Grow Alfalfa.

Considerable has been said In this de.
partment in favor of alfalfa and the
prediction Is now made that In less
than five years the farm where more or
less alfalfa is not grown will be an ex.
ception TO the general rule The only
possible objection that can be urged
against alfalfa is that it cannot be Gu,
for hay the first season after sowing
the seed. This is silly objection for
certainly one can afford to miss this cut
ting If thereby they establish a per.
manent meadow that may be cut, after
the first year, several times during the
season. 1t has been demonstrated thai
the feeding value of alfalfa is very
great, one authority claiming hat In a
feeding test 81 pounds of alfalfa gave
the same returns as 100 pounds o:
wheat bran.

Feeders are Greatly in Demand
In his Section Of
The Stale

One of the chief Industries of this
portion of Nevada is stock raising. and
The existing conditions &c the markets
are always matter of news 10 peo-
lie Of Winnemueca and vic nifty.
The past season has .en quite pro-
fitable to the cattle raiser. but now
comes time where it Keeps him a
guessing what to do. Near al the
beef cattle have been sold and the
question arises of purchasing ieecfrs
and taking long chance On the future
market.
1t is a known fact that the heavy
western catt.e buyers have in their
purchase OF beef stock this fall not
been very particular in their selection,
taking good healthy looking feeders
along with the beeves and those which
were not held here have been sent 10
their California feeding farms, thus
giving them a reserve sup),y to draw
from during the winter months.
Speaking of The winter market a
stockman was heard yestsr lay To re-
mark that good prices were bound to
continue from now on unt;, the last
of February, but then there might Le
slight decline owing to fae fact that
should the cattle raisers If arizona
and New Mexico have a good winter
they would flood the market with their
range cattle which are cry accept
able as beeyes at that time when a fav-
orable season has been pa ss-i, and
they can be wintered mncn cheaper
than where they have to be fel from

ELKS DRIVEN
WITH CATTLE
A Peculiar Sight hat Will Be
W itnessed in This
Town

A unique sight will be witnessed in a
few days. Two great droves of cat
tie, amounting to some twelve hun
dred head, will arrived here about the
10th from Miller & Lux ranches in
the far north.
What will be most interesting will
be eighteen cattle with horns double
discounting those Of Texas steers.
In other words the droves will in
clude eighteen head of elks. There
were that number when they started
but some are liable to be lost on the
road unless the vaqueros' ponies are
swift indeed.
These broad horned monarchs of the
mountains are from the John Alvord
ranch in the McDermitt country, which
has been leased by Miller & Lux
They will be taken to that firms priv
ate park near Giiroy.
The cattle will arrive in two herds.

Most of them hail from White Horse.
G. r. Colombit, head shipper for Mil

1T SHOULD
BE RESTOCKED
A Correspondent Tells of the
Needs of the humboldt
River

Editor Silver State-Now that a new
Legislature is about to convene, with
a comparatively new set of members,
we hope that some of them will take
time to see that the Humboldt river is
kept properly stocked with trout The
river has been neglected in the past
and allowed to go on from year to year
without restocking 1t with some suit
able fish that would be blessing to
the people that live along it's banks.
Some years ago somebody conceived
the idea that German carp would be
a me thing in the river and this pfov-
ed to be an abominatiOn and very
few people cared to take them nome
after catching them as they are moth
ing but mass Of bones and mushy
flesh, ranking with the sucker md
now even the carp are getting acsIse e
and it will only be a short time y ben
nothing but stray carp or club will
be caught.
This may seem a trivial matter with
some people but | believe hat it is
very essential to large part OF nr
population, who take great pleasure
in an outing on the banks oe this
beautiful stream. Let us have ore
fish put in the river and make the
stream an equal to the Trn Sea. whose
waters are restocked every year, maxi
ing it on of the best pleasure grounds
in the State.
The Assemblyman who will take
hold Of this matter and see that soms-
thing is done will confer a great fav-
or on the people and will be ;spp,e .ial-
ed by his constituents and the pro-
position will be looked upon as a. joy
forever.

How the Proposed Railway Con-
struction Work Will fleet
Nevada Town

The Battle Mountain Central Nevad-
an has long been known as one of the
best weekly papers In Nevada. 1t is
devoted to the upbuilding Of the Cen
tral portion of the State. Its editor,
Fl. r.. Lemaire is visitor to Win
nemucea today.
Mr.. Lemaire was interrogated by a
Silver State representative as to the
outlook for his town with respect to
the contemplated cutoff by the Sou
thern Pacific Company.
He replied that as yet the railroad
company has done practically nothing
III the matter, not even to secure a
right of way. but he believes that the
cutoff is inevitable and that Battle
Mountain will be separated by three
miles of cold weather from the prop5s-
ed track.
This will not annihilate the town,
for it will continue for some time to
be the terminus of the Nevada Central
railway company.
When the latter's tracks are extend
ed to the proposed main line Bate
Mountain will move to the new junct-
ion point without whimper.
The site of the future town will pro-
badly be at Piute. Many of the build
ings In Battle Mountain are so con-
stfucted that they can be moved with
out injury.
With the exception of La Grippe,
Battle Mountain is at present pursu-
ing the even tenor of its way without
et or hinderance.
