New Business COnnection.-On
the first of next month Mr.. C. V.
Boisot takes into full partnership in
the drug business in Silver City, Mr..
Alex. b. Stewart, at present the very
efficient and popular clerk OF the
store. 1t gives us much pleasure to
mention this fact, as we look upon
the compliment as a deserved re-
ward of faithful and capable services
rendered. Mr.. Stewart, though
still young in years, is old in bust
ness experience, and as partner will
have fuller scope Tor business tai
ent. The co-partnership will also
relieve in a measure the labors of
our energetic and successful friend
Boisot, who, with the telegraph Of
flee and his constantly increasing
stock operations, finds himself over
worked. We wish the new firm. of
Boisot & Stewart success. They
will make a strong team. The
many friends of g Alex 5" will be

The Smallest Egg.-To the Silver
City and Lyon county hens belong
the credit Of versatility to degree
unknown any where else. During
the past two months the hens Of this
vicinity have laid down some of the
largest eggs on record. Eight inches

yet made by any chicken In this
section, and having fully Demon
strated their ability to lay any kind
OF large egg they have now taken
. different tack. Mr.. Tote I"

hon this time, and last evening dis

larger than an ordinary canary's

the hot weather and the low price Of

pend operations until tail, unless
" Tote" can put up with size that
does not require much effort. He
has named her " Macduff and tells
her to lay on.

"NO SUCH WORD AS FAIL"

We shall see how promptly our sug-
gestions are acted upon. One woman
has accomplished a good deal in this
world, and if a committee of the good
ladies of Silver City will only just
say-"We must have church" there
is no other element known to us that
can prevent the consummation so de-
voutly to be wished. The entire cost
of such building AS should be erect
ed would not exceed $4,000. The
site or lot would cost nothing, as
there will he found parties who
would gladly
DONATE THE GROUND
If they were satisfied it would be used
for the purpose sought. When com
pleted the church could be furnished
by the means of festivals picnics and
private donations. Our people have
contributed freely to the education of
their children's heads; and about as
literally to the scientific develop
ment of the mate talent of the heel and
toe. Having now attended to both
extremeties, why not educate the
heart. 1t is almost as useful to pos

Birds the Farmers Friends.

Not long ago, near Rouen, in the
valley of Monvile, the crows had for
a considerable time been prescribed.
The cockchaters accordingly multi
piled to such an extent that an entire
meadow was pointed ont to me as
completely withered on the surface
The larvae has pushed so far their
subterranean works, that every root
of grass had been eaten, and all the
tart could be rolled back on Itself
like a carpet. The multiplication of
insects is almost incredible, but our
birds seem equal to the emergency.

THE FARM
Sow Some Rye for Winter Pastursge.

1t will pay to SOW rye for Winter
pasturage, and there is no disputing
the fact that this crop, as one for for
age, has been too much overlooked
in the West. Every farmer between
the thirtieth and tiftieth parallels
should have his rye field as well as
his field Of corn, wheat, oats and
potatoes. Valuable as this grain is
tor feeding purposes, its greatest value
hes in the largest amount of pastur-
age it affords at season of the year
when other kinds of pasturage fail.
In this respect it is available as feed
for stock in the Fall after most of the
other grasses become worthless.
Again, in the Spring, it affords good
pasturage earlier than any other grass
or grain, and continues to furnish an
abundance Of good pasturage until
grass is large enough to make good
feed.
In grazing land it is all important
TO remember that tramplIng it by
stock in wet weather is injurious. A
lnxuriant rye patch bears Winter
grazing with less injury to the soil
than any other crop we are acquaint
ed with.
After rye has advanced in age and
growth sufficiently to stool out, it is
not damaged by the tranpling Of a
reasonable amount Of stock whenever
the soil is in proper condition. Even
when this crop is desired for the
grain, it may be grazed to reason
able extent in the Fall, Winter and
Spring, which is said to have a ten
dency to increase ratherthan diminish
the yield. Even if fed the entire
Winter through, and to the sacrifice
OF it as a grain crop, and the loss Of
it as such, it is still said by those who
have tried it, TO pay at least 100 per
cent. on the cost of the crop as an
investment. w EsrERN RURAL.
