will
vary in degree of saturation.

SklM MILK FOR CALVES
AND UPPLEMENTAL FEEDS

Agricultural College News-Notes:-
Whole milk may make a better calf
than skim milk, but not necessarily a
better COW. Skim milk is the Who'll.
H.k after the fat has been removed
b. the farm separator, as we all know,
80 We must supplement the skim milk
with those feeds which are high In
energy-giving food nutrients, which
We call carbohydrates and fat. Such
supplements are corn meal kafir meal.
ground barley and like foods. The
following may be suggested in the
feeding of skim milk to calves:
Ration No.
Gunnison news-champion., 1923-05-25
Ration No. 2

Corn meal or kafir meal may be
substituted for the ground barley in
the above grain mixture.
The calf should nurse its mother for
the first few days, after which time
1t should be fed by hand. II the heif-
er is heavy mixer, it will be neees-
sary to see that the calf does not get
an over-feed of milk. The stomach of
a calf at this time is not very large
and over-feeding of milk predisposcs
to digestive troubles.
In teaching the calf to drink from a
bucket, push the calf gently into a
corner, being careful not to scare it
any more than is necessary. Into the
bucket put about three pints of its
mothers milk, being sure that the
milk is fresh and warm. Place two
fingers into the calfs mouth, and when
it starts to suck the fingers, lower the
nose into the bucket.
As the stomach of the calf is quite
small, about five or six pounds of
milk is all that will be necessary in
the beginning. As the calf grows, this
amount is very gradually increased
1t will not be necessary to feed over
eight to ten pounds daily to q Guern-
sey or Jersey calf during the first
three or four weeks. Calves of the
larger breeds will require from ten
to twelve pounds daily during the
same period. Feed the milk as fresh
as possible and at blood temperature.
This temperature should be determin-
ed by thermometer aid not merely
by guess.

are little bigger than moths. Despite
their small size, they are arrayed in
