Scarcity of Good Horses
Leading to Better Care

II. w. Clark, specialist In live stock
at the Colorado Agricultural college.
gives some good advice to farmers con-
corning the care Of mares. An extract
Of his report follows:
The fealing season has arrived and
the mares should be carefully handled.
The demand for good heavy horses can
no be supplied and all good colts are
needed. Heavy strainins and extremes
of ~exertlon should be avoided. The
mare can work every day to nearly
foaling time II carefully handled and
fed.
The Golden Rule put into opera
ton now Will work wonders. At fosl-
ing time the mare should be kept In a
clean. comfortable place. and as much
personal attention given as Ia possible
TO give.
The colts navel should be treated
Immediately with a d~isinfectant to pre-
vent infection and the mother fed care
fully and not put to work again too
When put to work. she should
be allowed to take II easy"

Immature Lambs
Are Not Wanted
Serious Danger of Cutting
Market With Low-Grade
Product.

Prepared by the United States Department
OF Axrisulturs.l
Unless young and immature lambs
are kept at home for further develop
ment and finishing there is serious
danger OF Cutting the market with a
low-grade product which can only re-
suit Ia severe price Declines" Is the
warning sounded to shippers by the
Committee of Trade Interests COM
posed Of live stock commission men,
slaughterers. retailers, railroads,
stock-yard companies at jersey City
and New York, eastern lamb produc-
ers. and the United States Department
of Agriculture. appointed last summer
to bring about stabilixation of the
Jersey City lamb market
Receipts Have Been Light
The committee states that receipts
have been light since the market
movement of eastern lambs began In
May and that there is a noticeable
tendency on the part of shippers to
market a large percentage OF young
and Immature lambs because Of the
rather high prices which such lambs
have brought. These prices have lnnu-
enced country shippers to pick lower
down In their iocks than usual. there
by increasing the percentage OF light
weight. immature lambs ia the market
receipts. 1t IL said.
Lower prlcss VIII Result.
Recent arrivals at Jersey City In
clude from Is to 50 per cent OF lmma-
ture lambs, the reports show. Despite
a rather strong demand receipts from
western markets have been unusually
light and prices have shown CORE
spending strength. But IL shippers
continue 10 send immature and other
wise inferior lambs to market during
the period when receipts are heavy.
sharp price declines will be inevitable.
the committee says.
Information received by the Depart
Of Agriculture indicated a heavy
prospective movement of lambs from
eastern and southern territory to mar
ket during the latter part of June and
In July. This is the period when price
fluctuations are usually most severe,
the department says, due moro TO the
of the receipts than to the
inasmuch as Jersey City and
New York usually a absorb all the
good lambs offered. Heavy receipts
generally include a large percentage
Inferior grades comprising "culls."
light weight and "bucky" lambs which
.annot be moved except at a sacrifice.

he better grades. It is pointed out.

sun RIVER IRRIGATION
R0JECTT0BEHM|SHE
Government Viii Spend From Three
To Four Million Dollars and
Add $1,000 Acres


An expenditure of between
three and four million dollars
and the addition of 10000 acres
Of land to the Sun River irri-
cation project, north of Great
Falls Is seen In the completion
OF the Greenfields division of
that great irrigation project
which will be carried out In the
very near future. according to
Miles Cannon, field reclamation
commissioner of Washington, ID.
G. The announcement that the
government would complete this
division was made by Mr.. Can
non following a meeting OF the
land owners of the district at
which resolutions piedging CO.
operation with the government
and use of water were adopted.
The plan for completing the pro-
ject In this district includes add
fIA dbVUl UNIV HtitS vi intu "
the district, giving II 100000
acres under ditch. Fulfillment
of the plans of the reclamation
service will entail an expendi-
ture OF between three and four
million dollars, and take some
three years of active construc-
tIon work. The present condI-
ton OF the district Is very I'M
satisfactory to the department,
1t Is alleged. More than three
million dollars has already been
spent and OF the hundred thou
sand acres within the project
only about forty thousand are
supplied with water and those
inadequately. This is due TO the
fact that shortly after the pro-
ject was started the state ex-
perlenced a series of wet years
and landowners In the district
lost interest In Irrigation. They
did not purchase water and the
department lost interest In the
project.

Cover Crops in Orchard
Not Easy to Get Started

In growing cover crops In an
orchard, the grower should be guided
In the choice of crops by his local con-
ditions and the age or sizs Of the
trees. Where the ground Is complete
ly shaded by the trees, II is di1icuIt In
many Instances to obtain q stand Of
crops like vetch and clover. 1t is less
20 with alfalfa and rye. While alfalfa
has been the ~favorite crop with the
growers. II has one drawback which
should not be lost sight of. In the
first place, the grower is generally I'M
willing TO turn under . crop Of alfalfa
and destroy the plants. He usually
permits the alfalfa to grow In the
orchard for several years. While the
alfalfa tends to stimulate tree growth
during the first two or three years, II
soon has . bad effect upon fruit pro-
duction, and an orchard in bearing
should not be left In alfalfa for more
than three o. four years.

With Tankage for Hogs

Barley IL an efficient feed for hogs
when fed with tankags and IL almost
equal to corn In f~attening them for

at the New York college Of agricul-
ture at Ithaca. A recent feeding trial
with six lots OF eight hogs each
showed that barley was more than 90
per cent an eficient ~ corn In feeding.
Barley was found also to produce 4
good 1rm quality of pork.
Two lots OF hogs were fed corn and
tankage. two lots barley and tankags.
and two lots corn. barley and tankags.
For three of the lots the feed uas
MIXED before being put into the feeder.
and in the other three the hogs were
given their choice Of feed available.
The hogs allowed to follow their apps
tiles ate an excessive amount Of tank
age, but the combinations Of corn, bar
ley and tankass gave excellent feeding
vNiuas. i
When barley IL cheaper by the hun
dred than corn, the cost Of gain In
weight may be kept down BY forcing
the hogs to eat more barley BY mixing
with the corn and tankass. The
