All public spirited citizens in
the county, whether farmer, ranch- i

to making roads. j
The county has bean divided in- j

Into smaller districts in charge of i
captains. :
For uniformity we request that t
everyone be at their allotted point t
oji the road not later than nine „
o'clock in the morning.
Bring a team if you can. Also j
all the tools you have. You will
need plows, scrapers and shovels. t
Bring extra tools to supply those ,
who have none. No heavy grad- t
ing will be attempted. Special at
tention will be given to culvert
crossings, filling chuck holes and
opening up drain ditches.
Automobile owners are solicited
to furnish their cars for carrying
the men from place to place.
If you cannot give a day’s work,
contribute to the fund which we
need for continuing our campaign
of dragging and improving our
roads. Send all remittances to W
D. O’Neil, secretary at Lamar.
Remember that good roads arc
for everybody and any help that
you will give will benefit your

A MODEL DAIRY
Tile Green .Mountain K O/u* of tin.*
Two llest Dairies in tin* Stage
We had the pleasure in company
with Mr. A. Maxwell of Inspecting
Mr. E. H. Gr> gg's Green Mountain
Dairy Just a short distance eaM
»f town the past week. The platfx
ind arrangements all through show
hat Mr. Gregg has made a care
ful and thorough study of the bus
iness and has prepared all the de
tails of hi* plant in aniont ltigen
uh and scientific manner. From
he feed lot la) thorugh the
-(tables and buildings the mind is 1
ill the time Impressed that the
two most prominent features of his
rheme are .cleanliness and econo
my in handling. Even In the feed
lot where 100 cows daily eat all the
alfalfa they desire there 1* a con
dition of order and cleanlineos that
is marvelous.
Mr. Gregg has arranged his
>wn system of hay racks so that
the animals can get all they wish
but <aji»ot waste. This arrange
ment is carried also into the
where from 70 to 80 cows
ire fed on pulp and bran and then
milked with *o little waste or odor
ipparent as not to offend the most
fastidious. It Is a sight well worth
lie trip aJone to see the seventy
>dd coa-s each come in at their
>wn door and take their respective
•laces without a hitch. We won’t
•lalm that Mr. Gregg and hi* help
ers have taught them to read, but
their name* are on their stalls
md they find them. The cows are
mostly Jerseys and Holstein*. The
(tables have been enlarg'd several
into* since the dairy wan started
only a fow year* ago, but plans
ire now being made for a new ad
lition which ha* become necessary.
The nows are as healthy and as-fine
i looking bunch of stock a» can
be seen anywhere, and they are
kept in the pink of condition. The
•ane taken of them 1* evident not
only In their looks but their actions
rvlso.
While the room* for the hand
ling and bottling of the milk are
iandy to the stable they are aep
vrated by thick walls and tight
doors so that it Is impossible for
.iny of the odors of the stable to
reach the room for handling the
milk. The straining and cooling
and bottling department have been
specially arranged by Mr. Gregg
and his assistant*, and the state
inspector of dairies ha* pjissed the
Judgment on this department that
It with one dairy in Denver con
stitute a cla*s by themselves a*
the only perfectly arranged dairies
in the suite. Every possible care
is tak n here not only to see that
he milk Is kept pure and whole
some, but that the milk of the var
ious cow* Is so mixed that the
•ustomer* will get equally rich
milk. The full amount of milk
to accomodate the customers 1* bot
’ed before the separator is start
ed to All the orders for cream.
The dairy we patronize l« °ne of
those thing* in life which we wish
i to have above suspicion even, and
we believe any fair minded I
person who wflj visit Mr. Orcgg’s 1
place, look It over ami talk with the
men will leave with bis mind fully
made up tiiat the Green Mountain
Dairy is above suspl ion, and It i*
Mr. Gregg’* desire that ull his
patron* and other* will visit hint
at any time they please and sue all
the arrangements of the place. If
a visit is made ut about 3 o’clock
in the afternoon all the detail* of
handling of the milk can he inspect
ed, ami he inform* us that he
would like for all hi* customers
to see for themselves, aud they
can be assured of the most court
: con* treatment.
The institution has grow® Into
I a very important one for the town
ulho a* It employs from six to eight
nun all the time and sometimes
more. It requires about 500 ton*
of alfalfa •*« . beside* -puH*
and other feed and supplies, and
all of this is purchased of the
farmers and business men here.
In connection with the dairy he
also runs a creamery where he
makes butter from his surplu*
cream a* well a* from a great deal
juore which he purchases from tho
farmers. There are few who have
not visited thin dairy that have
conception of how large or how
perfect In detail It is.

pulverise. It 1* advisable to har
row your plowing not later than
one half day after the furrows arc
turned. This parks the k»»e grounc
and forms a mulch on the surface
thus preventing unnecessary evapor
atlou. As soom as the plowing of
the Individual field has been finish
ed. thorough cross harrowing
should be practiced. In the mean
time, however, the /necessary level
ing should be done.
The number of times a pl<*« oJ
ground should bo harrowed depend/
upon the condJlion and nature of
the soil. However, all ground be
fore planting, should be thorough
ly pulverized to the depth of tlw
plow furrow. The packLug and
leveling, as well, varies Ln different
fields, but the ground shouid be
sufficiently firm that it does not
dry out to the seed depth, and
therefore a good capillary attrac
tion of the subsoil moisture is ob
tained. and this can only be bad by
the ground being firm.
