enlisted in the army ana did duty on the
frontier, until ordered to Mexico.
While at Fort Laramie his regiment was

ed back. Although he took part in none
OF the battles OF the war, he did his
duty as a soldier faithfully and well.
Iu 1852, he %ionrneyed across the plains
to California, In 1850, he came to Me-
yada and settled near what was then
Fort Churchill. When tho White Pine
excitement broke out, he joined with
other hardy spirits in the rush to the
new ElDorado, In 1888. he settled in
Ruby valley, this county, and in 1856, he
removed to Mound valley, where no
has since resided.
On the 10th OF November 1861, mt
Dayton, Nevada, he married the wife
who now survives him, Six boys and
four girls, all grown to manhood and
~womanhood, survive him. Beside these
a brother at Joplin, Missouri, and sever.
al grand children mourn his loss.

HINTS FOR FARMERS



Recent experiments at the Iowa ex
pertinent station show that the cur
rent opinion of farmers that the butts
and tins of the ears should be reject
ed in selecting seed corn was correct.
In this test the result was a percent
age of termination of G2.0 for tips, 1873
for middlcs and 62.2 for butts. This
shows plainly a less degree Of vitality
IN the misshapen butt and tip kernels
than in the symmetrical and uniform
kernels from the middle of the ear. A
further continuation Of the test showed
a similar difference in early growth in
favor Of the kernels from the middle
Of the ear
The best way to select seed corn Is
in the ear. for the conformation of the
ear is as important as that Of the ker-
mel. Long, close fitting kernels are
wanted. SO also are ears well filled
at the ends and as nearly as possible
cylindrical in form, which gives lar
ger per cent Of normal sized kernels,
for as the taper increases the length
and size of the kernels decrease. Seeds.
men rarely ship seed corn long dis
tances in the ear, but when they do
they ship better corn than that which
is shelled. This advice, therefore, APP
plies to home selection Of seed rather
than to that shipped in from long dis
tances.
