Curious Nevada Weather.
Virginia City Enterprise I,

The other afternoon, although the weather
was very cold, the heavens became obscured
by peculiar vapor, which seemed neither
fog nor smoke, nor yet clouds. Though the
sun could be pl.iuiy seen it presented pre-
cisely the same appearance as when viewed
through smoked glass. To the south ward
this vapor appeared of an orange hue, while
to the west it was blue. Some of our peo-
pie, looking in that direction, called out:
''Old Mount Davidson has got the biuesw
and really everything in that direction had
the blues. About 4 o'clock the whole mass
of vapor moved east and settled down over
the valley above the Carson River. There it
presented a white appearance, hiding all
the valley land and low hills, but allowing

Sorghum Meal.

1t Is but very few years ago that consider
able interest was shown by the farmers of
several Of the Middle States in the growing
of the sorghum plant, and the subsequent
treatment fer extracting its saccharine prin-
cipie. To our knowledge the venture did
not take an aspect of success, and but little
enterprise was shown beyond the growing
of the crop. Both eeed and stalk generally
went TO the nearest paper-maker, and the
Juice of the cane, when evaporated, cost
more than good article could be purchased
for at the nearest store Where the busi-
ness has been attempted on a larger scale
and backed by abundant capital. the pros
poets of a paying venture have become
somewhat more apparent. In New Jersey
and in Illinois, where systematic trials have
been made of the growing Of sorghum, q fair
measure of success has been attained.
But it is in reference to the seed and the
stalk that developments cave been recently
made which seem calculated to open up an
entirely new and profitable industry. Both
millers and hOusekeepers have already
proved the value of the ground seed as a
bTeadstnff and some of them have even Civ
en- il the preference over buckwheat, the al
teTatiye effects of which SO often appear on
the faces of people eating freely of the all
yiels on an average from twenty to thirty
bushels OF seed-with o possibility OF fifty
bushels-to the acre, and the seed, when
ground and freed from hulls, seems to be en-
tirely digestible and healthful for dairy
cows. has no Objectionable influence on
either the color. taste or chemical com
position of the milk, and possesses q
milk producing power barely per cent
less than corn meal, the great standby of the
stable.
The importance OF the matter is rendered
more significant by the claim, apparently
well substantiated that the yield of amber
seed and stalk is about the same ss that Of

Be Ready Early.

A season of activity is near at hand
Spring is coming, with its pressing work.
Are farmers ready for sowing and planting?
Every implement should be provided before
hand, that no time may be wasted in max
ing purchases or repairs after the work
should begin. We have known a
half day of ploging to be
lost because the whifAetrees were
not at hand. Some farmers start out with
their spring blowing without a single pillow
point in stock. and when one is needed, the
team Is taken from the field and driven to
the store. Such loss of time is a serious
matter, and should be thoughtfully guarded
against by ample provision of all such arti-
cles of the farm. 1t is a poor time to mend
harrow when it should be at work in the
field.
We do not favor that economy-if it may
be so called-thst relies upon the neghbors
for many of the tools of the farm. There
are certain farm implements that
may be owned in partnership, as
a roller or reaper, but the constant borrow
ing of rakes, forks ETC., is not q wise and
economical practice. Be provided with all
these essential farm TOOLS and have them in
good order and at hand when the time ar
rives for using them.
Now is the time to look to these matters
and make all needed preparations for the
busy days that will soon be here. In the
peace of winter prepare for the war Of
spring.

About EnsIlage.
Farm and Garden /

Whether ensilage possesses any advart-
age as food for cattle is yet a debatable
question, judging from the opposite views
expressed by our agricultural Journals II
we will consider that before corn fodder can
be placed in the silo for preservation it
must be cut into very fine pieces we think 9
partial solution may be found to its value in
comparison with dry fodder, and there is a
chance for another untried experiment,
which is to feed the ensilage and fnely-cut
fodder for comparison. In order to stow the

Hints About Horses.

Feed light when changing feed.
Never let a horse stand long facing cold
wind.
Always approach strange horse near the
shoulder.
A plain rubber-covered bar bit often suits
a tender-mouthed horse.
Common salt pressed in the cleft of the
frog will frequently cure thrush.
The yoke to the wagon or sleigh-pole
should be the same length as the double
tree.
A horse regularly fed on the ground or
floor will frequently spring in the knees.
Feed your horse regularly. Horses look
for their feed at the usual time, and the
stomach indicates the want at the stated
period.
When wishing to tie horse with the rein
without pulling it out of the terrets, always
tie the ring to the bit before tying to the
post.
Double reins should be made so as to take
up or let out at the ends that fasten TO the
bits. Have that part made longer, with
three or four buckle-holes punched.
Mix occasionally one part Of sslt with
four, FIVE or six parts of wood ashes, and
give tablespoonful in the horses feed at
times. 1t will promote appetite and keep
them in healthy condition.
Some horses are more sensitive than 9TH
ers in the upper jaw, and will not go up on
the steel bar or snaffie upper-jaw bit. In
such cases have bit made of plain round
leather, the usual size of the upper-jaw bit.
The upper jaw of horse is broader from
side TO side than the lower jaw, and in
grinding the food during mastication there
will be portion of the upper teeth that
will not approximate, consequently there
will be sharp projecting points left on the
edges of the teeth of the upper jaw, that are
verv annoying to the animal and will cause
him to swallow his food without proper
mastication, producing indigestion, staring
coat, hide bound, etc. The projecting points
on the teeth are also very annoying TO the
horse when the bit is in his mouth, as the
bit presses the cheeks sgalDst the teeth,
wounding and decorating them fearfully.
Every horses teeth should be examined at
least once year, and if found irregular the
edges should be rasped smooth.

Making Good Butter.
Breeders Gazette

Butter is finished in the dairy, but not
made there. The stamp of the dairy woman
puts the gold in market FORM but the work
must be CONNIE need in the field or in the
feeding stables; and this leads at once to the
consideration OF feeding for butter. During
the early, sunny summer months, when
nature is profuse of fayors, there is little to
be done beyond accepting her bounty. The
tender grasses are full of the needed nutri-
ton, and they afford the constant supply of
moisture without which the secretion
of milk is greatly lessened: Yet,
at this season, as well as
all others, pure supply OF water is abso-
lutely necessary. 1t does not meet the re-
quirement if cattle have wet hole full of
surface drainage IN The pasture, or frog
pond. While it is not pre- bsble that the
tadpoles and wrigglers sometimes found in
city milk have be drunk by the thirsty
cow many infusions do exist in such pools
that are hardly eliminated or rendered en-
tirely harmless by the wonderful milk secre-
tons of the animal. The cattle should drink
from springfield boxes; and as often as these,
under the hot sun. are seen to produce
green growth or floating scum, a pail OF
coarse salt may be put IN, and the current
checked until the fresh-water growths are
killed; the salt water is then drawn of, and
for long time the trough will remain pure
and the water bright.
