ENGLISH HENS NOT LAYING.
Fewer EERs Than lanai This Year
and the nrItIsh Farmer Il Said
to BE mt Fault.

-
Another British industry is on the
wane. TIE British hen is laying even
fewer eggs han usual nj this lean time
of year. Even the comfort that it is
hen and not man hat is behind the
times is denied. The principal reason
given for the shortage is the EidcbounG
medievalism of the British farmer. The
result is that the average town house
holder can scarcely get a dependable
ncw-laid egg 10 put upon his break
fast table. even at ar cNtOrtionate
price. says a London paper.
The annual consumption Of eggs in
London in the course of n year is esti-
mated at ) O.oOO.OCS Great Britain
consumed last year eggs to the value
OF L 100000 0 English farms could
produce all these without the dis place
mcnt of other agricultural products.
But so sadly behind his proper place
is the British farmer that lac allowed
the foreigner to send in during 1899 no
fewer than l.94O.CCC.O 900 eggs. TO the
value of E5.Cii.392.
The Poultry Organization society de-
fines a new-laid egg as not more than
three days old in warm weather or
five days in winter. Its expert says:
IF the home farmer would only ar
range for his young hens to commence
laying eggs by November land it can
easily be done 10y Matching early
there would soon be 4 better supply OF
new-laid eggs"
Here is n little illustration showing
the proportion Of foreign ones i'm
ported. The eggs consumed in Great
Britain in a year. IL loaded into rail-
way wagons. would make n train $50
miles long. containing $4,000 trucks. or

has the following to say OF Elko

Although l lived in Elko county
fourteen yeare, l had little idea Of the

Nevada occasionally hears something
Of the valleys Of Elko county. Dur
ing the past ten davs | have had the
pleasure Of IN extended trip embrac.

amazed at the industrial possibilities
OF that section. Deeth today has Il
better stock and agricultural backing
than Reno, and Starr valley, in many
western States, would support u Pop.
ulatiop OF $500. Nature has been
lavlth in her gifts. The mountains,
the streams with falls for mills aud
electric power, ths pastures and
meadows for creameries. flour mills
and pork.pucking establishments,
the us IA stuck center and II railroad
center Dreth and Starr valley present
opportunities for capital.
The RUDY Range, with its many
streams, frayed with it's beautiful
valleys. has no equal in arid America.
You may talk Of the Alps.of the lakes
~ Switzerland, the Mditerhorn and
Jangfrau, Of the valleys where Swiss
wealth is found, but the Ruby noun.

cessible peaks rival famous Europe.
Ruby valley, with her streams aud
vast meadows, changing INTO white

stock country AS can he found III the
West.
The people have substantial homes
and, ] am told, good bank accounts.
Washoe has her metropolis, Hum.

preesions Of Elko county are that in

tICn and tuHable wealth. She has

CHILLI Is VICTOR.
Comes Ahead in Arbitration by Pan
American Congress Over Peru.

New York, June "a special to the
Herald from Washington says.
Chill is distinctly the victor in the dis
cussion which has arisen over the ques-
ton Of arbitration to be considered by
the coming Pan-American congress.
The administration has virtually de-
cided not to agree to any suggestions
put forward by Peru or her allies re-
moving the limitation placed by the ex-
ecutive committee of the bureau of
American Republics on the subject of
arbitration. That principle under the
decision of the committee can only ap-
ply to future questions. Furthermore.
even if Peru and Bolivia do decline to
participate, the congress will be held
without them
Tt is the earnest wish of the president
that all the republics be represented at
the congress. It has been pointed out to
Peru that it is distinctly to her interests
to take part that to stay away would be
to deprive her Of the sympathy which
some of her sister states have extended
to her
While the United States would like to
see an early settlement Of the Tacna-
africa controversy, it can not take sides,
and it cannot afford to permit the ques-
ton to be dragged into the congress and
perhaps wreck the meeting.
