For Commissioner.

Under the heading of political
Announcements" in another column
of this issue, will be found the card
of T. J. A. Flaws for long term
County Commissioner. Mr.. Flaws
sought the office of Commissioner
two years ago but was defeated by
the small margin of II votes. Many
people in this section have regretted
since that they did not vote for him
then, and will make amends at the
coming election. The Times can
say, after an acquaintance of over
twenty years with Mr.. Flaws, that
he is one of the most honorable and
upright business men that ever To-
Gated in Nevada. His record has
been one of live and let live, and the
instances of his kindness to those
who have found themselves in need
of temporary assistance have been
too numerous to mention. Should
he succeed in becoming one of the
Commissioners of Lyon county his
policy would undoubtedly be to con-
duct the affairs of the county on a
broad gauge plan, treating all with
the consideration that taxpayers
should have and bestowing no spec
ial privileges upon any certain
clique for the the purpose OF politi-
cal preferment. We believe Mr..
Flaws would make the best Com
missioner Lyon county has had for
years past. IT we did not so believe
we should so state.

Proposed COloalZatl0a.

Should the Hickey Land & Cattle
Company decide to colonize Ante
lope and Bridgeport Vallies, cutting
up its large holdings into small
farms, as there is rumor of its
doing, it will be a great thing for
the county. 1t would mean bring
ing into the county at least fifty
families. These would give en-
ployment to one or two men each.
The land would be cultivated and
made to produce to its full capacity,
business in all branches would be
increased and all would benefit by
the change.-Bridgeport Chronicle

offered &c. per pound for the honey

FEEDING FOR SWEET HAMS.
How an Illinois Farmer Produces
Pork That Is Sweet, Wholesome
and Healthful.

A northwestern gentleman visiting an
Illinois farmer who killed and cured his
own meat was so captured by the SUI
perior aroma and flavor of the ham
served at the farmers table that he was
led to inquire his method of feeding,
which was given as follows:
1.-THE ration is simple 1t consists Of
corn, either shelled or on the cob.
whichever is the most convenient, and
when conditions permit, the corn is al
ways soaked. In addition to the corn he
gave plentiful supply of swill. made by
adding 25 pounds of linseed cake (oil-
meal) to the barrel Of water"
He stated that he had fed hogs in this
way for rs years. They took on flesh
faster, were always healthy, and had
never had case of hog cholera. He
was surprised at the simplicity of
method and the cause of the excellence
the hog meat. II this method were
universally followed venison and fowl
would be discarded, and the meat of the
once despised hog would soon become a
delicacy more frequently seen on every
table in the land. It rs self-evident
that the reason for hog meat being un-
der the ban in oldan times was the fact
that hogs were scavengers by compul-
sion. Driven to eat the most repulsive
garbage to sustain life. their meat was
affected thereby, and their meat was no
doubt unclean.-Midland Farmer.

THE WISE CATTLE FEEDER.
He Will Study the Demands Of the
Markets and Conduct His BUSH
ness Accordingly.

Farmers who buy cattle feeders should
be well posted upon the market demands
and the best type of cattle to buy for feed
ers. or they should breed their own cat
tie on the farm of the high grade beet
type. Mr.. Allen Mansfield, Harris. Kan,
tells the Drovers' Telegram that there
will be great change in the cattle feed
Ing industry. which he is going to fol-
low and which he thinks will prove prof
table to the feeders who study the wants
OF the packers and consumers Of beef.
The cattle feeder who has been watching
the trade during the past few years has
discovered that the day of long feeding
Is past, and that the cattle feeding in
dustry has changed. am not an ad-
vocate Of short feeding such as the so
to 90-day feed, such as is now being
practiced by SO many feeders. for be-
lieve that the man who feeds that
length Of time simply loses his corn.
But this thing Of feeding cattle year
or more Is out of date. and is losing
game all the way through, no matter
what the market is.
A close observer can see that the high
grade steer that has been fed up sys-
tematically for six or seven months, and
which weighs about 1 $50 to 1,400 pounds,
is the class Of cattle that sell more
readily than the 1,700-pound steers that
have fed on feed year. The feeder
must study his line of business, and do
the work Systematically, too, as the hap
hazard feeder cannot expect good-re-
suits. The great trouble with most OF
the cattle coming to the market at the
present time is that they have been
warmed up and are not fit to be market
ed for butchering purposes, and they
are little too sappy to sell as feeders to
take back into the country. So in this
case the feeder lost his corn. This class
of steers ought to have been sold before
they were fed as stockers or feeders, or
finished up so they would bring price
that would make them more profitable.

WHEN THE HENS ARE SICK.
Simple Remedies When Applied at
the Right Time Usually Eff
feet Quick Cure.

II proper sanitary measures are
adopted, there are few illnesses in the
poultry yard that cannot be cured by
salt water and kerosene. To these
should be added an abundance of onions
for green food. For the Inflammation
of the air passages commonly known
as roup, dip the birds head in warm
salt water or In water with half-inch
of kerosene floating over the top
Kerosene can also be given internally
either in the drinking water or poured
over feed of grain, and Is one of the
most valuable remedies we have, but
its use will faint the carcass Of the
bird, and, II given to the entire flock
as a preventive of disease. the birds
destined for table or market in the next
three weeks should be removed.
Cholera Is one of the diseases we
hear of frequently as devastating a
flock, but breeders say that the real
cholera is rarely seen. the disease COM
monty called cholera being only severe
indigestion. With cholera the fowl has
a sleepy appearance, is very thirsty,
has slow, stalking walk. sometimes
staggers and falls down from weak
ness. The comb and wattles turn pale
or dark. There is diarrhoea with
greenish discharges, afterwards turn
ing thin and frothy. The crop fills
with mucous and wind, breathing be-
comes distressed, and the fowl dies.
The best cure is prevention by giving
the fowls more space and clean, dry
quarters with pure water and food.
Disinfect the premises where disease
has made its appearance. and again
give the grain soaked in kerosene, not
as cure, but as preventive, to de-
stroy the poison taken into the system.
Canker is disease which may have
found foothold in the flock before its
presence is suspected. This is found
about the corners of the mouth and in
the throat, sometimes accompanied
by running sores about the head with
a watery discharge of the eyes. We
have found birds so bad that they were
in the last gasp, and when treated
and the canker removed, would lie as
II dead, that recovered after a swabblng
of the throat with kerosene and lard,
followed by the application of vaseline,
and would appear none the worse. Pow
dered borax Is also good to use on the
spots after the removal of the ulcer

Room for the Litters.

A swine breeder says that In raising
pigs one should have house and a
separate lot for each SOW and her litter.
This may be demanding little too
much, but it may be that the best re-
suits can be attained only in this way.
II one cannot give separate lot to each
SOW, he can at least give a separate
house. Fortunately hog house need
not cost much. Some of our experiment
