USING HOME PEACHES AT HOME.Tin's year there will he a great crop of peaches in the l’ecos Valley, as well as of cherries, plums, and small fruit. What are wo goiog lo do with them?Of course the growers can ship them out, if they can find a market for them, which may be done and which may not be done. They can he given away or left to rot on the trees.Hut. neither of these courses is advisable. The Pecos Valley offers t market for a great amount of this -tort of fruii. In the past we have .oiiBumi’d wliut we have raised and tnirehtiscd from (lie outside a still greater amount of what we have continued in the raw state and during the year we have bought thousands .if dollars worth of canned and pie ••itveil frulls. This money lias gout way to enrich industries in othei ■ru ts of the country. It was alt right because wo did not raise the raw tiatiwfal at home and were com pulled f we wanted the canned or preserved fruit, to scud away for it.This year a somewhat different situation confronts tlio valley. If nothing unforeseen interferes we will have fruit in nlnimlnnce, perhaps as 'inich as the valley can consume and jerl)sips more. It is a difficult mater lo figure on. But wu can save thousands of dollars from going out of (ho valley tr the fruit is handled it home, or'as much of il as can he handled.Why not have a grand preserving mil canning bee in the valley? V-'ki iol have the wives and mot tiers and l:uu;liCeis, especially the daughters bio have been learning at the cook ng school how to put up fruil, to diow their skill, and have preserve? uni spiced fruit of all kinds grown here for the husbands and the sons and brothers, a? well as themselves, all winter?It would be mighty good practice for the wiimen-folk, and mighty good git ins for i he men-folk.Xo doubt the local mere hams would bo glad to sell the sugar, the vinegat. the spices and the cans and jars that ill tie re*inired. And later oil. the money tlial would otherwise have ::):ie lo Hie canneries and preservers if tiie north, the east and the far west, could be used to buy groceries, dress goods, slices, hats, hardware, and evi-n a null of paint fur it:n house.Why iml try it for one year and si -i’d v i! uoilis cm I?I.il us ('AN at hnif!«■ - -Mr. \V.
