THERE IS HOPE FOR NEVADA.
Chance That with More Water and
Good Society the State VIII
He All Right.

There is only one state in the whole
state, too, that has not gone ahead in the
march of progress and improvement, but
has actually fallen behind. That state,
says the New York Sun, is Nevada, ad-
mitted into the union in 1864 with a
population at the time OF 10000, which
increased in 1870 to $4,000 and in 1880,
at the crest of the bonanza boom, to g.
900.
Since then the population of Nevada
has steadily declined 1t was $4,000 in
1890, and Nevada then held the position
of forty-ninth among the states and ter
ritories Of the country. Its population
in 1900 was AZ, 900, and it was fifty-second
and last--among the states and ter
ritories Of the country, following after
Hawaii, Arizona, Wyoming and even
Alaska
With an area of 10000 square miles,
Nevada is one OF the largest states in
area, but is the smallest in population.
The new irrigation law is said to give it
hope. Chief photographer Newell, of the
geological survey, predicts that Nevada
will have population of 500 900 people
within so years.
One of the states most serious draw
backs has been the selection by the state
of all the springs and water courses in
the national grant of 100000 acres for
school purposes and the sub-letting Of
them to cattle companies. For lack Of
water, migrating farmers have kept out
of Nevada.
Nevada has been the scene OF the first
work performed under the irrigation law
passed by congress last year. Work has
been begun on what is called the Tuckee
dam, and the first contract calls for an
expenditure Of 100000.
The question Of irrigation has become
the most important local question in
Nevada, and the statement is frequently
made that, with q greater supply and
distribution Of water, Nevada would be
all right-an assertion which recalls to
some persons the familiar saying that,
with more water and better society, a
certain other locality would be all right,
too.

WINTER POULTRY NOTES.

1nbreeding, as usually done, Is q
short cut to temporary success.
Irregular feeding often causes a do.
rangement Of the digestive organs.
AS variety Of food is very essen.
tial In securing eggs in winter, now is
the time to lay up full supply.
Usually 1t Is best to buy breeding
stock In the fall, as lower prices and
a better selection can be secured.
You may think the advertised poul.
try foods seem rather high priced, but
they will be found to give good enough
results to prove a good investment.
Poultry keeping is not easy work,
nor exceptionally nice, but we have
noticed that 1T brings in very neat,
looking dollars, If properly attended to.
1t Is some trouble, but in order to
preserve the health OF the fowls the
droppings should be taken from the
house daily or covered with dry
earth.
We get reports of shortage of
poultry from many sections of the
country. Those who have stock to
sell should be able to get good prices
this year.
Scatter newly-slaked lime in the
poultry quarters frequently, as 1t will
absorb moisture and aid to dry the
apartment, and In this way aid to pre-.
vent roup.
1t may be all right to let hens run
in the barn and all over the place, but
many eggs are lost by this plan.

FARM MEAT SUPPLY.
An Iowa Cooperation scheme which
should BE Given Careful Con-
alteration by All Readers.

In recent issue of Wallace's Farmer
Is described plan that some Iowa
farmers have adopted to supply them
selves with fresh meat without paying
tribute to the railroads, commission
merchants, packers, and SO forth. We
believe 1t Is plan that may be very
generally adopted by farmers to their
mutual advantage. It is called a beef
ring and consists generally of from 70
to 16 numbers. The preferable num-
ber Is 16, which supplies the animals
In regular order, one each week, the
order of the furnishing of the animals
being decided by lot. They appoint q
butcher, who need not be profession
al, and usually give him q per animal
for his services.
The cattle killed are usually long
yearlings or short two-year-olds, Dress
ing from 400 to 40 pounds The butch
er kills the animal in the evening "a
hours after 1t Is delivered by the farm
or, cuts 1t up In the morning, weighs
each share. and gives to each member
q boiling piece. a roast, and q piece of
steak each week, the different cuts be-
ing given in rotation, returning the
hide, head. heart and fat to the owner
OF the animal. -
The secretary values the animal &C.
cording TO quality. At the end Of the
year there Is settlement. II one man
has delivered 400 pounds of dressed
beef and received 425 pounds or 450
pounds he pays for the difference at
the price fxed for cattle of standard
quality. II man has furnished an
animal below standard and all the 9TH
ers are up to standard, he Is charged
the standard price for all except what
he has received from his own animal.
for which he pays the price received
for the animal, This is said to be a
common practice in some parts of Can
ada.
This is very sensible way of getting
ahead of the beef trust and we believe
that neighbors will do well to give It
careful consideration.

Russians Domestic DimcuIties.

The Russian government has to deal
with domestic difficulties, partly indus
trial and partly political, which are In
creasingly serious. There has been dis
order in all the industrial districts Of the
southern provinces, and in several in
stances mobs of striking workmen have
been dispersed with great difficulty by
the police and Cossacks, and with con-
siderable loss Of life. The rapidity with
which the labor movement has spread
and the violence of its manifestations
suggest an organizing political force;
and it is reported that these demonstra-
tions, as we'll as outbreaks of discomfort
among the peasants are the work of a
new revolutionary party, called the Rus
sian socialist party, which aims at the
overthrow by violent means of the ex-
isting autocracy.

Description of Pig Trouahs That VIII
Remain Clean for Week or
Two at Time.

When pig comes to trough for
feed or slop he generally comes in q
hurry, and is not content with plunging
his snout into 1t, but must thrust his
forefeet into 1t also. The mud and filth
is mixed with the feed or slop,
and is not conducive to the health of
the animal. 1t would be much better
IL this could be prevented, and the ami
NAL compelled to keep his dirty feet
out of his dish.
The pigs neck is short, and he
cannot reach very far, and, therefore,
his trough must neither be high, wide
nor deep, and 1t should be so placed
that the bottom is on level with his
feet. Some good forms of trougbs are

UNCLE SAM NOW WANTS
ALL SHARPSHOOTERS

FORT RILEY, Kan, Aug. ia
Uncle Sam wants the Americans to
become nation of marksmen The
old chap realizes that, in case of
war, victory does not go to the army
which has the courage to stand up
and be shot at. but the one which
shoots straightest.
Therefore, Uncle Sam has spent
$4,000 on a target range at Fort
Riley, including 90 targets. to be
known as the national target range.
Next, the government has proyid-
ed medals and cash prizes for the
crack shots with rife, carbine and
revolver, either soldier or civilian.
Three competitions have been ar
ranged, the division competition, the
army competition and the national
match
Division competition is now go
ing on. From the crack regiments
in the five divisions, teams are now
shooting. The 70 best marksmen in
each division will be selected to
shoot here August II for the honor
of a place on the army team. The
contest of those thus chosen will be
the army competition
The national match is set for Aug
ust %, when the army team will
meet teams from the navy, marine
corps and national guard of various
states for three days. Then will
come individual shooting. Gun clubs
Of any kind may compete in all the
contests except the army matches.
In the division and army con-
tests, the prizes are gold, silver and
bronze medals In the national
match, in addition to medals and
trophies, cash will be awarded. The
team making the highest score will
win the national trophy and $500;

will be of the bulls eye pattern.
During the skirmish runs stand
ing and kneeling targets will be
used. The new range, which is for
thousand yards, will have tele-
phone connection between butts and
the firing points when completed and
will be perfect in every detail.
Markers with discs will signal the
point of impact on the target which
will be recorded by scorers in rear

ers for different ranges. After each
