some manufacturers don't take much pains with
them. - That's why some don't go, while others may
go some, but not enough to amount to anything.
You can't make this complaint about Winchester 22s.
Just as much pains is taken in .'their manufacture as
in that of the large caliber cartridges that cost mpney.
They are loaded by automatic machinery, which
must supply a full charge tp each cartridge and seat V
the bullet properly. They are sure to go off and send I

the earlier the" ground is broken in
the fall the better, but because you
cannot start your garden" until the
first of January is not a sufficient ex

fcest gardens I ever made was not
broken until the first of March. It
would i Have been better bad It been
broken earlier, but I did not let the
