A NUISANCE The stencil from dead rats
around the streets of Carson is not near so
pleasant as one could wish. We do not like to
complain, but if those Indian dog-catchers
could be shunted off on the rats for a day or
30, it would not offend any one.

The LAWYER CASE William Lawyer, ac-
cused of having received stolen goods from
the burglar Edmonds, was examined yestet-
day afternoon before Judge Cary. The watch
which was found in his possession at the time
of the arrest, could not be identified by the
alleged owner, besides, IA reliable witness
swore that he loaned the accused some
money with which to purchase the watch from
Edmonds, and that the transaction was made
so openly that he was satisfied Lawyer could
not have known it was stolen property, if it
was. The pipe found in the defendant s
possession valued at one dollar, could also not
beidentifed by any one. The testimony showed
the fac: that Lawyer had always enjoyed good
reputation, and that he did not know the real
character of hisa qaintance, Edmonds Nothing
could be brought out in the examination to
prove that Lawyer was guilty of any crime,
and he was accordingly discharged from
custody. This case is another illustration how
a young man can be innocently brought into
trouble by keeping bad company, or company
of men of whose character he knews nothing
Young men can't be too careful in the selec-
ton of their associates
AN UNKIND CUT.-The Stage of yesterday
has very unkind article on our townsman,
DR.. w. b. Butts, accusing him of not paying
that paper an advertising bill, of which he had
been repeatedly reminded. The Doctor called
at this office last evening and desired US to
say that he never was notified that he owed
anything to the Stage, or he certainly would
have paid it. There must be some mistake
about this on the part of our friends of the
Stage, for the Doctor has reputation here.
and justly too, of being prompt liquidator
of debts
BEARS HUNTING A MAN.-John Franks who |
came from the Lake yesterday, says that on
Monday he saw two large cinnamon bears
near Soda Springs. He had a rifle with him
and fired at the bears several times without
bringing them down At last the animals
urned the tactics by turning on Franks who
vas chased several miles by the brown devils
lie has had enough of bear hunting for the
eason, SO he says.

OUR ADVERTISERS.
BILLINGS, DENTIST.

BILLINGS, DENTIST
We never had but one tooth drawn, and
that was done in the primitive style; we
hitched that tooth 70 chair back, and "pap"
threatened our nose with a red hot poker
the tooth was suaked. Now Billings does not
even mention tooth drawing; that is nolonger
a science TO man who can whistle molar
out of your mouth, but for replacing those
exercised grinders, call on Billings We
never had either bicuspid or incisor inserted,
but if We ever need any, which heaven forbid,
we mean to patronize Billings His replace
ments are tempting enough to make one have
the originals drawn, just for the sake of hav-
ing one of Billings sets.

BLOCKAr E.-Has Carson any right of way,
| and how far does her corporate limits extend!
We ask the question only to ascertain if posi-
Dle what right the Railroad Co has to obstruct
Carson street for IL half hour at time with
freight trains which Gun easily be broken, at
the intersection, thus allowing free pas
sage for vehicles and foot passengers. We
noticed yesterday, the street sprinkler and
several other vehicles, as we'll Hs foot passen
gers, waiting patiently for a long train of plat
form cars to move ont, but they did not move
We were compelled to walk around that train,
but didn't mind it much, though we asked
ourselves the question; has Carson or Nevada
any rights which railroad corporation ls
bonnd to respect? Either 1t has not, or it has
no municipal officers; or if it has, they are
fearfully neglectful. No corporation-not
even the city government-has right to in
wade the rights of citizens, in such manner
as the " & T. railroad does at the depot.

Sage is much used during their

cooked by simply dipping the cake
in warm water, which softens it, it is
also sometimes made into soup.
The sage tree is found, in one or
other of its species, throughout the

pelago, from the islands off the west
coast Of Sumartra to New Guinea.

MacarOni.

