FARMS AND LIVESTOCK.
Nevada Census Figures From Bulletin Just
Issued.

Census bulletin No. 1877, on Agriculture
in Nevada, has just been issued by the
Census Bureau. The following extracts
from the bulletin are of interest:
The total land area of Nevada is 109
7f0 square miles, or TO- 233 600 acres, of
which 2565,647 acres, or 81 per cent are
included in farms.
The farms Of Nevada, June /, 1900, num-
bered 21Si, and were valued at $751; 7l0.
on the same date the value of farm inn
plements and machinery was $SSS,56O, and
that of livestock $l2,1695e5. These val
ues added to that of farms, gives s2S,673
S35, the total value of farm property.
The total value of animal products to-
gether with the value of all crops is term
ed total value of farm products This
value for 1899 was Sc, 75S, ,337, of which
amount s3,S70.76S or 5.3 per cent repre-
sents the value of animal products, and
$2,SS7, $50, or 42.7 per cent, the value of
crops, including forest products cut or
produced on farms. The total value of
farm products for 1899 exceeds that for
1889 by $4,O52,677, or 1898 per cent.
over half the wheat harvested in the
State in 1899 was grown in Humboldt
county. In that county 10,435 acres are
devoted TO cereals with production val
ne of $142, 159. over half the barley grown
in the State was produced in Douglas and
Humboldt counties, while Elko and Doug
las yielded almost three-fourths of the
oats. Most of the rye was grown in
White Pine county, and nearly all the
corn in Lincoln and Nye counties.
The number of fruit trees in the State
more than trebled In the last decade, in
creasing from 33.543 to 117,104.
The principal rivers, the Humboldt.
Carson, Truckee and Walker, flow into
lakes which have no outlets, and there
are many smaller streams which flow for
few miles and then disappear. Many
OF the small lakes evaporate during the
summer. Throughout the State there is
an abundance of springs many of which
are alkaline.
The atmosphere of the State is very
dry-the mean annual rainfall being only
S.25 inches.
The soil In the valleys is very rich and
needs only irrigation to render II highly
productive. The pursuit of agriculture
proper is, however more or less subor-
dinated in Nevada to stock raising. the
relative Importance of the livestock in
drstry Of the State being shown by the
fact that the animal products, together
with the hay and forage and other pro-
ducts fed 10 livestock comprises 500 per
cent of the total value of farm products.

Texas Irrigation Experiment.

The benefits of irrigation along inc
Colorado river were tested recently by a
thoughtful farmer near Austin. Texas.
who has ranch on the river and irri-
gated a small part of It two years ago.
The story Is doubly interesting because
of a new point brought out. one in addi-
tion to the fine crops resulting from
plenty OF moisture.
This gentleman had a pumping outfit,
and while the Colorado was on one of its
heavy rises, he put great deal of the
excessively muddy water on his land. 1t
being nearer the top of the banks. and
costing less to lift the water, than when
the river was low or normal The timely
wetting did a graf deal OF good and the
small patch covered yielded in abundance.
but II has since been discovered that the
sediment In the muddy water is "the best
fertilizer In the world as he expressed
it,
II seems simple after the way Is once
pointed out. and as the finest valley
farms are the soil from the accumula-
tions OF the rises or silt formed, 1t is no
wonder that the muddy waters make a
fine fertilizer.

Grammar and the Lords Prayer.

A party of gentlemen were discussing
literaray subjects when one asked an
other to point out the grammatical blum
der in the Lords lrayer, says an ex-
Change. Half dozen tried; some thought
il lay in the words. (which art In hea-
ven;" others elsewhere, but no one de-
tected it in the expression For thine is
the kingdom, the power and the glory
TO be perfectly correct the word rs
should be are but people have used 1t
in the present form so long that they
never think of regarding 1t as a blunder.
There are teachers who will say such
an expression is right because IT sounds
right but reverse 1t and say THE king
dom, the-power and the glory is thine, :
and the fault Is soon perceived.

MINES AND MINING.

The Reno Gazette reports a sensa-
tional strike of free milling gold ore on
Donnelly mountain, in the extreme north
ern part of Washoe county.
Reports from Tonopah are to the effect
that another strike has been made in the
Fraction mine, the ore body being larger
and richer than anything yet uncovered.
Times are improving in Como and Pal
myra districts, and it is probable that 100
men will be employed there before the
summer is over. The Paramore brothers
have four feet of rich ore in their claim.
and the capitalists who own the Como
Eureka mine are hauling lumber to their
property preparatory to starting up Cap
italists are inspecting the Paramore
claim The North Rapidan company has
purchased a small mill and will erect
II at their mine. Eastern capitalists are
watching this district closely.-virginia
Enterprise.
The announcement that the Tonopah
Mining Company is about to start milling
is on a par with the majority of the So
called mining news which finds its way
into the press by the present system of
garbled reports. contradiction following
assertions of fact with startling regular
ity. In the first place the company has
not yet decided what system it will be
best to adopt, looking toward economical
working of the ores. 1t may be that
smelling will be considered the most
practical method. and If SO, way may
be found to connect the district with the
smelters at Eureka, where everything in
the way of appropriate fuxing is on hand.
This would appear to be the best plan II
the difficulties of transportation can be
tided over at the cost of moving the ores
elsewhere. In the meantime 1t can be
said authoritatively that the manage
ment of this company has not decided
definitely upon any plan of action.-San
