Observe Thanksgiving.

@ The people of Nevada in retrospect
sof the year 1902 have, by such review,
abundant cause to rejoice for plenitude
'of happiness and prosperity. not by
&heason of the handwork of men alone,
zor from any source other than God IS
fayors bestowed Sunshine, moisture
Rnd favorable climatic conditions have,
nv the intelligent effort of industry,
brought forth abundant returns to the
farmer.
n Natures storehouse of mineral treas
hres incased in the mountains of our
State has been invaded to meet the
demands of civilization, resulting in
enlarged benefits and profits to our
#peopln.
The enjoyment of contentment and
feeling Of security from pestilence or
danger has prevailed through the pro-
Evidence of God.
President Washington on the Sd day
of October, A. d., 1889, by thanksgiv-
ing proclamation, gave utterance as
follows:
"Whereas, it is the duty of all ma
tions to acknowledge the providence
of Almighty God, to obey his will, to
be grateful for His benefits, and hum
bly, to implore His protection and
favor"
Other Presidents, including our pres
ent Chief Magistrate, have followed
the illustrious example.
u Therefore, in Difference to the long
established custom of our fathers,
earnestly recommend that Thursday
i the 9th day of November, be observed
by the people of Nevada by uniting in
sentiment with the people of other
States and with thankful hearts, do
homage 10 the Supreme Ruler of the
Universe, in return for innumerable
blessings received by Nation and State.
Upon the day named let those who
have enough and to spare give SYM
pathetic aid to the poor, SO that all
may realize the pleasure unrestrained
by poverty and want.
In witness whereof, | have hereunto
set my hand and caused the Great Seal

day of Novem ber, 1902.

What Alfalfa Will Do.

A grower of alfalfa, who has been in
the busines for twenty years sums up
the merits of this plant as follows:
First, it's feeding value in the form of
hay is far superior to that of any other
and nearly equal to corn pound for
pound; second, it's yield per acre is
much larger than any other tame
grass; third, it combines excellent pas
tronage with it's value as hay; fourth,
it is one of the best fertilizers of the
soil; fifth, once established In the soil
it will last indefinitely; sixth, ton of
well cured alfalfa hay contains almost
as much protein as ton of wheat bran
and is worth for feeding almost as
much. These facts ought to set men
to thinking and experimenting

large streams are encountered. they are
dug out if need be. to carry OF the wa

large. the state engineer builds Il bridge
with iron girderS and carries the road
over them. If a more costly structure

grade is five feet 10 the hundred.

layer of broken stone three inches

thrown over this surface from the sides

The road is then thoroughly wet down,

appearance Of a lathcr in front of the

Carrots as Horse Feed,

IT will take seven or eight pounds OF
carrots TO equal Il pound Of cornmeal in
feeding value. 1t will be found impos-
sible To substitute carrots for grain
with hard worked horses. because car
rots contain far too great an excess Of
water. In hundred pounds Of carrots
there are nearly ninety pounds OF wa
ter. Three or four pounds Of carrots
daily for 4 hard worked horse and
eight or ten for light worked horse
may be used with advantage. as they
are greatly relished by this animal and
are succulent and wholesome. The ex-
cessive use Of carrots will tend to make
the flesh Of horses soft, which leads to
undue sweating during hard work and
warm weather. Giant or mammoth
carrots are not good horse feed. While
the roots are very large, they are ex-
cessively loaded with water and are
not palatable.
