How To Preserve Sweet
Potatoes Through Winter.
(Texico Trumpet).
CUrit cWnfy is due of the
greatest sweet potato countries
in the world. It is eas to raise
potatoes here, but out farmers
have had trouble in kwping
them through the winter in
this high and dry altitude, the
potatoes drying out evaporat
ing until there is riothirig left of
thorn but -i husk. . A farmer
near Texico eats sweet potatoas
the year around, and this is the
way (aided by his wife, of couse)
he does it.
When the potat oes are gath
ered in the fall they set aside a
tub full, or such a quantity as
th, family will eat before they
evaporate. The rest they put
in water on the 6tove and bring
nearly to a boil, or until the
peding will slip uff. After Ink
ing th peeling off, the potatoes
are sliced and lain in I hi sun to
curt-.-, tltr sam as i: drying fruit

The old adage that a! rh'a'n is
not a man until he has known
what it is to strive for a liveli
hood is indorsed by the great
king of commerce, Sir Thomas
Lipton. Sir Thomas is very
decided in -his views. It is a
good thing, he says, for a young
man to he poor For this reas

chances are that he bvhig well
(.ff he will liivo no incentive to
scizt? ojij ot uiijilits as limy come
his way. Suspo', however, a
young man is born poor and has
to ivjtk int evpry pemiy he owns.
Dosen't he realiie the falue of
money, and is he not always on
the qui vivo to make the best of
his chances? ,
Then, again, the yonng man
born poor keep i green about

The young man born rich
is very apt to b- part icular about
his hours of l;d)Oi not so the
young man who has been learn

The young fellow wants
to get along in tli3 world, and is
on the wrong track. Employers
don't like them m who is always
watching the clock.
Again, the poor young man
after business hours, is more apt
to try to improve hxmself than is
the rich young man The rich
young man feels rJiat he has no
need of improving himself in the
way of education; the right kind
of a poor young man feels that
he must. And that is just the

OBITUARY.
Th4sadnew8 reaches us of the
death of ouf' respected citzen
George C Heath. Sir. Heath left
here several months ago, for his
old home, at Mena, Arkansas;
and expected to go father East,
to a health resort, but after
reaching Mena he grew so feeble
he was unable to -continue the
joOrh&y, and continued failing
until on the 1st tjt the month he
succumbed to his affliction and
crossed over to the great beyond.
All his family were with him at
the last hour except bis two
Children who reside here, W. J.
Heath and Mrs. Baker VVallaco.
Mr. Heath Was 60 years old.
and up until four ytkta ago
was a hale, hearty man. At that
time he became afficted with
Stomach Trouble, from which
he never found relief, and which
was finally the occasion- of his
death He came to New Mexico
in 1908, hoping to improve his
condition, but received little if
any benefit, as the disease had
taken too firm a hold to be over
come. Seven childien and and a wife
survive the death of father and
husband, and they and the num
erous friends have the kindest
spmpathy of this community.

dom has seen fit to take from
us our beloved brother, Geo. C.

Can You Beat This

Hagerman boasted within a
day or two ago o a giant species
of tho porker variety which on
the day it was h aded to its own
funeral tipped the beam on its
cloven hoofs at 550 pounds, and
which had to be cut in three
pieces after it was dressed, beforo
it conld be succssfully weighed
in the butcher shop where the
massive head, loins and other
bortions resposed last Saturduy
awaiting a buyer. The T50
pound porker in life was ot the
Poland China and Duroc Jersey

to live fifteen short months by
the owner, his Honor, the Mayor

ship had eaten long enough at
the farm trough, which during
the apple season last year was
daily filled to overflowing with
specked apples, transfered his
good will and interest in the
pork alive to Walton and Block

lost no time in dispatching it to
the land of oblivion. But with
all this wealth (.f pork on the
Hagerman market the price did
not drop. Register Tribune.
