the curd-a thing to be desired. Dip
what whey you can conveniently, then
lift the cloth and with your hands
reach down to the bottom of the vessel
and break the curd very gently. This
will allow the whey to escape still more
freely. This operation may have to be
repeated once or twice until you have
the whey nearly all removed. Then
the cloth is put into a common clothes
basket aud the curd emily placed upon
it. 1t is then worked gently, to further
the escape of the little remaining whey,
and when this done sufficiently the
whey is brought to q heat of 80 degrees
and poured over the curd, perhaps a
quart at a time. This is then gently
worked out, and unless the curd
as you handle it, another whey bath
is used at the same degree of heat. The
curd should squeak some in the hands,
but if the whey is ueed too hot the curd
will be very equeaky and it will also be
tough.

every fifty pounds of milk. This is
then worked into the curd lightly and,
when we'll worked through, the cdrd is
ready for the press. A cloth is vet in
whey and laid over the hoop. The curd
is then placed upon the cloth and this
gradually weights the cloth down into
the bottom of the hoop. Fill in as
quickly as possible and have the curd
broken well. Bring the ends of the
cloth as smoothly as possible over the
top and put on the cover, or follower"
as it is called. A m lever may
be used for pressing. Any farmer
knows how to construct such a thing
in a few minutes. This is then weighted
on the end, and the cheese is left to
press. At night the cheese is taken
from the press and q fresh cloth wet
aud put into the hoop, the cheese turned
over and egain put into the hoop. The
weight is again applied, and in the
morning the cheese is taken out and
rubbed all over thoroughly with butter
to fill all pores. 1t is then slid on a
clean cloth and placed on a smooth
board. The ends of the cloth are brought
up over the top and folded, loosely
enough that the air may help in ripen,
ing it.
A rather warm, airy place will be
best in which to keep the cheese until
ripened. Turn it daily, rubbing we'll,
perhaps adding butter for the first few
rubbings and, if needed, afterward.
There is a preparation now made on
purpose to rub cheese, and it is said to
make the cheese proof against invasion,

first, but I found that cheese banded
and entirely covered with cloth were

CAMPAIGN N
ALEX. MOWER

The Peoples party will not be as
'fush" this year as the two old mo-
nopoly ridden goldbug refugre camps,
but it will not be handicapped like it
was in 1899. That year Chairman
Taubeneck only had 81: 800 for cam
paign purposes and the result was l.
1876, 600 votes for Weaver and many
thousands were not counted in the
South-a remarkable feat.
Up to date, and the Campaign has
not begun yet, four States alone have
contributed $26, 900 for campaign pur-
poses, or nearly ten times as much as
was contributed by all the States 10
1892. THIS gives g. hint as to the sac
rifces to be made this year, and the
wonderful growth of the new party. Il
is unnecessary to say that the money
already in hand is being used to ee5
the financial reform forces in line and
keep up the campaign Of education.
This is the winning year.

The Bank of Roswell.

One of the sound financial institutions
of the Pecos valley and which has won the
entire confidence of the people is the
Bank of Roswell, located on the main
street of the prosperous town of that same
name, and doing general banking BUSH
ness throughout the territory.
This institution was organized July 26,
1890, aud did business for time in the
PauIy Hotel, the first brick building to be
put up in the Pecos valley. At this time
the town numbered less than 200 people,
and the bank outfit had to be hauled in
wagons over 200 miles from Carthage, the
nearest railroad point. The growth of
the bank has been the growth of Roswell
until it stands to-day the largest financial
institution in the territory south of Albu-
querque.
During the year OF 1895 this bank was
removed to more connections quarters in
the Bank block, corner of Sd and Main
streets, where it's quarters are as fine as
those occupied by any institution of a sim
liar character in the southwest. The cap
ital stock is 10000. and from the date Of
organization has paid its stockholders 8
per cent on their investment. and it has
now on hand surplus and undivided
profit amounting to nearly $4,000.
The officers are as follows: John W.
Poe, president; Nathan Jaffa, vlce presi-
dent; E. A. Cahoon, cashier. These gen
tiempn together with Il. A. Richardson,
Fred Roth and j. F. Hinkle form the
board of directors.

Weinberg & Flesher.

