In his biennial report, which was

State Controller Sam 7. Davis
goes extensively into the system ol
taxation now in force in this State,
and freely points out some of its de-
fects. He also offers some pertinent
suggestions as to the remedies which
should be provided, and as it contains
a large amount OF matter which is OF
vital interest to the people of the
entire State, the greater portion is

The sheep Industry
Has grown TO great proportions in Ne
vsda under the stimulating influence Of
favorable climatic conditions.
Those who have followed the business
iuselligently have amassed fortunes. The
compiled reports of the Assessors (page

lS9S) place the sheep and lambs as
sessed in the State ct nearly 375. 900,
and this year 62o,OO0. Men familiar
with the subject can judge for themselves
as to the correctness Of this estimate.
but it is believed to fall short nearly q
million. 1t is certain. however. that no
sheep was ever assessed in this State at
its full cash value as the law requires.
The average rate is 81 or sl.50. When
sheep were bringing S4 a head the rate
was as a rule sl.50 for assessing pur-
poses. Under the law sheep owners
owning land are allowed to pasture
sheep in any part Of the State in proper.
ton to the land they own.
As result, g sheep owner having land
in Elko county can pasture his sheep in
Eureks, or any other county, if be likes,
and the county furnishing the feed can
not collect cent OF revenue.
Again, tax is evaded by sheep men
receiving bids from the Assessors Of
different counties as to the rate at which
they will be assessed. The county
which is willing to make the lowest rate
will get the chance of assessing the
sheep, and after the assessment is made
the sheep can be driven into some other
county TO feed and fatten the rest Of the
Summer.

psny, an outside corporation doing busi

sor Of its business or income.
The same may be said Of the Wells
Fargo Company, which, as . rule, pays
upon q small assortment Of Office furni-
ture only.
The Pullman Car Company makes no
account Of its Nevada business, and.
while it is one Of the wealthiest corpor-
ations in the United States, does not
hold itself accountable to the Tax Asses
sors Of Nevada for business transacted
in this State.

successful in escaping taxation. 1t is .

head, and in few weeks after the taxes
are paid on that basis, the local paper
congfatulates the owner of the herd on
selling 5000 head at an average Of $50,
and no further notice is taken Of the
matter.
In one county visited by the State
Board the assessment roll did not show .
single head Of beef cattle, and the Asses
sor was asked if there were no beef cat
tie in that county. He replied that be
had no otficis, knowledge Of any. The
visiting Board called his attention to the
fact that they had been but two hours in
the county, and had seen thousands Of
head Of good fat beef cattle grazing along
the line Of the railroad, worth about $40
q head, and they thought it odd that
these animals did not appear on the as
sessment roll. He replied that he did
not consider it his duty to 20 about the
county hunting cattle.
An investigation Of the assessment
roll showed that the roll Of one year was
almost a duplicate of the year before,
and that the revenue officer Of the county
was doing little more than the mere cler-
icsl work Of copying.
This is not the case Of one county
alone but several.
In one instance q County Assessor ad-
mittsd in court under oath that he had
never read the laws pertaining to his
Office.
Cattle men seldom return the full quota
Of their herds to the revenue Office. They
pay taxes on about one-fourth Of their
herds numerically. and then beef cattle are
generally rated as stock cattle, which for
assessing purposes is great depreciation
OF value.
Prominent cattle men of this State es-
innate that in the neighborhood of ten
million dollars worth of beef cattle were
shipped from this State during the year
1898. Statistics tabulstsd from the As
SCISSORS reports for 1898 show that but
little over $500, 900 worth of cattle in
the entire State we're assessed, and for
1900 but 1924. 900 worth.
The record can be found on page AZ Of
the Surveyor Generals report for the
years 1897 1898, and in his report for
1900. not printed at the present writing.

The Rainy Day Skirt.

