but there is one special kidney medicine
that cures permanently and there is
plenty Of proof right~here in Union

Here is the testimony of one who
used Doan's Kidney PILLS years ago,
and now states that the cure was last

experience with them has taught me
that they act up to the claims made for
them. The condition Of my kidneys

irrigation potatoes can be kept dry in
the ripening season. The Western
Slope potatoes are of peculiarly grown

Greedy potato. The railroad has made
very low rates to the market thus
enabling our farmers to compete in the

numerous orchards and thousands of
acres of alfalfa and abundance of water
we raise the finest honey on earth and

and Oppor-
tunities.

Washington had visited the valley he
reported to the Government as follows:
In all my travels l have not seen =
more delightful place to grow fruit
than the North Fork of the Gunnison
river. The fruit interest here is be-
ginning to override all others. and or
chards are being planted in every di-
rection. The table lands or mesas are
entirely free from alkali properties,
and seem to be best for fruit. The,
are extremely well ada pied to all KIND $
OF deciduous fruits. The peach, april
cot and all deciduous fruits were bear
ing profusely. No insect enemies were
seen or heard of in this vicinity"
The apple is the great staple fruit
crop of Colorado. One peculiar cause
of the excel, nee of Colorado apples is
that the dry climate enables the or
chardists to overcome the coddling
moth. Another great advantage of
the Colorado apples. raised under irri-
CATION is that the grover is able to
control the firmness and juciness of the
fruit by methods of applying water SO
that our apples placed in cold storage
are the best keepers in the world.
Fruit growing is made profitable by
the orchardists setting out their trees
and then cultivating the ground be-
tween the trees in small fruits and
other suitable crops until their orchards
come into bearing, thus making their
lands produce heavily almost from the
very start. Sugar beets, potatoes.
The Delta independent., 1909-02-19

corn and a variety of crops are
source of profit during the infancy of
the orchards.
This ability to occupy the land while
the trees are growing enables men of
even moderate means to acquire
clean land. Plant trees and make a
living while the orchards are reaching
the productive stage. The science of
horticulture as practiced in Colorado is
very much less difficult than where the
fruit grower has to be each year and
each season constantly changing with
buys land in Colorado valley and goes
to raising fruit is usually surrounded
by successful orchards from whose
owners he may obtain all the informa-
ton he,needs as to methods of cultiva-
tion, spraying, pruning, etc. Condi-
tions through the season and year
after year remain about the same and
always under his control. Some of the
leading orchardists of Colorado, men
of wealth all made from their trees,
were Dut lew years ago raiiWay
brakemen. carpenters, freighters or
cowboys and acquired the skill which
made them successful while their trees
were growing. Although many sec
tions of the country suffered almost
total loss of fruit last year, because
of the freeze the latter part of May,
the reliable North Fork Valley came
up smiling and shipped over 800 car
loads of peaches and more than 500
carloads of apples East. West and
South, some of which were exported,
besides cherries, plums, prunes. rasp-
berries ard other small fruit.

mands a better price. There is not
enough pork raised in this neighbor-
hood to supply the local demand.
CHEAP FUEL
Within six miles of Hotchkiss the
hills are underlaid with an inexhaust-
able supply of the best quality of do
mestic coal, several mines are working
and supplying coal at 81 80 per ton at
the mine. Wood for fuel is free for
the hauling. The farmers get their
fence posts without cost from a dense
growth of cedars which cover the ad-
joining foot hills.
FISHING AND HUNTING
This country not only excels in its
bountiful fruit crops, its wonderful
harvest of farm crops, its magnificent
climate, pure water, fine schools and
churches, high class of citizenship; but
it is surrounded by some of the most
beautiful scenery on earth and a short
ride on horseback will take one where
nature has done her best in making
mountains, streams, parks and valleys.

grounds and ideal camping sites. In
every direction are mountain streams
teeming with trout, here we may also
find deer and other large game which
may be killed in the open season.
RADIUM SPRINGS
Within three miles of Hotchkiss sare
some very remarkable springs, from a
health giving standpoint, which have
been tested by expert chemists and
fonnd to contain a greater proportion
of Radium than any other known
springs in the world. People with
stomach trouble and various ailments
have found permanent relief by the
use of these waters. Prof. Headdin of
the Colorado Agricultural College has
analized these waters and strongly
ing drink.
PRICE OF LANDS
Notwithstanding the marvellous re-
sources of this section. the land prices
are very low, in fact our fruit lands in
many instances are being offered at
less than alfalfa land in other parts of
Colorado. Good fruit land with a water
right can be bought for 500 to $3.50
per acre. The land that is partially
improved with orchards. 500 per acre
and up. There is reason for these
low prices. Most of the lands have
been held by stockmen in large tracts.
but they are now selling it in small
pieces and improving their remaining
land Fruit lands that are no better
and will produce no better fruit located
elsewhere. are being sold at fabulous
prices. To buy land near Hotchkiss is
not speculation, but is the simplest,
sanest, safest, soundest investment
you can make.

