serted their old battle-ground
and located in the far West.
About fifty strong they have
bought land near Chehalis,
Washington, where they will
settle. 1t is nearly half a CEN
tury since the feud began be-
tween these two families. Ever
since then the trouble has been
more or less of a terror in the
mountain border land of Ken
lucky and West Virginia, scores
of lives having been wiped out
on each side. For some time
there has been comparative
peace. The present exodus is
due to the influence of friends
who have already colonized in
the Northwest.

Nevada and IRRIGATION.

r. II. Newell, chief hydrogra-
pher Of the Geological Survey,
who is in charge of the irriga-
ton work undertaken in Neva.
da, states that within twenty
five years Nevada will have a
population of 100000 people.
lnasmuch as the State has at
present less than 40, 900 inhabi-
tants, the expert on irrigation
predicts wonderful development
for the State.
Nevada is rich in resources, but
handicapped by bad laws and
poor management, which have
retarded her development. When
the State was admitted to the
Union it was permitted to select
its two million acres of school
lands instead of being limited to
particular sections under the
general law. The lands selected
contained the springs and water
courses of the State, and these
were virtually turned over to
the great cattle companies. Set
tiers going into Nevada found
rich land, but no available water
for irrigation, although water
was there if properly distributed,
sufficient for all the States needs.
The result was that the settler
was forced to move on, and Ne
vada, the richest in resources of
the inter-mountain States, has
made no perceptible advance
ment in twenty-five years.
Now, however, it is evident
that a new erea is to open up
for the battle-born State. Mr..
Newell bases his predictions upon
the practicability of the system
of irrigation for Nevada at pres
ent in course of construction,
which completed will place
thousands of acres of the most
fertile land in the State under
profitable cultivation.
1t is remarkable that the appar-
emily barren sagebrush plains of
Nevada are in reality most pro-
ductive, when the one thing nee
essary to make them fertile,
water, is brought to them.
Wherever the experiment has
been tried the most satisfactory
results have been obtained, and
none who know the character of
Nevada soils, and realizes the
thoroughness of the system of
irrigation which the government
has undertaken, doubts the
soundness of Mr.. Newell's pre-
diction.-Sac. Union.

viii Eucalyptus Thrive Ia Nevada ?

In its native home the eucalyp-
tus tree reaches a size cores
ponding with that of the red
wood of California. 1t belongs
to Tasmania, in the Australian
group, where it attains a height
of 800 feet and a circumference
of so feet. The rapidity of its
growth is exceptional; in ten
years, from a mere twig, 1t
reaches 60 feet in the air, with a
girth of from 6 to 9 feet. The
wood is exceedingly hard but
easily worked and has no supe-
rior as a fuel. 1t grows remark
ably dense, an acre of eucalyp-
tus producing more wood than
anv other tree known. 1t has
shown its adaptability to those
parts of California where it has
been planted, and has thrived
with vigor. Many years ago,
when the cost of transporting
coal into the southern part OF
that State was quite expensive,
the growing of eucalyptus for
fuel purposes was a profitable
undertaking.
Wood is a serious question in
the economy of parts of Nevada

Scrub Stock.

The scrub bovine is the first
cousin to the cur dog, which no
one wants and which everyone
takes a kick at, says c. E. How
ard in Rural Press. The longer
you keep him the poorer you
get. 1t will not be many years
before the scrub of the bovine
species will be regarded in the
same light as the cur dog; and
the quicker this takes place the
better off the farmer and the
country at large will be. He is
the product many times of igno-
rance, sometimes of carelessness
or accident, and often of en-
vironment. Many scrubs are
produced by the effort of the
farmers to com bine the desirable
qualities of two widely different
breeds by crossing. and then,
not finding themselves successful,
make bad matters worse by put
ting in a dash of something else.
This man is following a method
akin to the one who invests his
savings in a "get-rich-quick"
scheme. There are no short cuts
in successful breeding, and the
man who starts out to produce,
by crossing, something better
than his neighbors or anyone
else has, will find that he is a
good deal in the same box as the
beleaguered traveller hunting for
the oasis which he sees Just
ahead of him but never reaches.

The area of the public domain
is being reduced at an alarming
rapidity, and unless Congress
soon repeals the iniquitous land
laws which have enabled land
grabbers and spectators to ac-
quire immense tracts, it will not
take many years until the words
"public lands" are wiped off the
map, and then the poor mans
opportunity to secure home on
the land will be forever gone.
There is one way, and only one,
to stop the abuses to which our
present land laws are subject.
and that is to repeal the provis-
ions which have made possible
and encouraged the perversion
of their original purpose. Tin
kering with the laws by means
of amendments will only lead to
confusion and fail to accomplish
the desired reform. Now that
the Federal government has
commenced the work of reclaim
alton, it is doubly importsnt
that the arid lands should be
preserved for the people who
will populate the West, build
new agricultural communities
and towns, and add to the
wealth of the nation.-Max-
wells Talisnan.

Ailments of Horses.

A disease that ends In a queer
growth ON the very poll or top of the
head of the horse is called ''poll evil"
The trouble is quickly observed owing
to the habit of the horse in stretching
his neck straight out in front and
makes a pitiable spectacle Of the pa
tent. There is little left to do for the
poor creature except to put it out Of its
misery.
A common blemish is the curb, a
rounding Of the bone of the hind leg
Just below the back point of the hook.
This formation does not injure the
seryiceableness of the driver apprecia-
bly,. If patiently rubbed when it first
appears, the curb can be reduced, the
bone absorbing the growth If not too
prominent.
A wind broken horse is one that has
been permanently injured in breathing

extreme cases any one can hear the

A writer In an exchange says: IN
order to cure horse of the habit OF
Kicking In the stall would recon-
mend the following method: To one
end of q piece of small rope tie bag
IF hay or straw; fasten the other end
pf the rope above so that the bag of
straw will just reach his heels; now
tie piece of rope to the bag and hold
1t in your hand and stand about ten
feet away from the horse; now allow
the bag to bump his heels. The horse
will kick the bag until he has discov-
cred that it will not hurt him. This
treatment will usually cure horse of
habit of kicking" Or to break a
bad habit in horse teach him the
habit. In the case of kicking hang
something at his heels to cause him to
kick. Encourage him to kick by stick
ing the object against his heels. This
treatment will never cure a horse of
the habit of kicking. We would not
