GRASS.

The worst hindrance to grass in its
early stages Of growth is weeds next to
that, strong growing grain crop. The
best condition is absolutely clean ground
with no other seeds upon it besides those
Of the grasses. Weeds are usually
strong feeders They draw from the
soil nutriment that should be taken by
useful plants they pump out moisture
and they shade young grass. Let US
get rid of the idea that grass needs shade
to make it grow. The idea has no sup
port in truth. Last June | seeded
piece Of rather heavy land, no grain
crop being upon it, but the land was
free from weeds. Alongside of that
were two acres Of similar land that had
been ploughed ten inches deep the fall
before, and seeded to grass in April.
The land was weedy. There is not one
tenth as much grass on it as on the same
area of clean land alongside, seeded in
June, and the lack is caused by weeds.
Both pieces were manured moderate
ly-say fifteen two-horse loads to the
acre.-G w. Hoffman.

The Profitable Dairy Cow.

Can the dairy farmer afford to buy
high-priced butter stock-thoroughbred
Jerseys ?-is question ottener asked
than properly answered.
Has ii paid the farmer to invest in the
high-priced beef stock Undoubtedly
Has it paid him to invest in the best
quality Of land, seed, and implements
Beyond question. Has ii paid him to
raise the best wool, make the best but
ter, grow the best fruit. and do the best
In farming aud dairying generally
Nobody doubts it. We see it in the
improved quality of horses, bred from
high-priced stock in superior wool, the
result Of fabulous priced rams in the
excellent quality of pork, the result OF
costly improved breeds; in the intro
duction of high-priced fowls, high-priced
seed of every kind. With these high
priced helps the livestock wealth Of the
country has become more than double
what it otherwise would have been.
If it has been proven that the best of
stock and seed in general things bring the
best results, the same must be true as
to particular things, and the breed of
cattle that produces the largest and
best quantity of butter is the breed most
TO be desired for dairy purposes. And
here the question may as well take an
other form Can those who keep cows
for milk, cream. and butter afford NOT
to-buy gh-priced Jersey stock
Since PROFIT Is sought for in dairving.
1t seems certain that the butter-making
farmers cannot afford to do witout that
breed of cows that yield the most and
the best They must have the COW that
costs the least TO keep and returns the
greatest per cent Of butter profit. That
COW is the jersey. Eastern dairvmen
have learned this, and they are obliged
to have ''sprinkling" of them among
the rest to give the butter that firm tex
ture, rich color. and flavor that the mar
ket demands, and which brings the high
est price.
What is true rs to the dairy COW i
true as To the man who keeps a COW or
two for family use-true oftbe farm COW
the COW of the village or the gentIeman's
grounds-the Jersey taking the lead in
everything exceptin beef as dead weight.
The Island of Jersey. whence these
importafions come. Is not laroer than
Scott County. The Register of the
American jersey Cattle Club now num-
bers less than twelve thousand entries
of registered females, and it is fair to
presume that forty per cent. of these
are dead, leaving less than seven thons-
and for the United States. 1t nearly.
if not quite, fact that of registered
mich cows in Iowa there is not more
than one for each county, and a decade
will pass before there is one for each
township. and lifetime before they can
be counted on each farm. Scarcity and
demand regulate the price. Dairymen9
need not hesitate under the impression
that prices viii decline. JERSEYS are
a necessity. and are destined to increase
and enrich the dairying interest of the
Hawkeye State almost to an unlimited
extent.-Davenport Democrat.

BOFTENING OF THE BRAIN.
Nevada's United States District
Judge Seriously AFFLICTED.


