Coouple of old pictures

[reb]

Going through some negatives my Mom had, I found a couple I thought would be of interest here. These were taken in the 1930s in Colorado, one in the Walden area. The other I don't know.

If I had to guess, I would guess that the one with the horses is earlier than the 30's...although I know some farmers did use horses that late. I have never seen hay treated like the picture shows.

My mom said that picture was taken in 1938, just before she and dad were married.

Interesting pix. What are the numbers shown in some of the pix? Some kind of museum or display?

That's a version of a "beaver slide" to stack hay, common in Montana at least

Thanks for the name...I looked it up, and it's very interesting, but nothing like I've ever seen before!
