SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTS.

II demonstration amounts to any
thing, then dry farming can be sue
c~essfully carried on in southeastern
Wyoming. The crops planted and cul
tiyated under the Campbell system
! near this city by Mr.. T. j. Dayton
Mr. Van Buskirk and others have prov
ed more than they anticipated and they
expect to obtain "A return from thelr
first crop which will pay for their land
and their labor. The oats, the maca-
ronl wheat, the barley and the pota-
toes are doing particularly well.
At Cheyenne, too, the experiments
have proved very successful. At From
tier park the dry farm committee has
a crop of macaroni wheat, barley, oats,
alfalfa and potatoes that would do
credit to most any country, and at the
government experiment farm, there
are excellent crops of the products
mentioned, as well as field peas, rye
and Russian alfalfa. The field peas
that have been grown without irriga-
ton are looking fine, or the two kinds
of rye, winter and spring, the winter
is probably the better crop, but both
are good.
Since n large sun of money has beer
expended in making these experiments

been kept and no matter what kind OF
bulletins may be written and circulat-
ed. the demonstrations made will not
receive the publicity they are entitled
to unless some steps are taken to get
farmers and others interested to make
n personal examination. The Union
Pacific, the Burlington n the Colora-
do and Southern have expended con
siderable money in making the expert
ments at Cheyenne, They know where
to get the right people to advertise the
demonstrations made. Why would it
not be good policy for the roads men,
toned, operating with the government
and the dry farm committee at Chey-
enne, to organize an excursion of say
one hundred farmers from Colorado
Kansas and Nebraska, and bring them
to wyoming to look Owe the crops
raised without irrigation? The other
walton of such men would so farther
through their talk after they had re
turned home than all the bulletins that
could be printed. The bulletins are a
good thing, but seeing is believing"
One farmer talking with his neighbors
about what he saw in Wyoming would
do more good than many reports, for
the very good reason that farmers are
not a class of people who send out for
reading matter and take the time to
digest it. They do talk with their
neighbors and are always ready to lis.
ten to reports from new sections where
land is cheap.
Possibly this matter might be taken
up at the time of the Frontier days
show and every facility given outsiders
to make a personal examination of the
crops being raised.
One thing is certain, Wyoming can
not now afford to lose the benefit of
the great demonstration that has been
made.

THEIR LONG HIKE

WILL BE CUT OUT.
The Twelfth and Nineteenth batter
les of field artillery, which it was re-
ported would make a long $50 mile
march to the Crow creek maneuver
grounds, will escape this hardship, not
relished by the artillerists, says the
Cheyenne Tribune.
The batteries arrived at Fort Rus.
sell a short time ago from Fort Doug
las, Utah, after a 5O0-mile march and
have done their share for this year,
They will remain at Fort Russell until
August list and then march direct to
the maneuver grounds. The batteries

cago had a little weaker trade in
beeves today, the good to choice steers
here held fully steady, top being $6.O5

today's run were about fifty cars of
grassers. Some choice steers from the
North park country, which had been
hay fed late and turned on grass sold
at $5.35, very choice.
Wyoming Cattle Sold.
A small shipment of Wyoming

Heavy stock Wanted.
While there is some inquiry for
stockers and feeders, the best demand
is for the heavier weight stock. The
grass cattle offered SO far have been
in good flesh, and judging from today's
run the cattle no doubt will carry con,
siderable flesh. The trade is in good
condition at the present time, and ear
ly shipments no doubt will be handled
at a strong figure. There Is every
prospect at present for good liberal
yields in all crops. However, as usual
when the heavy runs commence, it is
not at all likely prices win be sustain.

Some Sheep Quotations.
There are a few orders for feeders,

Gov. Mcdonald says good times
are the best prevention of crime.
He has pardoned a less number
of criminals than any governor in
the states history, and yet the
population of the peniteptiary
has been reduced in two years
from 733 to COG. "I'll tell you
what did it," says the governor,
1T is because the state is pros
porous. Everybody can get work
at good wages and nobody has to
steal or forge for a living. You
let a period of hard times strike
us and you'll find that our peni-
tentiary population will begin to
grow Immediately"

road appropriations and thus enable the
commissioners to keep number of
road graders going thru the summer
months. Many thousands of dollars

Figures have just been given out
from Washington showing that during
the quarter ending September 80, 3,982
entries were made on government lands
in Colorado. Such figure has not
been reached in years, if ever before.
These entries at an average of l5O
acres each represent q total of about
$40, 900 acres, or approximately two av-
erage counties of an eastern state,
They will help to show the rate at
which Colorado is growing. While it 10

tion Of the state is filling up rapidly
under the impulse of farm land boom,
it may surprise many to know that the
entries made in some OF the mountains
were almost equal to those on the
plains. The Glenwood land office, for
instance, records 3l2 entries and Mont
rose, 2l3, while Durango has 239. Hugo,
the center of the dry land movement on
the plains registered 920; Pueblo, SIT;
Lamar, 3l2 and Sterling, $50, each

and yet the movement IN the mountain
valleys is all the more pronounced be-

nothing to be thankful for yes
terday is a poor stick. Such a
one has no realization of the JOY
of living, no comprehension OF
the mercifulness of God and no
appreciation of the beauties OF
the world He has given us to
live in.
We have been thinking about
what it is we enjoy for which we
should be the most thankful.
What IS the greatest blessing?
Is it wealth, knowledge, health?
The list of possibilities is too long
to enumerate, but we believe a
majority of people would say
health is the greatest blessing.
1t seems to us the man who never
has an ache or a pain, who can
work without becoming wearied,
whose physical organism is ever
in such perfect condition that his
mind is always clear and COM
prehends every situation at a
glance: such a one should make
the greatest success in life.
The man without a cent, but
blest with perfect health, GER
tainly had more to be thankful
for yesterday than the millionaire
with poor stomach or a weak
heart.
Work is the next best blessing.
And yet, how weary we get OF
labor. But that is on account of
too constant attention to duty,
without opportunity for relaxa-
ton. If you want to get a little
taste of hell on earth just try
doing nothing. God evidently
intended that all should work and
He arranged that the mind should
not be at peace unless it is active.
An idle mind is the devils best
workshop" is an old but true
saying. We find if human beings
do not work in one way, they
are, in spite of themselves
working in another way. If moi
engaged in good work they are
invariably doing bad deeds
Humanity cannot get away from
activity of some kind. There
fore, to labor at something W,
like to do, wherein the produc
of our activity can be commended
by fellow beings, is one of life'
great blessings.

lot to do and no half dozen of
the faithful should be expected

wide awake and fully alive to
the work in hand at every turn
of the road. 1t should meet
regularly and should commence
business promptly at the hour
designated without any monkey
business attachments. 1t should
not be run in a horse-play fashion,
but strictly from the standpoint
of BUSINESS. Its membership
should comprise every merchant,
professional man and mechanic

farmers in the country. No
lawyer should be too big, no
doctor too professional and no
business man too busy to hold
membership in the organization.

The Western Slope will have

great while and we believe
sufficient acreage can be secured
for 1908 with the right kind of
hustle. There will be competi-
ton and plenty of it to secure
this factory. Montrose and Olathe
will both want it and they will
want it bad. Delta has many
natural advantages over its COM
petitors for this factory, but ma
tural advantages are not going
to do the whole turn. The town
that gets it will have to hustle.
Delta can get that factory if it is
alive and awake, but it can lose
it by going to sleep. What will
we do about it? 1t is up to you

sional Man, Mr.. Farmer. It is
