yielding rich ore, found in extensive lodges
There are hundred camps in Nevada which
have each furnished the same report fol
years OF Yankee Fork the Col only con-
firms the reports of the past six months. The
country is covered with snow till July, and
then snow begins in September giving the
prospector but short season for work The
ore is all of low grade, requiring the most
extensive and economical machinery and
processes to make it pay. Mills are not yet
erected-and we add-roads are not yet
made, and the report of promising mines
should not allure men away from paying jobs,
and good prospects to such fabulous region
There has not been development Yet made
at Yankee Fork which warrants any of the
foolish and sensational reports coming from
there. And now let us add, when men cry
''to here or there" do not loose paying
job on mere current reports, and spend your
hard earnings on wild goose chase. You
miners, Jail know that while there are no roads
to carry your ore to reduction works, and
yeu have no mills of your own, there is no
money even in good strikes, unless you have
coin enough to hang out until capitalists
come along, and either put up mills for your
accommodations thing you never saw
yet-or buy you out-a thing they never do.
They prefer to buy you out, while buying on
their own terms; and after all, your long
journeys, your packing of blankets, tools and
grub, your hard labor and rough fare, is but
much capital invested in companies which
shall fatten on the results of your toll, and
tread with lordly step over your bleaching
bones. The whole history of Nevada mining
shows this, and while we believe that Yankee
Fork will become grand mining country, we
do not believe for moment that the hardy
prospectors who discovered it will ever reap
dollar for their toll. They can 60 into the

hopes, and work for three or four dollars a

iShtep and Manure.

We do not always think Of little
ways ofsaving manure that may aggre-
gate good deal in the course of the
year. The following suggestion from
an address by Secretary Hayes. off the
National Association Oi'Wool Manu-
facturers, is not bad one for present
purposes, althoug taken from an old
practice: The farmers of Connecticut
in former times. it would appear, had a
full appreciation offertiliziag influences
OF the sheep. In the town of Goshen,
IN Connecticut. according to my infor-
mant, tile public roads were anclently
laid out eight rods wide; and in these
roads it was the custem to pasture in
common the sheep belonging to the IN
d!yldual proprietors of the town. which
were taken care efby a man or boy, at
the expense of the town authorities. -
The yarding Of the sheep for each
night, in order that the benefits of the
manure might not be lost, was let out
at the town meeting. On the evening
OF the 9th of May, just preceding the
famous cold summer of 1916, it came
the turn ola certain farmer to yard the
sheep for the night. He had no field
fenced which would hold the sheep
some eight hundred IN number-except
field planted with corn, which had
already come up. Preferring to sacri-
fee the corn to losing the manure, he
turned the flock into this very field. On
that night the frost cut offs the corn
IN the town, and the sheep cut ca
our farmers, who congratulated him
self, in the morning, that he was no
worse ef than his neighbors. He soon
found that he was better Off. The
sheep by cutting off the top shoots had
saved the plants from being killed by
the frost, aud the drOpplngs from the
sheep in one night hadso enriched the
field that it produced the largest crop OF
corn that had been grown in town for
years.

Fern Growing.

The following points, obtained from
an old German Fern grower, may be
useful to amateurs who experience
trouble in evenly sowing fine seed. such
as Fern spores, Lygodium scandens,
Calceolaria. etc. Take a sheet OF
white pasteboard, rub the seed lightly
over il until it covers the exact circum-
ference ofthe pot it is to be sown IN.
1.-THE board is net too smooth the seed
will adhere to 1t, so it can be inyerte
on the pot, and by tapping gently 1t
will fall as evenly as it was rubbed on
the pastebOard.
To get the moist air necessary to
grow a small quantity of fern spores etc.
where it is not justiable IN keeping a
whole house in the proper conditions,
fill pot ene-third full OF potsherd, on
this put the peat, or whatever the seed
is TO be sown on; then place it in a pan
containing just enough water to reach
the top OF the potsheard, ard keep il
covered closely with pane of glass.
Fine green wire-nethns placed over
delicate seedlings will protect them from
insects, and give just the right shade
without drawing them, as other shade,
arc apt to do. Tuberous Begonias,
ETC., which are usually so difficult tC
raise from seed, can be grown without
trouble by using it; If doubled and pu
over newly sown seed. they will germi
nate one-thlrd quicker; the cost is only
thirty cents per yard.

strawberry Blight.

