THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEF MAY 3, 1014. Farming and Stock Raising on Top of the Andes (Copyrighted, 1914. by Brank O. Carpenter.) am ni orewnni, a nine town nil the great plateau that lies be- j tweon tho two tangos of the i Andes. Tills plateau ru.s north and routn (or a thou- i rand or mure miles through Ecuador and Peru. I am now at the southern end ot It, several hun dred miles south ot the region I have described In my letters from Cerro do Pasco. To reach Corro, I had to cross the mountains at an altitude of 13.0 ) ' feet. The pass by which I came here I? only 1,000 feet lower, and It was through a driving snowstorm that I slid over tlv mountains from the Pacific slope to the Atlantic. It took me three days by rail to get here from the ocean. My rond was the (Southern Railway of Peru, which Is on ot the beat managed In the republic Its trains start on time and get there. The ride hero was comparatively comfortable although a part of my journey was not on the express. By the fast trains It Is pos sible to reach Cuzco from the ocean In side of three days, t am taking four. In order that 1 may better see the c-juntr and people. The first stage of my tiavels was up the mountains from thn port of Mollendo to Arequlpa. That city Is the metropolis of southern Peru. It Is 7.W0 feet above the sea, and Inreaching It you cover only a little more than half of the altltudo to the top of the Andes. 1 stayed there for a day or so, nnd then went on to Jullnca, a town a slioit dis tance from Lake Tltlettoa. The latter Journey requires a full day's rnllrouil travel. During It I crossed the puss jf Crucero Alto, and In coming down to Jullaca fell to a height ot u llttto less than 18,000 feet. The high altitude af fected mc, and I felt a slight touch of soroche at the hotel where we stopped over night Jullaca Is the juctlon where the Southern railroad divides; ono branch going southward to Puno on Iako Tl ttcacs, and the other northward over the great plnteau to the valley and ancient city ot Cuzco. This journey Is made by the express In one day. Tho or dinary trains take two days, and there fore after nine hours from Jullaca I havo to stop over night at Blcuanl.. Tomorrow I shall resumo my Journey to tho famed city of the Incan, which Is about 10) miles further on. Jimrner Is Wonderful. I have already described tho ride over the Peruvian desert from the ocean to Arequlpa. Tho Journey from thcro to tho top of the mountains Is even more won derful. Tou start from tho lovel of Mexico City and wind your way around Mount Mlstl, which Is more than 19,003 feet high, and at the samo tlmo you can see other mountains, such as Chachacani, which aro moro than four miles above the sea and which are covered with snow all the year round. Higher still thcro are mountains covered with glaciers and on the way up the valley to Cureo at La Raya you see glaciers In ' far distance, which must cover many square miles. Tho greater part ot tho way is through extinct volcanoes. The slope of Jtount Mlstl la covered with great blbcks of black lava and the mountains that waif this high valley In tho region whore 1 now am have Niagaras of lava which aeem to have been frozen as they flowed from the crattra above down tho stopes. In places you look over the walls ot such - rock a thousand feet high, and ubovo thorn see. glaciers on mountain that are more than four miles In height.

They are the wild half-tlsters and brothers of the llamas and alpacas and are smaller than cither. They cannot be domesticated, but they wilt-sometimes come down from the mountains and mix with (he flocks of llamas, alpacas and sheep on the plains. They are otter, shot by the In dian and Cholos, although this Is against the law. Tho vicuna wool Is finer than that of the alpaca, and it brings a high price. There Is so little ot it, however, that It Is hardly worth mention, much or f-e vicuna cloth, so-called, being mado of alpaca wool. Tho vicunas are yellow In color, and their woolly fur Is as soft ns that of a seal. For this reason their skins arc used to make the rugs so highly prized by the tourists. These rugs vary In value according to the part of the animal from which the pieces ot skin come. A rug made from the mecks or legs Is much more valuable than one from pieces taken from the rest of the body. During my visit to South America fif teen years agri I bought a beautiful rug In La Paz, Bolivia, for about $20 In gold. I am told that similar ones will now cost J00 and upward. PRANK G. CARPENTER.

Tho average altitude of the roglon i tefcr to Is 12.CO) or 13,000 feet abovo the sea, and It runs from that to moro than 14,000 feet. There are millions of acres of such land la Peru, with a climate In which whlto men can live. They comprise a great part of tho wide valley that runs north and south through tho continent, and at this altltudo they support hun dreds of thousands of Indians and tens of thousands of cattle and millions ot alpacas, llamas and sheep. Tho highest of the plains aro covered with natlvo grasses, which aro short and close to tho earth. Scattered over them are the tufts of wlro grass, the new sprouts of which are eaten by the stock and the coarVr shunned by all but the 'llamas. Hero and thcro near every Indian hut is a small patch ot potatoes or qulnua or barley, and there Is no doubt but that tho whole region might bo plowed up and greatly Improved. SlakliiR Improvements. And this brings me to tho movement for the Improvement of tho high plateaus ot tho Andes, which has been Inaugurated by the Peruvian corporation, a British company that has charge of the railroad for tho government.

