RIohes From the Farm .

The haif-million dollar estate of
the late Governor Eaton who died
recently at Greeley, Colorado, en-
phssizes what may be done in this
state by close application to the soil.
Not that every farmer may expect
to amass the estate which was &C.
cumulated by Governor Eaton. But
his success is in large measure due to
his foresight in securing large tracts
of Colorado land and making them
productive.
He combined the attributes of a
successful farmer and business man.
He got the land and he knew how to
handle it to make himself rich. He
was by all odds at the time Of his
death the largest landowner in
Northern Colorado and was perhaps

the wealthiest farmer in the state.

Governor Eaton was q farmer for
profit. He was not an ornamental
agriculturalist who made his money
in railways or stocks and then spent
it on farm. He made his money
in the business of farming.
Hence his career offers an inte-
resting and instructive example of
two things; the profit to be made in
Colorado agriculture and the sdvsnt-
age OF stay lug with .ne soil. Very
few business men in this state carry.

to $500, 900 made as much net profit
every year as Governor Eaton usually
secured from his fields and farms in

No Mood to Get Excited.

In these days of loud talk and
Mysteries on the part Of the demo-
cratic politicians there is no need for
any republican to get wrought up in
the least. Fol- eight years these
same democrats have been busy
stealing and enjoying honors and
salaries which the majority OF the
voters had voted to republicans, and
now because the pendulum is swing
ing back a little they howl about
overthrowing the constitution and
will of the people. Did you ever
hear one of them howl when an
office was stolen for him9

For it is on such occasions, while

the terrors and discomforts of winter

The ideal climate is not one from

ovitably to lethargy and excavation.
But the ideal climate is one where
there is just enough cold and storm
