The Orchard a Necessity.

An orchard is a necessity on the
farm. 1t Is well known that a farm
containing an orchard will sell at a
fair price, when farms with no or
chards are sacrificed. The buyer al
ways looks for the greatest number of
advantages, and If apples. peaches,
pears, plums and the small fruits can
be found, instead of only an apple or
chard. the value of the farm will be
increased much more than the original
cost of the orchard. If the farm Is not
for sale the orchard will be source OF
profit to the farmer.

Profit Comes Slowly.

The profit from farming comes In
slowly, and several years may elapse
before the farmer is aware that his
farm pays. This is due to the fact
that fertility in the soil is cumulative,
the results Of the first year being but
little apparently, though every year
thereafter the farm will increase in
productive capacity. The system of
farming practiced will also influence
the future of the farm. Where stock is
a speciality the results are nearly al
ways excellent, and rotation of crops
aids in giving a profit, but the largest
gain Is when the farmer uses fertilizers
literally and gives his attention to the
preservation of the manure produced
on the farm.

Farm Notes.

When farmers are busy in the
spring they are liable to neglect many
matters which deserve their attention.
Now is the opportunity for getting the
indictments in order and sharpening
the tools. The grindstone is a valuable
adjunct to good farming IL thorough
work is desired.
The free use of lime In the autumn,
especially under fruit trees, will ma
terially assist in destroying fungi. Use
air-slaked lime and apply it freely. 1t
is not as efficacious as some of the
spraving mixtures, but is beneficial to
a certain extent at this season. Some
soils require lime, and it will prove as
valuable under trees as on land intend
ed for regular crops.
Irish potatoes in the cellar should be
covered with carpet and boards. Light
and air spoil their eating qualities
Sweet potatoes are handy to have
around during the winter and spring
months, but they will not keep during
the winter in the cellar. They mus
be kept in a room where there is fire
enough to keep out dampness, ant
where there is no danger of freezing
Some farmers prefer to save theh
seed potatoes, but before doing 81
there are precautions to be taken. Thu
slightest indications of disease on Pc
tatoes should cause their rejection, a
the crop of next year will be diseased
from such seed. Every bushel Of seeC
potatoes should be carefully examined
and examinations of the potatoes in tn
bins should also be made during tn
winter.

Summer Cooking.

The house wife is badly worried
during the summer months as the
house heats up with a hot stove, and
heavy fires that it takes to run the
ranges. A number of wives have
grown wise and added gas stoves to
their household arrangements. The
fact is that they are not overheating
themselves nor the house.
The Carson gas company has placed
low rate of consumption for cooking
purposes, and the same time wood sha
advanced, so in the end it is cheaper
to use gas for summer cooking than
wood. The gas fire is the easiest to
manage of any that is used. It is alb
solutely clean, and is adaptable where
ever there is gas in the home or in
reach. The home company is trying
to interest home people in the use of
q home produce and all who are fortu-
nate enough to have the conferences
in the house are recommending it. Peo-
pie who have economy in view and
comfort as well, should consult the gas
man and they will soon be convinced
that time. money and many hot
blast will be saved by the introduction
Of gas into the kitchen.

Headed for He'll Hole.

The latest reports from the scene of
the Folsom prison break seems to
point to the fact that the convicts are
headed for the He'll Hole country,
which is one of the widest countries
in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The
route that the men have taken points
to this direction and should they once
reach this country all the militia in
California would find it difficult to
drive the desperate men out. For
years hunters have travelled this Sec
ton and all agree that it offers the
best protection for fugatives, of any
locality known. One thing that leads
to the belief that the men have gone
into that section named is that Davis,
one OF the convicts, was raised near
there and is said to know every foot
OF the land. Should he pilot them into
this rugged gorge and brushy land
there is little chance for men to run
them out
Another item that is in favor Of the
convicts is that a great many sheep
are ranged in the He'll Hole country.
while few cattle ore driven in. This
will give the desperate men all the
meat that is desired as they would
hardly hesitate to. hold up a sheep
man and take what meat they need
Providing the convicts reach this
, rough land it will take the winter
storms to drive them out Hardly
any man would venture in to the can
yon or the flats to. hunt a desperate
man, as the man that is being hunted
has all the advantage In a number
of places it would not be impossible
for few men to hold whole regi-
ment of men at bay, while on every
side avenues of escape are offered. If
this neck of the woods has been reach
ed there will be little chance of effect
ing capture before the snow flies.

MoNTAMA's COPPER KING.
Graphic Description Of the Great Miner

little interesting sketch of MOntana'e
copper king: ~ssg- nsr@ -

worth over $2OO.OO0,OO and his in
come from the Butte copper mines is
about $4,000 a day He is small in
stature and commonplace in appear
ance. In a restaurant you would never
take a second look at him. Personally
his wants are few. Life to him is a
game of checkers. power is his play
thing, and now at sixty-four all his
men are in the king row. And the only
reason I think why he should want the
Senatorship is because there are PEG.
pie who did not want him to have it.
Nov, that he has gotten it, if he could
get rid Of it gracefully he would.
CLARK has two sons, one of them is

the son Of his father. This boy is rich
in his own name and is quietly getting
richer. He has recently opposed his
father politically and on several occa-
sions denounced him on the stump
Recently this son of Clark organized
a mining company, saited the mine
and offered the property to the Senator
for the modest sum OF 100000. The
old man sent his experts to report;
this son of his parent bribed the ex
perts for $4,000 a piece and the old
man bought the property.
Il asked the Senator about this story
and he would neither deny nor affirm
the truth of it. l brought that boy up
well, gave him good education, and
loaned him 100000 to go into business
on, and see how he has treated me-!

here in 1865 from Pennsylvania a pen
niless youth. His slight build and
quiet courage fitted him for dispatch
rider and mail carrier between mill
tary posts. The work was extra haz-
ardous in this Indian country, and the
pay was in proportion. Where other
men got $50 month, young Clark got
$500 and saved it all. Later he went
to mining and having little money
ahead he managed to hire men to dc
the hard work. On these very hills
of Butte he hired men to work the
windlasses and he stood by to take
care of the ore as it came back. He
has succeeded by natural means

Has anyone figured the amount Of

Ever since the first Tonopah mine waa
incorporated this city has continued

result is that good many people are

many dollars have gone glimmering

where one dollar has been made q

once owned. On the other hand when
there was chance for this city to own
a flour mill. the people failed to con.
tribute and the industry passed to
another city. This is only one ex
ample of the lack of thrift. Had this
