Patents Hay Loader.

N. S. Wilson, Sheriff of Sutter
County, CAL. has just applied for q
patent for hay loader, the product of
his mind and years of experience as .
rancher. The machine works on the
principle of a header, except that the
horses work in front instead of behind
the machine. The wheels straddle the
windrows of hay and rake picks up
the hay. which, by system of belts
and drapers, is carried to one side and
dumped into wagon which is driven
along with the loader. The machine
enables rancher to take his hay from
the windrow to the stack and saves the
necessity of shocking and the help of
about six men.

adopted includes the following planks:
"We note with satisfaction the de-
termination of the National Admins

"We declare that the present laws for

DEMAND FOR STATE LAND.
Surveyor General Kelly Believes Ne

"We are still in the land business, {"
remarked General Kelly this morning,
as he glanced over his letters at the
news gatherer of the Carson News.
Here are applications from half a
dozen Eastern States. People are be-
ginning to find out that Nevada has

authorities, but are glad to peruse them.

population of the irrigable lands
are the right sort of pioneers for

HANCOCK CONVICTED OF MURDER
Found Guilty of Killing Two Men
on Desert in Lincoln County.

John M. Hancock ON trial at Phoebe,
Lincoln County. for the murder of DIR.
George Engelke. a veterinary surgeon
Of Los Angeles. Cal. and Peter Edmis-
ton of Ogden, Utah, has been found
guilty of murder in the first degree.
The case was heard before Judge
George s. Brown of Elko and jury.
The crime for which Hancock was
convicted was committed in 1897 and
the mystery of the murder was un-
raveled only by the confession Of his
paramour, Mrs. Meyer. who appeared
against him in his trial.
At the time of the murder DIR. Eug.
elke and Edmiston were in search Of a
lost mine on the Nevada desert. At
Pahrump ranch they fell in with Han
cock, who was accompanied by Mrs.
Meyer, supposed to be his wife. and the
latter's young son. who were driving
from Perris, CAL, to Salt Lake. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Meyers confession,
Hancock told her he intended to kill the
doctor and his companion for their
valuables, and that few days later he
carried out his threat. Hancock shot
both men through the head while they
were sleeping and buried their bodies.
He and the woman then continued on
to Salt Lake, where they lived together
for about two years. when they broke
up.
Afterwards Hancock was convicted
of burglary in California and sentenced
to ten years. While he was in State
Prison Mrs. Meyer made her confession
to the Nevada authorities. His sem
tence expired on June l and just as he
was leaving San Quentin he was ar
rested for the murder of the men by
Sheriff Jacob Johnston of Lincoln
County, and brought to Phoebe for
trial.

COLLAPSE OF A MINING CAMP.
Mackay, Idaho, After Meteoric Ca
reer, Is Abandoned.

One month ago everything looked
rosy for the White Knob Copper Com
pany ut Mackay. Idaho. To-day the
reverse Is true and mines and camp will
soon be abandoned. The White Knob
copper proposition was looked upon five
years ago as one Of the greatest copper
propositions in the West. and more
than $1,000. 600 has been expended in
its development. to say nothing of the 80
miles of railroad that were built by the
Oregon Short Line from Blackfoot to
the place. Now, as the result Of the
report Of the engineers and experts who
were recently commits stoned to examine
into and make a detailed report ON the
property, the company has decided to
close down the mines, sell of the ma
chinery aud equipment and go out Of
busines.
The company's headquarters house,
erected and furnished at cost of $20.-
600, has been sold at the low price Of
$1,000. Other buildings have been dis
posed of at similar sacrifices. A $50, 900
ranch sold for $4,000. and the same ratio
prevails generally. The immense
smelter. costing thousands. will be dis.
mantled and moved to California. Peo-
pie are getting out as rapidly as they
can. but the majority were altogether
unprepared for the blow that was
struck.

FREQUENT SPRAYlNCS.
Advice fer the Orchardist Which
Should Be Followed as He Begins
the Fighting of Insect Pests.

The novice in spraying cannot afford
to be so careless about his sprayings
that he will miss the end for which he
is working Neither should he try to
get along with the fewest possible num-
Der of sprayings. The best sprayers
have indeed reduced the number to the
minimum, but they are experienced
men that have learned to make every
spraying count for the most possible.
In many cases it has been found that
so far as the orchard is concerned, four
sprayings in spring give the greatest re-
turns. while spraying every two weeks
from the middle Of April to the middle of
August give the greatest proportion of
perfect fruit, says the Farmers Review.
The additional sprayings cost more than
the additional fruit is worth, as a gen.
eral thing.
Taking all things into consideration,
the method that will pay the best con-
sists in spraying the trees as soon as the
blossoms fall and then every two weeks
till four sprayings have been given. The
sprayings must be well done if they are
to be of any value Slipshod work will
not prove effective in preventing the
ravages Of insect and fungous pests.
Leaving the work to the boys is never
profitable. 1t requires mature judgment
and thoroughness to do the work as it
should be done.

POINTS on PASTRY.
This American Delicacy Not Easily
Made and Requires Attention Be
Paid to Certain Fixed Rules.

