Editor Tribune:

Editor Tribune.
| have noticed with, confess,
some amusement the controversy
you and my friend Ray of the
Poudre Valley have got yourselves
into over the farmer and the COW.
Very uuvise in you; because as
matter OF fact nine men in ten who
know much more than either OF you
about farming would on inspecting
the farms lying all around Greeley
and Windsor. and Eaton, hesitate
long time before giving the owners
any pointers in their business. l
suppose now that ! have read more
works on general agriculture, and
more reports emanating from the
agricultural department on special
branches than q Missouri mule could
haul on our level roads; and, more
over. I have followed the business
successfully for the larger share Of
a somewhat active lifetime. and /
wouldn't undertake Il. Men who
are in it for business and making
constant study OF the mosl profit
able methods, and whose theories
show such supurb results both IN
eulliyation and profits. aon't neett
our assistance. OF course, know
that the COW and the farmer are
intimately associated in the folk
lore of the Angle-SaXon race, anu
that the COW and dairy maid are in
seperably connected in song and
story.
"She MIXED the dun COW wich
neer offered to stir
For thong wicked it was it would
mt kick her"
Think of that now and then of
saying anything against the noble
calling of the dairyman.
But that is merely the sentimen-
tai side and there are others. For
don't you know, Mr.. Editor, that Of
all the dod gasted varieties of rural
hardship and slavery this dairy
branch is the worst? Let me tell
you then. If not, that the sweat shop
and the cotton and woolen factory
are not in it in comparison; the
only redeeming feature in the one
over the other being that fresh air
can work in between the COW yard
and the farm house while ii fails to
get into the crowded street between
the factory and the factory worker 5
home.
| remember the COW; you bet.
Why the first work | ever did after
leaving home was TO hire out to a
farmer who had dozen or more
and l MIXED until nearly 0 o'clock
every night after working in the hay
fields all day with the men. | may
add too that the proprietor bursted
up in business and all I got on my
wage account was a straw hat and
a pair of blue drilling breeches.
Please don't talk to me of dairy
mans life.
After being away from the land
of my boyhood for thirty years |
paid it a visit TO renew old acquaint-
ances of youth My wife and my
self spent thre g days with a school
mate and cousin of mine on her
country dairy farm. Her husband
had worn himself out at it and died
at forty-five. and two of her sons
only got into the house from feed
ing and milking each night Just as
was going to bed. Her eldest son,
| don't wonder at il, had turned
minister, and the two others were
wanting to quit the farm for law
and medicine; both, no doubt, hav-
ing had a surfeit of bad medicine
at home.
And now having said so much for
the sentimental side OF the business

on the gridiron. and who is one Of the

Ingram Quint Wins
From Memorial A. C.

Two interesting and closely contested
basketball games were seen last night
when Ingram Memorial and Memorial
Athletic Club and Ingram Juniors and
Good Shepherds met on the formers
gymnasium. Ingram Memorials won
from Memorial A. c. by 40 to 27, and
Ingram Juniors were defeated by Good
Shepherds by 26 to 4.
In the game between the large teams,
Ingrams had their opponents much out
played. Chase featured the contest by
his goal shooting for the winners, and
Wade starred for the losers by his good
defensive work.
Ingram Juniors were utterly unable to
defend their goal from the fierce attack
of Good Shepherds, and the result of
the game was evident from the begin
ming.
