DEMoRALIzED.-The jury business is
demoralizing this Office, and there is
no escape from it. The editorial and
reportorial corps, consisting of one
man, is doing service on the Grand
Jury, and between times makes out to
write something for publication. and
now, to pile up misery upon misery,
two of the typos have been summoned
for trial jurors. AT the April term of
the District Court these self-same
prints did jury duty, but then as now,
they were not drawn on the regular
panel, and their names were returned
to the box as soon as they were drawn
and announced by the Clerk. These
unfortunates are consoled by the
bloated and blasted Court officials with
the information that they were not
drawn on the regular panel, and so
long as they are not their names will
be put back in the box, to be hauled
out whenever it is not convenient to
send out of town for jurors. They have
been advised to invest in lottery tick
cts, as with their luck in the drawing
business they would draw the first
prize, or what is much more likely,
nothing. Fortunately the devil and
another gentleman connected with this
office are not old enough to do jury
duty, thus giving us an opportunity to
get out some kind of paper. The
older members and attaches of the con-
Germ seriously contemplate swearing
allegiance to the King of the Cannibal
Islands or some other foreign potentate
to evade this oft-repeated and everlast-
ing call for jurors.

An EMIGRANT FUNERAL. - A child
eight months old, belonging to a b.
hemian family who were passengers on
last evenings emigrant train, died yes
terday on the road between Carlin and
here. Upon their arrival they signfed
their desire to bury it, provided the
train remained a sufficient length of
time for them to do SO. The railroad
agent informed them that he would
hold the train a reasonable length of
time, so they procured a pick and
shovel and proceeded to dig a grave
east of the track for the lost one,
which they placed in a small dry goods
box and buried in shallow hole only
three of all that was on board the train
attending the funeral AS it was get
ting dark when the train arrived, but
few of the citizens knew of the circum-
stance, and they desired that the re-
mains should be left here until to-day,
when they would be decently buried
in the graveyard west of the river.
The parents, however, preferred to at
tend to the matter themselves, and
buried the little loved one as above
stated, in the sagebrush, east of Kem-
ler' mill.

EMIaRANTs. About one hundred and
seventy-fve emigrants passed here last

of healthy looking young women among
them, but like the men, nothing, not
even the persuasions of the Gayest
young man in Winnemucca could in
duce them to remain here,

COMPLETED AND RUNNING. j. l..
O'Donnel and j. A. Hill, who have
been engaged for some time past in
building the Krom Concentrator at Ga
lena, arrived here yesterday. They say
the mill is completed and running. 1t
was started last Saturday and works to
perfection. L. G. Neyes, agent of the
Concentration Company, who superin-
tended the erection of the works, will
remain in Galena a week longer, or
until the men employed at the mill be-
come familiar with the manner in
which it works. When the mill started
the machinery went like clock work,
and no change had to be made in any
of its parts. O'Donnel and Hill have
been engaged to build ten stamp mill
on the Goodrich mine, in the East
Range, the machinery for which is ex-
pected here in short time.

Rich ORE.-Last evening we were
presented with specimen of ore from
the Paramount mine in Winnemucca
Mountain, by j. w. Clemo. 1t is rich
in silver, and ore sharps are of the
opinion that the whole piece will assay
81 500 per ton. 1t was taken from the
ledge at depth of twelve feet from the
surface--the greatest depth yet attained
in the lead. The Paramount was dis
covered short time ago, and the own
er, j. w. Clemo, is developing it with
his own labor Last week he had two
or three tons of the groupings worked
at the Humboldt Reduction works
which yielded over $50 per ton. At the
depth now reached the ore is much
better, and the industrious owner will
undoubtedly be well rewarded for his
labor.

derbilt Mining Company, whose fur
mace at Oreana started up a week ago,
were not very successful in their first
attempt at smelling. Last Saturday
NJ. Torrey concluded to try his hand at
the business, and we learn from Geo.
Lovelock and Steve Tyrrell, who came
up yesterday. that in twenty-four
hours, two hundred bars of bullion,
averaging seventy-fve pounds each,
were run through without difficulty,
and that under Torrey's management
the furnace is complete success.

PROBABLY SoLD.-I. S. Taylor, San
Francisco mining expert, visited Bart
lett Creek last week, for the purpose of
examining certain mines in that vicin-
ity. Since his return from the mines
we have been informed that he made
an offer for the Badger and Independ-
ence claims, but whether the price was
satisfactory and will be accepted by
the owners of those mines we have not
learned. Mr.. Taylor also visited Lewis
District, near Battle Mountain, and
was very favorably impressed with the
appearance of the Defiance mine.

