Some of Reno's mining promoters
ON Carson's progressive business
methods. There is no mining boom in
Carson. There is in Reno. Yet Carson
by one little transaction has done more
to materially develop the latent mining
possibilities of this section than Reno
has yet accomplished. Just few miles
south of Carson is low grade PROPOSE
ton too large for individuals to handle.
Two brothers have been making an eX-
cell-nt living out Of it. Liberal i'll spirit,
wise in business, these brothers wisely
de, ided to let in the public. A company
w is organized stock issued, and in two
days 5000 shares were sold at value of
fifty cents per share payable two cents a
share each month. Carson asked no
questions, for here was chance to build
up AN industry. The $l2,5OO will develop
the mine and who knows but Douglas
Island low grade proposition may be
opened up. Who knows but South
African Rand may be uncovered in this
strange land of historic tracks in this
wondrous land of fairy scenic attractions
II Carson could raise $l2.5OO to develop
one mine Reno ought to raise $l25,000 tc
develop ten mines.-Reno Ledger.

? In 1S41 Joseph Burkett, with his
wagons, stock and family, as was
the custom i'll those days, came from
Tennessee to look up home where
civilization would not be crOwding
him as it had, and having rested
oyer night on the banks of CroOded
creek, both he and his family decided
that it would be useless to 90 far
ther in search of a home rich in all
the bOunties of nature.
In 1855 Jas. Stiff er, L. D. Rush
and Others were attracted to the
locality; and when, after the close of
the civil war, in 1865, Capt ". II,
Flick. whose military duties led him
into this section. decided to build
town here, he found a considerable
community ready to form a nucleus.
and the addition of Il store and post
office started the future METROPOLIS on
ITS career as the center of one of the
richest sections of the southwest.
Under the name Of Stiff1er's Spring

Mr. Brazil. an extensive sheep raiser
living southeast OF Tulare, Cal, has
been troubled by tho coyotes, four or
i've men being necessary to guard each
band of sheep from them. Mr.. Brazil
has been using a Winchester pretty
freely upon them. but this Is expensive
and he has struck upon another plan
which seems to be almost as effective
and great deal cheaper. Every other
night he goes around the ranch and
explodes frecrackers. He finds the
noise and the smell of the powder are
sufficient to keep the coyotes away for
couple of days. He has tried the ex-
pertinent several times and it has
proved a success.
The Fort Worth Register publishes
an interview on cattle conditions in
Texas, with Col. s. B. Burnett who
recently returned from visiting his
ranches in Indian Territory and Kins
county, Texas. He said that in all his
long experience in the cattle business
in the Indian Territory and Texas he
had never seen a more favorable sea-
son for cattle than this one. On both
his ranches, Colonel Burnet. reports
that cattle are doing as well as he ever
saw them. While it is very dry, it IS
all the better for the range on that ac-
count, and there is enough stock
water to last until April at least.
There is little fear that rain will come
by that time anyway.
Contrary to general opinion, tuber-
culosis, though somewhat rare, is not
by any means unknown among horses.
There are plenty of cases on record
in which deaths have been caused by
this disease, and an addition to the
list has just been furnished by Mr..
j. H. Bennett, NJ. r. G. " s., OF Bonn
ford, who contributes to the "Veter-
mary Record the details of an inter-
esting case which came under his OBJ
servation recently. The animal in
question, a half-bred black cart geld
ing, was 16 years of age, and died in
what is known as the usual course.
on October 10. On post mortem exam
ination, his abdominal cavity was
found to contain a large quantity Cat
least 10 gal.) of fluid, and further ex-
animation showed that the animal had
fallen a victim to a very bad attack of
tuberculosis. How he contracted tu-
berculosis is a matter of some mys-
terry, as he had never been in close
contact with cows, nor had he ever
drunk any cows milk. Mr.. Benefits
contracted through the animal drink
at some public trough or fountain, as
the horse was largely employed in car
rying farm produce to the London
markets.

nre In all Of our states counties or
parts of counties far more subject to
drouth than are other counties 1t
naturally follows that such localities
have an excessive amount of sunshine
and are hence adapted to the develop
ment of the alfalfa plant. Some of
the best farmers in the east have
found the plant adapted to their local
tiles and have commenced to grow 1t
for the supplying Of the protein needed
in their feeding rations. We have mo-
ticed that during the last ten years
there are certain parts of Illinois far
more subject to drouth than are the
other parts of the state. If alfalfa
could be established in such localities
the benefit to the whole state would
be great
Alfalfa is not, like red clover.
plant that will endure for two or three
years only. 1t is perennial, and,
once established, can be depended on
to grow for a considerable number
of years, depending on the seasons
and the way it is cut and otherwise
handled. In fact in the dryer portions
of South America there are said to
be fields of alfalfa that have been
growing continuously for the last 200
years. But we are not generally able
to get in this climate fields that will
stand for all time. There are added
elements here antagonistic to such
state of affairs. Alfalfa being a very
deep rooter may be grown on land
barren to other plants. If there be
partly barren strip of dry soil with
good water table ten feet below the
surface the long roots of the alfalfa are
often able to sustain it's development
when all ordinary forage plants die
ovt for lack of moisture.
The best soil for the plant is sandy
loan underlaid at some depth by moist
gravel. Saturated land of any kind
is not suitable to it even though 1t is
a plant that requires a good deal OF
water. The soil that has hard-pan
down a foot or SO is not suitable to
it's growth if the hard-pan be i'm
pervious to roots. A limy soil is suit
able to its growth, and where the land
is deficient in lime that article should
be supplied The plant, being heavy
feeder, will not thrive on land that is
deficient in plant food. If artificial
manures of any kind are to be used
they should consist principally of pot
ash and PHOSPHORUS. To give the
plant a good start, nitrogenous ma
nures are sometimes very seryiceable.

AlfaIr. in tn. ives. and East.

Alfalfa is a plant primarily adapted
to the lands of drouth and sunshine.
and up to a very recent date it has
been regarded as entirely unsuited to
any lands east of the Mississippi river
and north of the Ohio. The trials
with it in Iowa, Wisconsin. Michi-
gan, Illinois and Indiana were in the
main against it, and the stations as
well as the leading farmers of the
states named. have advised that it be
left alone But in the states of Ohio,
New York and even in New Jersey,
alfalfa has been recently grown in
some localities with marked success.
This has revived the investigations
relative to its usefulness in these
states usually abundant.y supplied
