raising good horses. He explained
how to feed and handle draft colts
to make them weigh the most
and sell for the highest prices
when matured. This address was
translated into Ute and was fol-
lowed with close attention by the
Indians.
The Indians then held council
and at its close heartily thanked
the college speakers and asked
that when another institute was
held, talks be given on proper
methods of irrigating each crop
and of building better. houses.
The Indians then adjourned and
left the grounds and an institute
was held for the white people
present. Mr.. Grubb made talk
on the advantages of an education
for the farmers and Prof. Cottrell
showed the profits from hog rails
ing in Colorado.
Miss Florence King, who won
second prize in Prof. Olin's con-
test for the largest yield and best
quality of wheat, was presnt and
told the audience of her methods.
At the close of the institute, the
Indians wanted to furnish enter
tainment for the college speakers
and gave war dance in full cos
tune. This was followed by sew
eral exciting horse races.

A Safe and Profitable Invest
ment.

The success or failure in tinan-
cial affairs depends not SO mnch
upon the amount of money earned
each month, as upon the way in
which the money is handled. The
secret lies in the way in which
that money is handled. The Sec
ret lies in the ability to make ev-
cry dollar invested bring two or
three in return in comparatively
short period of time. 1t has been
found that the cultivation and
handling of tropical fruits in
countries where climate is suitable,
soil productive and labor cheap,
offers such opportunities. The
Tampico Fruit company, consist
ing of careful and reliable business
men from Utah has purchased
1000 acres in the state of Vera
Cruz, in Mexico, and are offering
it to the people under conditions
that cannot but be profitable to
the people. That there are great
profits derived from the develop
ment of tropical lands is attested
by the fact that the United
Fruit company began in 1903,
with capital of $4,000 and are
now paying Z per cent. dividends

farmers near Fountain, report that
they average from 50 to So per
month per COW from the sale of
cream.
The mild weather through the
fall and winter in Colorado, makes
dairying at this season more profit
able than it is in states east, giving
the Colorado dairymen the advan-
tage of cheap feed and shelter at a

Colorado has ideal conditions
for dairying, over "a large part of
the state. The climate is dry and
cool. The winters are mild and
dry. The native grasses are rich
in reproducing food, and, in
most sections of the state, the eli
mate is such that the grass cures
right where it grows, atfording nu-
tritious pasture both summer and
winter.
Alfalfa is one of the best milk
producing feeds grown, and it
yields well both on dry and on ir-.
rigated land up to an altitude of
5000 to 1900 feet and from $500
feet altitude and upward, field
peas give heavy yields of hay, that
as milk producing feed, is sec
ond only to alfalfa.
In grain feeds for milk produc-
ton, Colorado has large yields of
oats, barley and speltz, and it is
one of the best root-producing
states in the Union Sugar beets
and mangels yield well up to 1900
feet altitude, and large yields of
high quality of turnips and ruta
bagas are raised up as high as
$500 feet.
Two-thirds of the state has
spring water from mountain SHOWS
and in some sections, pure, cool
water from artesian wells is avail
able. The cool climate and pure,
dry air make it easier and less ex-
pensive to give milk, cream and
butter proper case than it is at
lower attitudes.
There is some dairying being
done in the dry land section of

The institute was held in beau

THE Indians decorated the speak

on the table was vase filed with
the states tiower-the columbine.
The authorities at Washington
telegraphed an order for a special
issue of rations for ii picnic dinner
for the institute. and the Indians
were given the beef from 1,2OO
pound steer, 500 pounds of hard
tack, 1000 pounds of flour and all
the coffee they could use. The
squaws spent the morning prepar-
ing the feast. while the men at
tended the institute.
Surrounding the agency is one
of the best farming sections of the
state and the white farmers and
their families from this section
were invited to attend and over
100 were present at the opening
session.
When the morning session was
called. Chiefs Buckskin Charlie
and Sevaro, Agent Werner, Super
intendent Dunn, Interpreter Harry

sor Cottrell occupied seats on the
platform. The Indian farmers
took the front seats in the audi

ers, with their wives and children,
occupied the rear seats, the ladies

grass around the seats reclined the
squaws with their many children.
The women were dressed in red
apd blue and had bright colored
blankets, embroidered and beaded
leggings and moccasins. The young
babies were suspended on their
mothers backs in cradle boards,
many of these boards being beauti-

At the rear of the audience were
tied the ponies on which the In

the distance was tepe where an
Indian family was camped while
attending the institute.
The opening address was made
by Chief Buckskin Charlie, fam

farming and showed how profitable
it would be for the Indians.
Chief Sevara followed. telling
the Indians how much help they
could get from the college speak

the advice given them.
Agent Werner spoke of the
object of the institute and gave
information in regard to the col.

Mr.. Grubb described in plain

That the states of Vera Cruz
and Tamaulipus are suitable for
bananas, is certain from the fact
that they grow wild in abundance
also that the Mexican Banana
company has invested Sl20,00O
sixty miles above on the same riv-
er.
Edw. w. Perry, an expert in
bananas says: Bananas reach
their best estate on low, deep al
luvium, like that of the Caribbean
coast or that of southern Mexico
where the temperature never sinks
below sixty degrees and is seldom
below 80 degrees F.
Modern Mexico" magazine
published in the city of Mexico,
and translated in New York, says:
While the area in which banan-
as can be cultivated is limited in
extent, an expert claims that the
best land in the world for the pur-
pose lies in the northeastern part
of the state of Vera Cruz and the
southern part of the state of Tam
aulipas in Mexico, where the rich
alluvial soil which has been formed
by centuries of overflow, is unsur-
passed for the purpose"

ing to say regarding this section:

In the english field Of letters. one
after another the three Benson broth
ors have risen into fame The last
90 attract public attention. and the
one whose success Is probably the
most solid ana wel-merited, is Ar
tnur Christopher Benson First there
was tine novelist brother, VINO wrote
"Dodo." and has never since attained
she popularity that was his when tho
book was in its prime. Although he
mas written other novels, SO closely
IS his reputation associated with the
novel. that he is known to his friends
as "Dodo' Benson, instead of by his
Christian name.
The second brother to fill the public
eye was Father Benson Although the
son of an archbishop of the Church of
England, he became a priest of the
roman Catholic church, and has at
tained some note as a writer of theses
concerning the position of his religion.
A. c. Benson was late in coming to
his own, for his first books We're pub
lished anonymously. They gained rec
ognition, but the author was almost
unknown, This is in keeping with his
work, for his books deal less with ac-
ton and achievement than with the
calmer resources of life of medita-
ton. Two of his earlier valumes, THE
House of Quiet and "The Thread of
Cold have recently been reprinted
under the authors name. The House
OF Quiet from it's first publication in
1904, has been printed nine times, and
The Thread OF Gold" has been print
ed five time Within year Mr.. Ben

his fame rests. Competent critics give
