The Wadsworth dispatch. [volume] (Wadsworth, Nev.) 1892-1899, 1897-08-07

The Rome correspondent OF the Free
mans Journal has cabled a letter written
BY Cardinal Jocobini and addressed to
all the Catholic bishops throughout the
world, proposing n of the most wide
spread series of religious events proba-
bly, ever held. These extraordinary re-
ligious services, it is intended, shall
commemorate the close OF the nine
tenth and the beginning of the twenti-
eth century. The project is the result
OF the desire to respond to the wish of
the Pope to consecrate the transition
from one century to another by an lex
traordinary invocation Of the the devine
assistance OF Jesus Christ as a happy
prestige of peace and concord.

Can You Sleep2

Homely language, like a homely girl,

out their brains and bodles,-a useless
waste of energy and life. Pabst Malt

sleep to you-you will nestle to slumber
like tired child. Take a glass just be-

BEN DOUGLASS SHOT.

New reached here Thursday evening
| that Ben Douglass, Superintendent OF
the old w. S. Bailey ranch near st.
| Clair and nephew OF Joe Douglass, the
Virginia City millionaire and capitalist,
had been shot by Metsker, who, until Al
few months ago, had been the foreman
of the ranch. Douglass was shot three
times, once in the lett arm, once through
the left lung and the third ball went Into
his abdomen. 1t seems that the men
ouarreled over a watch chain which
| Metske- had loaned Douglass and
not returned because he wanted to
have it fixed. Anyhow they quarreled
over the matter and Metsker drew his
revolver at the same time telling Doug
lass il he wanted to settle the matter to
draw his, When Douglas made a motion,
to draw his gun Metsker shot him as
above described. DR.. Jackman was
summoned to attend Douglas and left
here about $50 that night and made 1t
by l 80 yesterday morning. DIR. Gibson
came from Reno and DIR. Harris an old
army surgeon from Virginia City
arrived during the morning. The sur
%geons say the chances are in favor OF
Douglass recovery. Metsker surrender
ed himself and is now in the county Jail
at saltwater awaiting the results OF
Douglass wounds.
The foregoing version was the n
current here.
LATER and authentic is the story that
Metsker entered STATIONS store and
said to one Mcmillan: "Well how are
you old sport, what's the news?" Me-
Mellan replied: "Nothing." Douglass
lass got off the counter, ana SAID: Il
have lots of news" and struck Metsker.
Metsker had his hand on his gun by
this time and told Douglass to get his.
Douglass made a motion to draw his
weapon and Metsker shot him in
the abdomen and through the left
hung, when the men clinched and Nets
ker shot Douglass in the back and then
picked up the scale weights from the
counter and stru k Douglass over the
head a number of times before Douglsss
succumbed to his wounds. The surgeons
all says Douglass chances for recovery
are good.

The test has also developed the fact
that it Is needless to have the stuff
worked by Il complicated or scientific
process, as it can be thoroughly hand

of the owners of the mine to have e
placers hauled to W%adsworth where wa

Storing Potatoes.

Potato crop reports from all over the
eastern states agree i'll stating that rot
or blight has widely prevailed Rural
New Yorker says: While it is likely
that potatoes will bring high price be-
fore spring, our own plan this year is
To sell the crop as soon as we convcn-
icntly can. Storage in the damp soil
during hot or muggy weather or in a
warm, damp and close cellar will be IA
vorable for the growth Of the germs,
and rot will surely spread through the
tuhers. Those who can keep the pota-
toes in a dry cool and well ventilated
place may possibly do better by holding
them for a later trade.
When dug ont of fields where the
vines have blighted, we would dust
handful Of air slaked lime over each
hushol Of potatoes intended for storage
For the benefit Of succeeding crops we
Would rake up the vines and burn them
IT once Readers might as we'll make
up their minds now that seed potatoes
will he high next spring Last A pril we
bought excellent seed at : per barrel
Ii is now impossible TO contract for the
same varieties for next spring S delivery

shrinkaRe Of Corn In Storage.

Corn Is the grain that probably
shrinks most, though as it grows less
in bulk its nutritive value is not less
ened 1t may be even possible If the
cob be still damp that some nutrition
goes from cob to the grain while it is
In the crib The moist oornoob has
some sweetness That of the dried cob
is only woody fiber and potash. We
once measured $50 bushels of corn In
the ear into crib AS we had most Of
it ground in the ear for feed we meas
ured out the corn during the winter as
1t was taken from the mill. The
loss in bushels was more than 70 and
of weight still moro than this This
was less decrease than we had expected.
But the corn was put in when thor
oughly ripened. and we began TO take
it to the mill to grind it before it had
dried out much. The Dent corn wastes
in drying much more than Flint corn
does. 1t is less compact after it is dried
and cannot be brought up to the stand
ard weight of Flint corn either when
wet or dry. y.-Amerioan Cultivator.

