Mac Smith in the Mountains
The speaker derides Colorado editors and outlines a hard earned path to stock success. He urges young men, including Alfred, to begin with frugal saving, build a herd from six cows, establish a dugout or cabin in Colorado or Wyoming plains, and steadily grow to a thousand head, emphasizing hard work and self reliance. He ties stock farming to personal rebirth and moral reform.
