Cattle I'm Fine Condition aud the
Hay Crop Good.

Hay Crop Good
IL Ia given out that the extensive cattle
interests Of Nevada are in better shape,
and on a more profitable basis than for a
long time. There have been no deep
SHOWS or fierce billiards In recent years to
carry away the live stock. But there has
been enough snow to insure plenty Of fine
grass.
Cattle are now in excellent condition
there. and the hay crop. both Of wild and
alfalfa, is heavy.

Lovelocks, 80 miles east OF Reno, is ss the

Mr.. H. @. Cutting. Secretary Nevada

Dear Sir:-To your letter Of the 18Th
inst, asking that we grant special half
fares for teachers on the line OF our roads
in Nevada, we beg to say thai we will be
pleased to do so. We prefer, however, to
handle each case individually on Its merits,
and upon its being presented to us will
take the necessary steps to that end.
1t will be understood. Of course. that the
half fare rates will apply TO the teachers
upon their iourneying to the various
schools Al the commencement of each
term, and upon their return therefrom at
the close OF the term. II might also be
extended to trips between these periods
should teachers desire 10 make a trip to
their homes. Yours truly,

lie supposed to have arose from this: In
the more early settled counties Of the East,
the County Courthouse sat In the center Of
q circle, and the space within this circle
was known as the ring-the Courthouse
ring. Other authorities contend that the
term had reference TO the bell that in the

the word was originally spelled wiring"

Glover and Corn,

T. B. Terry contributes 10 Practical
Farmer some valuable suggestions on
the cultivation of these crops:
Without clover and corn," says
Mr.. Ssson, " we farmers here will fail.
An extra amount of cultivation in the
corn helps bring great growth of
clover and then the clover feeds the
corn. And again the clover furnishes
the albuminoids that we want to go
with the corn ensilage." This agrees
with my practice and with what / have
so long taught or tried to.
A dozen years ago, when / wrote in
the Country Gentleman that was GER
tain that the large amount of tillage
given our potato crop helped the yield
of grain following, l was not agreed
with. There were very few at least
who took any stock in such state
ment. But there is no doubt about
the truth of il. / knew then, and
know better now, that we can help the
wheat and clover following, by putting
much tillage on the corn or potatoes
preceding. The gradual deepening of
the soil, some rough-and-tumble tiIlage
that will bring new particles of soil
together, the rubbing down and pull
verifying of it, all help to set free plant
food for the clover. There is a great
deal of plant food in most soils. With
little tillage, and that of thoughtless
kind, it becomes available very slowly.

A Valuable Article.

The following article, clipped from

reference that we reprint it, and advise
every farmer who gets this copy of the

ence. We have seldom seen a more
compact glossary of terms used by
writers on farming. Much very valu-
able information is lost by farmers be-
cause they are not familiar with some
OF these common terms. Mantle.
nance means what would keep dry

old German standard ration. "Woods

Current Weekly Comment.

ANs.-Receipts, aggregating 1910 bar
rels, have been liberal. Prices are ruling in
| buyers favor.
CHEEsE.-Receipts, S,044 boxes. The gen.
eral condition of the market is unchanged.
Demand is very slack.
PoTAToEs.-Receipts, 81 900 bushels. The
market is very dull. Prices seem to be
ruling lower than ever.
CoRN-Receipts, 7053S bushels. Trade
has ruled quiet, but values have advanced
somewhat. Buyers needs are easily met,
| however
| OATS - Receipts, Ill ,553 bushels. De-
mand is quiet, but the strength of the mar
ket West has advanced prices here. Low
grades are dull
HAY AND STRAw.-Receipts, 401 cars of
hay and 80 cars of straw. The demand for
hay is quiet with heavily-stocked market
with all but choice grades. Both rye and
oat straw are quiet.
PoULTRY.-Receipts, 1874 packages. Tur-
keys have been in light supply and firm at
quotations. Most of the chickens have TO
be worked off at about 10c. Fowls have to
be fancy to bring to 9!c.
WooL.-The favorable results of the bond
sale have removed the financial strain to
large extent, and though there is no advance
in price there is a little more general in
quiry for American wool.
FLOUR. - Receipts, 27,928 barrels aud
SO, 547 sacks. The advance in the price of
wheat has caused general mar king-up in
the price OF flour, but buyers do not appear
TO respond to the advance.
EoGs.-Receipts, barrels and 10, 209 cases.
Fresh laid are in good supply, but the con-
sumptive demand increases slowly There
has been liberal supply OF all grades.
Prices generally rule in buyers favor.
LUMBER.-The recent falls of snow have
enabled the mills that were short to in
crease their supplies, and as result prices
are less firm. In fact. now that the mills
have been able to get logs buyers seem less
anxious to buy.
BUTTER Receipts, 16,05S tubs and 1882
boxes, or 632 $50 pounds. There has been
very little fine fresh Northern creamery on
the market. Most of the receipts are re-
served for regular trade, and charged out
in small lots at full prices. The general
trade has been very dull. After passing
the finest grades, there is very little doing.
There is still light supply of fine fresh
creamery, but receivers have been obliged
to cut prices TO meet competition from other
markets.
