A Wonderful Machine.

The Weld County Abstract X In
vestment company has purchased a
Rectigraph machine which will soon
be installed for its use. This machine
is one Of the most wonderful inven-
tiOns of recent years and does away
with the la aboriUu> method of copying
records, photographing them instead.
The machine is the first of its kind in
the state and will be tht only one Of
its kind in Weld county, and can
photograph one thousand pages Of
court house records in day. IT
works mechanically and turns out the
finished copy ready to be filed away
after merely washing and drying the
record sheets. 1t has powerful lenses
and can enlarge or reduce the size of
the penmanShip of the records. The
photographs are taken on specially
prepared paper and there is use for
plates as used in ordinary photo
graphic apparatus. Any careful per-
son can operate the machine, but he
who has knowledge Of photography
can perhaps do better work with it.
one Of the special features of the ma
chine is that there can be no mistake
in copying any of the original rec
ords.
The machine was invented by
young telegraph operator in Okla
hOma. He was out Of Il lob and went
into an abstract Office to do copying
and became so diSgusted with tho
slow progress that he was making,
that he set about to obtain results in
the Rectigraph. h.-Gireeley Sun.

Favorable Conditions for Fall
Wheat.

The conditions for seeding fall
wheat in Colorado, either above or
under the ditch. could scarcely be
better. We have had such quantity
of moisture during the past six weeks
in many sections Of Colorado that the
ground is thoroughly wet, and the
farmer can provide an ideal seed
bed
BY moisture conserving methods of
culture, a large portion of the water
in the ground can be retained to rem
der rapid, vigorous growth when seed
is snwn. Old settlers say they can not
recall when conditions were SO favor
able for fall wheat.
The wheat crop this year was cut
I short in many portions Of the United
States either by climatic conditions
or insect attacks, and the 1908 fall
sOwn wheat is sure to bring good
price on the market, especially in this
western country. Secure your seed
wheat now. If you have not good
quality seed, consult your miller and
learn who has the best neighbOrhOOd
wheat. The writer knows of nothing
yet which surpasses Turkey Red.
Those above the ditch are urged to
use for seed only that wheat which
has been grown for several seasons
within that environment.
Seed early this year, because of the
moisture conditions. If the wheat
grows too rapidly you can pasture it
down and thus gain so much good
feed as clear profit The writer eX-
poets to seed at the Colorado station
about September 18th. In many sec
tiOns Of our state. seeding should be
during the first week of september.
In the higher attitudes the last week
in August is a good time to SOW. Let
Us have good seeding of winter
wheat during this, the most favorable,
season for seeding that we have ever
had.
The writer is trying to get an eSti-
! nldlt VI tllt area St'tch W " lllVti
wheat in this fall in Colorado. He
will deem it IA very great favor if the
farmers would drop him postal card,
giving area and time seeded to winter

The Farmers Friend.

One of the Interesting features Of
the new school of agriculture is the
recognition Of the helpfulncss Cf many
of the feathered wild tenants Of our
farms. Thanks to the estigation
of the department of agriculture,
many birds which were once ruthlesSly
destroyed by the ignorant pot-hnnter
are now carefully protected because of
their usefulness in keeping down the
insect hordes that prey upon plant
life The quail, or Bobwhite, is ono
of the farmers most valuable feather
ed friends.
This interesting bird is helpful to
the farmer in destroying weeds, bugs,
grasshoppers, cotton-boll wcevil and
many other insects. If not hunted,
the quail is tane bird, often appear
ing in the garden and barn-yards Of
of the farmer. The cheerful whistle
of Bobwhitn, on the fences, in the pas
lures and meadows, is attractive to
the farmer as he pIuws, plant. and
reaps. Let every farmer start out to-
dav to be a friend of birds and to pro-
tcct them. The farmer Will thus bene-
fit himself as well a. protect the more
valuable birds.

Financiers and Lambs

See the great financier. How ear
nestly and eloquently he speaks He
is pleading the cause of the small in
Vestor, pleading for mercy. He is fear
full lest the small investor suffer and
come crashing to grief from contact
with Roosevelt's policies. The great
financier is firm friend of the small
investor. Indeed he is--NOT. In pre-
vious years the great financier has
flimflammed the small investor from
Trinity church to Wall street ferry,
and from the subtreasury building to
Exchange place. Yes, and back again.
Flimhammed him in steel, in Amalga-
mated Copper, in United States Ship
building and, if you wish a really ripe
instance, in New York traction stocks.
How sturdily the great tinancier now
champions the cause of the confiding
small nvestor How unselishly he
shields him from the onslaught of IA
natic honesty! Damon and Pythas,