This crop now reaches to the height of my kneo In the high alti tudes, but to the height of my shoulder where the lands are a little lower and consequently warmer. Use Mud I-'cncea. In the valley of Cuzco, which we shall go through tomorrow, the crops are still more advanced, and the barley, which Is green In the highlands, is there almost ready for harvest. The lands ot theso valleys look very different from the pla teaus, that aro fed alone by the rains. Tho irrigated lands are exceedingly val uable. They have all been taken up by the whites or Hie Cholos, and aro ex ploited by them with Indian labor. Hern the lands are often divided by mud fences. The fields are consecutive, and you see the villages mado of mud huts which aro occupied by the Indians, who do the hard work. On the nonlrrlgated plateaus the land yields much less and tho greater part of them are given over to pastures. Here you find hundreds of Indian squatters, each of whom has his little mud hut, with a corral or so mado of stones or mud Into which his flocks are driven at night. He may havo two or three acres ot potatoes or qulnua, and perhaps a small patch ot barley, hut ss a rule the crop Is grown only to supply his own needs. The methods ot such farm ing aro crudo to an extreme, but tho patches seem clean and the Indians work very hard. Stock Chief Industry. The chief Industry of this great plateau ot the Andes Is the raising ot stock. I have seen millions of sheep on my way across tho plateuu, and tens ot thousands ot alpacas, Hamas, its well ns many horses, cattle and donkeys. The donkeys and llamas form tho beasts of burden, and you seo them driven In long caravans over tho plain, followed by ln dlan men and women! who urn cither thulr owners or in charge of them for their masters, I never get tired ot watch Intf the llamos. One can see them evor.V' where on tho plateau. They walk In caravans along the trolls; they crowd tho streets of the villages und droves ot them line tho plaras of every city and town. They are, in fact, the freight trains of tho high Andes, nnd they com pote with the railroad. They carry grain, vegetables,' hides, alcohol, coca leaves and goods of every description. Many ot them are used to transfer the oro from the mines to the smelters, and the farm ers employ them to take their goods to tho towns and railroads. Mamnn Pnck Frclnht, The llamas pack tho freight on their hacks, the burden being tied on like ' saddle and not In panniers, ns upon donkeys. There Is a current story that a llama will carry Just 100 pounds, and that It you put on one ounce moro ho will lie down, ana' no whipping or heat ing can make him go on. This state ment Is ridiculous. The llama, If over burdened, will surely lie dqwn and re fuse to move, but as to his having the Intelligence to know when the hundred- pound load Is reached, that Is one ot the fictions ot traveling" Munchausens. In deed, there are very few llamas that can carry as much as 109 pounds. The ani mals are of different strengths, and tho average load Is about soventy-tlve or eighty pounds', although there are some beasts that will carry 120. A matter of a pound or so makes no difference, and It la only when the animal feels that he has much more than his strength will support that he refuses to go. Stronsr Camels. The llamas are of dlfter-nt sixes, ac cording to their ages and the care that has been taken of them. When full grown their heads reach a height of six feet or more; but they have long recks and they hold these straight up, which makes them look taller. They by the Indians to spin thread and make cloth. The meat Is also too coarse for tho markets, Alpacas More Beautiful. The alpacas are much smaller than the llamas, and In some respects tho more beautiful. They are a great deal more delicate, and are not used as beasts of burden, although there are crosses be tween the alpaca and llama which act as freight carriers. They are usually to be seen In the llama trains and are often of a brownish yellow color. The alpacas one sees on the pastures, and thero aro millions of them on the high Andes, are white, black or brown. Sometimes they are spotted. They do not thrive any- whoro below a mile above tho sea, and they aro mostly found at a height ot two miles or more. They have a tine long wool that brings t or 5 cents moro a pound than sheep's wool. They are kept PRATTLE OF THE KIDDIES.

The farming I have referred to Is whero the moisture Is supplied entirely by the rainfall. This Is scanty, but It Is enough for barlt-y and grasses ot various kinds, and It is a question whether with dry farming it would not be sufficient for wheat, it relate mostly to tho pampa. which Is 13.000 feet high. It Is different waerc the soil can be Ir rigated. Everywhere along tljo railroad from the sea to the tops of the Andes thore are irrigated valleys. On the west ern slopes the water supply Is poor, and the streams are small, but a little water makes tho desert a garden. The Chile) river Is one strip of green all tha way ; from the sea to the tops of the Andes, ' and about Arequlpa It raises wheat, bar luy, corn and all of the vegetables and ' fruits of the tropin and temperate xones. Crossing oer the coast range and com- Ins into the pluttau. you ftnd cultivated lands along both sides of the Vllcanota river all the way down to Cuzco. The valley in the plateau Is In fuct a series of little gardens ot Kden, the water being carried out over them so that It falls from level to level. The fields aro in ter races that are now green with luxuriant crops. In, coming here to Riauanl I saw many patches of barley, potatoes and bodies, like that ot a sheep, and com paratively long legs. They look, in short. like miniature camels, and I am told that they have the same power as the camel of going for several days with out food or water. Many ot the farms are long distances from the towns or railroads, end a llama has often to make a Journey of four or five days or a week In carrying his load to and from home, During this tlmo he eats practically nothing, and gets along without water. This seems Incredible, but I am told It Is true. The llama wool Is coarse, and It has no value tn commerce. It Is usod "Those Drawers Won't Stick, John."