The rainy day skirt has almost entirely
done away with the feminine waterproof
or macintosh coat which few years
ago occupied a place in every woman's
wardrobe. These garments were made
up most extensively in silk and rubber
mixed materials, many of them being
beautiful in color and finish.
While they looked extremely pretty on
damp days, they were never a healthful
garment, for the rubber material exclud-
cd the air and made the clothing damp
Then the difficulty of raising the dress
skirt was increased, and the rubber cloak
invariably trailed in the mud and became
unsightly.
Nowadays woman dressed for a jour
ney in the rain is sensibly clad, from her
heavy cork soled shoes, which have done
away with the clumsy and Objectionable
overshoe, to her neat, tightly fastened
hat, made to withstay the elements.
Many women venture out in these wa
terproof suits without an umbrella, but
the umbrella gives a finish to the trim
costume. On rainy days and even on
fine days when these costumes are worn,
the hair should be plainly brushed and
neatly coiled or braided. An elaborate
couture or loosely arranged hair is in
congruous with these gowns which sug-
gest exercise in the air.

ALFALFA CULTURE.
According to Eastern Practice-SOil,
Seed and Seeding

Alfalfa grows well on varying kinds
of soil provided the subsoil is open and
porous. The most favorable is a rich,
somewhat sandy loan, warm and fra
bic, with d deep and loose or gravelly
suhsoil well supplied with lime y
dense clay or hardpan subson is most
unfayogable Alfalfa also sometimes
does well Oh poor, well drained, gravel
" land
1t is especially desirable that the soil
he supplied with an abundance of lime
The plant is heavy feeder and will
not thrive on soil deficient in plant
food. Fertilizers should contain main
ly potash and phoSphoric acid, and
while alfalfa is a leguminous plant, ca
pablo of obtaining atmospheric nitro
gen, it responds quickly to applica-
tons of heterogeneous manures. These
should be spread broadcast and har-
roWcd in thoroughly.
The treatment of the field for the sea
son preceding should be such as to
most effcctually subdue all weeds and
cause the Sprouting and destruction of
any seed in the ground; hence farm
yard manure should not be used for at
least one year before seeding.
Pure seed is essential. Only that
which is bright, plump and clean
should be used. The seed resembles
that of red clover, but is larger and
when fresh has a grecnish yellow color
Experience has demonstrated that in
order to secure a good stand it is best
to SOW 80 to 81 pounds of seed per acre
The seed should bc sown broadcast
preferably the last of April or the first
of May, without any protective crop
though fall seeding has sometimes
proved successful ON Wecdy or light
dry land 1t should be covered with q
very light harrow or wccder anl
1 lightly rolled.
I Care should he taken that the seed is
not put in too deep This is very i'm
portant ana is often the cause of fail
ure. The depth viii vary somewhat
with the kind of soil, but in general il
! planted more than three inches decl
there is danger that the terminating
plant will not he able to reach the sur
face. One-half TO TWO inches are about
the extremes.
Another point of Importance is thai
the soil should he packed around The
seed. Many failures to secure 4 stan(
of alfalfa are traccab,e To sowing Tn,
seed broadcast on newly ploWC(
ground, and narrowing to mix the SeeC
loosely with the surface soil. 1t is safer
to compact the soil and then 20 over il
with a light harrow or weedcr, loosen
ing the immediate surface soil.-E. Il

Many Merits Claimed For It-Ensy to
Grow and RcIished by stock.
The merits of beardless barley and
the advantages Of its cultivation in
comparison with other better known
crops are being much urged in various
quarters lately. An Ohio Farmer CORE
spondent says Of it, 1t is a spring va
riety and should he sown as early rs
the ground can be prepared. Sow about
two bushels to the acre, preferably
with the drill. On good soil and sown
early, ii is Il more certain crop than
either oats or wheat.
1t has not the parasitic enemies of
wheat ana does not lodge or damage
in transforms as badly as oats 1t is
not adapted to thin clay land but on
strong corn land it will yield more
pounds per acre than oats and is worth
more per pound TO feed alone than oats,
but is not so rich in protein. The straw
is relished far more by stock than
either wheat or oats
We grow it very largely for its supe
riority as a crop with which to SOW red
clover. We find we are more certain TO
get a stand when clover is sown on
freshly prepared ground, and the bar
ley, not shading the ground so much as
oats and coming off month earlier,
makes it far superior as a cover crop
1t may be fed without thrashing to
horses, calves or sheep, or, if thrashed,