This cheap and very nutritious food
may be cooked in variety OF accept
able styles, and is a most excellent
substitute for vegetables. Potatoes
are apt to be poor late in the season,
and if macaroni be used instead, it
will be found vastly more nutritious.
Macaroni comes in boxes of about Is
pounds, and is sold by the box at an
average price of Is to Is cents per
pound. 1t is in long pipes or tubes,
sometimes several feet in length, be-
ing bent over and over; it is little
larger round than a common lead
pencil, aud has dull appearance,
somewhat like that of horn. 1t is i'm
ported from Italy and though it has
been made in this country, and perhaps
is still made, IL is for reasons to be ex-
planned presently, vastly inferior to
the imported. Macaroni is really
dried flour paste, but there is, as
every housekeeper knows, a great
difference in flour, and the kind best
for bread is the poorest for macaroui,
and yice versa. Flour consists large
ly of starch. If we mix up some flour
with water, to form dough-say as
big as a hens egg-in piece OF mus
lin, and then hold it under stream
of water, and work it as the water
flows, the starch will soon be washed
out through the meshes of the muslin,
when the water runs clear, showing
that the starch has been washed out,
if we open the cloth there will be
found a small quantity Of stringy
mass, this is gluten. It differs from
starch in containing nitrogen, and it
will soon spoil. Starch is heat pro-
duclng food, gluten is a flesh forming
food, really the most nutritious por-
ton of the flour. Our best wheats
make -four with 7 or s parts in the
100 of gluten. Other wheats contain
about twice as much. 1t is only
wheats rich in gluten that make good
macaroni, and while the flour of our
wheats make the best and lightest
bread, it is only the wheats Of the
south OF Europe, especially some
kinds raised in certain localities in
Italy, that make the best macaronl.
This is why it can not be made sue
cessfully in this country-our flour is
In one sense too good. The proper
kind of flour is made into stiff paste
with water, we'll worked by means of
a wooden bar, and then put into
mould in which it is subject to great
pressure. The mold has holes in it,
of the proper shape, and the paste
is forced out through these as fine
threads, when it is called vermicelli,
or as pipes or tubes, when it is mac
aroni. 1t is dried by heat suffici-
ent to slightly bake it, when it is
ready to be packed in boxes. The
same paste rolled thin, and formed
by proper cutters into squares, stars,
hearts, ETC., is known as Italian paste,
Vermicelli and Italian paste are rare
ly used except in soups. 1t will be
seen that macaroni is the most nutri-
tious of all farinaceous foods, and one
that should be more generally known
and used than it now is. We may
add here that it is most excellent
thing for explorers and other travel
ers-as we know from experience.

Fertilizing with Electricity.

A singular experiment in agricul-
tural methods has lately been tried
in France. A savant recently took
two tobacco plants, each weighing
the same and being in an equally
healthy condition, planted them in
boxes containing mould of Identical
quality and placed them side by side
in locality favorable to their growth.
One was supplied with an electric
conductor or lightning rod" and
the other was left in its normal state.
In four months the plant under the
influence of electricity attained a
height OF three feet FIVE inches, and
weighed about $4,000 grains; the
other measured two feet four inches,
and weighed about $4,000 grains,
about one half. Fertilization by cleo
tricty iscertainlya new and startling
notion.

vegetables are not procurable, will not
miss these if there is supply of mac
aroni. Old macaroni is sometimes
infested by an insect which feeds,
within the cavity; upon holding the
stick up to the light this may be seen
as a dark spot. In our first exper
fence with macaroni, it seemed so hard
and horn like that it was put to soak
before cooking; as consequence it
was spoiled. 1t should be put at
once into boiling water.-Ec.

A Complete Manure.

/ see a good deal in the eastern pa
pers and reports of agricultural boards
about the different kinds of fertilizing
mixtures and compounds, but give me
barn yard manure composted with
muck and ashes-the pure stuff-and
I don't want to go to any doctor for
recipe to cure soil barrenness-I
have got complete manure, that will
bring along any crop-grain, grass,
or roots. We hear these soil doctors
talk about such preparation for lime
plants, another for the potash plants,
another for plants requiring nitrogen
GUS compounds, and so on, but in
yard manure we have everything need
ed for any of these crops. 1t is not
too cold, nor is it over stimulating,
and it is lasting in its effects. We
take a field and we don't know pre-
cisely what particular thing or sub
stance, mineral or organic, it needs Or
lacks IS make it productive. We
only know that it don't yield enough
to pay for ordinary culture. What
shall I'VE do-go to chemist with a
bottle of the soil, or get some super
phosphate, or bone dust, or guano, or
potash salts, or the Stockbridge com
pound? No; betterlet the artificials
alone and take good manure and then
on with the clover seed. will guar
antee good results every time. 1t
acts mechanically, and it acts chemi-
cally too-it acts both ways-and
that is what no other fertilizer will
do. 1t has all the necessary nitrogen
Gus properties to stimulate the plant,
and it acts directly upon the soil and
the plant at the same time. A dead,
sterile soil feels the effects of stable
manure Immediately, and is aroused
to condition to produce something
this year and next year. You may
search the world over and you'll find
nothing equAkto it. You may feftfif-~
ize the soil With strong heterogeneous
manures, such as guano, and you get
wonderfully quickened growth, but
you exhaust the soil. 1t is like put
ting a man into tight workshop and
feeding his lungs with pure oxygen
gas. He will breathe rapidly and
work like a giant, but he is soon ex
hausted- his strength is used up in a
brief time. So with a soil which you
stimulate excessively with powerful
nitro genous manures. Afterward it
seems to have lost vital power and is
dead. clammy and crusty. These eff
fects are never seen after the use of
farm yard manure.-B. [Stable ma
nure does, without doubt, have ia
vorable mechanical action on heavy
grits-and as it is complete manure,
will be sure to produce good effect
on a poor soil. And it is true that
manuring with strong heterogeneous
manure containing no other plant
food but nitrogen would exhaust the
soil of the mineral matters taken up
by the larger crops. But guano is as
complete manure as stable manure;
it only lacks the large quantity of
organic matter of stable manure
which by its decay yields humus;
yet, and for this reason, its continued
use On certain soils might leave them
heavy and clammy.-Ea Neao York
Iaibune.
