garden and eight acres in grain and
small fruits. The farm proper is being
conducted in a most efficient manner.
The orchard and truck garden, to-
gether with the poultry and dairy, are
sufficient source of supply for the
table and even has been proving a
source of revenue. Not only does it
make the table board all that could
be desired, but there is an abundance,
and the possibilities of the farm could
hardly be said to have been fully de-
veloped
The farm is electrically lighted
throughout, has it's own water works
and sewer system, and, in fact, the
sanitary arrangements are so perfect
that they have been heartily COM
mended by the state board of health.
The sanatorium consists of an in
Urinary with beds for 16 men, where
patient must spend few days a week,
as the case may demand, in absolute
rest The idea of the management is
not to receive men who are in need of
hospital attention, but rather to en-
courage men who are run down or, be-
cause of tubercular trouble, need
few months rest and who are able to
take care of their own tents and come
into the dining room for meals.
There are AZ of these individual
tents into which the patients ''gradu'
ate" from the sanatorium, and these
are comfortably furnished and con
structed in the most scientific manner
for outdoor living. Each case is given
individual study and care by the physi'
clan and the results are obtained
through proper food, fresh air, rest and
discipline. The health farm is con
Quoted as a home wherein tho resi-
dents themselves adopt high stand
ard of conduct and honor, and the
spirit of the association and the gen
eral care of the Denver Young Mems
Christian association is exercised
over the health farm all the while.
The social life of the health farm is
an attractive feature and constantly
being improved, as is the religious
feature of the camp. In the assembly
tent there is no scarcity of games, and
in addition there is splendid croquet
ground which is popular with the
men as healthful outdoor recreation;
a splendid library of about SEQ mis-
cellaneous volumes is maintained, and
donations of books are solicited and
are being received from time to time.
The definite religious work is re-
ceving the proper emphasis. A com
mittee has been appointed among the
men who will have charge of meet
ings. Bible classes, ETC., and at pres
ent two services are held every Sun
day, at SIS a. M, and a twilight ser
vice at GAS p. m. These meetings are
always well attended and deeply ap
preciated by the men. and the services
have long since proven as helpful as
the association mems meetings in the
cities. The interest taken in the new
BiuIe class formed at the health farm
TO meet every Thursday evening for 9
practical study of the book is encour
aging.