THE ROVER TRIAL.
Two Panels Examined, and mo- Jury
Yet.

The venire issued from the District
Court, and made returnable yesterday
for forty Eight trial jurors for the July
term of Court, brought about two
thirds of that number to the Court
house yesterday, the balance having
been excused for cause. This panel
was rapidly exhausted and new We
hire issued, returnable Immediately.
Late in the afternoon thirty-six per-
sons were impaneled under the new
jury law-the case being that of Rover
indicted for the murder of Sharp.
A night session was held, and chal-
lenges for actual and implied bias were
interposed by counsel, and at 10 o clock
in the evening, at which time Court
adjourned, the number was reduced to
sixteen. This morning other jurors
were summoned for the purpose Of get
ting thirty-six persons qualified to try
the case, which will afterwards be
reduced by peremptory challenging to
twelve. Whether this number can be
had to-day is exceedingly doubtful,
and it is not improbable that the
Sheriff will have to go out of town to
find men who have not formed q fixed
opinion to make up the requisite
thirty-six. A few murder trials under
the new jury law in sparsely settled
county like Humboldt, would be worse
than the grasshopper plague, and q
dozen of them would bankrupt any
county in Central or Eastern Nevada.

Pasturing Meadows.

Many farmers feed their mowings be-
cause they think they cannot spare the
feed Just now, even when they really be
lieve that the next crop of hay will be re-
duced more than the value OF the present
crop of feed They feed their mowings as
men sometimes borrow money, just TO en-
able them To squeeze along till another
pay day comes round, trusting that some
thing in the meantime may possibly turn
up that will help them out ofthe difficulty.
Our course has been 10 make no account
Of after feed in mowings, unless il is heavy
enough to pay for moving with ma
chine. Adopting this course, we have
been enabled TO dispense with all inside
fences in moving land, and, to some ex-
tent, outside fences also. The cost Of run
ming over field with moving machine
and wheel-rake is so slight that the ex-
pense of gathering the second crop is com
paratively small, while if the cows were
let on the moving they would generally
iniure4ecently seeded portions, or destroy
other crops in different parts of the field,
which, under our system, require no fenc'
ing or extra protection whatever.
We have no doubt that enough latter
feedn may be left on a moving field TO in
iure il for the next years crop, but usually
there is not enough grows after the first OF
September to injure the grass if it is cut
or fed close at that time, although there
may be exceptional cases. We have often
cut rowen later than that date, and may dc
so again. We cut heavy crop last fall
Just before the ground froze, and the roots
were nearly all winter killed, but not be-
cause the grass was cut, for a portion left
as an experiment was killed equally as
badly. But against this one case OF winter
killing of grass that was heavy at the set
ting in of winter we have had many other
cases where it was perfectly evident that
late moving was positive injury. This
would be particularly the case on dry
knobs that are much exposed 10 the cold,
drying winds of winter and early spring
We have several times had young clover
checked severely in this way, and some
times badly killed.-N. ". Farmer.

Showing the White Of His Eye.

There is notion abroad that a horse
who shows "the white of the eye is in
clined to be vicious; and, like most other
notions of the sort, this appears to have
had some truth for its foundation, though
the truth has been somewhat distorted in
the deductions. Animals in general show
only the transparent part of the eye; man
and the hog disclose the white of the eve
Some-very few-horses show the white
OF their eyes naturally; many do so by a
habit of turning their eyes upon any per.
son approaching them, and particularly
in their stalls; which glance askant nee
essarily discloses more or less of the
white of the eye. Now this oblique or
retrospective cast of the eye may certainly
be--and mostly is, perhaps accompanied
with some thought or intention of biting
or kicking; but, on the other hand, II
may be the effect of habit, of a playful
disposition even, and SO may not portend
any evil. We have met with many cases
of both descriptions, where vice was and
where vice was not present; but we can.
not add we have encountered such ma
iority of the former description as to pro.
nounce showing the white of the eye" an
infallible indication of vicious dispos..
ton.
While speaking on the subject of eyes
we may add that there is very great va
riety in eyes and in the expression given
by them; hence one reason for the inter
minable differences in the countenances
OF animals. An tsverfull or exceeding
prominent eye has a sort of unnatural ex
preston about it which often turns out to
amount to foolishness, I" and sometimes
such horses appear TO be near-sighted.
Opposed to this we meet with the small
sunken, dark looking eye, which creates a
suspicion about temper, and particularly
when an expression Of what is called
" sourness" is TO be observed in it. We
have seen several instances of viciousness
in horses with such eyes and therefore
are biased against them; at the same time
we know horses with such sour, ill-tem-
pered-looking eyes after having been
cured of their vice turn out to be the very
best of their kind .-Prairie Farmer

Value OF Covered Manure.

