made to yield a full flow of milk while
prices are high.

No matter along what line you de-
sire advice you can get it upon the

knows. Upon inquiry you usually find
this weighty advice is given by the fell
low who has talked all his life and
has never done anything. He is usually
could have been rich If he had bought
land when it was cheap. But he was
too late. In illustration Of what free
advice is worth. Mr.. Vinegar tells
the following:
In 1895 I induced party from
county, S. D. to inspect $50 acres Of
land that I could sell for $12. He was
unable to decide until he went home,
arriving there he asked the advice Of
his banker, who said, John have
never been there but I know the coun-
try by reputation and does it seem
reasonable to you that you would be
offered good crop producing land at
$12? It is either worth $50 or nothing,
and If it was worth $50 the people
there who know the conditions would
not let it be sold at $12." This was
good theoretical logic, about such as
any good business man might use.

| able to say John paid $4,000 to have
! another man do his thinking. Every
! one can tell you similar story about
/ every new country, but no one has
ever seen a man who made careful in
vestments in land who did not profit
by it. You have faculties that allow
merits, so do not allow some one else
to do your thinking. Do your own
| reasoning and ask yourself the ques-
ton:
do I know an instance where any
man went further west and bought
money!" How have nine men out of
ten of your acquaintances that are
worth $4,000 or more, made the bulk
of their money. See If it was not
in cheap lands, care not whether it
was in Iowa the Dakotas, eastern
Kansas or Nebraska, did not the ma
jority of the people at the time they
be any good?
Take a. couple Of weeks time and go
investigate for yourself. Don't go to
the free advice bureau upon the street
corner, or sitting on a dry goods box
at the country store, nor to the real
estate man who condemns Colorado to
praise some proposition of his own, but
go and see what he has and then 60
out and visit with the men who live
on the farms in Colorado, and ascer-
tain the truth, and you will then realize
the real value of that land. If you
turn it down, we will have nothing to
say, but-be sure you do it yourself.
Compare your land, price and your
crops. That's all we ask-just be square
with us. What we want is farmers
who will help us and take advantage
of the opportunities of our country of
today. We will not ask you to buy,
and if you do so, it will be on your own
judgment.
The time will be we'll spent as a
recreation from business, whether you
invest or not.
