Acme, Can,
Jan. LIST. 1911.
Dear Crawford,
We are all well heie, climate
seems to agree with us, all getting
fieshy. Grandma Smith is heavi-
er than she has been for ten or
fifteen years. We had some cold
weather here during the last few
days of the year but is getting
warmer now.
This country looks a great deal
like the country between Greeley
and Denver in Colorado, only we
have a native wild grass sod here,
which ground, if cut over every
year would only cut about one
half ton TO the acre, so it is only
cut once every three or four years.
1t takes a great deal of moisture
to grow a crop of wild hay, and
that they do not have here. This
hay is good for COWS but is very
poor for horses Wyoming horses
especially.) OF course the land
is all owned privately and is COM
paratively we'll settled up, q great
deal of it is broken up and sown
to wheat, oats, barley, fax potatoes
and garden vegetables.
Yours truly,
JIG. Brewer

"Oh, no." Louise said. II had better

In the west the clouds were black

KEEP EGGS IN WATER GLASS
Can Be Kept Fresh In Solution for
Eight to Twelve Months-An-
other Excellent Formula.

Water glass can be obtained of
most druggists and Is a heavy, almost
colorless liquid, costing from 10 to 80
cents pound. Eggs will keep per-
fectly In this solution for eight to
twelve months, says the Agriculturist.
The other formula is to mix one
pound fresh stone lime and one-half
pound table salt with four quarts boil
Ing water. After stacking and settling
draw off the clear liquid and pour
over the eggs SO as to cover them.
This is an old-fashioned method, but
is very effective. Eggs kept in water
glass may be taken out during fall
and winter and sold for packed eggs
at about Ave cents dozen less than
the price Of fresh eggs. Many fam
lilies can safely pack few dozen to
use for cooking purposes In winter
but whether 1t is a safe business ven
ture to put down several hundred
dozen Is another question. The safes,
method. and the only one available OF
large scale, is to use cold storage
where the eggs can be held at % t.
80 degrees. A temperature below q
degrees Is required to freeze the egs
and split the shell.

Voiced His Sentiments.

The large proportion of voluntary
American exiles belongs to the fair
sex, but many of them insist on their
husbands accompanying them, and
these matrimonial martyrs, who come
under the heading of the genus hen
pecked," would greatly prefer to live
in America. In this connection an
American consul told story which
gives picture of the hen-pecked hus-
band. It was Fourth of July gath
ering In large hotel and the cham
payne had passed around when the
consul, ADDRESSING Mr.. A., who had
been nine years in Switzerland with
his wife without returning to Amer
lea, said: You must be delighted
with your stay abroad, as you have
remained so long"
Delighted be damned" replied Mr..
A., looking defiantly at his wife across
the table. 81 would, rather live in
hell"
The words were uttered in a loud
voice and with feeling, and the gen.
eral silence was broken by the speak
er's wife, who, smiling sweetly, said.
MY husband is slightly exaggerating
the warmth of the place, but you
must know we come from Pittsburg."
Laughter saved the situation.

WAS IN DELICATE POSITION
Reluctant to Express Disapproval
Like Rest of Audience.

The play was an execrably bad one,
and the company playing 1t was even
worse. When the curtain fell on the
first act, sounds of marked disappro-
baton were heard from all parts Of
the house. One man alone sat quiet.
At the close of the second act a per-
feet tornado of means, cat-calls and
Kisses broke out. Still the man sat
unmoved. At last a man sitting in
the next seat turned to him and said:
Pardon me, but are you not dis
gusted with this wretched play?"
II am. indeed" heartily concurred
the silent one.
Then why don't you signify your
displeasure like the rest of us?"
We'll, you see, it's this way with
me. I am here ON free ticket. and
as l am getting something for moth
ing, l hardly feel justified in express
ing my disapproval; but I'll tell you

are encircled with zones of vegeta-

Between $500 and $500 feet the
yellow pine is the dominant tree.
From $500 to 10000 feet the Douglas
fir. the silver fir, the cork fir, and the

A Tragic Incident.

A druggist and his assistant were
sadly worried recently. A little girl
probably six years old, wandered in
sobbing bitterly. She was lost. AS
long as she cried nothing could be
done, for she was the only one com
petent to give the name and address
of the lost home. Working under this
theory the druggist fed her chocolates
to quiet her. 1t was of no avail, how.
ever, for at each question the sob.
bling was resumed. The tears made
light streaks down the little choco
late coated countenance.
Finally the mother found her baby
She took the child from the store
and as she stopped to wipe away the
visible signs of grief. she asked why
the druggist had not been told the
name and number Here is what the
listening clerk heard:
Il w-w-w-was af-ff-fraid he'd
l-l-l-laugh!"

Snowfall Within Doors.

1t is quite possible to have a fall OF
snow within doors. Indeed the thing
has actually occurred, and the cause
was no other than that which pro
duces a fall of snow In the open air
l. o., subsection of moist atmosphere
TO temperature cold enough to crys-
talize the drops of moisture that were
formed.
The event. which Is of authentic re-
cord, occurred In Stockholm, states 8
writer In Harper's Weekly. On very
cold, clear night an evening party was
In progress. Many persons were gath
cred In single room, and 1t became
30 warm that several women com
planned Of feeling Ill. An attempt was
made to raise a window. but the
sashes had been frozen In their places.
and 1t was impossible TO move them.
In these circumstances there was but
one thing to do. 1t was necessary that
air should be admitted, so a pane OF
glass was smashed Immediately
cold current of air rushed In, and at
the same instant flakes Of snow were
seen to fall to the floor In all parts Of
the room. The entrance of frosty
current into an atmosphere saturated
with moisture had produced a snowfall
indoors.

A Greenwood Rack.

A skillful device for furnishing
green feed to poultry consists of a
frame made several inches high and
covered with netting. Oats, or any pre-
ferred crop may be sowed and the
rack with netting placed over It when
of suitable size and the fowls then
turned loose. They seem to delight
in walking about on the netting and
shipping off the green blades within
reach. Yet, they cannot get at the
roots to scratch and the plants have
a chance to renew their growth thus
pruned off. and the fowls are contin.
ually adding fertilizing material. For
poultry kept on close range as a
means OF furnishing food the plan
is certainly commendable.

Balfour had intended to propose be-
fore the days trip was over; but his
car stopped in the middle of dusty
road. When he had tinkered for a
half hour, and had brought no results,
he said to the lady of his heart:
II am afraid l cannot do anything.
Will you walk to town with me, or
stay here alone?"
1T looks 80 hot" Louise responded,
lazily, 'and am not afraid. You had
better leave me here while you go
and hunt someone"
We'll. at least. I'll move the car
where the shade will make 1t cooler,
said Balfour. Surely nothing can
happen to you while am gone"
"Of course not" Louise answered.
She did not feel SO secure, how
ever. when her escort disappeared
over the brim of the hill. Leaning
back against her comfortable cush-
ions, she pondered over the situation.
1t might be an hour, two hours, before
Balfour came back She was tired
and hungry. In a hamper strapped
to the side of the car there was food.
She was not sure, however, that she
should open 1t before Balfour came
back.
Suddenly she opened her eyes as a
voice near her said, Can l be of
service7"
A tall thin man In shabby clothes
stood close to the car. His hat was
on, and showed his hair curling close
about his white forehead.
No." Louise said coldly, there is
nothing you can do. Mr.. Balfour has
gone to town for assistance. I expect
him back at any moment"
He was not rebuffed, however, by
her declination of his offer. Il know
something Of motors" he said. Per
haps I might help out"
He made an examination deity, and
found and repaired the trouble. "If
