AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES.


Judge Perley, of Rives e. Perley, at
torneys OF this city, has purchased $40
acres OF desirable land in Steptoe Valley,
about lao miles little west of north
from Phoebe, the thorough improvement
OF which will be Immediately entered up
on. he proposes, besides carrying on,
IN the most systematic manner, varied
1armlng-fruit culture, grain raising, etc.
to thoroughly stock the place with
bloodsd animals. He has already ex-
pended several thousand dollars in
6looded stock, among his purchases be-
ing two short-horned Durham bulls and
two helfers of the same high-strain of
blood, and stallion and three mares of
famous pedigrees. The coming seeding
season l60 acres will be put in barley,
and large quantities of wheat and oats,
and all kinds of vegetables, will be Guilt
waited. The latest improved agricul-
tural machinery and implements, now
ers sewers, reapers and the like. have
been purchased and forwarded to
this proposed model farm. In the
fruit line, five hundred trees of
rare varieties, have been carefully Sc
lected and will be set out in the spring,
embracing apples, peaches, pears,
ounces, plums, cherries, and apricots.
Particular attention will be given to for
est culture. Maple. walnut, locust and
elm will be cultivated extensively, and
vast quantity of Usage orange seed will
be planted. But the most worthy of
notice in Mr.. Perley's great agricultural
enterprise, from its novelty as we'll as an
| evidence of the earnestness with which
he is embarkipg in it, is the
fact that he is constructing a large
and well arranged fsh-pond, which
will be stocked with all kinds of
Eastern fishes, that can be acclmat-
ed and propagated in the mountains
of Nevada. One order has been sent to
Seth Green, New York, the great pisc-
culturist, for 150, 900 trout spawn.
| We shall watch with great interest this
important home enterprise of Mr.. Perley,
hoping its success will encourage others
of our full-handed and enterprising citi-
zens to invest in the same direction. Our
permanent prosperity, we insist, is de-
pendent, in geeat measure, on agricul-
tural development; and we hope and
believe speedy and rich returns will re-
ward all who. like Mr.. Perley, manifest
their confidence in Nevadas future by
putting their capital into the soil.
HE who blesses most is blest,
And God and man shall have his WORTH
Who tolls to leave as bequest
An added beauty to the EARTH
