RAISE HOGS.
An Industry TO be Established In Cal
ifOrnia that will Help Nevada.

ifOrnia that Will Help Nevada
The Nevada State Board of Trade
has received circular letter from
the Union Stock Yard Company, OF
San Francisco, stating that the
company will have its extensive
butchering and packing plant in
operation by the first of August,
or very soon thereafter.
This company intends to operate
on a large scale, the same as SINH
lar concerns do in Chicago, Kansas
City and Omaha, and it can handle
500 head of beef, 1000 head Of
sheep and 1000 head of hogs daily,
and can easily double its capacity
for hogs.
At the present time all the hams
and bacon consumed on this coast
come from Chicago and other points
far to the east of US, but we see nc
reason why an industry of this
kind should not succeed + on this
coast, and also be of considerable
benefit to this State.
Hogs can be raised at profit in
this State, moreso now than before
the establishment of creameries
in our agricultural districts, because
the farmers who supply the cream
cries with cream have the milk left
with which to fatten pigs.
In Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and
other States, where corn is the great
staple, farmers have made them
selves independent raising hogs
1t is estimated that hog will gair
about seventeen pounds from s
bushel of corn. Barley will give
nearly the same result. A gooc
breed of hogs will gain about two
pounds a day. Although corn il
probably the best fattening food fol
hogs, and can be raised here, it ii
not absolutely necessary to feec
corn, as it is well known that hog
fed on potatoes, beans, peas, milk
barley, and even alfalfa, fatter
rapidly and make excellent pork
We believe that this is an indus
try that our farmers should lool
into. We are not able to state thu
price that could be obtained fol
hogs, nor the transportation charg
} es, but these particulars can be OBJ
tanned with accuracy by addressing

Fer Cas-idy.s Widow.

The White Pine Neacs learns that
Geo. w. Cassidy's widow is left in
poor circumstances financially, as
Mr.. Cassidy did not have his life
insured, nor was he the possesser of
much property when he died. The
Neaes suggested that each paper in
the State open a subscription list,
and every citizen contribute a dol
lar for the widow. The newspapers
are asked to act as treasurers, and
when a weeks donations have been
received to forward the same to
G. S. Nixon, of the Winnemucca
bank, who will act as treasurer for
the fund. The idea is good one;
George Cassidy would have done as
much for any of us. Nearly every
paper in the State has list, shall
Lyon be behind? The TIMES will
get in for starter, and every citizen
should put in a dollar. Let us have
a good list publish next week.

HARRIsON,s sUBTERFUGE.


-
The gold-bug press of Nevada
may learn something of the silver
issue by reading this sensible article
from the Danville Record, a paper
published in the Republican State
of Pennsylvania:
off ever there was a fraud sought
to be practiced on the American
people, it is that which President
Harrison is endeavoring to do by
calling an International conference
of the monarchal nations of the Old
World to establish a ratio for
standard of money to govern the
American people. The patriotic
American citizen who cannot see
through this flimsy scheme must be
blind indeed. Monarchies, who
have spat on our flag time and
again, and who would over throw
our free institutions at any moment,
if it was possible TO do SO. Monarchy
to establish a standard of value
that would rob every producer or
toiler, whether on the farm, in the
MILL. machine shop or behind the
counter, of their God given heritage.
Monarchy that has plundered US of
hundreds of millions of gold, and
the products of mine, field and shop,
annually to satisfy the greed for
gain, to fix our standard of value?
Away with such humbuggery. The
conference is only another subter-
fuge to catch the poor ignorant
dupes (voters) into supporting a
system that will further enslave
them the coming four years. Where
is there loyal citizen who does not
know that England will never SUBJ
nit to standard of money value
that will strip her of her power
Commercially over this nation,
the United States. 1t is just as i'm
possible to gain the assent Of Eng
land to unite on a fixed silver ratio
that will gold and silver at parity
as it would be to obtain their con-
sent to an international conference
to fix a protective tariff on mer-
chandise. England don't want a
parity between gold and silver any
more than she wants protective
tariff against her industries. Gold,
as standard of value in England
and the United States, makes her
mistress of the seas and keeps other
nations begging at her doors for
money capital, gold, which, through
her mastery craftsmanship in fl
nance always keeps gold flowing
from all parts of the world into her
Golfers. This international confer
ence is the work of the gold-bugs
and the leading metropolitan press
subsidized in their interest. 1t is
the same power that in all ages sub
Ijugated man to slavery, barbarism
and crime, and all the concomitant
evils that afflict the human race.
