The Young Mems Literary and Social
club observed its fourth anniversary
by holding Il grand banquet and social
ON Monday evening, which was un-
doubtedly the most enjoyable and fash
ionahla affair of it's nature ever held in
this borough. The guests of the club,
numbering about 100, assembled in the
club rooms early in the evening and
proceeded in a body to Father Mathew
hall, where. for a few hours, they
danced to the merry music of Hayes
orchestra. The han was very beauti-
fully decorated, and the charming cos
tunes of the ladies, the tasteful APP
pearance of the gentlemen and the en-
tiancing music made a scene of beauty
and pleasure rarely witnessed in these
parts Never before was there, in this
borough, such Il large assemblage of
the youth and beauty of the valley.
The grand march began at o'clock,
and at II the guests repaired to the
banquet hall of the Valley House,
where they did ample justice to the
bounteous and well-prepared menu
provided by Proprietor w. II. Ball.
Hayes orchestra of ten pieces seated
in a bower i'm THE rear of the hall, dis
cOursed their sweetest music during
the progress of the feast. At its con-
cluson Y. j. Swift, who was toast
master, arose and, after briefly and
aptly stating the purpose of the BAN
quet, introduced the president of the
club, w. II. Cummings. Mr.. Cummings
very appropriately outlined the pur-
poses for which the club was organized
dwelt upon its accomplishments in the
past and its prospects for the future.
Y. p. Moran ably responded to the
toast, Our Country" and told how
| and why we should love 1T. p. j. Kielty
spoke of THE Ladies'" in happy vein
and gave advice to his fellows which
they would do well to heed T. w.
Lotus paid a high compliment to
"Our Public Schools" He spoke fiat
| teringly of the work that they had done
and the even greater good it is posi-
BILE for them to do. j. r. Melvin re-
| sponded to the toast "Our Flag and
showed that he possessed oratorical
powers of a rare order His address
was one of the features Of the evening.
j. a. FoOte spoke briefly and entertain
ingly ON Music" and p. A. Philbin
spoke Of THE Press" After the ban
quet the guests returned to the hall
where they spent several pleasant
hours moving in the graceful meas
ures of the dance. The affair was ad-
mirably conducted throughout and re-
| fleets much credit on the club and par
| ticularly on the energetic young men
who manage it. While the previous an
nual socals of the club have always
been great successes, that of Monday
evening far eclipsed any of them, and
will be long remembered by those who
had the good fortune to be present.
Among the guests from out of town
were: Misses Mary Reedy. Nellie Cur
ran, Tessie Magee, May Moran, May
and Jessie McGouldrick, Fannie Magep,
Jessie Cavanagh, Jennie Gavin and
Annie Mollale, of Scranton.

'DIPHTHERIA'

Too many homes bear this fear-inspr-
ing placard, denOting the prevalence of
that most insidiolls and dreaded of all
diseases - Diphtheria.
1t is to-day n recognized fact among the
best practitioners that nine out OF ten
cases formerly considered hopeless may
be brought to happy termination by
the use OF that great original raw food
product,
BOVininc.
This great generating life-main-
tanning, strength-developing and flesh
producing product of lean, raw meat,
contains the greatest amount of life
preserving qualities in the least pos
sible bulk of any preparation known.
In cases of Diphtheria, Bovinine has
special advantages. In this disease, as
in others, the rapidity with which it is
assimilated gives to it preference over
all other foods, passing, as it does, into
the system Immediately, without causing
the digestive organs to perform any labor
And considering the fact that the LESSONS
in the throat prevent the swallowing of
solid food, 1t becomes an absolute neces-
sity. In the worst cases, where even
liquids cannot be taken by the mouth,
Bovinine
Saves Life
by being used as an injection. Above all,
BOvinine is in itself a germicide, and in
all such diseases as Diphtheria, caused by
microbes, it not only performs its greatest
mission of maintaining life, but antidotes
the existing bacilii.
Boyinine has done wonders in thousands
of cases of Diphtheria. When your doctor
uses it you may cease to worry, and be
assured of a speedy recovery. TO neglect
its use may mean years of remorse in the
feeling that some loved one might still be
with you if everything possible had been
done. Bovinne is sold by all Druggists,

sugar Reet PuIn.

Here are some facts in regard to
the manufacture of beet sugar
which should be of interest to Ne
vada people: A Salt Lake paper
states that within few days there
will be 1000 head Of cattle eating
sugar beet pulp at the new pens
near the factory of the Utah Sugar
Company Very extensive prepar-
ations have been made for the care
of the feeders during the coming
Winter and it is anticipated that
with the opening of Spring the cat
tie will be in prime condition for
marketing. 1t is possible that
some choice Christmas beef can be
selected. Hay and sugar beet pulp
will be the fat producers used in
preparing the stock for market and
the sugar company will furnish all
of the latter and some $40 tons of
the former. 1t is estimated that
$4,000 tons of pulp will be turned
out by the factory and that not
used at once is to be stored in pits
so that it will keep in good con-
dition during the entire season.

Future of Horses.

