State Dairy Commissioner Cochran
Greeley Visitor anu Talks of
Advance Of Mich Cow

State Dairy Commissioner Robert
l.. Cochran. who spent Monday in
Greeley, says that the dairy business
is gaining ground in Colorado by
big jumps. New creameries are

within year they will be thorough
ly scattered all over the state.
You have one Of the incest, best
kept little creameries in the state
here in Greeley" said Mr.. Cochran
There are none cleaner. Your
diaries, too, have made wonderful
strides in a sanitary way since the
appointment of DR.. Shields as dairy
inspector. They are now in excel
lent shape.
please tell the Tribune readers
that the new state dairy law is in
effect, and that every owner OF one
COW or more, the product from
which is sold, comes under it's pro-
Visions"

BROKEN NECK
VITTETOE May
GET WELL
Young Man Who Fell From Derrick
Yesterday Doing Better Than
Was Expected.

Lawrence Vittetoe. lying in st.
Luke's hospital, Denver, with q
broken neck, may live. This is the
latest word from the bedside of the
injured man.
Vittetoe, who fell from a we'll
driller's derrick near Eaton yester-
day morning, was taken to st.
Luke's hospital at once, and an x
ray examination showed two verte-
brae at the joint of the neck and
spine, crushed, but the spinal cord
not severed. When he arrived at
the hospital he had no feeling what
ever in his body. After being made
as comfortable as possible, and the
pressure of the spine relieved, this
morning he has meaure of feeling
in hands and feet, but Is unable to
move either. With the return of
feeling has come the sense of pain,
and he is suffering greatly.
II the young mans vitality, holds
out until the injury to the spine can
heal, he may get we'll.

new RULING AS
TO H0mESTEADS

A ruling affecting homestead en-
tries was received yesterday by
Register c. D. Ford, of the United
States land office at Denver. from
Samuel Adams, acting secretary Of
the department of the interior.
According to the statute, entry
men must take up residence on
their claims within six months from
the date Of entry. Some title on
proof Of residence for a period OF
the six months to build and take up
actual residence. 1t has been the
practice in the land offices to give
these entrymen the credit for the
whole six months Just as though
they had begun their residence right
after date OF entry. As the statute
provides that q patent shall not be
issued on a homestead claim until
the expiration Of five years from the
date of entry, they were permitted
to secure title on proof of residence
or a period of four years and six
months, the first six months making
the period of five years.
The acting secretary says this
practice is erroneous and notihes
land Office registers and receivers
that the period of five years requir-
ed before patent is secured must
date from the day actual residence
is taken up on the claim, not from
the day entry was made. In other
words, II an entrymen does not be-
gin residence on his claim until two
weeks before the expiration of the
six month period, he will be given
credit for only those two weeks and
must live on his land five years lack
ing two weeks before able to make
final proof. instead of four years and
six months as under the old prac-
tice.
The practice which the secretary
declares erroneous has prevailed for
many years, and is believed to be
due to an incorrect Interpretation
of a section of the revised statutes.
Because OF the long time that the
practice has prevailed. the new rul-
ing will not go into effect until De-
cember l, in order that there may
be ample time for notice of the con-
templaled change.

Evans, Aug. 29.-The invalids OF

Tregoning was bitten behind the
ear by a mosquito. The infected

Imaginary Farm Wealth

Unquestionably the American
farmer is prodigiously rich. He
owns, says the census bureau. land
worth more than twenty-eight bill
lion dollars. This composite, statis-
tical farmer. bursting with almost
uncountable wealth, figures very
prominently in journalism and poll
tics. IL is he whom the cartoonists
depict glittering with diamonds and
lolling in a huge automobile.
However. you get little closer to
actuality when you divide this pro-
digious gentleman by about six mil
lion. In round numbers there were
six million four hundred thousand
separate farms in the country in
$40, and there doesn't lack much
of being one farmer to every farm.
Making that division we find that
the land in the average farm is
worth forty-four hundred and fifty
dollars, which doesn't give the typi-
cal, actual, individual farmer very
long start toward being a million
aire. In 1900 the land value of the
average farm was twenty-five hun
dren and sixty dollars. Thus that
tremendous increment of fifteen bill
lion dollars in the value of farm
lands comes down to the average
increment of less than twenty-five
hundred dollars a farm in ten years.
or roughly two hundred dollars a
year, which is much less staggering
than the undivided figure.
If any one thinks of going into
agriculture on the strength of the
statisticians and cartoonists' farmer
he should first work out some prob
lens in division.-Country Gentle
man.
