REPORT OF srArE TREASURER

We are indebted to Assemblyman
Morrison for copy of the State Treas
urer's Report for the Fourteenth fiscal
year, ending December 3lst, 1878. Mr..
Schooling tenders to the people of Ne
vada his earnest gratitude for elevating
him to and extending so loug his term
of Office to q place of such important
public trust. As an agent of the peo
pie he endeavored to look after aud pro-
teCt their interests, and refers with
pride to the steady advancement in the
financial condition of the State during
the past eight years. Says Mr.. School
ing: :" AT the beginning of the year
1871, our little State presented net
debt of 100000 after deducting securi-
ties belonging TO the school and other
funds. Her creditors upon receiving
warrants for their claims hurried past
the door of the State Treasurer to find
some broker or banker, to induce them
to advance cash upon the warrants even
at large discount our bonds drawing
fifteen per cent. interest and State taxes
at one dollar aud tive ty. i've cents. It
is pleasure to me, on turn ing over the
books and accounts of this Department
and rendering my report to my master
the people, to say that upon balancing
the General Revenue account of Your
State. find We have on hand enough
to pay our. entire Indebtedness and leave
a net asset of $685., 991 % in coin aud
80. 401 73 in currency, an advancement
of ST.. 400, 900 in favor of the State in
eight years, our taxes lowered, and
enough in the Treasury to reduce the
State levy to less than one-half what it
was In 1871, the business of the State
conducted upon permanent cash basis,
and your agents, begging the bond
holders to sell to the State her outstand-
ing bonds. even at an extortionate pre-
MUM"
Statements in the report show that
could our bonds be purchased at their
face to-day the entire Indebtedness of
the State could be cancelled, leaving a
net balance on hand for governmental
expenses of $23O.62S %, without dis
turbing a net balance of $452 896 81
coin and $S,S37 SO currency. devoted
more particularly to educational pur-
poses. This is creditable showing
for the sagebrush State, aud the Legis.
lature now in session, should make
taxation as light as possible on the peo-
pie to whose enterprise and industry, as
sisted of course by efficient and faithful
State officers, this pleasing state of
affairs is due.

Comman.S Sense Flowing.

The depth of soil can alone deter
mine the depth OF blowing. When
the soil is shallow the gradual deep
ening of it should he sought by the
use of appropriate materials for i'm
provement until the object is fully
attained. The sub soil ought not as
rule, to be brought out of its bed
except in small quantities to be ex-
posed to the atmosphere during the
fall, winter and spring, or in a sum-
mer fallow; nor even then except
when such fertilizers are applied as
are necessary to put it at once into a
productive condition. Two different
soils of opposite character, as stiff
clay and sliding sand. sometimes
occupy the relation of surface and
sub-soil TO each other, and when
thoroughly mixed and subjected to
cultivation they will produce a soil
of greatly increased value.
Soils appropriated to gardens and
horticultural purposes are often deep
ened 10 fifteen and even eighteen
inches with benefit, and those for
general tillagr crop to about twelve
inches with decided advantage. But
whatever is the depth of the soil the
pillow ought to turn up the entire

beyond it should be Thoroughly
broken up by the sub-soil pillow.

of sub soil blowing are most apparent
in an impervious clay sub soil aud

soils.
On low or strong land the ok

Good Advice 10 Parents.

Many parents labor under the mis-

The Jews of the United States a:e
inaugurating a movement for the es-
tablishment of agricultural colonies
in the West and South. 1t is n re
markable departure for this people TO
undertake. Such person as a He
brew farmer is hardly known in the
history OF this country.
The subject Of colonization was
first discussed at.thc annual conven-
ton Of Hebrew congregations at Gin
cinnati last summer. On that occa-
sion conisittee was appointed to
further consider the matter. This
committee has reported that in their
opinion the true emancipation of
Jews consists in the greater infusion
OF spirit Of manhood and self de-
pende nee, which can best be done by
encouraging the millions OF Israeliies
dwelling in eastern and southern
Europe to become farmers and me
chaDics. The committee points to
the broad, free acres OF the West,
ready to yieli untold wealth. and to
impart 10 millions of Jews that spirit
OF true independence that the owner
and tilIer of the soil always enjoys.
The jews of this country and of all
countries are Of patient, Persever-
ing, tireless nature. Ia trade they are
