THE IRRIGATION AGE.

Agriculture 



The Potato Special train sent out by 

 the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad un- 

 der the auspices of the Colorado Agri- 

 cultural College, is making history and 

 is daily adding to the popularity of the 

 Great Scenic line whose management 

 not only encourages but lends most val- 

 uable aid in carrying to the farmers 

 along their line in Colorado the men ol' 

 science and practice who have made a 

 success of potato growing. This feature 

 of extension work, which is conducted 

 by Prof. H. M. Cottrell and his asso- 

 ciates, is meeting with the enthusiastic 

 and cordial approval of the farmers. 

 Crowds travel miles to greet these zeal- 

 ous workers for Colorado's welfare. 

 The best possible demonstration that 

 the work is being well done is shown 

 in the results produced. The farmers 

 are not only receiving instruction in 

 seed selection, cultivation, marketing, 

 etc., but by means of modern machinery 

 'carried along for the purpose, practical 

 demonstrations are given and methods 

 explained by specialists who have de- 

 voted the best part of their lives to the 

 study. Some of the most successful 

 farmers in the state are giving freely 

 of their time and experience to the grow- 

 ers of the western slope who are anxious 

 to profit by the work offered by the 

 College. 



LOW PRICES ON HIGH-GRADE 

 VEHICLES AND HARNESS. 



There are few business concerns in 

 this country that have a stronger hold 

 upon the public than the Elkhart Car- 

 riage and Harness Manufacturing Com- 

 pany. For over thirty-five years over 

 a third of a century they have been 

 manufacturing vehicles and harness and 

 selling them, not to jobbers, wholesalers 

 and dealers, but always direct to the peo- 

 ple who use them. 



Direct dealing would not alone have 

 given them the hold they have upon the 

 public. But they have dealt honorably. 

 They have been manufacturing high- 

 class goods and selling them direct on 

 narrow margins of profit. People all 

 over this country have learned to know 

 this and the result is that the Elkhart 

 Carriage and Harness Manufacturing 

 Company now enjoys the proud distinc- 

 tion of being the largest manufacturers 

 in the world doing business direct with 

 the people. 



It goes without saying that we think 

 it one of the best places in the country 

 to buy vehicles and harness. The ve- 

 hicles and harness are known every- 

 where as high grade. As to prices, no 

 one can read the advertisements regu- 

 larly appearing in this paper without be- 

 ing convinced that they are right. 



The Company's great catalogue shows 

 200 styles of Vehicles and 65 styles ol' 

 Harness. The time honored Elkhart 

 plan is to send everything on approval. 

 It costs you nothing if you are not satis- 

 fied on style, quality or price. Write the 

 Company for the big catalogue, at Elk- 

 hart, Indiana. It means the saving of 

 from a third to a half on the price on 

 everything you may want to buy in the 

 vehicle or harness line.
