TROUGH FOR HOGS AND SHEEP.
II Is Simple in Construction, Cheap and
Convenient.

We give an illustration of conven-
lent trough for feeding hogs and sheep.
1t is especially well designed for feeding
hogs, and may be placed in the pen, the
swinging door above the trough forming
one side. If desirable to use it out Of
doors, it may form part of fence. The
construction is simple. Two upright
board standards, about four feet high,
are nailed to the ends of trough to sup
port swing door or partition, which is
adjusted so that the lower edge plays
back and forth just over the top Of the
trough.

Remedy for Diphtheria.

As diphtheria is becoming somewhat
prevalent in Nevada, the following would
seem to be time piece Of information.
The article was communicated to the
Iowa State Register by the practitioner,
DIR w. A. Scott, of Pleasantville, Iowa:
The years that pass only confirm me in
the fact that this is as near specific in
diphtheria as medical skill can reach. It
dosen't fail if used in time and as directed.
l use it successfully to this day. The
recipe can be filled at any drug store, and
used by any person without danger:
Take ten grains Of permanganate of pc.
tassium and mix with one ounce of
cold water. As soon as dissolved, it must
be applied from rag or sponge, mop or
swab, to the whiteish places in the tonsils.
and other parts that have the diphtheria
membrane on them. Do this very gently,
but thoroughly. every threeJ hours until
better; then every six hours until we'll.
1t does not give pain, but is rather
nauceous to the taste. If the tongue is
coated white, mix one dram of hyposul.
phite of soda and five drops of oil sassa.
fras in four ounces of syrup made of
sugar and hot water, and give teaspoon.
full every one to three hours, as needed,
when awake. If the tongue is not coat.
ed white, I mix 20 drops of tincture of
phytolacca in four ounces of cold water
and give teaspoonful every one to three
hours, as needed when awake. (The ply.
tobacco is the common poke root of the
South, and as it loses its strength by dry.
ing and old age, the tincture should be
from the fresh root, or it is worthless)
1t is well to apply little sweet oil or
cosmoline to the outside of the throat to
protect from the action of the air, as the
patient must be protected from all danger
OF getting chilled. In the beginning Of
the disease in mild cases, the above 30
luton of permanganate of potassium is
all l use, and all that is needed, as the
disease is local at first, but rapidly affects
the whole system when seated. In the
sinking form of diphtheria this solution
soon destroys all smell, and every case
destroys the diphtheria membrane with.
out leaving any bad effect behind.

Nevada's Assessable Pro perty,

According to theassessors reports Of the
various counties, says the Virginia Chron.
icle, the total valuation Of property in
the State in 1889, foot up about $50, 900,
600. This estimate is exclusive of the
value of mines on the Comstock, as rep.
resented in the quoted shares issued by
the mining companies whose property is
located on the lode, which if added, in.
creases the total to labout $3.50, 1000, 900.
The total gold and silver yield of the lode
the current year will reach about S., $780,.
600, and that of the State about IS, OOO,.
600. This estimate is nearly $1,000, 900
below the gold and silver yield Of the
State in 1888. The shrinkage is princi.
pally in the output of the Comstock lode
mines, which was curtailed on account of
the lackIof ore crushing facilities, the
stage of water in the Carson river being
too low from June until November to
furnish power for operating the stamp
mills along the course of that stream, land
not to an exhaustion of the ore resources
of the lode. The early and copious snow
and rainfall of the present winter, !coupel-
ed with the renewed activity in Tusca-
rora, Robinson and Phoebe Districts, JUS
titles the statment that the gold and
silver yield in Nevada in 1890 will
exceed. $50, OoO,O 900 and that of the Com
stock lode $1,000, 900.

RAILROAD NEWS.


Escalente Desert, from Milford south.
west, to this side Of Desert springs. is
dotted with men and teams engaged in
the work of grading the road bed for the
railway extension from Milford, West.
A force Of men have also begun work on
one of the tunnels near Clover Valley,
this county, which are to be run. Sup
plies of all kinds are arriving at Milford,
and the original contractors, Fitzpatrick
Bros and Collins, state that they will at
once put $500 teams ON the line between
Milford and Meadow Valley Wash, and
the work is to be pushed with all possible
energy. The main contractors own ex.
tensive farms in the states of Kansas and
Nebraska, and from these will furnish
hay and grain, etc, for the sub-contractors
under them; their present figures being
$ll.0O per ton for hay, and $3.50 per cwt
for oats, delivered at Milford. Their
facilities for furnishing supplies of this
character are ample, but notwithstanding
this all the hay and grain within so miles
Of the road will probably soon find ready
sale. Engineer Woods of the Survey
party, as soon as lumber can be obtained,
will build an office, etc., at Clover Valley
from which place the work until it
reaches Meadow Valley Wash, will be
directed.
The present contemplated entrance to
Meadow Valley Wash is in the vicinity
Of Culverwell Bros ranch, about l6 miles
below Panaca. Beyond this point it is
not yet determined in which direction
the road will build, whether down the
Meadow Valley Wash south to Las
Vegas, or directly west to tap at once
the rich mineral districts lying
in that direction. The latter route, it is
understood, is to be favored. Mt. Irish,
west of Hike, being one principal point.
The route through this section was sur.
veyed and laid out last year, while Sur
veyors are now engaged in marking out
q line south by way of Las Vegas ranch.
The contractors now beginning work,
have established mail service of their
own from Milford, South. along the line
to Clover Valley, to be run three times
a week, and the first trip was made yes.
terday. Whether the road builds south
or west from Meadow Valley Wash,
Phoebe will be reached by branch line.
As heretofore stated, this branch line is
already located for greater part Of the
distance. With such working force as
stated, in full operation, it is more than
likely that midsummer of the present
year will find us almost, if not directly,
in railroad communication with the out.

