Cut Young HaY.

H. NJ. Schooley, of Smith Valley,
fed for D. c. Simpson last season,
thirty-nine head of beef steers
The animals were fed for fifty-six
days, and at the end of that time
each steer showed an average in,
crease of sixty-eight pounds. This
increase is far above the average
and Mr.. Schooley accounts for il
from the fact that the animals were
fed on hay that was cut young
This hay, he claims, contains much
more nutriment than hay that is
allowed to get too old before cut
ting, and his experience goes tC
show that his theory is correct.

What About Our Fairs

Many changes will have to be
made this year, we believe, in re-
lation to holding our County Fair,
for it is a fact, conceded by all,
that a County Fair can never be
made much Of a success at Wabus-
ka. The people have tried to hold
a fair there for several years past,
but the place is so far from both
ends of the county that the attend
ance has always been slim and the
exhibits limited, while the racing
has been confined to a few spurts
between scrub horsee. We do not
mean TO say that there are not
good and fast horses in the county;
there are, but their owners will not
put them on such a track as there
is at Wabuska and try to make any
kind of fast time. They would be
foolish to do so.
The question, therefore, is, where
shall the fair be held this year?
There are but two places that are
fit to have it. One is Dayton and
the other Greenfield. The people
of the latter place are very anxious
that their town should be chosen
as the point, and they are ready,
we are informed, to contribute lib
orally to make the change. They
certainly have grounds for claim
ing that Greenfield is a superior
place to Wabuska for fair purposes.
Their town is in the heart of the
agricultural portion of the county,
and the attendance would be large
from that section, while the exhib-
its of stock and agricultural pro-
duce would be larger and better
and the races more entertaining.
The one obstacle is the distance
from the railroad and the racing
circuit.
Without wishing to engender any
i'll feeling in the matter, we shall
contend that for the benefit of the
entire county, Dayton is the prop
er place to hold the fair. Here we
have an excellent track and are
close to the the thickly populated
portion of the country. The fair,
if held here, would attract ten peo-
pie to where it would one if held
in Greenfield, and the racing would
be more interesting from the fact
that it would give our home horses
a chance to meet outsiders that
would come here but not go as far
as Greenfield. The attendance
from Carson and Reno would be
large and the gate receipts in pro-
portion. 1t would be some distance
for our valley neighbors to bring
stock and other exhibits, but they
would be enabled to show them to
so many more outsiders that it
would be of much more advantage
to them.
The next question is, what are
the people of this end of The coun-
to willing to do to establish the fair
in Dayton, where it would fill the
town with outside people for sever
al days and drop several thousand
dollars of outside money into the
county? 1t will take money and
labor to accomplish the change,
and the time is none too long to
act in.
These columns are open to any
one who has any views at all on
the fair question, and thinks that
they will be of assistance towards
the holding of successful fair any

THERE IS NO DANGER IN IT.

The best recommendation that a
popular remedy can present is that il
is safe in the hands of children. When
we consider how many little ones are
injured every year by finding the med
icine bottle and taking an overdose, a
remedy that contains no poison is
alone entitled to be called A great
household medicine. That this is the
case with Reid'S German Cough and

can Parrot
or all the members OF the fcAthered
tribes there are none which have been
greater favorltes and have besn re-
garded with a greater degree otgenuine
attachment than parrots The beauty
Of their plumage with It's wealth and
variety OF gorgeous colors. their sym
metry OF form and their gracetulness
of manner, would alone have been suf-
ficient 10 give them their popularity.
But the closest link they have estab-
lished with our affections is, OF course,
found in their wonderful faculty for
the repetition Of spoken words and vari-
Gus familiar sounds, together with their
possession, in many instances, Of rea-
soning power which suggests that they
are not always mere imitators, but
really understand the general sense OF
what they say. Combined with this
power of speech the fond attachment
which they are capable of showing to-
ward those who feed or are otherwise
kind TO them leads to their being among
the most favored as they seem 10 be
also among the best fitted, companions
among the brutes
In their native condition the parrots
are found in vast assemblies, which are
often a thousand or more in number,
and often seen clustered together and
talking in loud and excited tones ON the
trees of some dark forest or sequestefed
swamp, or taking long, though low,
flights through the air TO their favorlte
watering places
The most talented of the many varie-
ties is the gray parrot, which is a ma
tive of west Africa, and which, when
taken young and well trained displays
some really wonderful gifts One Of
these parrots, owned in England lived
to a remarkable age 1t had a good
memory and easily learned sentences
in Dutch, but at sixty this faculty
began to fail, at sixty-fve the moulting
was irregular, and at ninety the bird
was decrepit, blind and voiceless, grad
ually sinking into a kind Of lethargy, in
which condition it finally died.
The tone OF his singing was very odd.
1t sounded like an automaton initiating
the human voice The maid prompted
him to sing God Save the King" He
sang all the verses Of it, but now and
then wandered into the Banks of the
Dee, which seemed his favorlte, and
one or two Scotch songs, the names of
which l forget Col, O'Kelly told us
that his power Of catching sounds was
quite astonishing; that on one occasion |
when newspaper had been read aloud
in his presence the colonel, on coming |
into the room half an hour after, had, |
as he opened the door, been convinced |
by the sound that the same person was |
still reading aloud, and was scarcely /
able to believe that it was the parrot /
to himself inarticulate sounds
precisely in the tone and manner of the
reader.
Among other peculiarities of the same
bird may be mentioned its possession of
IN accurate ear for music, SO that it
would beat time while it whistled, and
# it mistooll note it would revert to
Lhe bar where the mistake occurred
