Beaten in Hard Fight.

Included in the property of the salt
company were buildings valued ar S43-
062.73, a railroad and three ard three
quarter sections of salt deposit. The
owners were puzzled when water from
an unknown source began to pour into
the basin, but finally traced it To the
intakes which began to cut away Until
in July, 1905, all the water of the Colo
RADIO had been diverted into the basin.
Then began a hard fight to save the
property and control the water. The
salt company removed it's locomotives
to a point of safety, and at the end of
six months the water was again turned
back into its natural channel. TWO
months later the waters of the turbid
stream again broke forth from the ar
tifiCial banks and completely inundat-
ed the works, which are still under
more than sixty feet Of water.

There are different views of how to
go to work at most anything. One man
looks at it one way, another another.
1t is that way with farming. There are
men who seem to think that II they can
skin the farm down to the very quick
every year they are making the most
out Of farming.
These men think more Of the money
they get than anything else In the
world. Money Is their supreme object
in life. For that they work themselves
and their horses and their hands from
daylight till dark. For that they will
scrimp themselves and their families
till they have little OF the real man.
hood left in them, for 1t Is a fact that
such narrow living stunts all the bet
ter elements Of ones nature. They die
at last, leaving a good bank account,
but that is all they leave, and the world
soon forgets them. That Is not getting
the most out Of the farm. What Is?
Thu man who gets the most out OF
the farm is the one who makes not
simply a fortune out Of 1t, but makes
a life. He works for that day that Is
coming, as well as for the day that
now Is. His aspiration is to leave the
farm a little better than he found 1t.
This he can do by a system OF thor.
eugh farming, by means OF which he
maintains the fertility Of the soil, CIV
Ing as well as taking, every year.
He studies the hearts of his wife and
Mtle Ones, just as much as he thinks OF
the care and keeping of his land and
his cattle. He takes an interest In the
welfare Of the people about him and
Is ready to do all that be can to in
sure good government.
The man who does these things may
not lay up quite as much money as the
other one, but he will have the respect
Of all who know him. and. the best Of

Some Separator Conclusions.
In conclusion, let me say that tho
hand separator has made possible Q
marvellous growth In the dairy indus
try. It has extended the butter pro-
ducing territory from the cne hun
dredth meridian to the Pacific Coast.
1t has reached up Into the Far North
west and has dipped down into the
Southwest. 1t has made possible tho
marketing Of dairy products h regions
which would never have been reached
by whole-mfIk system dairyfng. 1t has
stimulated and encouraged the intro
duction Of improved dairy breeds and
1t has brought to Thousands Of farmers
millions Of dollars which It would have
been impossible for them to accumulate
had It not been for the hand separator.
The hand separator users are q vnse
throng, and their influence should b
used to improve their position. They
should insist, where their cream q
marketed for butter making purposes,
that It be graded according to tn quail
ity and tested for butter fat b. q.
curate methods. They should take IN
interest In all the operations that ar@
necessary to place this product on the
market to the best advantage. They
should give care to tn assembling ana
care to tn receiving. There are many
opportunities open for cooperation :
but cooperation n only be carried
on where there IL \ desire On the part
o. all to work in harmony. This
possible where the right spirit exists.
and II seems TO me II 10 we'll worm
the trial. In the assembling. recsiyins
and grading there ID 4 fair nelA for
