How ] Succeeded at Farming

(By II. o. Hainline)


The editor requested that l con
tribute something for his readers oil
the above topic. Here a question
quite naturally arises. namely:
What does u mean to succeed at
farming??
In one sense the farmer who
becomes the owner of land, i'm
proves 1t by putting up substantial
buildings and fences. farms 1t in a
tolerable manner. making a decent
living and not allowing 1t to deter

Another kind of farmer is one
Who gives his whole attention to
details. He sees that each crop
Is properly planted on the most
suitable ground and tended and har
vested with up-to- date methods and

Number and kind of livestock is

greatest net profit.
The latter supposed case is that
OF the model farmer and IL Is
no more than truth to say there

The former Is quite common.
In the spring OF 1855 there ar
rived In Lamar. Colo. two tender

These quarters are now included
in this ranch.
Presumption and tree claims
could be taken then. but were af-

have taken their place and IT is as
easy now to get government land
now as then.
The two newcomers bought no
team. but hired some twenty acres

their farming resulted in no crops.

Columbus, O., Nov. 16-Today's

the beginning of a fight, waged by
Samuel Hill, millionaire relative Of
James j. Hill, which has for its pur-
pose the expulsion from the order Of

Kegleys friends, is in sympathy with
the administration.
Contrary to expectation a vote on
the expulsion of George p. Hampton,
insurgent New Yorker, was not
reached today. Action in the case
may be deferred until after the cleo