AT various times we have pointed out 10
our readers the profits resulting from Gov
ering manure, instead of allowing ii "a
get soaked by the rains, or dried by the
sun, as Is generally done. We have Civ
en- this advice from what we have actually
seen. When rough sheds have been built
to cover the manure heap the crops fertil-
lied by this pile have been increased in
productiveness sufficient to pay for the
shed-covering the first year. We have
never seen any exact figures of the pro
portionate value of covered and uncovered
manures that we remember, until the fol
lowing, which we find by Lord Kincaid, a
Scotch landowner and farmer. They pre-.
sent the best statement possible, we think,
of the advantages Of the plan:
-Four acres Of good soil were measured
two of them were MANFRED with ordinary
barn-yard manure and two with an equal
quantity of manure from the covered shed
the whole was planted with potatoes.
The products of each acre were as fol-
lows:
Potatoes treated with barn-yard manure
One acre produced 212 bushels.
One acre produced 292 bushels.
Potatoes MANFRED from the covered
sheds
One acre produced 442 bushels.
One acre produced All bushels.
The next year the land was sown with
wheat, when the crop was as follows:
Wheat on land treated with barn-yard
manure:
One acre produced Al bushels, Is
pounds (of 81 pounds per busheD. -
One acre produced AZ bushels, 80
pounds (of OF pounds per bushel).
Wheat on land MANFRED from covered
sheds:
One acre produced So bushels, pounds
tof 81 pounds per bushel).
One acre produced53 bushels, AZ pounds
(of 61 pounds per bushell.
The straw also yielded one-third more
upon the land fortified with the manure
from the covered stalls than upon that TO
which the ordinary manure was applied

Carniyorous Plants.

Those wonderful plants that have the
habit of catching and consuming insects
are at present the fayorite objects Of expert
ment among naturalists. Mr.. Lawson
TAFT communicated TO Nature the interest
ing results of his late study Of the economy
of the sun.dew and pitcher-plant To de
termine whether the sun-dew absorbs nu-
triment by its leaves Mr. TAFT filed three
pots with pure silver sand. In each pot he
placed (1) uninjured plants, after washing
them repeatedly in distilled water; ~
plants similarly washed and deprived OF
their roots, burying all their leaves in the
sand; OBJ similarly washed and deprived
Of their leaves, the roots being buried In
the sand ~ similarly washed and four
leaves buried In the sand, two leaves and
the roots being left above the sand. The
plants were OF the species Drosera rofuidt-
folia, and had sent up a fower.stalk which
was In bud.
For seventeen days one of the pots was
fed with pure distilled water; another with
a strong decoction of beef; and the third
with lO0.6 per cent solution Of phosphate
Of ammonia All were carefully protected
from insects. At the close of the expert.
ment the plants in the first pot we're all

What to Do with the Hogs.

All the probabilities now are that farm.
ers will receive good prices for their hogs
the coming fall and winter. 1t is also
probable that the prices for corn will be
quite satisfactory II is evident that "a
many farmers il is important, in more
than usual degree, TO receive az much
money as practicable from their crops
within the next few months. 1t is not al
all improbable that the prices in the early
part of thu season will be as high as will
be reached at any time during the winter.
1t is a well known fact that flesh can be
put on hogs at less cost in moderate than
In extremely cold weather 1t is coming
to be generally admitted that the weight
can be increased on young animals at q
less cost than on older ones.
Looking at all these facts and probabili
ties, il seems to us il will be wise to get
the hogs, al least the older ones, in condi
ton for market early in the season. II
they have good clover pasture we would
not feed them any corn now, but rs soon
as the new corn is fit for the purpose we
should feed literally, cutting the stalks
and feeding these with the corn. III, by
thus feeding, the hogs kept over-as pigs
or breeding-sows-ar fat, and marketed
by October, the probabilities are that more
profit will be made than by deferring lib
eral feeding until frost has destroyed the
pasturage and then marketing the hogs in
January.
After the first lot has been sold--if. as
we expect nowhere should be good
prospect for well-sustained prices, we
should feed the early pigs-except the
best, which should be reserved for breed.
ing purposes-with reference to selling
them during the winter.
As practical solution OF the much-dis-
cussed question whether IL is best 10 fatten
pigs before they are year old or TO keep
them over one winter and sell them when
from sixteen TO twenty months old, we
would suggest that for very many farmers
both courses are advisable: that Is, that 1t
is advisable To have some litters of pigs
come early in the spring, fattening them
when from eight to ten months old and
keeping the later filters until the follow
ing year - Western Rural.