THERE HAS CONE to the RECORD Office
chrome Autograph of Reno, published
by G. c. Powning Of the journal. The
picture is much truer than those usually
issued under like circumstances. 1t is q
view from the most favorable point of
observation, and good advertisement of
the town. It shows Reno in it's greenest
garb. There is nothing green about
Powning, however. With that degree
of modesty which has made him famous,
he has spread "Powning's Addition" in
large letters over good portion Of the
town. Powning is one of Renos most
active men, and that is saying much; for
the town is full of pushing energetic men
who we'll deserve the success they are
making, individually andcollectively. The
picture hangs in the office and can be
seen by those who may possibly be de-.
luded into the belief that there is any
place better than Lincoln County. If
there be any such persons the RECORD
will, in disinterested friendship, advise
them to 20 to Reno.

The Seed Annual for 1890, issued by
D. M. Ferry & Co., of Detroit, Michi-
gan, has reached our table. Its cover
this year is especially artistic and at.
tractive, and its contents, as usual, in.
teresting and instructive. Ferry's seeds
are thoroughly reliable, and always come
true. The directions given in the An.
nual for the cultivation Of both flowers
and vegetables are so full and explicit
that no one can fail of success who uses
their seeds and follows the instructions.
D. M. Ferry 4 Co. are very conserva.
tive, both in offering new sorts and in
their claims for them when offered; but
they take pains to inform themselves as
to the true character of all new varieties,
SO If some much Landed novelties are not
found in the Annual, the probability is
they have tested them and found them
OF no value. A request sent to the firm
at Detroit. Michigan, will bring you a
copy of Seed Annual for 1890 by return

THE TARIFF ON WOOL.
Various Views Presented to the Ways
and Means Committee.

After The SrAR's report OF the ways and
means committee hearing closed yesterday Mr..
DobsOn Of Philadelphia carpet manufacturer,
told the committee that the wool interests of
the country had been misrepresented The
production, he said, was not nearly enough to
supply the demand, and he willing to take
his chance in free wool. but was tired of being
tied down by the wool growers.
Mr.. Whitman, president of the national asso-
citation Of wool manufacturers, did not attempt
to fiI the duties on raw wool. but was opposed
to any increase and favored the present duty.
He asked for a slight increase on the manu-
features Of wool, SO to place the American
manufacturer on an equal footing with the for
eigner, and recommended the following rates:
On yarn. 40 per cent ad yalorem; on wooden
goods 80 per cent al valorem; on clothing, 90
per cent ad yalorem; wool in semi-manufact-
ured condition to pay the duty prescribed for
unenumerated articles of wool and WOODEN
goods. This last clause, he said, was necessary
TO prevent fraud
Mr.. Il. z. Search of Philadelphia, represent
ing the manufacture club of that city. said
the club was not opposed to duty on wool
and did not care how high the tariff on this
article might be made.
Mr.. Tolwell of Philadelphia. manufac turer,
argued in favor of protection of all wool and
wooden goods.
Mr.. A. T. Kursheedt of Philadelphia, man.
ufacturer of braid, embroiderIes and other
novelties, briefly argued an increase of duty on
these articles.

The activity in building during the year just
closed has not been as noticeable as it was dur
ing the previous twelve months. There were
fewer large business buildings and fine
residences built last year, and hence the build
ing operations did not become so conspicuous.
While there was less talk. there was actually
more work done. Surprising as it may seem
there were over two hundred houses built dur
ing the calendar year Just ended more than
during the preceding year. The value of the
buildings erected. however, falls short of the
amount expended in building houses during
the previous year. The past twelve months
will be known as the era of the small houses.
There were perhaps more seven, eight and
nine-room houses erected during the year just
ended than during any similar period in the
history of the city. The bulk of these
houses was built in East Washington, where
the cheapness of the land and the progress
made i'll street improvements has attracted
the attention of investors as well as those
seeking homes. During tho past fiscal year
the excess in the number of houses erected
was more than three hundred as compared
with the number built during the correspond
ing months of the previous year. Below is
given the number of permits for dwellings
issued each month of last year and the year
preyiOus.

damages. With kind regards, am your ODE
