~ before he can make a start at
farming. This equipment consists OF
Cd motive power and. CD the ma
chinery and tools to which this mo-
tive power is applied. The motive
power, as generally applied to farm
operations, is animal or muscle
power. We can get this from two
sources, from our beast of burden, or
from our own bodies. 1t is that part
Of the motive power that comes from
the human body that is most ex-
pensive, and to eliminate this as far
as possible should be our aim.
Machine labor is the only cheap
labor we have. 1t is the best and the
most reliable Of all our methods Of
doing work.
AS the mules and horses are our
principal motive power. they should
be of the best-1,00O pounds and
above. A small animal cannot
handle well the best of improved
farm machinery. In all record yields
OF any crops we read Of, the best Of
preparation to start with is given
deep and thorough. This cannot we'll
be done with little mules and little
plows.
Our farm machinery consists OF the
following:
Stump pullers. to first get all the
stumps and trees. out Of the way;
disks and two-horse plows for break
Ing lands; an Acme and a disk har-
how for thoroughly pulverixing
and smoothing the plowed soil. a
manure spreader for handling all
kinds OF manures and composts; fer
tilizer distributors Of several kinds,
one kind to open furrow and drill
fertilizers; one kind to drill or spread
fertilizers and at the same time put
list on 1t; another kind to fertilize
and plant at the same time; and an
other kind to do broadcast or drill
work two rows at a time, and still
another kind to distribute fertilizers
around growing crops and cultivate
them at the same time. We also
have the best OF improved planters
to do all our planting, such as corn,
cotton, peas. beans. sorghum. oats.
watermelons. etc. In
fact, everything we plant except
sweet potatoes and sugar cane. Is
planted by machinery. The machine
work is far superior In quality to
hand work. and there is no COMPARE
son as to the cost between the two.
We cultivate, principally. with
one-horse cultivators OF the spring
tooth and Planet Junior style, hav-
ing completely discarded the two
horse riding cultivators on account
OF the increased amount OF hoeing
we always had to do behind them.
Our harvesting machinery consists
OF 6foot binder. two frst-class
mowers and rakes. a hay tedder, q
side delivery rake. a hay loader and
a hay press. The side-delivery rake
is one OF the best tools hay grower
can possibly own. They do more
work and better work than is possible
with the ordinary dump rake. and,
IL properly used, one can save hay
with them. with little damage, dur
ing rainy weather.
A 12-horse gasoline engine does
our own ginning, grinds our feed and
shreds our slower This little planta-
ton gin outfit we consider the most

Della County's Future.

Three-fifths of the land to be watered
by the Gunnison tunnel will be tribu-
tary to the town of Delta. This for the
reason that distances and shipping
facilities beirg equal the farmer will
always take the down-hill haul to mar
ket, thus coming to Delta.
The increase in the area of cultivated
land means that we will have better
railroad facilities and that in time not
one but several roads will be bidding
for our business.
Land that is now selling for from $50
to SIS an acre will be selling for 1000
and paying good interest on that
amount.
As the greatest fruit growing section
of the West our product will be sought
by buyers from every part of the Mt
ton, enabling us to get quicker sales
and better prices.

Colorado Cattle Win Prizes.

Colorado's wild, or native hay, such
as is found in the North, Middle and
South parks, is as valuable as her far
famed alfalfa. Also there is more of
it. There were about ], 900. 900 tons of
this kind of hay raised and sold during
the year, and the price averaged up to
Sl2 ton. OF alfalfa there were 9OO,-
900 tons, worth $40 ton. and this
estimate is conservative. The big in
crease in stock raising. as evidenced by
the growth of business at the Union
stock yards in Denver. makes it clear
that there must be plenty of hay for
Colorado's cattle to eat. The hay fed
cattle from this state continued during
the year to take prize after prize at
the biggest stock shows in the country.
notably the International at Chicago
and the Corn Show at Omaha.

A small crowd of young people as
sembled at DR.. Groves office Monday
night, all friends of Leonard Baird,
who. later with his wife, was lured to
the spot, unawares of what he was fall
ing into: armed with tin horns and
confetti, they were taken to the Gayety,
where seats had been reserved, and
slide prepared for the picture machine,
that was very embarrassing to the
newly married couple. Len came to
the front nicely and paid for the tickets,
and later the aggregation moved to
Mathers' ice cream parlor. Here the
groom baked; said he was broke, and
refused to write check. They were
then chaperoned to their home, and
enough silverware was picked up, to
pawn and buy the treats About this
time the bride was taken with pains in
her feet, which made it necessary to
change her shoes. and as some newly
married men can't be parted long from
their wives, Len had to be on the spot.
The crowd, thinking they could not get
out except by returning the way they
had gone, did not keep a very close
watch. and before they knew it, Len
had fixed a rope from the up stairs
window, and the two had slid down.
Mrs Baird proved such success at
sliding down the rope, that most every
BODY has arrived at the conclusion that
they must have eloped. They say no
girl could be so clever without any ex-
perience. They were later discovered,
and taken back to the ice cream parlor.

TWIN FALLS, Nov. 4. Thee.
Parks, Mr.. Mitchell and E. G. Propss,
returning from Jarbridge in the last
few days, report that the Paylak tun-

which point what is without question
the wall was cut of the main ledge. A
flow of water started out the tunnel,
flowing about so feet per second, and
along with the gas from the ledge
drove the miners out of the tunnel ana
until the flow of water ceases and the
tunnel clears of the gas it will be inn
possible to find out the width of the
ledge, which has without doubt been
struck, for the water flowing from the
tunnel is carrying considerable tale
which pans in great shape. The posi-
bility of this being the ledge at a
depth of 425 feet has caused consider
able enthusiasm to be manifested by
those in camp.

CUPRITE OPERATORS
ARE NEARING THEIR
Big CONTACT Zone

The Kurigan, Smith and Evans
property near Cuprite is showing much
promise these days. A crosscut has
been started from the 176-foot level
of the shaft and is being carried to tne
west to cut the strong vein that dipped
out of the shaft at 20 feet depth, the
vein showing good values and being
we'll defined. The values are IN gold
and silver, and the vein matter heav-
lily mineralized with iron sulphides.
The vein should be reached about 80
feet from the shaft.
The lower part of the shaft IS out
of the solid lime formation and pene-
trated a big zone of lime ~earbonates,
so soft that part of it could be work
ed with a pick and shovel, the ear
Donates carrying much iron ~sulphide
content, and promising values in gold
and silver. A crosscut has also been
started out to the east in order to cut
the lime-porphry contact that is one
of the features of the property. This
crosscut shows vein matter, streaks OF
tale coming into the face of the cus,
and the naturalization is rapidly in
creasing and improving. As all along
the enormous lime-porphry contact az
the surface splendid values are found,
it is believed that when the contact
IS cut at this depth a great increase n
values will be encountered. The VEIN
to the west and the contact zone to
the east are the logical points to look
for strong values, and now that the
operators have attained good depth
and are so close to a point where re-
suits should begin TO show, they are
very optimistic, and the outlook for
the property getting commercial ore IS
most promising.
