THE CIMARRON VALLEY
FA RMER.

Well, friend, we will now take
up the mule subject, and this
copy of The Mail is worth $50
to any man. 1t costs you about
2 cents so there's $49.98 clear
profit. Amt you happy?
AS l said in town Saturday,
some people in Payne county
think it difficult to break a
mule, but they are just afraid,
that's all. If you had had as
many rides over the saw-buck
on a mules pass as the Cimar-
ron Valley Farmer had in his
days you could reflect now in
stead of looking forward. In
other words, you should look be-
hind when you are near a donk-
ey-there's where 80 per cent
of the action comes from. The
first thing to do is to gain the
mules confidence and respect,
and study his disposition. This
can be done best by turning
him into the barn yard and with
a good field glass study him
from the top Of the stable roof.
You are more apt to be unob-
served if up above the danger
line and are safer. Should the
wind blow hard, tie yourself to
the roof. After the mule is
tied in the stable and the door
is shut you can come down
and eat. In this study you
should throw aside your pre-
JUDGES and view the animal
with calmness, patience, i'm
partiality and non-partisanship.
In about one week you will have
enough courage stored up to
form a better acquaintance with
him. 1t is well to do this by
pushing a load of hay ahead of
you and have your wife to
watch and tell you when to get
under the wagon. After a while
the mule will get so that he
will eat hay out of the wagon
and then you can sing to him
from a distance and study the
angle of his hind legs by stand
ing a looking glass against the
barn in the back Of him. Do
this while the mule is still alb
sent. After you have got so
you can memorize the wrinkles
on his hoofs, corner the mule
somewhere. The well is the best
or the cistern will do if there
is water in it. Get a halter on
him and pull out with a well
derrick. If he has not been in
more than a week he will be al
right to leave alone in an hour
or two, when you can retire
and rest few hours and con-
template. Feed the mule sugar
if he likes something sweet. You
can do this by tying a lump
to a fish line, getting away
the proper distance and cast
ing for him, After day or

Virtues of a High order.

Punctuality, assiduity, economy. in

may be described as commonplace vir-
tues, but they are certainly not vir'

When Potatoes viii Freeze.

Fort Collins.-As Colorado is being
settled by corn growers, many OF
whom do not realize their need to
learn new ways when they become po-
tato growers, it is distressing to see
SO many of them regard the time of
potato harvest as optional, somewhat
like corn husking or beet harvest says
c. T. Fitch, Colorado Agricultural
College. The experience of years has
established dates past which it is dan
gerous to leave potatoes in the ground
subject to heavy frost losses. Waiting
for potatoes to .ripen is not wise; it Is
better to devise ways to ripen the ear
lier another season and save what is
on hand this time. At 1000 to 5000
feet altitude October list Is about the
danger line and October 10th is very
risky for the completion of potato
field work. At Greeley. Colorado, the
leases used to read October goth. but
the growers feel safer to be done se9-
eral days sooner. as damage has oc-
Cured on the 10th. Lower still, about
Julesburg, for instance, October goth
is quite safe. Old growers recognize
these limits of safety. New ones will
do well to adopt them.

New Mexico.

At a conference between the vice
president of the company and other
eastern investors and the consulting
engineer, 1t was decided to push de-
velopment in all parts Of the Socorro
mine, Mogollon mining district, and
block out reserves sufficient to JUS
tify doubling the capacity of the mill.
The Mogollon Gold and Copper
Company, which Is doing considerable
development work on its property at
Cooney, made a rich strike In the
Florida group. the richest that has
ever been made on that property. The
ore carries heavy gold and silver
values on a good strong vein four feet
wide.
A very rich strike Of almost solid
silver ore was made upon the Chicago
mine in the Black Hawk district. fiji
teen miles west of Silver City. 1t Is
estimated from samples that have
been carried to Silver City that the
ore will run from $4,000 to $1,000 d
ton. The rich strike was made at a
depth of eight feet although the shaft
has been in ore from the grass roots.

tion Of this has been officially called
by Governor John F. Shafroth, who
has also sent invitations to governors
of other apple producing states, ask
ing that they send delegates.
Colorado, as the leading apple grow

state to take the initiative in organic
ing this important congress.
The Denver & Rio Grande railroad

Great Irrigation Job Completed

Greeley.-According to l.. l.. Stim-
son, chief construction engineer for the
project, the great North Sterling irri-
cation system, by which 10000 acres
will be brought under cultivation at
cost of $2,OO0,OOO, is practically COM
pleted. Engineer Stimson will now
begin construction of the Sedgwick
reservoir, in Sedgwick county, to irri-
gate $4,000 acres and cost 100000. In
stead of the water decreasing in the
Platte river, in the northeastern part
of the state, because of the drain on
1t from reservoirs and bitches near its
source, it's flow here has greatly in
creased during the last few years be-
cause of seepage from the vast irrigat-
ed tracts.

within the next few weeks, by reason
of the fact that Brigadier General Earl
D. Thomas, now commanding, will re-

tired nine years ago at his own re-