One hundred and fifty patents
have been issued to hyingmachine
inventors, and hundreds of patents
to inventors of horseless carriages
for the roads, to be propelled by
electricity, by steam, by gas and
gasoline, hot air, springs and per-
petual motion, but none of these
patent claptraps are practical. The
only use thus far is for the papers
to brighten farmers into selling off
their horses before the horseless age
comes. The city horse dealers have
worked that racket so strong that
they have bought thousands of
horses of the frightened farmers for
less than it cost to raise them, and
shipped them East and to Europe
at two to four times the price, and
it is now beginning to dawn upon
the farmers that the supply of good
horses is exhausted, and that prices
are advancing in all the city mar
kets, and those who kept their cour-
age and had faith in good horses,
and kept their horses until the scare
was over, are already finding eager
buyers at good prices for all the
good draft and coach horses they
have; and now prices are not so
much of a consideration as to find
the good horses. These no horseless
nonsense can ever affect. We must
use them in the cities to draw the
heavy loads and handsome vehicles.
We must use them on the farm to
pillow aud plant and reap. Farmers
who have been frightened off from
breeding good horses now find they
have lost three years Of valuable
time, and will now start in at the
bottom with the best mares gone,
and but few good stations to re-
establish our once proud and profit

Notes.

This is good time for grubbing,
and especially sassafras, which soon
takes possession of field if not
cleared out. Dig it up, roots and
branches, and then pillow the land
before the ground freezes.
Those who have Thanksgiving
turkeys to sell should use corn lib
orally now. 1t is the fat, plump
turkey that brings the best price.
Large turkeys do not sell as readily
as do those of medium size, the
heads of small families preferring
the latter, while another class of
buyers prefer two medium turkeys
to one that is extra large.
An Idaho sheep raiser sent 1900
wethers to England. Their weight
was 116 pounds each. He paid 50
per sheep for shipment and 4Oc for
selling. Seven men went with the
sheep to care for them. They sold
for $7.75 per head, and he made a
fair profit. With the use of mutton
breeds he would have had sheep of
nearly double the weight.
The New Jersey Experiment Sta
ton used sulphur at the rate of 300
pounds per acre as a remedy for the
rot of sweet potatoes. The result
was highly beneficial. The use of
sulphur with white potatoes reduc-
ed the scabby potatoes to only 5 per
cent by simply rolling the seed in
sulphur when freshly cut Where
sulphur was also sprinkled in the
rows it reduced the scabby potatoes
to per cent.
A potato grower gives the follow
ing plan for digging potatoes: Hitch
two horses on a single-shovel pillow;
pillow out every other row; pick up
the potatoes plowed out, then pillow
out the remainder and pick up.
Then, if you have been careful, you
have got the most of them. Ifnot,
run over with harrow, and pick up
remainder. The writer and his boy
will dig one acre a day this way,
and do it easy.

MerinOs.

The Merino sheep, although
small, is favorite, because it can
adapt itself where other sheep will
not thrive. Merinos can also exist
in larger focks than can other
sheep. Its strongest rival is the
Southdown, which is somewhat lar
ger and fully as hardy. The finest
wool is grown on the Merino, and
ewes make excellent mothers, as
they are good mixers, and are
usually very successful in raising
their lambs. Many breeders who
make mutton a speciality cross
Merino ewes with rams of larger
breeds on account of the hardness
of the Merino and the small loss Of
lambs compared with ewes OF some
breeds.

able horse-breeding industry.

able horse-breeding industry.
There are many of our country
banks who report that up to 1898
they paid out more money for
horses than for all other stock, and
farmers should prepare at once to
regain the breeding of high-class
horses as the most important in
terest of American agriculture.

FARM Notes.
Among the Poultry.

Among the Poultry.
Whole wheat is one of the best
grains for poultry.
Hens that are kept busy scratch
ing rarely contract vices.
Fowls should be kept from food
10 or IL hours before killing.
Wheat is rich in material for
growth and stimulates egg product
ion.
To have the hens lay with any
regularity in Winter, their quarters
must be warm.
For fattening fowls cooked food
is better than raw, for the reason
that it is more easily digested.
Buckwheat is a good Winter feed.
II is valuable as an egg producer
and will keep fowls in good con-
dition.
In breeding and raising poultry,
especially for market, size should
always be considered Fowls are
usually sold by weight.
On many farms geese could be
raised to good advantage. Besides
yielding regular income in the
way of feathers, they are a profit
able market fowl.
The egg market never gets over
stocked for very long at time.
Good, fresh, clean stock rarely
waits long for a buyer. So the poul-
try business cannot be said to be
overdone.
Keep the old hens that you know
are good mothers, especially if the
young chickens are TO be raised by
them. A hen that is a good mother
and a good forager is too valuable
to be sold.
If not keeping a pure breed of
fowls be sure to get pure bred roost-
ers to cross on the hens. In this
way the stock can be improved and
graded up at less cost than in
any other way.
One OF the most important items
necessary to insure success in the
Matching of chickens during the
Winter, especially for early broilers.
is to procure the eggs from flock
of healthy, vigorous fowls.
Good care, warm, clean quarters,
pure water and the right kind of
food will make the hens lay right
along Warm cooked food is always
a help in egg laying, and in this the
table scraps can be used to good
advantage.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1895-11-16

The cows that give good flow of
milk through the Winter are the
most profitable. Feed the COWS
we'll with good variety, giving
their feed at regular hours. Give
all the pure, fresh water they can
drink. Keep their quarters clean
and then if the ration is of milk
producing kind the COWS will give
good flow of milk all Winter.
