ME XXXIII.
MORE GRASS AND CATTLE FOR THE FARM.
r Little Rorfiance-Of Prosi
panding Acres In Whi
sons Have a
, 2 a,n
being manifested by our readers
| in the stock business, as evidenced
by l the letters we receive each
- week. The idea seems to be grow
ing that our country needs grass
and live stock. This is very pleas
ant to me, personally, as rny read-
I"*"* all know that I believe the man
who tries to farm without live
stock and grass was born at the
wrong time of the moon and is
working against what would add
t- to, Wjims e and comfort.
HOW ABOUT YOUK PASTURE ?
Spring is here at last, we think.
How about your pasture ? Is it a
grass lot, or is it a brush lot con
fining a number 2>f red gulleys to
add to its picturesqueness ¥ Have
you been out with the boys the
past winter waging war on those
bushes and briars that are board
ing on- you and getting more ob
streperous the longer they remain ¥
'Do you realize that on the half or
two-thirds of your pasture that is
growing brush, briars, thistles,
{you are paying as much per
Bgk jh interest and taxeß as on the
■3 or half that is paying you
Hi dividends in beef, milk, mut
and pork ¥ Just stop, scratch
■r head, and think about this,
are a wealthy man you will
half or two-thirds of
to lie idle, and if you
jpa man of only average means,
•flPni certainly cannot afford to do
Hhings your wealthy neighbor
Han't afford.
W MENU THE WASTE PLACES.
■ If you have neglected doing this
Blearing that should have been
■done during the winter, just go
lout the first day you have when
ithe land is too wet to work and
| clear off au acre or two. Put the
rirush on the galled places and see
how much better the old pasture
will look. Then next Sunday when
r you take the Madam that way for
a drive —as you are sure to do—
■ what a glow of pride you will feel
Iwheu she remarks : "How much
■ better our pasture looks, John !"
(You will hug yourself, and the
I next wet spell you will be out
| there agaiu working like a nailer.
■The result will be that in course
Af a year or two that old galled
wrush lot will have become a beau
tiful rolling piece of pasture land
And the Madam, instead of being
■ronbled with the "towu itch,"
.will have become so infatuated
with the fine pastures and beau
tiful slick cattle that she will be
taking her city friends out to view
th£m, and you will hear her talk
irtg proudly of what a great stock
,her John is.
THE BOYS WILL GET INTERESTED.
?Phen the boys will become in
flated with the live stock germ.
They will probably want a better
bull than ymi were content with.
Then the first thing you know
Peter will ouiue home with some
roistered heifers; John, Jr., not
to be out-done, .will have a flock of
pure bred sheep, and the old farm
Mill have become a great stock
breeding establishment, doing bus
biew under the firm name of John
mJtcs & Sons. The business will
larger and larger as the years
Peter will take old man
John out to the barn some Mon
day morning and tell him, in
trembling tones, that he had the
previous night prevailed upon lit
tle Susie, the doctor's daughter, to
to come into the Jones
jfrffly, and hadn't we better ar
range to buy neighbor B's large
Rtnml led-down place. Of course
Ptwas exactly the thing to do
the circuinsfanoes, aud all
JBulb turn in *n 1 halp pay for
perous Pastures and Ex
ich a Number Of Per-
Happy Share.
Peter's and Susie's farm—the cows
u«t failing to do their share.
LINES FALLEN IN PLEASANT PLACES.
Before this is fairly done, John,
Jr., has a talk with his sire, and
Mary Jane, Farmer C's daughter,
is taken into Jones partnership.
This means another farm to be
bought and paid for, another stock
farm established, and it all means
lots of work for old man John;
but he is equal to it. His neigh
bors remark what a rugged strong
man John Jones is for his age,
how well he has been prospered,
what a strong man for good in the
community. John sits on the
porch with the Madam at the
evening hour and confides in her
his belief that he is far better otf
than he would have been had he
been holding down a dry goods
box in front of the store in some
little country town for the past
twenty years. And the Madam—
of course she is better otf here, be
cause this is where her John is.
This all comes of grass and cattle.

DANBURY, N
MR. NUNN WRITES FROM COLO
All the Stokes Boys There Doing
Well—7oo,ooo Acres Of Sugar
Beets In One Valley.
Rocky Ford, Colo., May 20.
Mr. Editor :
It has been a long time since I
saw anything in the' Reporter
from Rocky Ford, so I will give
you a few items.
Spring has opened at last, and
the people are getting along very
nicely here with good prospects as
I ever saw. It is warm, showery
and crops look well.
I suppose all the Stokes boys
here are doing well around Rocky
Ford. John and Reid Smith were
in town Saturday looking well, I
am glad to say.
lam thinking of taking a trip
down to Jamestown this fall. I
hope to meet some of my old
Stokes friends there. I will spend
about six weeks in Virginia and
North Carolina before returning
to Rockv Ford. It has been al
most 5 years since I was in Stokes
and am getting anxious to go back
to my aid stamping grounds once
again.
This valley has 700,000 acres of
sugar beets this year, besides other
crops. This valley needs about
10,000 work hands besides what it
has already. Wages are good. A
man on the farm gets from $25.00
to $35.00 per month. Times are
not like they were in Colorado
seven or eight years ago. They
paid a man $20.00 per month and
let him sleep in the barn. But
now wages are better and a farmer
has to give the hired man a room
and a good bed. But this is right,
for I know by experience. When
I came to Colorado in 1898 I hired
to a sheep man at $20.00 per
month and had to sleep in a box
6x2, and it was 36 degrees below
zero. And I tell you I thought of
"home, sweet home."
I stayed with that hard-ship
five months and quit that man on
Sunday. I bad to walk 15 miles to
towu and it was hot and dry and
no water, so I suffered for water
before I got to town. So that was
a good lesson to me.
Respectfully,
W. C. NUNN.
REMARKABLE RESCUE.

tion, has once ruore been demon

coughing soon ceased ; the bleed

work." Guaranteed cure for