The relative merits of various forage
crops, particularly for soiling or feed
ing green, has been a subject Of interest
at the Ithaca IN " station. Crops
which have given greatest satisfaction
at the station are: First. corn; second,
a mixture of oats and peas; third, oats |;
fourth, mixture of oats and barley;
fifth, rye; sixth, barley; seventh. Hun
garian or the millets. The relative
value per acre of the feed grown at the
station was as follows: Oats and peas,
$63 II; oats alone, $57 90; oats and
barley, S4S. 80; barley alone, $31.99.
Sorghum, teosinte and saohaline are
not adapted to New York.
Crimson clover proved very valuable
for late fall pasture and as cover crop
to be turned under in spring It made
a MUCH heavier fall growth than either
red clover or mammoth clover, and
analyses and weighing on Nov. showed
that while crimson clover had gathered
l56 pounds nitrogen per acre red clover
had gathered but l03 pounds and mann

the Grange met at the house of brother
Jones and proceeded to enjoy his hospi-
tally without leave or license. A pleas
ant hour was spent singing, cracking
jokes and having general good time,
then came the real surprise. In a short
speech, expressing the sentiments of the
Grange, brother and sister Jones were
presented with a beautiful lamp and
fruit plates. This present is intended to
exhibit the deep respect and appreciation
of his labors which the members of this
Grange bear for brother Jones and his
wife.

The San jose Scale,

The San Jose scale has found its way
into eastern orchards, Professor Smith
of the New Jersey station suggests this
plan of treatment; Spray thoroughly
in September all infested bearing ap-
pie, pear, plum and peach trees with
undiluted kerosene during the middle
of clear, sunshiny day. BY "undilut-
ed kerosene is meant the ordinary fluid
used in lamps-just as it is purchased
The finest possible spray is to be used
and every part of the tree should be
wet
Treating nursery stock or very young
trees with undiluted kerosene is not now
recommended, since ii is not yet certain
that serious injury may not be caused

VARIOUS FODDER CROPS.

Grown For Several Years Experimentally
at the Vermont Station.
In a Vermont station report J. L.
Hills gives record of the growth,
yield and composition of the following
crops grown on experimental plats Jap
anese millet. Hungarian millet, cow
pea, sofa bean, fat pea, yetch and oats
Bokhara clover, crimson clover, alsike
clover, white clover, wild vetch. oats
and peas, The yield of nutrients is
calculated for each crop. Here append
ed are such brief extracts from this re-
port as limited space permits:
The (cow) peas were planted in early
June TO avoid the possibilities of early
frosts) and harvested Oct /, the tops
being Just barely touched by frost Seed
was we'll formed, but not ripened, ON the
Extra Early and Calico varieties. These
two varieties also made the best growth
and richest fodder Judging from but
single years experience, the eowpeas
presented no advantage over SOFA beans
except that of growing, in two cases,
slightly richer fodder. The yield of dry
matter was at best less than half, and
the yield of protein less than o.thirds
that given on the SOFA bean plats, The
latter crop grew with as little attention,
was harvested with greater ease and is
well relished by cattle.
The first years growth of fat pea
(Luthyrus Slvestris) was spindling as
is always the case. The second year g
crop produced at the rate of Ga tons Of
green fodder, ia tons of dry matter
and nearly half a ton of crude protein
per acre The third years 1896 crop
was quite as large as was its predeces-
sor 1t has not always commended itself
to feeders, and further experience with
it must be obtained before unqualified
approval should be given. 1t analysed
higher in protein than any other of the
experimental crops grown during 1895
These crops have been grown on the
station farm for several years expert
mentally and have usually given good
satisfaction. In the present cases yields
have been obtained at the rate of from
ia to l019 tons of green fodder, from
Q to B tons of dry matter and from 800
to $50 pounds of protein per acre. We
have not, however, seen wherein vetches
and oats are superior to peas and oats
of which greater tonnages can usually
be grown in the same time and at no
greater expense.
Crimson clover, when sown in the
spring, does we'll in Vermont. Several
plats sown in the summer, which went
under the snow in fine share, We're en-
tirely missing in the spring, not plant

F. A. Curtis and Mrs. Lucinda Foss
were arraigned in the municipal court at
Rockland, Saturday, on the charge of
numbering Charles w. Bowen. The ar
raignment of Mrs. Foss was a surprise
as she was not arrested until that morn
ing. The accused pleaded not guilty,
but after a hearing, which lasted all day,
Judge Hicks found probable cause and
they were committed to Jail to await the
action of the grand jury. Few new facts
were brought out. The State put in
only enough evidence to hold the ac-
cused while the defense put in no evil
dence whatever.
