Ever since Mr. Taft became pro.vAlont Colonel Roosevelt has been one of the editors of The Outlook, a weekly publication having a nation-wide circulation, and since bis return from bis African hunting trip bo has made numerous speeches throughout this country, prob ably. in excess of one hundred, and up to this writing he lias never in one ol his speeches or one of his editorials retracted one word of the many splendid tributes which he has paid to Taft's wisdom, integrity and statesmanship, nor lias he ever ; felt called upon to apologize for . his strenuous and unqualified in dorsement of Taft's fitness to be come president of the United! States. There is an old ladage , that "Silence gives consent,” and Colonel Roosevelt s silence can only be construed to mean that . he, in common with tin* great majority of the people of this country, sincerely believes that 1 President Taft Jias fully meas ured up to Roosevelt’s estimate ; of his character and fitness for I the presidency, and ‘‘That iie al- s ways a little more tnan makes good what he does promise, and j tout while steadily advancing he never permits himself to be led j into foolish excess which would damage the very cause he cham pions.” (Jhronicle News.

Every limn ought to plant an acre or two and grow up as he finds it pays. Everybody having some stock ought to have a silo, for which in this country a hole in the ground is good, and cost in that case is small. Those with wind mills should have reservoirs, nig mon ey in a little ground irrigated. Not enough use made of the wat er and wind. This country wifi support prosperous homes of from one to three sections to the home. As elsewhere in the world, farming here and stock raising should go together Don’t put a lot of money in tools. Use a few tools and use them well., Gasoline pumping doesn’t pay beyond forty feet for irrigation. Wind costs nothing—use it. Of course it’s essential to put tin* host fact* possible on the lec u re, hut 1 consider the man shallow on dry farming. His talk along this lint* was mostly vacuous, and if that’s the best they can do at the Fort Collins experiment station anil college, it would pay them to send a man down here to Baca Co. to get a few lessons at first hand.