The largest stock of cigars and tobacco
in the Pecos valley, and one of the larg-
est to be found anywhere in the territory,
is kept at the store of Weinberg & Flesh
er at Roswell. 1t is the only place in
Roswell where good cigars and tobacco
in any variety is kept for the supply of
both wholesale and retail trade, and the
establishment is such an one as you would
expect to find in a metropolis, both as re-
CARDS the immense variety of first class
brands kept, and also the complete stock.
the like of which can not be found IN the
territory.
The gentlemen OF this firm are well
known in the territory, having been en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits for the past
ten or eleven years at Albuquerque and
several points In Lincoln county and
therefore need no introduction to our peo.
pie. This enterprising firm which started
from small nucleus has grown by the
efforts of these two energetic young men
till now it is one of the leading houses
Of its kind IN the territory.

Quoted being used as lodging house,
where the best rooms in the valley may
be had at all times. The building is sur
rounded by beautiful cottonwood trees
which afford ample shade during the hot
season, and in winter the rooms are
made comfortable by the modern system

These restaurants are owned and oper-
ated by stock company, which main

you are travelling through there look up

of getting your moneys worth.

The Wilson brothers are natives of Old
England and came to the United States
tn 1881. For several years they followed
sheep ranching in Texas with varying de-
grees OF success, and in 1889 removed to
Roswell, where they opened large hard
ware store, which still bears their name.
1t goes without saying that their pat.
ronage must be extensive in order to sup
port at profit the handsome and commo-
dious brick store, standing on the main
street of Roswell-a monument to tile

Roswell. With a Judgment born OF q
com bination Of Yankee shrewdness and
western rustic, he cast his business optic
upon the situation and saw at once that
this town was to become the natural COM
mercial center of the Pecos valley-and
time has but too clearly demonstrated the
soundness of this judgment. Soon after
arriving in Roswell, Mr.. Mccaffey en-
tered the employ of the Jaffa-Praxue Co.,
remaining with this well known firm
about year.
In July, 1893, he was appointed post
master, and about year later when the
office was raised to one of the Sd class, be
received a second appointment to the

Joyce, Pruit & Co.


The largest mercantile house in the Pc
cos valley in known under the above title,
which has become synonym for extern
sive operation and sound financial stand
ing. This house is a successor to the
Sohn R. Joyce Co., and was established
in 1895. In February of the above mem
toned year Joyce, Pruit & Co. bought out
Jsffa, Payne & Co at Roswell, and at about
the same time succeeded in absorbing the
firm of Pierce & Walker at Eddy In
both OF these towns this company now
maintains large stores we'll stocked with
general merchandise goods. gro-
ceries, hardware, etc., at bed rock prices,
which they are able to quote, by reason
of their purchases being made in large
lots. To the prevailing low prices and
fair dealing of this firm, is due in no
small degree to the extensive trade which
they now command through the Pecos
valley.

of the first and finest ranches in the vicin-
ity of Roswell, which was sold some time
ago to Mr.. Hagerman, but which is still
known for miles about as the Poe ranch.
In 1890 Mr.. Poe. in company with sew
eral other wealthy citizens, incorporated
the Bank OF Roswell, OF which he Is now
president. This institution has capital
stock of $4,000 with surplus of $500,
Goes general banking business and en-
joys the perfect confidence OF the whole
territory.
Mr.. Poe is owner of the Bank building
and has also erected palatial bone for
himself and family that would do credit
to any metropolis. In addition to this he
owns considerable real estate about town
which is constantly sppreciating in value
and no man could stand higher among his
fellow men.

the responsible position which he holds
in public affairs.

and with keen interest watched her

One of the largest and most prosperous
general grocery houses in the Pecos valley
is operated at Roswell bv the gentlemen
whose names stand at the head of this
sketch. These names also stand for
sound financial standing and business
probity that has never been questioned.
The business was established in 1894 by
Mr.. T. M. McCord, we'll known in the
southwest as a man of enterprise and
public spirit, having been engaged in the
real estate business in Texas for several
years prior to taking up residence at
Roswell.
On January l, 1895, Mr.. F. H. Caller
entered the firm as junior partner. This
house carries complete stock in the
grocery line and drives a thriving and
rapidly increasing trade in all parts Of the
great Pecos valley,

high degree of tact and ability. During
these "hard times" years the Roswell
postoflice has shown steady increase in
receipts, 1896 showing about 20 per
cent over lS94-95, and nearly double that
of anv other previous year. Mr.. McGalfey
is treasurer of the Roswell Club, and
also holds place on the board Of direc-

a graduate of Amherst College in the class
of 1883, but has been closely identified
with the development Of the territory Of
New Mexico since 1884. From that year
