itertalnment for the benefit of ST. Joseph's

night, November24 This will be the TWEEN
;ty-f1rst affair Of this kind given under the

refreshment booths than before. and more
space will be given to the supper room

nlsned by large band, under the leader

Banner Year for the Farmer.

This Is expected to be q banner wear for
tire Colorado farmer for everything has
been in his favor. and he will celebrate
Thanksgiving with full pocket book. as
well as a full heart, and it is expected that
the results will bring in thousands of i'm
migrants and materially enhance the value
Of farming land. which is now already worth
from $50 to 800 per acre wherever irriga-
tion can reach 1t. Most of the farms are
small. and compared with eastern states the
acreage under cultivation is limited. In
deed, twenty acres is considered as much
land as one man and team can cultivate,
but under the system of intensified" farm
ing that land produces about the same
YIELD regularly. so that the only risk is In
the market. or course, the farmer cannot
control prices; he is entirely at the mercy
of the dealers, and the dealers are con-
trolled By the law of supply and demand.
II the markets are flooded with hay wheat
melons, vegetables and fruit, prices must
profits reduced accordingly But there Is
never any failure of water. and there is
never any lack of sunshine. which are the
most important considerations next to his
own industry and intelligence.
A fool cannot farm any better than he
can do anything else. and II is the last
thing a lazy man should think of taking
up. To succeed in intensified farming
man must work Just hard and get up
just early as he would be compelled to
do In any other kind and he must mix his
brains with the water and the seed. In
telligence and industry are necessary for
success In every occupation, but In none
are they more essential than In farming.
The Disorder in Colorado.
There Is an impression among the people
OF Colorado that the reputation of the state
las suffered because of the recent mining
troubles; that people in the east suppose
that the riots they have read about In the
newspapers have extended over the entire
area, and that life and property have every
where been imperiled. That is great mis-
take. l do not think such an impression is
well founded. but it will do no harm to say
that the recent disturbances We're confined
to the Cripple Creek mining district; that
those which occurred six years ago were
confined to the Leadville district and mat
the rest OF the state no more affected
by them and really not so much as the
prairie farms of Illinois by the recent strike