The SENTINEL learns that United States
District Judge Hillyer Of Carson 10 seri-
ously indisposed from softening OF the
brain. The matter has been kept out Of
the papers in the Western part Of the
State. Owing to this illness the United
States District Court was recently ad-
journed until February the LIST. DR..
Bronson gives 1t as his professional opinion
that the patient will require six or eight
months of perfect rest and quiet 70 re-
cover, il he RECEIVERS at all. Judge Hillyer
will be cared for in California. The
trouble 10 not supposed to proceed from
overwork OF an Official nature. For two
years past the Judge is said 10 have been
very temperate and exclusive in his habits.
During this period he has devoted q great
deal Of his time to the study OF the
French and German languages. having
made himself an accomplished scholar in
both tongues. 1t is supposed that he con-
fined himself too close at these studies. 1t
would have been better for him II he had
gone on an occasional jamboree. Judgs
Hillyer has been on the Federal Bench in
Nevada for nearly 20 years. His position
IL one for life or good behavior. His rec
ord as an upright Judge is first-class. His
integrity has never been questioned. There
are ADLER judicial officers, but non who dis
played q stronger desire to be right at oil
times. If he does not regain his health
by February, the President will most
likely be called upon to appoint q new
Judge for the Nevada District. The SEN

The reported marriage of John Garrett
and Mrs. A. M. Hilllouso turns out to be
without foundation.
The above paragraph is from the White
III News. We cannot see the object Of
Mr.. Garrett in denying this marriage.
The SENTINEL made the announcement Of
the marriage, and knew it TO be true when
made. We dislike to be placed in a posi-
ton which would seem to say that we had
been guilty Of publishing an ~unfounded
story. The parties are married, neverthe-
less. We know this to be true. They
we're united at Sacramento three weeks
ago, just as stated by the SENTINEL at the.
time. They passed as mar and wife dur
ing the remainder of their visit to the
West. Out of respect to our departed
friend, we object to Mr.. Garrett placing
the lady in a false position before the COM
murity. They are man and wife, and the
correct thing in the premises is to frankly
acknowledge the fact to everybody. We
Insist that there shall be neither secrecy
nor mystery in the case. Ordinarily it
would be none of our business. But Pc
culiar circumstance give us an interest
in the matter. Among other things, the
SENTINEL desires to have the reliability OF
its information maintained. 1t repeats
with emphasis that Mr.. Garrett and Mrs.
Hillhouse were made one flesh at Sacra-
mento three weeks ago. II the proofs are
required we can produce them. Let there
be no further denials in print or otherwise.

There ought to be 40 Eureka mines on the

Of promising mines should sell readily at

ridiculous. Eureka has a greater extent
Of valuable mineral territory thar any

Our miners who are unable to prosecute
the work of development should incor-
porate, distribute the stock and call for
assessments. This ia the true way OF get

MINING ..pRomoTERs.,
A Glass Of Geniuses Described by
A New York Paper.

- 0RhsDC8 AyC8CIAOGN W
A New Fork Paper.
One Of the most interesting studies,
says the New York Stock Report, connected
with the mining interest is the mine "pro-
moter." He is always bringing some
wonderfully good thing before the public,
and seems never, even by accident, to get
hold of a property which is not a true fis-
sure, or does not assay high, or has not
everything that a good mine needs-mill
sites, water rights, and an excess OF tim
Der. The vein always improves as depth
is obtained. The mine has always yielded
very largely under the greatest difficulty
and with the most imperfect machinery.
The mine promoter does not conine his
enterprise to any one locality. His benefi-
cent projects are not circumscribed to any
particular soil or climate. One day he
that he intends to tap Nova
Scotia, and the next Mexico. The mine
promoter succeeds in floating some por-
ton Of the stock Of numerous companies,
capitalized way up in the millions, with a
very trihing expenditure of his own cash.
Everything depends on sales Of stock, from
the purchase Of the alleged mines to the
advertisements in the papers. All the i'm
mense wealth suddenly created on paper,
springing up, as it were, in a night, is the
result Of " cheek" chiefly, combined with
wind. The quantity OF the M and the
force OF the other, being directed on an
unsuspecting public, induces purchases Of
stock, and that is all the mining promoter
needs to keep going ad infinitum. We
know Of q nina promoter, who, two or
three years ago., made the pursuit Of q free
lunch a study, endeavoring to avoid too
frequent visits to the same place, who is
now considered a millionaire mine pro-
moter, and the press teens with his vari-
Gus projects. The mine promoters heart
is set on developing the mineral interests
Of the country, and the country, we sup
pose, should be thankful that her patrons
in this line always find something good
wherever they strike.