In making pastry there are several
points to be attended to, apart from
the actual making of it. Be careful
that everything you use is particularly
clean and dry. | need not say now
clean your hands and nails should be.
All the utensils used should be per-
fectly free from dust and dirt, and The
things required for pastry kept ehtira'
| ly for that purpose
Make pastry IN a cool atmosphere
and on a cool surface. A marble slab
is better than board for the purpose.
| Mix your paste lightly with the tips
of your fingers, and not the palms Of
your hands. Also make it quickly.
The less you handle it and the quicker
you make it the better it will be.
The -four should be of the best quail
ity and perfectly dry; if in the least
damp the paste made from it will c2r-
tainly be heavy.
The proportion Of fat to flour may
vary from half its weight to equal
weight; if less than half the weight
be used, baking powder must be added,
Eut SuSu udSliy Soou UcCo1lleo As1i ~
and must be eaten on the first, day,
preferably before it has cooled.
The quantity of water depends on
the quality of the flour, but beware
Of making pastry too moist, for it will
assuredly be heavy.
If baking powder be used, get the
pastry into the oven as quickly as
possible, but with a liberal supply OF
fat it improves with being set aside
for an hour or SO.
In pastry making the quality to be
desired is lightness, and this depends
on the amount Of air in the paste be-
fore and the expansion of the air after
it is put in the oven. The best pastry
is that which contains the greatest
quantity Of the coolest air before it is
baked
Always pass the flour through the
sieve to get air into it, and always
| use iced or very cold water in mixing.
Pastry should be rolled lightly; it
should not be turned over, or thrown
| about, and the rolling pin should often
be lifted.
The difference between flaky pastry
and short pastry is that in one there
are thin layers Of air and pastry alter
mating, and in the other the air fills
| small cavities all over the pastry.
Eggs are used TO increase the tenac-
| ity of the paste, and so hold more air.
Take care that the oven is hot, or
your pastry will spoil, however nicely
you may have made it. When baking
also take care that your pastry does
not burn and when you take it out Of
| the oven allow it to cool in the
kitchen If you were to lat it in a cold
place while the steam is coming from
| it. the cold would suddenly condense
the steam, and make the paste heavy.

Dairy Facts.

Indiana has a little over 100 cream
cries
Minnesota has little over 500 cream
cries.
The importation of Australasiaa but
ter into England doubled last year
over the former year.
Little profit should be expected from
COWS kept in uncomfortable quarters
and fed on unbalanced rations.
The few COWS on every farm are the
ones that produce the vast amount sof
butter and milk used by the American
people.
The average COW under the average
conditions is money loser, She does
a little better under the best of con-
ditions.
The amount of butter manufactured
In Minnesota last year increased about
5000. GOO pounds over the amount made
the preceding year.
The dairyman should be more exact
ing as to the quality of the COWS be

Pick out every calf that promises to
make a good dairy COW and raise her
Such calves are worth more to the dairy
than they are for veal.

ROAD REPAIRING.
How the Road Problem Has Been
Solved Successfully in One Coun-
ty in Indiana

There is a vast amount OF money spent
each year in maintaining the roads of
the country This money is too often
spent with small consideration OF the
important question of how to get the
most for the outlay. The time is sure to
come when there will be wiser plan for
disbursing the millions that are SO free
ly given by the people to improve their
roadWays.
10 a certain county in Indiana the
people were agreeably surprised at the
outcome of an experiment, or rather an
innovation. writes c. NJ. Ginther. in
Farm and Fireside 1t had always been
the custom in the township to elect
farmers to the Office OF road director, or
supervisor. Notwithstanding there
was an abundance of excellent gravel
close at hand the roads were in bad con-
dition. SO bad had they become that
number of places were actually impassa-
bic at time when such a condition
should not in any reason have prevailed
How the idea started is not known, but
the word was passed around that a
change was desired in the kind of man to
be voted for Farmers had always held
the office, but the idea was presented
that it would be fair to consider a men,
Der of some other class or profession as

EXPERIMENT IN FORESTRY.
How Kentucky Tinber1and Owner
Has Culled Again and Again and
Still Has Timber to Sell

An interesting example Of the profit
ableness of conservative forest manage
meDt in this country is furnished by DR..
S. B. Caldwell, Of Paducah, KY, who
has dealt in timberlands in the south
western part of the state for So
years: In 1847," says Dr. Caldwell, Il
sold timber from tract of land at one
dollar an acre, the purchaser having the
privilege of removing what he wanted
and leaving what he did not want. He
took the choice trees, but left a consider
able amount standing, In 1870 l sClo
the timber from the same tract and got
for it two dollars tree. The purchaser
removed an average OF three trees per
acre. In 1884 | sold the timber from the
same tract for the third time. and got for
it as much as | had received at the sec.
ond sale
DR.. Caldwell's experience in the woods
taught him long ago the wisdom Of con-
servatlVe forest management. Thirty
years ago when he came into possession
Of a tract Of about 100 acres near Pa
ducah. he sold a quantity of the timber
for wagon stock. At that time forestry
in this country was virtually unknown.
Dr.. Caldwell, however. was sufficiently
foresighted to allow no trees to be cut
except those which he selected. He went
about in the woods and picked out trees
whose tops ard general appearance
showed they had passed their period OF
greatest vigor. and trees which inter
fered with promising young growth.
His forest has been culled a number OF
times in the past 80 years, but so wisely
has the cutting been done that to-day the
land will average from 10000 to $4,000
board feet per acre This was an expert
ment in forestry which has amply justi-
fed itself. and shows how shrewd,
far-sighted man may, even without tech
nical advice, secure good returns from
his woodland without impairing its pro-
ductive value and while putting himself
in position to profit by the steady rise
which is taking place in timber values
