In THE Nevada Senate fourteen

In THE Nevada Senate fourteen
different States are represented as the
places of nativity of the members,
and seventeen members came to this
State from California. Ross, from
Washoe, is the father of the body IN
age, he being fifty-nine years Old.
Cresswell, of Nve, is the youngest,
he being but six -andtwenty. There
are sixteen married men among them
all. six bachelors and three widowers.
The trades and occupations are as
numerous almost as the members
themselves.
An alarming rumor was current
yesterday in Virginia, to the effect
that the roof of Odd Fellows Hall
had sunk several inches. and there
was danger of a fall. Whether the
report was true or not, it is very GER
tain that the amount of snow on the
tops of all buildings now is very
great, and the sooner it is cleared Oh
the better for everyone concerned.
In THE Executive Department over
at the Capitol, computingthe officers
and deputies and clerks, the aggre-
gate age isseven hundred and ninety
one years. Ten Of these are married,
seven are single and one is widower.
The Governor, besides being the
highest in authority, is also the
oldest, he being seventy-two years
old.
JONES came from England, and is
forty.seven years Of age. Sharon
came from Ohio, and is nine years
the senior of Jones. Wren is half
way between being fifty-one years
old.
Now is the time for poor men who
can't find work to step to the front.
For shoveling snow from the side
walks and house-tops the price is
from fifty cents to one dollar an hour.
CONSOLIDATED Virginia has con-
siderably advanced within the last
two or three days. The cause is a
report of rich ore strike on one Of
the lower levels.
Ow1NG to the inclemency of the
weather there will be no services this
morning in the Methodist Episcopal
Church. The usual evening service
will be held.
The Supreme Judges now on the
Bench of this State all came here
from California. Beatty is the
youngest and Hawley is the Oldest.
The Tennessee Singers failed to
hold forth in Virginia on Friday
evening. They were showed in along
the route.
OVER six feet of snow is reported
between the Florida mine and Amer
lean Flat.
The roof of the Piute mill has
been crushed in by its overburden
of snow.

A beautiful winter scene was witnessed
yesterday from Carson street. A bank
of snow white clouds had settled on the
mountains over towards Virginia, andas
the mountains themselves were covered
with snow, no separation could be seen.
The spectator could see vast mass OF
snow extending into the sky higher than
Mont Blanc, and the view was only stop
ped by the distance itself. 1t was a
picture of wondrous beauty, and one
which is seldom seen in nature or on
canvass.

CHRISTOPHER EGGS.
Interesting Experiments With the Pes
tiferous Insects.

LlltIOub iuhbglhs
G.. G. Green, of VamOnt, hes left at
this office a glass can about half filed
with earth taken from the ground
where the 'hoppers deposited eggs last
fall. 1t the earth he put a few grains
Of wheat, and by setting the can in the
sun by day, and where it was not too
cold by night, the wheat has sprouted,
and the grasshoppers %numerously
Matched at the same time. 1t is in
structive as showing that the winter
has not, as some contend, killed the
life of the locust eggs. 1t shows, more
over, that the same conditions of heat,
sunlight and moisture which cause the
grass and grain to sprout, also cause
the enemy which eats .hcm to sprout.
1t shows in miniature what will be
the condition of the whole land in
about a month from now-the Young
grass and wheat springing up, and at
the same time the young locusts leap
ing from the ground as numerous as
the blades OF the young grain. Nature
has ordered that they appear at the
same time. The wise husbandman
will prepare to guard against the
scourge. In the can, one stalk shot
up an inch and a thigh before the
'hoppers attacked it, when the little
fellows climbed to the top and began
to eat. In other cases the hungry lit
tie rogues nipped off the sprout OF the
wheat as soon as it came to the surface
and a little sooner, keeping it eaten
down below the ground. The opera.
ton is just the same as that observed
OH large fields in the spring of alocust
year.
Through the glass may be observed
some that have Matched at the depth
of an inch or more und-r the dirt,
which do not seem to be abe to get to
the surface, and die in their prison.
The inference is that if the ground is
plowed after the eggs are deposited,
most of the young grasshoppers when
Matched will never get to the surface,
Where the ground has not been dis
turbed after the deposition of the eggs,
there is a natural way out. If so, all
lands plowed this spring will be COM
paratively free from locusts that hatch
on the same and the fight will be
against those swarms which hatch in
the open fields, and instinctively start
for the farms of tender grain. -BOul.

The Superior Richness of Ewes Milk

At the meeting of the north British

Gently, an interesting paper was read
by DR.. Stevenson Macadam on "The
Composition of Ewes Milk" Having

even goats milk, DIR. Macadam ar
ranged a series of trials as 10 the com
position of ewes milk yielded by ani>
mails fed solely on good natural pas
ture, and on the same animals after
being fed on extra diet, including lin
seed-cakc, cotton>cake and oats. TAX
ing the total percentage of solids by
weight in the milk, the average per-
centage of solids were as follows:
Town dairy cows milk, 1927; country
dairy cows milk, 1877; goats milk,
13.43; ewes milk on natural pasture,
1875; and ewes milk on natural pas.

