Bostwlck, I'arshall, Colorado: "Will you be kind enough to furnish ma with what Information you havo avail able on the subject of grasses suitable for this location; best methods of seed ing; preparation of the soil, etc.?" In tho vicinity of I'arshall, Colorado, the best grass for haying purposes i3 timothy. A much better combination Is made by using timothy and alslko. About 15 pounds of timothy and 5 or 0 pounds of alslko inako a cry good mixture. Besides theso two crops, brome grass, or Iiromis biennis, does well In your locality. Upon tho farmof Lotris Kick, situated within a short distance ol your farm, brome grass has been doing wonderftillj well. Meadow Fescufl will do well also in your locality. From our oxp-! nee with tho grasses and from an obsrvince of the native vegetation, wo would say that the timothy anJ biomo grass aro the two bust nii'inb .s of the grass family foi jour ' . v Tho bromo grass will thrlo wlt'i Mmothy ami alslko undet good co- o of irrigation which ustHly p-' .: on Undeveloped farms of tuat coin nunlty. A disk grain drill with grass scedei attachment Is .as good a tool to be used as any. The soli should bo prepared pre-pared by deep plowing. Tho plowing should be followed with tho disk and peg tooth harrow, If possible the same half day, In order to work the furrow slice down Into a good, wolt-mollowed I seed bed bofore It has time to dry out or lose Its tilth. If seeded alone, about 20 pounds of brome grass should bo U3ed per acre. If seeded with the other combination, the amount varies with the proportion it Is desired to obtain. A very good combination is brome grass IS pounds and alslke 5 pounds. Another good combination is bromo grass 12 pounds, timothy 10 to 12 pounds, and alslke 5 to 0 pounds. It Is well to harrow lightly after the drill. ' Tho land should bo well Irrigated but should not bo kept Hooded. There is a notion pre ilent In the vicinity ol I'arshall tint hay can only bo grown wheru It Is st'i't Hooded. This view is erroneous. 'I he land should be well , Irrigated, then the water should be withdrawn until the crop is needing , moisture when It should be Irrigated ' again. Altl mrh this Is contrary tc tho views i i i nv ranchmen, It Is borno out I L.'.perlciu'e and experiment. experi-ment. , I Fr ZD1NG CALVES I "eplj (j'V. T. Tubnek, Chilo, O. ' We have j our letter of recent date in which you ask for some Information i on feeding calves, but you do not state , hoy old your calves aro. Young calves should bo fed on whole milk for soma time, and changes In their feed should be made gradually. After a week or ten days the whole milk feed maybe changed to one of half skim and half whole milk. Decrease tho whole milk until you are feeding the call entirety on skim milk. It is well to have a quantity of grain convenient so that the calf will have an opportunity oppor-tunity to learn to eat as early ai possible. 1 1 probably will not learn to eat grain tor some little time. This may bo hastened, howevoi, by mixing a small amount of bran with ttie milk, or you may atld a small quantity o( low -grade Hour. Skim milk contains some more protein and carbohydrate than whole milk, so for feeding It is best to pick a grain that will not supply largo quantities of these materials. In some Instances valves may docry woll on highly-concentrated feed, but these feeds are usually very expensive, and there are other substitutes that are Just as good. Usually no hater results can be obtained Iron, high-priced concentrates con-centrates than from feeding such grain as corn, katllr corn, sorghum, barley or oats. The following mixtures have been found to give very good satisfaction: satis-faction: Wholo oats and bran. Whole oats, corn, barley, and bran. A mixture of IS pounds of wholo oats, 9 pounds of bran, .'I pounds of corn meal, and 3 pounds of Unseed meal Is also a ory good feed for calves. Together with these concentrates i tho young and growing calf should have plenty of fresh water, and bo allowed to play In the sun. It should alBO have free access to good clover or alfalfa hay If these are not available, avail-able, timothy hay and corn fodder are perhaps the next best. If jou have a silo, small quantities of ensilage will keep the calf In good condition during the winter mouths. If the call docs not gain when taking the whole milk, It should be weaned. Try half skim and half whole milk for a while, Sometimes the addition of a spoonful of lime water to each feed will correct the difficulty Calves may suffer from scours when , put on grass but usually there will bo very little dltllculty If they are allowed 1 to feed but a short time at first, then I gradually increasing the period each i day until they become accustomed to the change Sudden changes of feet) I are not good and should be avoided.
