raise plenty of feed crops and keep
dairy cattle and hogs. Tables and
maps prepared by the State Imnligra-
tion Department for use in the Colo
RADIO Year Book show that in the
counties where agricultural develop
ment has been most rapid in the past
decade the number Of dairy cattle
and hogs is more than four times as
great as it was in 1912.
The total number Of dairy cattle
assessed In the state in 1912 was 66,-
I 273, while the number assessed in
1922 was 147,11s. The number Of
swine assessed in 1912 was 70,261,
and in 1922 1t had increased to 2O6,-
OF. In the same period the number
OF sheep assessed had decreased
from 1.352.OO0 to S02.274. Many cas-
tern Colorado counties which report
ed large numbers of sheep and almost
no dairy cattle and hogs in 1912 now
report few or no sheep and very con-
siderable numbers Of dairy cattle
and swine.
Baca county may be given as fair
example. In this county in 1912 there
were 40.591 sheep assessed. "a dairy
cattle and 327 swine. In 1922 the as
SCISSOR reported for taxation 2.770
sheep. 116 dairy cattle and S,S73
swine. Elbert county reported 1892
dairy cattle and 104 swine in 1912
and 6,155 dairy cattle and 1929 swine
in 1929. During the same period the
number Of sheep assessed in the
county decreased from 34,205 to 49,
5S4. In Kiowa county the number Of
sheep assessed decreased from 22,137
to 5.555 and the number of swine as.
sessed increased from 40 to 1,211.
The decrease in the number Of
sheep In eastern Colorado counties
in this period has been due chiefly to
the disappearance Of free govern
ment range and large pasture tracts
and the establishment of compara-
lively small farms in their place.
The sheep which were formerly pas
tured on the free range have been
replaced largely by dairy cattle and
hogs on farms At the same time
there has been an increase in the
number Of beef cattle produced. the
range cattle that formally were pas
tured in this section OF the state
having been replaced by young stock
and feeders that are fattened for
market here now instead OF being
prepared for the eastern feed lots as
was the case ten years ago. The
number Of beef cattle assessed In the
state In 1919 was 70l.54? compared
with 1.ll:.:s9 in 1922.

SHOW CHARACTER OF METAL
Sparks Enable Expert to Make Sure
Determination Of stsel's Hard
ness and Quality.

A simple method Of approximate an.
alyzation OF metal has been introduced
In France recently. based upon the
sparks emitted when the steel II
pressed upon 4 grlndstone.
Each kind Of steel gives its own
characteristic shower Of sparks. from
which practice0 eye can judge Of its
hardness and quality. There are three
principal forms Of sparks. In the first.
the incandescent particle makes very
fine luminous threads. In the second.
the shower Is decorated with few ex.
pl0si0ns Of tiny 'shells." In the third.
the shower is made up Of these little
explosions In addition to these forms.
the expert classif,es the sparks BY their
color. red, yellcw cr white In a great
variety Of shnies. The grinding Is. Of
course, done In dark room.
A piece o: steei containing q little
carbon makes straight yellow lines: az
ths uou:c~t Of carbon increases expios.
re sparks appear and become nore
rrncrvus the more carbon there Is.
aud the straight rays diminish, In size
and number. Steels with u high. cur.
bon content give n short shower of
sparks, explosions taking place near
the extremity and all dazzling white.
Steels containing IS per cent tung.
stem give only few dark red rays.
Manganese steels give white sparks
with explosions ut the end and some
times In the middle. Clirome-tungsten
steel gives bright rcd and dark red rays
alternating with the white.
