A New Vegetable Food.

There is no kind Of vegetable that
grows that cannot be raised in Nevada.
This has been proved beyond a doubt,
and it has also been proved that the
soil and climate Of this State will allow
Of the production Of a much finer and
heavier crop of either vegetables or
grain than any State in the Union.
1t has also been discovered that some
rare and curious plants grow in this
section OF the country. To corroborate
this statement, any one who will take
the trouble to call at the Office OF
County Recorder Davis will be shown
one OF the most curious plants that
grows in the world. The plant referred
to is pronounced by Mr.. Davis, who is
quite naturalist, to be species Of the
genus Pftea,ae or Goldfish plant which is a
rare production Of Patagonia. South
America. 1t was grown in Mason Val.
ley on the bank Of the Walker river,
and was first discovered some weeks
ago by Mr.. Henry Woods, resident
Of the Valley, and was sent to Mr..
Davis as q contribution to Nevada s
exhibit to be sent to the Worlds Fair
to be held at London. This specimen
is about thirty>two inches long by ten
inches wide at the top or head, and
four inches wide at the bottom or tail
end, and is almost exactly the shape OF
a small-sized salt water Goldfish. The
plant when dried is not more than one.
half an inch thick, and is of whitish
color and semi.lransparent. 1t has
hardly any odor when dry, but upon
being broken up and soaked in water il
lasts exactly like the salt water article
with the exception that it has a little
sweeter flavor. When ripe and dried
the plant is as hard as a cracker, but q
small chunk, say the size Of your hand
boiled and prepared with eggs the same
as other goldfish, will make q delicious
meal for several persons. Mr.. Davi,
proposes to save the seed Of this won.
derful plant and try and raise some oil
them next season.

A Fatal stock Disease.

kirman and Hickey have recently
lost by some contagious disease, about
two hundred and fifty head of cattle,
two hundred hogs and about twenty
brood mares, on their ranch in Antelope
Valley.-Rtno CaEeflt.
This disease is probably pleuro-
pneumonia, the most malignant Of all
cattle diseases, and which has been
dong such great damage in the Eastern
States. The TINES Of last week con.
tanned an article in regard to the disease
and suggested that it would be a good
idea for the State to take some action
in regard to preventing it from
spreading. Knowing that Adams is
quite large stock owner it was sup.
posed that he might take some action
in the matter; but delays in a case Of
this kind are dangerous, and it would
do no harm for the cattlemen to form a
combination to suppress or check the
spreading Of this dread disease.

THE BUSINESS OF CATTLE
RAISING ON RANCHES.

We have once before sounded a note
Of warning on the subject of the cattle
business on the ranches that we are now
even more than then convinced was
called for. The business is vast one,
the interests at stake enormous, and the
territory it occupies immense. AT Ire
best, however, the interest is more or
less necessarily sectional one, those
who are engaged in the business being
those chiefly interested. No one, not
even the cattlemen, whose intelligence
and patriotism make them impartial,
denies that the interest of the country
as a whole is best subserved by the es.
Enlistment of settlers in permanent
homes, and, in general way, in the
growth westward under the homestead
law. On the other hand, the claim
that there is very large section Of
country in Wyoming, Colorado, New
Mexico and Arizona, untillable, and
which, parceled out in the homestead
allowances Of 100 acres TO each family,
would not be adequate to its support,
can not be satisfactorily answered by
pooh pooling it. The subject, like
every other, must be investigated and
discussed. We hear that the govern.
ment proposes to do its best to post it.
self upon the true merits Of the Indian
Territory question, and we trust that Of
cattle ranching on the public domain
will receive its attention also. 1t is an
evidence of growing recognition of its
importance, when a journal like the
Nation, Of New York, accords consider
able space for the discussion of this sub.
ject.
The latest communication we have
seen on it in that journal comes from
Estes Park, Col. and Is evidently the
thoughtful production Of a man who en-
joys the advantage Of practical &C.
quaintance with the subject. He puts
the case forcibly, and maintains the
impossibility of applying the homestead
laws, under which the Western States
have been SO rapidly settled, to the
vast territories referred TO, and urges
the necessity of adopting some plan for
their permanent settlement suited to
their natural conditions. Such course
alone, he maintains, can put an end to
the gradual absorption of the smaller
ranchmen by their large competitors,
the seattle kings" The correspond
! ent referred to advances views on the
subject which we believe will prove at
least novel, and help TO confirm the as.
sertion we ventured to make, that the
subject is but little understood by those
who have not thoroughly Investigated
it. AS an additional evidence Of the
fact that many Of those who discuss the
matter do so without knowledge, we
may mention that the Prairie Cattle
Company, credited in several journals
with having fenced over 1000, 900 acres
of the public lands, has not a mile OF
fence on their ranch.-Nafionai Lire.

A gentleman from Johnson County, who
does not want to be named, has purchased
property in this city, and viii move here in
= few days. He is yet a comparatively
young mau, but his hair is white as snow.
This was caused by acurious incident, which
occurred some years ago. He was in the
fields one day at work, and was attacked by
g large Iattlesnake. BE finally caught the
reptile by the back of the neck, but it gave
4 sudden jump at hrs face and be lost his
grip. The snaEe fell to the ground and
struck Its enemy twice on the legs no 6ever
without effect, he wore high
topped boots He, however, jumped back
as soon as pOssible, and after some difficulty
MANAGED TO kill the reptile, from which he
lock thirteen Eattles. UDon going to dinner
some Of tie family jested him about having
feathers IN ms hair. An examination
showed thai in a number of places the hair
hao turned from jet black to pure white.
In short time al Of bis hair turned white.
he attributes it to his feeling of horror upon
losing his hold upon the snake and it strik-
ing az his face.
