Page asked for a formal interview;

A good deal has been heard recently
about the appearance of ghosts on
land. Many a village has its haunted
house or lane. duly regarded with
varying degrees Of awe by the inhab-
itants.
This being so. 1t is not surprising
that the sea also possesses its quota of
legendary uncanniness.
There is the famous Flying Dutch

wrath decreed that he should forever

Another strange seaghost story Is
that during January. 1647, vessel
left New Haven, Conn, but was never
heard of again.
One evening in the following June,
after a severe storm. she was seen
coming mp the river. The inhabitants
were overjoyed at her return, but
something uncanny was noticed about
her, especially as she was sailing
against the wind
To the onlookers' CONSERVATION. she

Longfellow has marked the occurrence
in poetry:

Right against the wind that blew.
Until the eye could distinguish

Sllage In Ration for Ewes Proves
Profitable

"A preliminary experiment at the
ooiorado Experiment Station in feed
ing siiage to ewes along with alfalfa
nay showed lbs, more gain for silaee.
Ieo ewes than those fed alfalfa alone.
Lambs from silage-fed ewes weighed
Ia 10. more at birth and averaged lbs.
heavier one month after lambing ended.
Neither lot received grain till the end
OF the lambing period. Allowing 8
cents per lb., for gains on lambs and
ewes and valuing hay at sl4.OO, the
sllage was worth Sc. so per ton for
wintering ewes.
AT the Purdue Station, in three years
trial, ewes gained more when fed silaee
WIN hay, compared with hay alone and
their lambs weighed slightly more.
Yaiulng the hay at $500 per ton, the
siiage was worth So. 20 per ton. At the
Iowa Experiment Station ewes fed a
ration of corn silage with a small
amount of oats and brand produced
lambs weighing 500 lbs. at birth and
all strong and healthy. Ewes fed
clover hay alone for roughage with
some corn, oats and brand produced
lambs weighing s.l9 lbs, but cost !. 81
cents per day as compared to .7s cents
per day for the silage lot. Ewes fed
corn silage with clover hay and little
oats and brand produced lambs weigh
ing o.63 lbs. and the feed cost l. O2
cents per day.
These figures should be sufficient to
show the high value of corn silage for
breeding ewes,
Corn silage is not especially adapted
to fattening lambs, although when fed
with clover or alfalfa, it will give salts
factory results. When fed as the only
roughage. lambs gain slowly even with
full corn and cotton seed meal grain
ration. Corn silage with alfalfa or clo-
yer hay and with corn as the grain ra-
ton depending largely on the prices put
on the hay and silage. Where silage
takes the place of part of the alfalfa, a
little cotton seed meal or oil meal should
ee added to keep the ration balanced

COLORADO IMPROVING
AS AN AGRICULTURE.
AL STATE.

er and Consumer for January
publishes a lengthy and au-
thentlc article on the growth
of cereals up to date, from
which we clip the following
paragraphs:
Wheat is'now without cues.
ton Colorado's leading crop,
both IN acreage and in total
value. While the acreage of
most standard crops grown
here has been increasing verv
steadily for several years, the
acreage of wheat has been in
creasing much more rapidly
than that for any other crop.
In 1909 the census bureau re-
ported 34o,729 acres of wheat
harvested in the state. In 1910
the same bureau reported L.
32S,ooo acres Of wheat har-
vested, and in 1922 was 34.68
per cent of the acreage devot-
ed to all crops, or slightly
more than ene-third of the
entire cultivated acreage.
wcnty years ago it was
thought that wheat could not
be grown successfully in Col
orado without irrigation. At
present 50 per cent of all the
wheat grown in the state is
non irrigated.
Corn ranks next to wheat in
acreage for Colorado. 1t has
not been many years ago since
even Colorado people were
convinced that corn could not
be grown here successfully.
Colorado is not a corn state
was the sentiment expressed
by most agriculturists, even
after it began to be admitted
that Colorado might some day
be an agricultural state. 1t
was argued that the season is
too short here for corn and
the nights are much too cool.
But experience has shown
that corn is the states best
forage and silage crop, and in
some sections of eastern Col
orado corn is grown for grain
that compares very tavorably
with the best corn grown in
the country.
As Colorado is an import
ant livestock state and at pres
ent fattens most of its livestock
for the packers markets, it
follows that the production OF
hay and forage crops here IS
large. Alfalfa and
hay is grown, and wild hay is
cut in large quantities, chiefly
in the mountain parks and on
the creek and river bottoms.
The total area devoted to all
hay crops is above 100000
acres.
