TRAFALGAR RELIC is SAVED WILD HORSES IN COLORADO

James and Jess Mccarthy, who are
mining a copper claim above timber
line on Mount Blanca, Colorado, re-
port a herd Of W1ld horses running
loose on the sand dunes Of the In
comphagre range of mountains, south
west of Mount Blanca and Mosca
pass.
The McCarthys declare the hoofs OF
these horses have spread out to ac-
commodate the peculiar formation OF
the grounds over which they run I'M
til they have attained the circumfer-
ence Of dinner plates. Many other
prospectors to the mountains have
seen the horses, and q. peculiar story
is related concerning their presence
on the dunes, which are very rare
in vegetation.
It has been told, on good author
ity, that many years ago a party of
government surveyors was sent to de-
termine the scope and character of
these dunes, and after many months
searching party was sent after the
men. The only trace Of their pres
enee5 was a surveyors instrument,
which stood like lonely sentinel in
the sands.

OTHERS KNOW US TOO WELL
Easy TO Deceive Ourselves, but the
Rest OF the World Is Generally
Too Wise.

Senator Pomerene has a happy
knack of driving home a statement
with an epigram.
At luncheon Senator Pomerene
described a would-be litterateur.
Thanks to whisky and strong
cigars he said, "the poor fellow has
failed to make good. He earns pre-
carious living by newspaper work,
but though he is so now, none Of the
wondrous novels and thrilling stories
that he used to pirate about have ap-
peared.
And yet, in his shabby apartment,
over a bottle OF cheap liquor and a
box Of cheap cigars, he will boast by
the hour-poor, gray, wrink1ed duffer
OF his unfinished MSS. Oh, they
will appear vet! Yes, he will yet IL
1umine the world with the light OF his
genius
Senator Pomerene sighed and con
cluded:
'.Ah, if we could deceive others as
easily as we deceive ourselves, what
regulations we'd all have, to be sure!"

COOPERATION IN FARM WORK
Several Lines Indicated IL Which
Principle VIII Help Farmers
Financially and Socially.

The American farmer is slow to
appreciate cooperation as applied to
farm work, and he cannot grasp il at
all unless he il idlbSed with an aitruis-s
tic spirit, disposition to help his
neighbors as well as himself, and thus
fulfill the Golden Rule.
Until comparatively recent years
the farmer has been obliged to depend
upon himself. All through the last
century he has made his living by
muscular labor and his wealth by the
advance in the price of land where
the land was good. His Isolation
has compelled him to rely largely on
himself and has made him what the.
scientists call an individualist, man
who relies on his own unaided
strength and resources. The time has
come, however, when cooperation Is
quite as necessary as individual effort
has been heretofore.
/ am not advocating what is usually
called cooperation in buying and sell
ing, in operating creameries, In dis
posing of live stock, but minor or
lesser forms of neighborhood assls-
lance in farm operations, writes W. II.
Underwood in the Michigan Farmer.
We, as farmers, should learn to work,
to each others hands as we have
never done before and / venture to
indicate several lines in which COOP
Grafton will not only be mutually help
full in a financial way, but vastly inn
prove social conditions as well.
The purchase Of farm machinery,
which the shortage Of labor absolute
" requires, is becoming very heavy
burden on the S0-acre and quarter
section farm Farming cannot be done
now as it was half century ago with
4 plow or two, one harrow, a wagon,
a horse-rake. a cradle and a scythe.
A. hay-loader, corn harvester,
binder. two or three different kinds
OF blows, harroWs and rollers are
needed.
The silo has come into general use,
and a silage cutter and some kind OF
mower to run it is required. A manure
spreader and grain drill are needed
whether the farm is a 40, an 80, a
ouarter-section, half-section or sec
ton. Now there is no necessity for
pny one man owning all these tools.
BY a little planning two farmers, or
perhaps three, can use one corn har-
vester, one silage cutter and power,
and by combining labor can fill their
silos at minimum expense.
On the small farm there Is no need
FOR every man to own a grain drill.
with a little management one grain
drill will do the work on several small
farms. 1t can usually be arranged for
one man to buy the drill and the rest

usa of it. The same is true Of the
manure spreader, although I think
every farmer really ought to have one
for himself