We here complaint from all over our
country about the above disease of the
Strawberry plant, asking the cause and
remedby of the same. 1t is the general
opinion that it is caused wholly by fun
gus attacking the leaf. This may Depart
" the cause, but it is my opinion there
are other causes. Having watched 1t
for several years past, l have always
found it worst, or Of any account only
in certain seasons, such as the past,
when we have q fine March and April
and plants start off finely, then a cold
spell in MAY with frost, which checks
suddenly the growth Ofthe plants. The
leaf spots and turns red, and by The
time the fruit ought to ripen, the plant
has no vitality left in it. Having fire.
Quently examined The roots, | have
always found them infested with a
blueish louise, sometimes so numerous
that they cover the leaf-stems. This
think is one great cause Of the trouble
generally known as the blight. In

DIphiherIa Ia MIR.

1t is possible, not to say probable,
that diphtheria has its origin in the
diseased condition Of mich COWS.
Such at least is the inference which
must be drawn from the carefully OBJ
severed facts of two epidemics In En-
gland, both of the recent occurrence ;;
one in North London and the other at
Working. They indicate that a dis
ease of the udder known as garget and
generally regarded by dairymen as in
significant may so affect the quality OF
the milk as to produce diphthelia in
the consumers.
Inquiry leaves no doubt that milk
from cows having garget finds Its
way into the market in considerable
quantities. Only portion of the I'D
der is usually attacked by the disease
and the milk yielded by the other
quarters does not manifest any such
change in quantity as would ordinari-
lily lead to its rejection. Indeed, so
irdifferently is the affection looked
upon my men having The charge of
COWS, that they seldom inform their
employers of its existence. A member
of the Pathological society,of London,
who was led to investigate the subject
lately, found several cases of gsrgei
among his own cattle, although his
bailiff had not thought them import
ant enough to mention.
The circumstances of the North Lon
don epidemic of diphthelia satisfied
the sanitary officer charged with its
investigation that the disase was dis
tributed by the milk supply, and that
the milk had not been contaminated
BY any influences from without. Thcs'
conclusions are confirmed by the lik'
opinions of distinguished physicians tt
whom the facts have been submitted
They naturally lead to the question
whether and special disease could pre-
vail. without attracting particular no
tice. among the cows from which the
milk anne, The answer is that gar
get is just such disease. And tn
bel iet that this apparently slight at
lection in cattle may be TRANSFORMED
into diphtheria, or may induce tina
disease, in the human subject, Ii
strengthened by the recent dipther
tic outbreak at the Princess Mary
home at Working. Garget was toun(
to be prevalent on the farm whlcl
furnished milk to that institution.
The proceedings OF the Pathological
society, of London, IN reference 'f
this possible connection between dip''
liberia and disease in COWS, supp
abundant evidence OF the gravity
with which the medical profession re-
gard the subject. 1t has been referred
for investigation to a committee Of
highly-qualifed physicians; one Of
whom is DR.. Burden SandeIscn; and
the results of their inquiry cannot fail
to be important. In the meantime,
ought not something in the same di-
rection to be done IN this country?

Leaks in the Barn,

Barns and stables are often seen
with holes IN the roof, boards knock
of, windows and doors in a dilapida-
ted condition or refusing to shut close
". 1t is through these that the cold
air and rain leak in, and the warm air
leaks out. Such leaks are not only dis
agreeable to the sight aud uucomfort-
table to the occupants themselves, but
it is through these that the profits Of
the farmer leak out-yery silently, it
Is true, but none the less steadily and
constantly. While his cattle stand
shlveriDg of nights with cold, there
goes out with every SILVER a portion
of the food consumed, as we'll as some
milk from the COWS, fat from the steers
and pigs, wool from the sheep, and
eggs from the fowls. The farmer
stands by and wonders. He COM
plains that something is wrong with
the cows or the feed; that the steers
and pigs are losing flesh; that the
hens are eating their heads off by
giving no eggs. The thought never
seems to strike him that perhaps the
animals require all the food they cons
sumo to keep themselves warm, and
that there is none of it to spare for
the production of milk, flesh, wool,
or eggs. He should understand, how,
ever. that all these are made from sur
plus food after all the bodily wants of
the animal are supplied. In the po-
lar regions man needs daily as much
as six pounds of oil or fat meat to sup
ply the wants of his system, while an
East Indianmln mems but pound Of
rice. And even in the lumb ring re
gions Ofour own North lIbprer in tn
winter season eats with relish great
pieces of fat pork aud bean soup,
enough at a meal to sicken a dog, much
more a man, were he to look at it in
the harvest field. And this is because
all the food is required to keep up the
animal beat. Just so in the barn or
pig-pen. If the temperature IS COM
fortably warm much less food is re-
quired to supply the wants ofthe ami
mols than if the air was piercing cold.
If, therefore, there is an opening
in the barn through which a
stream of cold air is contn-
ually pouring in on the cattle, a cor
responding stream of wasted food will
be continually pouring out But by
