our states, have been on both
coasts and spent some time in
Canada, finally settling at Jules
burg, Colo. | landed in Jules
burg four years ago; tell the
world | am here to stay.
left Fulton County with the
intentions Of finding country
that was perfect in every way,
but decided there was no place
on earth that would exactly fill
the bill. Ny common sense told
me that if | did find such a place
it would be so uncomfortably
crowded that ] couldn't live. So
taking everything into considera-
tion | finally decided on Jules
burg, Sedgwick County, Colora-
do.
Julesburg is known as the gate
way to Colorado. Located in the
northeast corner of the state in
the South Platte river valley.
376 miles west Of Omaha and 197
miles northeast of Denver, on
the main line of the Union Pa
cifc Railroad. 1t is also the juno
ton of the branch running toDen-
yer thereby making railroad fa-
cilities good. The climate is
great; altitude is 3458 feet above
sea level, has new electric light
and water works owned by the
city, has a beautiful park, new
public school building under con-
struction, high school building
with all modern equipments.
(Our schools are considered the
best in this part of the state).
three churches, the Methodist,
Congregational, and Catholic;
most all of the lodge orders are
represented, all streets are park
ed with beautiful trees and in
short it is a beautiful city.
Julesburg is surrounded by an
extra good farming and stock
raising country. On each side of
the platte river valley there is a
range of hills that is ideal for
stock raising as they are heavily
coated with the different kinds Of
western grasses with good hay
in the hill valleys. Then on both
sides of the range of hills we
find our level table lands. These
lands are rapidly being broke up
and improved into farms ranging
from quarter section to a section.
The large ranches have had their
day and diversified farming has
come to stay.
There is nothing our land won't
grow, but of course we have bet
ter success with some things than
others. Winter wheat is one of
our best paying crops on account
of our good market. A few of
our other successful grains are
fall rye, spring wheat, spring
rye, barley, oats, spelts, and
corn. All forage crops can be
raised successfully, including
cane, kaffir corn, maise, field
peas, millet, etc. Tame grasses
of all kinds are raised for hay,
alfalfa of course is the leader.
Our land sowed to fall wheat
is more than paying for the land
it grows on in one season. The
following is a fact, have the
statistics.
Geo. McCone a South Table
farmer, raised during the season
of 1915, $50 acres of wheat,
threshed 5915 bushels, or an
average of 95.4 bushels per acre.

led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food;

scribed it to convalescents and other
weak patients that this food is won

weight, very rapidly.
81 was in such a low state that
l had to give up my work entirely and
go to the mountains, but two months
there did not improve me; in fact I
was not quite as well as when l left
home. My food did not sustain me
and it became plain that I must
change.
q began to use Grape-Nuts and in
two weeks could walk mile, and in
five weeks returned to my home and
practice, taking up hard work again.
Since that time have felt as well and
strong as ever did in my life.

all sufferers I consider it q duty to
make these facts public"
