President Easton Of the Pacific Coast
Land Bureau will start from San Fran
cisco this week with w. II. Mills, the
land agent Of the Central Pacific railroad
to examine the country between Reno
aud Elko. 1t is believed that arrange
ments can be made by which cattle
ranges can be placed on the market on
conditions that will be mutually beue-
hcial to buyers and sellers. The boring
Of art=sian wells in districts now barren
Of water will be a matter OF investiga-
ton. Experiments have demonstrated
that artssiAn water can be found in
places az depth $50 feet. 1t is esti-
mated that wells can be bored in this
class Of lands at 81 90 per foot for the
first hundred feet, ~ per foot for the
second hundred, and increasing iH price
according to depth. IL

obliged to trip through a long suow-tun-

An Estimate Of Straw.

Many old straw-stacks may be seen
in this part of the country standing un-
disturbed year after year. On my farm,
ii straw gets to be more than one year
old, it is because | consider it worth
saving for fodder in case should hap
poh to run short of feed the following
year. In the first place / make the
straw as good as possible. | would
much rather cut it % little too green
than have it over-ripe. Besides. | have
found that | waste less grain by early
harvest. If cut when properly ripe
there is scarcely any waste except by
slovenly work. If cut when over-ripe,
as is often the case around here, there
is waste both by breaking off heads and
by sholling. II there must be waste
and sometimes we must choose between
two evils-I prefer to cut the grain
when little green. In this case there
will be some kernels left in the straw
after thrashing. But tho cattle, sheep
and horses eat all that grain.
After securing the straw in good con-
dition feed it all through the winter
as | would hay. Not in place of hay
and cornstalks. but In addition to them.
place it in racks where the animals
can eat without stepping ON it. In
cold and sIormy days I carry the straw
to the stables, what they leave of this
use for bedding. and do not take
other straw for bedding unless they
have not left sufficient in the racks.
Feeding straw in this way find it SO
nearly gone by spring that have
scarcely enough left for the bedding for
stables in summer, Also by this man
agement l get great deal more ma
nure.
Whether much or little, / use for bed
ding all the straw that the stock leave.
Thus all my straw is either turned di-
rectly into manure, or is mixed with
the manure, serving rs an absorbent
and retainer of the more valuable parts.
All the straw, in greatly enriched
form, may now directly be returned
to the soil, where it belongs. Tor ma
nure, like money, ought to be out
drawing interest. II / had an old
strawstack. and could not use it for
bedding, | would spread it thinly over
the pasture in summer time. | have
seen good results follow such disposal
of it. 1t thus serves as a mulch, max
ing and keeping the ground mellow,
and materially increasing the growth
of grass. l would in no case burn the
straw, as some do. Like my buildings