Max Rettig packed 26 boxes from

The Elberta peach stands supreme
IN it's class in this section. OF rich
yellow color, magnificent flavor, juci-
ness and of large size and unequaled
shipping qualities. This variety of
fruit demands the best of conditions,
and gets them from Hotchkiss.
The favorite varieties of apples for
commercial use are the Jonathan,
Rome Beauty, Staymen, Winesap.

Golden being highly fieshed, and pos
sessing flavor that cannot be equalled.
Peach trees are usually set about 20x20
feet apart making los trees to the
acre. Apple trees about ..25x30 with
grown peach tree should bear from 10
to 20 boxes. A full grown apple tree
from 10 to 25 boxes each season.
SMALL FRUITS
Are raised to perfection in this local
ity such as strawberries. currants,
gooseberries, black berries. dewberries,
raspberries, grapes, cherries. etc. A
good feature in their production is that
they do not have to be buried" or
mulched in the winter time. A ready
market locally and in the mining camps
can be found at all times.
C. L. Greenwood sold from one acre
of raspberries last year more than
$500. 90 worth.
GENERAL FARMING
This is pre-eminently fruit country
as evidenced by the large number of
Medal Premiums secured al the Worlds
Fair, State Fair and others. but it is
one of the best sections for general
farming in America. A great many
prefer to put their great success in
farming, not upon one speciality. but

of this kind the opportunities of this
valley are just as great as for tn.
specialist The same fertility of tn,

his crops need moisture. Rarely does
the farmer want all his ground wet at
the same time. Some crops thrive
when moist while others are spoiled by
the moisture. In an irrigated country
the farmer can always depend upon
dry, sunny weather, and so he can
regulate the exact degree of moisture,
exactly to suit any crop. The very
color and texture of fruits and vegeta-
hles can be regulated by irrigation.
The irrigation farmer can keep his
crops growing until they have attained
their maximum, then shut off the wat

er and ripen them. He can make the
wheat berries fill fuller by watering
when the grain is in the milk, he
can also increase the size of his fruit
80 per cent by watering the trees at
the right time; but although irrigation
is so important, it is neither hard to do
nor difficult to understand. A Colo
RADIO irrigator plans his work carefully,
gets the water to the highest places on
his farm to begin with. then has easy
down hill work to get the fertil zlng
flow over every foot of it. The labor
of irrigation is equal to about one half
the time the eastern farmer loses by
bad weather; and about one fifth the
work he puts in on a muddy road.
Many men have learned to be skilled
irrigators in less than one month,
there are few that cannot master all
the details OF irrigation in single sea-
son. We have in the vicinity of
Hotchkiss rs, 900 acres of tillable land
and have a suficiency of water for 1t
which is obtained from the North Fork
and Smith Fork of the Gunnison river,
Leroux Creek Cottonwood and other
creeks and fine system of reservoirs.
These water rights are all owned by
the farmers
All continuously successful farms in
Colorado are irrigated. Irrigation is
the connecting link between the mex
haustable soils and the everlasting sun
shine. 1t makes the parched desert
bloom into a profusion of crops. 1t re-
duces farming to certainty; and as
sures the farmer of not only certain
crop, but larger crop than can be
produced by rainfall alone.
LIVE STOCK
Cattle is the chief kind of stock
grown in this country, although we
boast of a very high class of horses.
The farmer who wishes to raise cattle,
horses or hogs, and fatten them for
market, will find that in every regard
he has advantage over any other sec
ton of the United States, in the vicin-
ity of Hotchkiss. The climate favors
keeping stock out of doors, the sun

The stockmen run their cattle on the
mountain range in the grazing season
at price 25 cents per head for about
eight or ten months and feed them al

thus keeping them always fat and they
generally top the market in Kansas
City and Chicago.
HOG RAISING
The man who understands raising
hogs has fortune at his command at
Hotchkiss. Hog diseases which are
the destroyers of profits in the corn
belt cannot survive the germ destroy
ing rays of the constant Colorado sun.
This region is high and cool and hog
cholera is unknown. Alfalfa as hog

