MORE OF EsPERCET.

The more the APPEAL investigates
the subject of espercet, the more
convincing becomes the proof that
it is the grand fodder plant tor Ne
vada. Yesterday it had an inter
view with George Rammelskamp,
who has been for Il years the fore
man of the Sutro Tunnel ranch.
Knowing that he had been q prac-
teal rancher in Germany, the
writer asked him TO tell what he
knew about espercet.
az know all about the grass"
said Mr.. Rammelskamp, 81 have
raised great deal OF it in Germany.
1t is the principle fodder grass OF
that country. Yet l would hardly
call it grass, but rather weed.
1t has many OF the characteristics
of a weed. 1t grows rank and
quick, will do without irrigation,
seeds down rapidly and IS peren-
NAL. 1t will grow on the worst
land you can find in this State. |
have seen it scattered on land that
seemed to be nothing but grit. 1t
was worse than sandy land; regular
grit, and seemingly useless, but es-
percet would grow finely on it. L
have seen it planted on hard, red
soil that would resist a pick, and
vet the espercet would grow from
eighteen inches to two feet high on
It without water. Still, little ir-
rigation is a great improvement.
With one irrigation in the Spring it
will grow to a mans chin, and 50
rank and thick that men want extra
price to NOW it. / have seen seven
tons to the acre cut in Germany,
and a German acre is smaller than
an American acre. For espercet
take any Of the big sandy deserts,
20 called, of the State, and you can
turn them into big espercet fields.
A few Summer showers will make
the plant grow high and rank. 1t
fattens stock RAPIDLY and makes
cows give milk splendidly. A mil
lion tons of espercet could be raised
in Nevada in places which are now
considered worthless for anything.
1t will not seed the first year, but
after that it is a heavy seeder. The
seeds grow in pods and yield tre-
mendousIy. 1 shall send to Ger
many for large quantities OF the
seed this Summer. The Fall is, l
think the best time to SOW it. Scat
ter it among the sagebrush IN the
Fall without even narrowing, and it
will soon spread. Cattlemen ought
to nay more attention to this
plant"

A Hundred Deluded Girls.

There recently arrived in Los
Angeles about 100 young English
girls, who were brought to the Pa
cific coast through the instrument
atty of an English woman widely
known for her philanthropic work
in behalf of her sex. During her
visit to California year ago she
saw the need of good domestic help,
other than the Chinese, and she ac-
cordingly wroteehome of the splen-
did chances awaiting intelligent
girls. Unfortunately for them
selves, the girls who came were net
of the domestic class required, but
were principally governesses and
nurses. The result has been dis
astrous to the girls, and many
have returned home. Others, who
have not the means to return are
said to be in destitute circumstances
in Los Angeles.

Too Much Money Also.
Boise Statesman.


Our Nampa correspondent is a
good deal exercised over the CAld-
well Tribune. Caldwell is a good
town, only they carry too much
gas for Boise City and Nampa. A
former proprietor was taking a
friend out one day to show him the
stakes of the corner lots, when they
came across hole about eight feet
deep. "Ah" says the editor, 81
must examine this. 1t is a new
Improvement going on in Caldwell:
That will make about column of
good reading for my paper" Our
notion is that Caldwell is a big
town-not quite as big as London,
but will some day grow up to
Nampa, and possibly take in Boise
City if Boise City people will only
give her room.
