PROFIT

The matter of feed is OF
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his cows to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But howabout the childrenS
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped,
flesh and muscle food ii they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia1
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

Stockmen throughout the West, who

transportation from their homes and the
shipping centers will find this privilege
curtailed after January l, 1904. The Of

BATTLE MOUNTAIN.

In speaking of this town it says:
Battle Mountain is one Of the import
ant stations for the miner, as there are
many Hourishing camps within radius
OF dozen miles, mostly poor mems
camps, as they are called because they
do not require large investments TO mine
the ores and get them TO the custom
mills in Utah, California and Colorado.
The Nevada Central railroad runs near
ly hundred miles south and accommo.
dates the mines at Austin, lone, Kings
ton, Gold Park and many others.
The Central Nevadan. [volume] (Battle Mountain, Nev.) 1885-1907, 1903-09-17

are run in from the north and work
hard for fifty cents day as against
three and four dollars for the same work
in Western America. As population in
creases mines will multiply. Within
reach of every little ranch there are
ranges of hills, hardly one of which does
not contain one or more lodges. Here the
farmer and his sons could work all win
ter in a warm drift or tunnel, sorting
out the ore and piling up the best ready
TO haul to the mill in the Spring. Such
an occupation would provo far more
useful, pleasant and profitable than the
idle months OF the farmers boy through
out the older states where no such OPP
portunity exists.

A Great Future.
Nevada is truly on the upgrade and

Nevada is truly on the upgrade and a
few years hence people will behold one
of the most prosperous States in the
Union. The population will increase
rapidly, as the system Of irrigating ca
nails now under way will attract settlers
fromhl parts of the country. especially
from those States where the question
of water is uncertain. The work the
government has undertaken on the
Truckee river has opened the eyes OF the
people to what can be accomplished by
irrigating bitches and always in several
localities farmers are arranging to build
dams in various valleys to.save the water
which usually runs TO waste until it is
needed in the summer time. The certain
ty of an unfailing water supply means
that thousands of acres of land now idle
will be brought under cultivation. The
government reports show that great ac-
tivity in mining is going on, and as the
farmers can fed good market for their
products in the mining towns, the two
industries presage growth for Nevada
which will be beyond all expectations.

A FINAL WORD.

Nevada is not new country 10 fact,
but it is in its opportunities. 1t is not
crowded. The energetic man has free
scope. He has thousand chances to
win fortune by legitimate endeayor to
one in the more thickly settled States.
The advent of irrigation, too, offers busi-
ness openings of most attractive kind.
ln many localities land can be made
valuable at small cost, and cultivated
profitably or put on the market. There
is fascination in turning water upon
this land, it responds so magnifcently,
far outstripping its promise. 1t is like
the Salt Lake Valley in this; a desert in
appearance, irrigation made it an oasis,
a garden of beauty and fertility. 1t will
here. And the independence Ct the
farmers life; the sense of security; the
certainty of crops, is worth much. He
is his own providence, and moisture
vdes rain when he needs it, but where
he needs it. When his alfalfa needs the
food he turns it on: when his beet field
wants to store up sugar from the sun be
keeps it dry. And irrigation constantly
enriches his soil, as it did for centuries
in Egypt. 1t is the coming method; the
age of irrigation is here, and the man
who is in an arid State with water at
command is strictly 'in it. We dwell
upon the farmers side OF this question
because farmers make the State. Ne
vada's prosperity, il it is to be perma-
nent, must pe built around its farms.
The wealth of California, of Oregon, OF
Indiana and Iowa is built upon their ag-
riculture. 1t takes rural population
to make city, and "there is no country
on earth where men can find fruitful
soil and congenial climate where good
honest farming will not make a success
full and prosperous State Aud while
Nevada's mines are an immense store
house Of treasure, that generations may
not be able to exhaust, this stream OF
golden coin will always be passing into
the channels of trade, and the farmers
in return will always have. in the many
towns aud camps, and in the commercial
cities which grow up around the great
industry, ready aud profitable market.
Mining will increase ten fold in this
State in the next few years, but the
farmer comes first, and after him the
factory, the mill and the rival railroad.
There will be more owners of cattle,
more stoc1men, more beef fattened for
market: there will be sugar factories
and starch factories and creameries, but
the farmer will be back of all, and the
foundation for all. And it is our con-
viction that no State offers him richer
opportunities than be can find in Ne
vada to-day. A new Com stock is devel-
oping, and irrigation is opening new
era for the farmer the stoclsman and the
fruit raiser, and few years will see
new Nevada"

Stockmen and farmers in the
southwest are much interested
in the new law governing the
allotment of land in the Chicka-
saw Nation. This law took eff
feet Jan. /, and gives to each In
dian land to the value of 81 ,750.
Under the provisions Of the law
onefourth. of the land may be
sold each year after the allot-
mcnt. Although the ChickaSaws
have made some progress along
the line of agriculture, it is be-
lievcd that a large portion of the
tribe will convert their land into
cash as fast as possible, so that
within four years white men
will have possession OF the bulk
OF it. The average Indian takes
to work about as readily as a

A few of The above items arc
possibly a little bit low for many
sections Of the central West. The
item Of seed, for example, is ~
ceedingly low. OF course where
one raises his own seed the cost
of this is practically the same as
1t would be for corn that is fed
out TO farm animals. On the
other hand, i! iced Of good quail
ty IS purchased twenty-five cents
per acre would be d Reasonable
cost. The item of husking and
putting IN the crib is also low
when the present prices OF labor
are considered. Throughout ii
large area of the central West1t
has cost three cents per buShC}
to huSf ard crib cora this season.
The rent Of land is also some
what lower than the average over
the corr belt. as land rents all the
way from $3.50 to 81 per acre.
In some Cases where land is
rented on shares and the soil is
rented on shares and the soil is
good, the owner receives even
more than 81 per acre. Taking
it one year with another we think
that it will be found that it costs
about $40 to raise an acre Of corn.
However. it is not 80 much the
cost per acre that is of such vital
concern as the cost per buShel.
In this instance Secretary Co.
burn reckoEs. the average yield
at forty bushels per acre, thus
making the cost of raising Il
buShel of corn sixteen cents.
Were the yield sixty bushels per
acre the cost Of raising a bushel
would be 100 cents, while in the
case of an eighty bushel yield,
which is not unreasonable, the
co t would be eight cents based
on Secretary Coourn'S figures.
OF course a larger yield would
involve a greater outlay for husk-
ing, thus making the cost per
bushel a trihe more than the fig
ures given. SO far as we are
dDlF " ulliSf Slduu tnC SllIdtltIl,
there will never be a time when
an acre OF corr can be raised
more cheaply than at present.
BY this we do not mean that d
buShei of corn cannot be raised
mor cbcaply; indeed ii is in this
direction that farmers Of the corn
belt must practice economy.
This means the Use Of better
seed; it also implies taking better
care of roughage on the farm
and the manufacturing Of this
into farm yard manure, while it
MEANS utilizing the principles OF
rotation to the greatest possible
extent. Furthermore, good Gull
tivation is of supreme importance
because, Oh our high-priced land
we can no longer afford to pro-
duce a crop of weeds as we'll as a
crop o. corn each year. BY fol-
lowing along these lines we see
no reason why corn cannot be
