Developing the Rice industry.

Inc work of introducing new pIanEg

standpoint. The introduction of rice
from Japan few years ago Illus
trates this. Secretary Wilson in a
recent report said: In my last report
attention was called to the fact that

have dropping boards under the perch

improving the Land Through FEEDING

improving the Land Through Feeding.
On many of the European farms the
owners plan to feed their animals
rich food for the, purpose of Indirect
Iy benehting the land on which the
dropptngs are to go. Immense GUAM
titles OF cotton seed meal and linseed
cake are yearly fed to cattle and the
h1gh-priced land thus improved. What
is good thing for the European farm
ers should be a better thing for farm
ers on this side of the water, because
we are at the base of supplies. The
Europeans have to buy these rich
feeds very largely from the Unitei
States. They pay the cost of trans-
porting across the water and over
railroads, and for handling several
times, BESIDES the toll to the various
middlemen UNDER whose charge it
comes at various times. We should
take into consideration the y .nurial
value of the things we buy for our
cattle and other stock, with the OBJ
ject of obtaining manure as rich as
in fertility most needed on
the land

The English Buying American Cows.

The English Buying American Cove.
The agent of a large creamery es-
adjustment in England is in this
country purchasing cows to ship
home. He says that the English have
been for some time purchasing COWS
in the European countries, but espe-
c1ally in Holland. 1t has, however.
o'ien found difficult to secure enough
COWS OF the kind needed, and so he
has crossed the Atlantic for that pur-
pose. 1t is a pity that American dali
rymen ind it advisable to sell cows
to go across the water. We need in
this country all the best cows as
breeders. 1t may well be feared that
American dairymen will sell the best
they have in this line, as the English
will pay enough to make it an object
to do so. 1t is reported that cows
are very much higher in price in Eu-
rope than in this country, and that
is disturbing factor viewed from
the standpoint of the American dairy
industry. 1t is to be hoped that this
buying will not become popular with
Europeans, as it pays the American
far better to sell the products of our
dairy COWS than to sell the machines
that produce the dairy products.

Uniformity in Butter.

Uniformity in butter is one of the
most difficult things to be obtained.
yet 1t is one of the things that the
market demands. 1t is claimed that
the British market is even more ex-
acting In this regard than is our
own market. The foreigner demands
that he receive the same kind of but
ter each time, for he wants to know
that 1t is good, and how can he know
that 1t is good unless it be uniform :?
Moreover, the taste becomes educated
to certain product, and demands to
be catered to. The grocer that goes
into a commission house to purchase
a large lot of butter will take what
he knows to be uniform, and that
only. AS soon as he finds butter that
is not uniform he is afraid of it. 1t
requires uniformity to give conf
dence The butter makers on the
farm have to face the same condition
of things that is faced by the makers
of creamery butter, if they want to
sell their butter on the open market.
Uniformity can be attained only by
scientific methods, and these meth
DDS are within the reach of every per-
son that cares to make the effort to
have his butter product uniform.
Guesswork will need to be dropped
and exact measurements substituted.
Inc sale must be weighed into a
known weight of butter. The Their
mometer must be used both in the
ripening of the cream and at churning
time. The acid test must be under
stood and utilized. In fact, the per-
son that desires a uniform product
cannot afford to neglect any detail
Of operation to secure that uniformity.

THE WEEKLY COURIER.
Carson Letter !.

EDITOR COURIER: Ernest Beckert
Is an unsophisticated citizen of Vir-
ginia City, who has resided SO long on
the Constock that he had forgotten
how any part of the rest of the world
looks like. However, he took in the
Knights of Pythias meet in San Fran
cisco, and while in the city he thought
he would look at the Cliff House, the
Chutes and other attractions which he
had read about. When he reached the
Sutro road, he was whisked around
the corners pretty lively, and he unused
aloud: 81 suppose old Sutro thought
he built pretty crooked railroad when
he built this, but it is tangent COM
pared to the Virginia & Truckee, where
come from.p Finally, he was landed
at the Chutes, and he rested his eyes
on the Chutes railroad and the ''loop.u
"Now, there is something like it." he
exclaimed in admiration. ''Say, Mis-
ter, can you tell me where that road
goes to, and when the train will start?''
The voter should remember one thing
during this campaign, and that is that
whenever our Republican representa-
tives in Congress have received APP
plause and commentator for their
votes on any act before them, they
voted with the Democrats. Then why
elect Republicans, and then petition
them to desert their party and vote
with Democrats? Senators Jones and
Stewart deserted the Republican party,
and joined the Silver party, and re-
turned to Nevada, and were reelected
shands-down." With the exception
of Republican Office holders and office
seekers, their desertion of the Republi-
can party was approved by every man
in the state. In the very nature of the
case, no representative in Congress can
serve Nevada and uphold Republican
measures and policies, the interests of
both being antagonistic. There is not
q single Republican Senator or Con-
gresham, in full accord with his party,
who is popular in Nevada, and nearly
all the leading Democrats are idolized
here. This was the fact even when the
Republican party. was proclaiming it
self as the only dear and true friend OF
silver. 1t was the fact because it was
the Democrats who were voting for
silver, and the Republicans against it.
1t is yet the fact because it was Demo-
cratic votes that passed the irrigation
bill. True, Republican President
signed the bill, but he is out of joint
with his own party, and leading Re
pubiicans in the east will either apollo
gize for the President signing the bill,
or ignore the question.

the "Report of Irrigation lnvestiga-

four parts and deals with the measure
ments of the amount of water used on
farms in all of the western States and
Territories in which irrigation is prac-
ticed. The range of the Investigations
is so great that all kinds and conditions
of crops, soils, and climates have en-
tered into the study. The losses in
canals and bitches due to seepage and
evaporation are dwelt upon and rem
edies suggested. The problems of
water rights and ditch management
are also discussed in the bulletins. The
