another In Ohio. To these they have taken 
people front the cities tilth) Hiding them In 
obtaining a home and to better their con-

Mr. William Curtis, correspondent of I he 
Chicago Record, thu* describee the Colora- 
do colony: 
"There Is no neater group ot houses In 
Colorado, and no more contented communi- 
ty In the world. Nearly every one hits 
written to friends urging them tn Join 
the next colony that cornea out; and those 
I talked with were witbuslnatlc over their 
success arid the pleasures they enjoy It 
was difficult for some of them to find 
words to express their emotion.*’ 1 et near- 
ly nil these people came from the city, with 
little or no experience In farm life. 
We trust tl»nt a brighter day Is dawning, 
when not only men of wealth will aid In 
opening up farms, and give the poor man 
an opportunity to earn bis living, but also 
when our whole educational system will 
give more instruction In agricultural and 
horticultural subject* and leas for the pro- 
fessions. Wlien labor In these lines will 
be looked upon a« Just u* honorable and 
dignified as any other.