The Care of Ewes.

A correspondent of the Agricul-
tural Gazette, England, gives the fol-
lowing in relation to the care of sheep,
which is as applicable here as there,
except this: We do not have to coun-
teract the effects of watery food as
they do, from the feeding of large
quantities Of turnips: If there is no
permanent yard, a temporary n can
soon be erected, by setting down a
double row ofhurdles and stufing them
between with straw. We begin a month
before lambing to remove our ewes
every night from the turnip pen to
the yard, where they have a foddering
of straw, night and morning, in the
cribs; the yard is supplied with fresh
litter daily. Here they have a dry,
comfortable bed. Ample breathing
space uncontaminated by noxious va
pors, gentle exercise, and a moderate
supply of pure water are conducive to
health. 1t is surprising the quantity
of barley or Oat straw a flock of yves
will consume; the dry food has a salu-
tary effect in counteracting the watery
influence of the turnips. When tn.
food of the breeding eve consists
principally of turnips during the last
six weeks of CESSATION, the difficulty,
and consequently the danger of yean,
ing is greatly increased. During the
latter period Of CESSATION, the nutri,
ment derived from the food is princi-
pally expended in increasing the size
of the tGtus in utero, instead of being
stored up by the mother, hence the
increased difficulty and danger of par
turition. In order to strengthen the
eve and enable her safely to withstand
the trials through which she must pass,
and to encourage the flow of milk, a
mixture of oats and maize--half a pint
to a pint per d%ay-should be given for
a month before Landing.

Burning Tobacco Beds,

VIII A. Sisson of Henderson county,
Ky, writes as follows to the Country
Gentleman AS the time is at hand
for burning plant beds, l WOULD like
to discuss the matter, and hear from
some Of your correspondents in the
tobacco growing sections especially
where wood is scarce, as to the most
economical and best manner of making
them. Our present mode of prepar.
ing them takes a great deal of time
and hard labor, and it may be that we
a learn a better way from those to
whom wood is an object and not, as in
this section, a thing gladly got out of
the way. The ground is first cleaned
out of trash and leaves, Gland in the
woods, Of a rich, loose soil being the
BEST and logs and brush are piled on
skids and set on fire. The skids keep
the logs off the ground so that the
heat can pass under them and heat it.
The ashes however often fall and cover
the ground, and prevent the heat from
reaching the weed seeds and grass
roots which prove troublesome pest.
When the ground is sufficiently burned
the logs are moved on to a fresh space,
and so on until a bed of sufficient size
is attained. The bed is then plowed
or hoed up and thoroughly pulverized
with a rake and the seed, Zone or one

the opinion that it is quite practicable,

ever, that one gallon is sufficient for
the amount named. l would be
pleased to hear from those who have
tried the experiment.

Enormous Growth of Australia.

That a great EDglish-speaking EN-.
pire is fast growing up in the Austria.
las is apparent from the marvellous
showing those colonies already make.
Their total amount of trade is $780,
600 0OO, dug from the bowels of the
earth or gathered from its surface. OF
that total one-halt, or 1926, 000, 900,
consists of the precious metals. There
are gold, copper, tin, and iron in all
the colonies, and silver in New Zealand.
In miscellaneous products they have
wool, tallow, sugar, hides, preserved
meats, and wine. In all the colonies
there were last year 65, ZOO, 900 sheep
and 100000 cattle. The population
of Australia and Tasmania numbers
1000, 600 and New Zealand 400, 900.
The public revenue of the whole group
is $50, OO0, 600 annually. Comparing
these colonies with Canada we find
that the population in the new domin-
ion is 4,300,0 600 and her total trade
amounts to 1925, 900, 900, as compared
with 100000 600 of the Australias,
which gives the latter double as much,
with a population only one-half as nu-
merous. The dominion's exports are
but S95 5000, 900, against 1925, 600, 900
from the Australias, and the dominion
revenue is but 5000, 900 against
their S65, O00,0 Going further
afield we find that the Indian empire,
with a total population of 240, 0O0, 900,
has a total trade of $435, 000, 900, and
her exports are S275, O00, 900, against
1928, 100000 from the Australias.
The colonies have borrowed consider
ably, but every cent, except in the
case of New Zealand, has been spent
in useful and well,conceived public
works. Victoria has borrowed $70,-
600, 900 at a little over four per cent,
and has nearly one thousand miles of
railroads and numerous water supplies
to show for it. Already the railroads
are paying their working expenses and
the interest upon the cost of construc-
ton, besides which her public lands
are worth at least ten times her total
Indebtedness. The same is tue of
New South Wales, Queensland, and
South Australia, and is also true,
though in a less degree, of New Zeal
and, Tasmania, and western Australia.
