EMBEDDING WIRES.
Waxing the Wires with a Brush and
Spoon Combined.

When fun sheets of foundation are
used in wired frames it is always de-
stable to put the frames in use soon
after the imbedding is done, or the
wires are likely TO cleave away from
the sheet Of foundation, and this is
especially likely TO occur when such
frames OF foundation are hauled to
Outyards.
AS the spur wire-imbodler comes so

ton in two. we have. in the past.
found it better to use the old Easter
day rocker wire-imbedder TO avoid oc-
casional trouble from the sheets
breaking CT pulling apart where the
Embedding had been done.
Now we find It safe 20 use the spur
imbedder, and the sheet Of foundation
will never pun apart at the wires. 10
is now our practice 20 wax the wires
in place after Embedding them into
the sheet OF foundation. This in

Mrs. II. G.. Howard.


caItM. NY
Dear Mother .-As ii has beer
some time since | have written Il
you and | am in camp alone tonight,
l will let you hear from me and also
tell you of my hunt to New Mexico.
After cooking two months for Harry
Millhouse while he was thrashing,
after We finished up him and his
brother and | got US some good guns
and a wagon and team. We loaded
up and started TO New Mexico from
Olniha, Colo. so | will give you my
trip as | have il written.
Oct. II. 1907. Left Olniha at
day-break, passed through Folar at
10 o'clock, took dinner at the HE
line ditch on the Arkansas river and
all of the land from the ditch to the
rlver is irrigated land and is worth
from 1925 to 5000 per acre.
Took supper tonight at Red-top,
that is large cattle ranch and Is a
nice place. 1t has plenty Of water
and is on Mustang creek.
Second day. We crossed Mustang
valley this morning. We saw a
large bunch Of antelopes and killed
one Of them. There are not so many
of them as they are hunted with
greyhounds and lot Of them are
caught that way.
Noon. We are camped for dinner
on Cedar Hill just across the Mus
tang valley, and there is one herd Of
horses that has about Is, 900 head OF
horses In it and that is the reason it
is called Mustang valley because
there are so many Mustang horses
there.
We are camped tonight on a large
creek and there is some farming
done. Most all of the people are
Mexicans. We have crossed the
country l40 miles and have seen only
one ranch.
Third day at noon. We are at
Walsonburg now having some noun
tain shoes put on our horses. Wal
sonburg is a nice little town. 1t is
on the G. r. 6. road. 1t is a coal
mining town.
We are camped tonight at Levita.
We came up the creek valley from
Walsonburg. 1t is fine valley, all
under irrigation. and all of the land
is farmed by Mexicans and most all
of them have a small herd of sheep.
Levita is a small town, but there is
lots work going on here. 1t has
large -four mill and saw mill and the
railroad keeps several extra engines
to help the trains across the noun
tains.
We have been travelling in very
broken country today, deep canyons
aud heavy timber such as spruce,
pine and cedar.
Fourth day. Left Levita this
morning and struck the Indian creek
pass two miles out Of Levita. We
are over the mountains now. 1t
took US seven hours to get from the
front of the Indian creek pass to the
top. 1t took all three of US to keep
the wagon in the road. The most Of
the way the road was solid rock and
in some places We could look straight
down for a thousand feet. Such
places as that did not look very good
to the driver as the road was about
one foot wider than the wagon.
There is lots OF water in the canyon.
Tie water is sure fine as it is melt
ing snow from off the mountains.

We saw a bunch of elks just now.
To look at them it don't look like
they could get through the timber
at all as their horns are so large, but
they can run as fast through the
thick timber as horse can on level
ground. There are plenty of deer,
bears and mountain lions up here.
One of the boys killed nice little
deer this morning and it is almost as
good as a Kentucky chicken.
As we left the top of the mountain
and started down on the West side,
we could see large cloud hanging
on the side of the mountain. When
we got down two miles we were in
the cloud and it was showing hard
and went two miles and were out of
the cloud and the sun was shining
brightly while it was still showing
above US.
Fifth day. We camped last night
ten miles from the top of the range.
As we were coming down the canyon
this morning there was a small
stream of water along the road. We
all got out of the wagon and in FIVE
minutes killed ten pounds of noun
tain trout.
The grass was green all the way
down the canyon on the West side
of the mountain and | saw some of
the finest cattle that | have ever
seen in the West and they are almost
as wild as deer.
We came down Utah creek for
fifteen miles this afternoon. We
saw the roundup wagon as the cattle
men were rounding up the cattle to
ship the beef and brand the summer
calves. They had about fifteen
thousand head Of cattle and seven
hundred head of saddle horses.
There were about seventy.fve boys |
with the wagon.

and looked at them. They are made

fort is at the foot Of Sero Blanco
the highest peak in Colo
RADIO, which is IA, 400 feet high.
Sixth day. We are camped today
at Sonlu, eighteen miles from Fl.
Carton. Sonlu is a small town, all
Of the people are Mexicans and all
the houses are made of mud. This
town is in a fine valley and there are
large herds of sheep and goats around
here and there is great deal of
farming done here.
We camped tonight in New Mexi-
co at Gustilla and il is showing hard

boys have got the beds made down

miles down this valley today. 1t is
about fifty miles wide and is fine
land. They expect to irrigate this
valley from Fl. Garlon to Lapesta,
New Mexico, a distance Of seventy
miles.
Seventh day. We travelled South
today along the snowy range and We
are camped tonight with an old pros

SOUTHERN
AGRICULTURE
STORAGE OF SWEET POTATOES,
Methods Of Storing, Handling, and
Marketing During the Winter
Months.

Unlike most perishable products
the sweet potato requires warmth and
dry atmosphere while in storage The
method of storing will depend both
upon the locality and the quantity OF
potatoes to be cared for. The TEN
perature and conditions of a rather
cool living room are admirably adapted
for keeping sweet potatoes intended
for home use in the North, while in
the South they may be placed in pits
or stored in outdoor cellars. The
home supply may be placed in crates
and stored in loft over the kitchen
part of the dwelling. Sweet potatoes
should not be stored in bags or In
barrels without ventilation.
Pits and Cellars.
Where large quantities of sweet
potatoes are stored for winter market
ing, the method employed in the
Southern States is to place them in
outdoor pits and cellars, while in the
North some form of heated storage
house will be required. Whether the
storage be in pits, cellars, or house,
O dry, warm atmosphere with ventila-
ton is essential TO good keeping,
Storage pits should be located
where the drainage is good. First, q