grains and vegetables will finish hogs

crops of fruit or other products.
N. M. Heistand. five miles from town
last year averaged 1877 bushels of oats
to the acre.
Duke Bros. on a much larger acreage
averaged 100 bushels to the acre.
THE SUGAR BEET
Industry was introduced into this val
ley five years ego. and has developed
into a regular mint for the farmers.
Statistics show that this is the banner
valley for this crop. The beets aver.
age more sugar to the ton, and more
tons to the acre than elsewhere in the
country. Hence the beet sugar factory
at Grand Junttion is glad to get the
beet at $500 per ton straight, al do
not require them to be sliced.
The average in this valley near
Hotchkiss last year was little more
than 20 tons to the acre. John NJ.
Smith one mile from town averag, d 80
tons to the acre, which | think is eon-
ceded to be the best record for the
world. Several other farmers raised
more than 30 tons per acre.
ALFALFA.
Alfalfa is one of the steady, relis BILE
crops. 1t makes three full cuttings
the year afterward and then is Il ere
as long as the farmer wants it. Three
cuttings are usually made in a seas on
yielding about five tons to the acre. 1t
is also a great fertilizer, alfalfa
ground, makes better crops, poduces
better trees and also restores land to
its virgin fertility. 1t is so rich that
it cannot be cured except in the dry
climate. In the last, the hay musts

Standard Oil Files Appeal.

st. Louis, Dec. 1.-THE appeal of
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey, it's subsidiaries and the seven
individuals, against whom the gov
erment recently won its dissolution
suit in the United States circuit
court, was filed here to-day.
Sixty-five instances in which the
circuit court is alleged to have erred
are cited as reasons for taking the
case to the supreme court of the
United States.
The appeal was accompanied by a
bond of $4,000.
Collectively the assignments of
errors are that the evidence did not
show a violation of the Sherman act,
under which the suit was brought.
Specific objection is also made as
to the overruling Of the plea against
the jurisdiction of the court.
The findings in respect to competi-
ton as between corporations occupy
ing contiguous territory are also de-
clared to have been in error as we'll
as the courts conclusions regarding

Printers Errors.

A certain great authority on Jeru-
salem was in the habit of contract
ing the name of the city in his Ms.
to "Jerus" In one of his books
upon the subject he described the
sensations which attended his ap-
proach to the famous city. After
reaching the summit Of hill, 1.-The
glorious panorama of Jerusalem" he
wrote, was spread before u.s." Ow-
ing to the usual contraction the gen.
ial compositor rendered this "the
glorious panorama of Jones was
spread before U.S." A misprint which
will always bear repetition is that
concerned with the sailors wife who
wished it to be announced: "A sail
or going to sea, his wife desires the
prayers of the congregation" This
got itself rendered into: "a sailor
going to see his wife desires the
prayers of the congregation" Before
we condemn the compositor who per-
petrated this, however, we must bear
in mind the possible nature of his
own domestic relations. Another ex-
cellent one is that of the editor who
wrote: when Mrs. Jones lectured
on Dress she wore nothing that was
remarkable" How the compositor
came to the conclusion that this
should read, when Mrs. Jones lee
tured on Dress she wore nothing.
That was remarkable!" is mystery.

McMaster, after inspecting the school
buildings of the State with reference

Il find comparatively few school
buildings in the State properly pro-

very essential to the safety, OF the

Il further call. your attention to
the fact that there are school build

capes, or the fire escapes are SO made

crop lien on his poor crops. He is
able to buy and lay drain tiles for
the Improvement of his land because
he has gotten on a cash basis and
can draw his check for what he needs
for the further improvement OF his
land.
Buying on credit will keep any
farmer poor, and in this time of
high prices every farmer should get
out of debt and then keep out. A
man calling himself a farmer wrote
me recently that cowpea seed are so
high he wants to know what else he
had better buy to SOW for the i'm
proyement of his land. A Southern
farmers complaining of the high
price of peas is evidence that he is
not farming we'll. The high price
of peas should be as welcome to him
should always have some to sell in
stead of buying; and he should have
corn to sell, and oats and potatoes,
and should welcome the high prices.
Do not take the risk Of putting all
your land in cotton next spring and
argue that you cannot afford to grow
corn and oats and hay, for the chanc-
es are that next year the all-cotton
farmers will get seriously left, and
the man who stays in debt now, and
goes in debt next spring, is going to
find that 15-cents cotton is thing Of
the past, since in spite Of all the
efforts to reduce the acreage there is
always a bigger acreage after sea-
son Of high prices. Therefore, the
wise farmer will 60 slow and will
farm in a good rotation and have
more idea Of a big yield per acre
than an increased acreage with only
cotton to depend on. There will
never be a better chance to get out
of debt than right now. Remember
that 1.-The borrower is servant to the
lender" and the farmer who goes in
debt to grow cotton every year Is
merely the servant of the merchant,
while the man out of debt and farm
ing right is the boss Of the town man.
