A Word TO fhe Farmer.

To the general public and to the
farmers who care to interest them
selves in the production of broom
corn in this country. Farmers and
friends, believe this season will be
a good one for the man who wants
to raise broom corn, and as there
has been some inquiry about seed,
l have been corresponding with a
firm and they inform me. that they
can supply me with good grade of
Dwarf seed, well cleaned and they
also state that they will find mar
ket for the brush this fall. At pres
ent the price is SI.oo for the best
grade and IS cents for the lower
at Kansas City. In central Kan
sas where they raise it extensively
it is planted from the middle of
May until after wheat harvest. 1t
gives yield of one ton to three
acres and in the fall sells for from
$50 to SIS per ton or from SIS to
S25 per acre, then they have the
pasturage left. Any one wishing
seed will do well to see me and we
will make arrangements to supply
you. Yours respectfully.

Trouble Brewing.

+. o. Petty, U. :. Live Stock In
spector, was in town a few days this
week, having been looking after the
herds in Alpine county. He reports
fifteen bands of sheep in the Alpine
hills from the other side, besides ten
or twelve owned by parties in this
vicinity. As the area outside of the
Reservation is limited, the grazing is
exhausted, leaving no alternative for
the sheep men but to invade the for
hidden precincts of the reserve. A
mother problem confronting the de-
partment is the absence of sheep in
spector in that County. The SUPER
visors failed to appoint one as the law
requires, thus leaving the local bands
subject to infection from the foreign
ones, which are more or less. afflicted
with scab and should be dipped. This
condition of affairs is an injustice and
by some means should be remedied.

A Three Thousand Dollar Horse.

Several of the progressive ranchers
of this valley met last week and or
ganized the Shire Horse Breeding AS
ISOLATION. Its object will be to raise
the standard of the Carson valley
work horse. And it is evidently in
earnest, for its first act was the pur-
chase of a beautiful bay stallion,
Stuntney Rodger, at a cost of three
thousand dollars.
The horse was imported direct from
England, and is the most perfect
specimen of horsefesh ever seen in
this valley.
He will be kept at Hans Nelson's, in
stead of the Chas. Henningsen ranch
as it appears in the ad in anoher col
umn.

May Go to Wyoming.

Several of the Carson valley ranch
ers are contemplating the disposal OF
their property here and moving to
Green River, Wyoming. Agents are
there now looking over the situation.
We doubt if the move could be
termed good one. The seasons there
go to the extreme. The winters are
bitterly cold, while the summers are
excessively warm. Billiards in the
winter and hot nights during the sum-
mer months make it anything but an
ideal place to live.

Capital is Needed.

The finding of the rich ledge on the
Ben Martin claim in Pine Nut has
caused prospectors to again flock to
the hills. There can be no doubt that
the finding of the ledge demonstrates
that systematic prospecting is all that
is required to make the Pine Nut re-
gion one of the richest in the state.
The Martin claim is on a small hill
and at depth of 80 feet S63s ore
was encountered. Mr.. Martin in
formed the writer that the ledge VISA
II feet wide.
Eighty feet is not very deep for a
shaft, but after tramping over some
ten miles of territory and looking
at some few thousand location
notices, we have come to the con-
clusion that the shaft in question is
about seventy-five feet deeper than
nine-tenths of the so-called shafts in
Pine Nut.
East of the Martin claim the Long
fellow Mining Company have rock in
which the gold can be seen with the
naked eye. This company is going
ahead and properly developing its
property and we predict they will
strike it rich, if,they haven't already
done so. All Pine Nut needs to bring
it to the front is men with sufficient
capital to prosecute the work.
