To the Farmer.

The Reno Gazette prints the fol-
lowing sensible article. 1t is quite
applicable to this section and we
reproduce it, hoping it may prove
as seed sown in good soil:
"Did it ever occur to the farmers
of this county that they spend near
" 500 900 per annum for ham and
bacon that they might just as we'll
raise as not? And did it ever oc-
cur to them that they pay out
enough annually for fruit, vegeta-
bles, flower and such like, that
they might just as well raise, to
more than pay the expenses OF run
ming their farms? We think not
for if they did, they would certain
ly turn over leaf. The average farm
will produce everything necessary
to the support of family except
tea, coffee, sugar and spices, and if
they would raise a few chickens,
turkeys and ducks, with little
ham and bacon to sell occasionally,
they would derive a revenue suf-
ficient to pay for those things.
This Winter there has been 1907
600 chickens shipped from Kansas,
Nebraska and Iowa to this Coast
that the farmers Of Nevada ought 70
supply. The sagebrush lands are
well adapted to the raising Of chick
ems, and few acres OF now idle
an / worthless land could be made
profitable by digging a well and
putting a chieken-house on it.
There is money in raising turkeys
at from $3.50 to $500 apiece and in
chickens at from SC to 50 per dozen.
The soil OF the State Is especially
adapted to the raising OF peas, and
no better hog feed grows. There IS
no better ham made than the West
phaIian, and there is no such a
thing as a corn-ied hog in Westpha-
liza.
We see no reason why Nevada
should not at least supply enough
ham and bacon for home consump-
ton, and thereby save a large sum
of money. Let the farmers thing
OF this, and see if they don't come
to the conclusion that it is better to
raise their own pork"

TEE ONsTITU ZION A l.
AMESMENTS.

The methods proposed by the
Sharon resolution in the Senate for
dealing with the Constitutional
Amendments seems to be the Only
practical way out of the difficulty.
Scores of attemps have been
made in the interest OF the State to
alter the Constitution without the
expense of Constitutional Coven-
ton.
The reason of few clerical onais-
sion and neglect certain TECHNICAL
ties of procedure the work OF sew
eral sessions OF the Legislature has
been made null and void and a
large expense saddled upon the
taxpayers.
The method proposed by these
Concurrent Resolution IS direct and
and practical, and the shortest and
the cheapest route to tie object IN
view.
The people will have chance to
vote upon each amendment intelli-
gently and not have the consldsra-
ton of their merits or dement's
hampered by the claims OF political
candidates.
This is the only way a constitu-
tional election should be held if it
is the wish OF the law makers that
the voters should have an oppor-
tunity OF giving the matter the con-
sidsration it deserves.
The special election will be held
in FEBRUARY and then such legisla-
ton as is necessary and which can
only be done if the amendments
pass, can be handled intelligently
before the close of the session.

He Fenced Them In.

In an old book written by western con-
gresham, a contemporary of Clay and Web
ster, containing "reminiscences of his times, a
story is told of one of his friends, farmer in
Kentucky named Payne, who had six tdaugh-
tiers, none of whom were blessed with beauty.
The congressman knew them in their homely
youth, and when he returned few years
later found them all married to good, influ-
entail men. So great was his surprise that
he ventured to ask their father why they all
had been so sought when other girls remained
neglected. The old farmer chuckled.
Yes, and you may say when they had
neither dover nor good looks. Well, III tell
you. When / want my cattle to eat buck

them They are so contrary they always
want the thing they can't get They break
down the fences; | drive them out and put 1t
up. By the time they fight for it once or
twice they think they like the stubble.
We'll, saw my girls weren't the most at
tractive kind. and-I fenced them i'm
.'You never found them in the hotels
dancin' or keepin' stalls at country fairs.
Young men to know them had to come to
tAeir.4father's house. 6 When the neighbors
saw how the Payne girls were kept apart
from the crowd they thought their value
must be high. Young men came TO break
down the fence. They like 10 break down
fences"
The story was coarsely told. perhaps,
adds the old narrator; but there is more in
it than meets the eve Exchange.
