ALEX. EAsoN.


Mrs. Smelser's son-in-law, ]. A. Comes
of Golconda, and Henry Smelser have
quite a promising galena mine in Cherry
Creek canyon. six miles south of the
smelser ranch. They have just made
shipment of a ton of the ore to the Sci by
Smelling Works at San Francisco and
the returns are as good as they hope for
much work will be done on the property.
Mr.. Eason has also made a recent dis
covery OF a god prospect four miles
northeast that shows the color in pan
and Mr. Eason is in hopes he will soon
have the world where he wants it. He
may and may not be disappointed, but IL
disappointment falls to his lot he will not
be the first prospector who has found it
so in the past and others probably viii
in the future, so long as time shall last.
About o clock our troubles began afresn,
for we pulled out of Smelser's yard and
took wrong road. After driving
through the sagebrush for thirty or forty
minutes we "got wise" and took the
Tower road" for the Jacob Holman
place. situated at the mouth of the Perry
canyon. fourteen miles south of the
Smelser place. The snow began failing
have ever been out in. The last four
miles was UP hill and the horses feet be-
came balled up with the beautiful and
went skating about like hogs on ice. Mr..
Guthrie lost his usual good nature and
it was my lot to pour little oiP' into
he snow and tax my best to keep him
down anywhere within the range of good
fellowship. AIrer doing a little talking
straight from the shoulder" and keeping
the snowbank "shoveled" from our laps,
we made Mr.. Hofman's barn a little after
six. It was storming SO hard that even
the dog dfd not see us. Mr.. Guthrie
reined up and l asked him if he was go
ing TO unhitch before going to the house.
You can bet your life l am and going to
get out of this as soon as / can, I4e
pied out of the buggy and as soon as i
could pull my game leg together / fol-
owed him, but found after getting on
my feet that / was very cold. We put
the horses in the stable and made our
way to the house.
THE HOFFMAN PLACE
Without being announced we found Mr.
Holman in the kitchen with VIM. Meager
of Battle Mountain and ]. G. Miller
from the State of Washington. They had
table and ate and ate. After supper
made us feel that we owned the rancn.

A MINING PROSPECT.

Il.
One-half mile from Mr.. Hoffman's home
place, in Perry canyon. William Meager
has good copper prospect. carrying gold
and silver. The property was formerly
owned by Salt Lake people, who failed to
do the necessary assessment work anc
Mr. Meager relocated the prospect and
hopes soon TO develop a mine of great
value. The present showing of the zone
of the copper showing is 400 feet in width.
From what little development work that
has been done Mr.. Meager is unable TO
fully satisfy himself about it's value. The
belt follows the Tobin range of mountains
through the Summit range and the Rock
Spring range clear to the foothills of the
Humboldt Mr.. Meager is very desirous
of interesting capital to develop his prop
erty. He has every confidence in his abii-
ty to show capitalists tina he is not
dreaming when he says he has a valuable
property, and from talking with him, the
Silver State man is confident he will be
able ''to make good" any representation
he makes. The property has plenty OF
water and is easy of access any time in
the year The assays Mr.. Meager has
had made run very high in copper and he
thinks the ledge carries enough gold and
silver to pay for developing. The mine
is admirably adapted for doing work, be-
ing so near the splendid ranch of Jacob
Hoffman that supplies may be landed
cheaply right on the ground Mr.. Meager
is expecting parties to look at the prop
erty most any day now and capitalists
can make any arrangement with him and
on any terms. What he wants more
than anything is to see the property de-
veioped. Mr.. Meager is a most thorough
miner and his knowledge of other things
makes his opinion valuable. He also has
fine group of mining claims in Galena
that he hopes to be able to show the
world in few months. He Is independ-
ent, not owing any man on earth a doll

Foreign Demand for American Apples

Foreign Demand for American Apples.
In recent address William A. Tay-
lor of Washington said: THE rea-
sons for the increased demand for
American apples IN foreign markets
are varied. One Of the most i'm
portant OF these is, unquestionably, the
rapid growth of the large cities OF
Europe in recent years and the rela.
tive stagnation of fruit culture In
many portions of that continent. Bet
ter transportation facilities in this
country and on the ocean, at lower
cost. have made possible the landing
or American fruit in certain European
seaports at less cost and in better
condition than that shipped only a
short distance from their home or.
chards. The development of refriger'
ated storage In the United States has
greatly steadied the export apple trade
by prolonging the shipping season un'
til Australasian fruit of the new crop
comes forward in considerable guam
titles.
Five years ago II was practically
impossible for shipper with less than
five carloads of fruit (the approx
mate capacity of most Of the refrig-
Grated compartments) to secure space
for his shipment, while at the present
time space to several ports can be
had for single carloads at almost any
time during the shipping season by
arranging in advance.
Other causes of the increased de,
mand are undoubtedly the gradual i'm.
provement in methods of packing and
handling the fruit of our commercial
orchards and a gradual approach to-
ward standard grades and standard
sizes of barrels and boxes which is in
progress and along which line there is
still room for great Improvement.
With all the gratifying features OF
the apple export trade, there are still
some difficulties to be overcome II the
export outlet is to be sufficiently en-
larged to carry the prospective sur
plus fruit from the 200000,000 apple
trees now in our orchards. First
among these is better handling and
packing of the fruit. While there has
been marked improvement in this re-
| spect in recent years, there Is still
need for emphasis on this point. Re
CARELESS of trade or quality, apples
destined for export shipment must be
snugly and tightly packed"

Planting the New Tree.

A great many trees are lost because
of the poor manner in which they are
set. Instead of digging up the ground
deeply and for a considerable width
a mere hole is dug sometimes not
more than two feet in diameter. The
soil is perhaps clayey, and this hole
serves as sort of catch basin, holding
water after every rain. The roots of
the trees are soon 'mudded in" and
air is shut off from them. The result
is that the tree merely holds its own,
but does not grow. In year or two,
perhaps, the tree Is dead and a new
one has been planted in it's place, to
likewise die. Water Is a very i'm.
portant factor In the growth of trees,
but too much water makes growth i'm.
possible. This is not the only result
with the struggling tree. The devel-
opment of the root system is made i'm.
possible, and when a gale comes along
the tree is blown over, simply because
it's roots do not have a good hold of
the earth. Had the ground been loos.
ened up in all directions the water
would not have collected in the imme.
date vicinity of the tree and the roots
would have shot out in all directions,
developing a multitude of rootlets to
lay firm hold of the earth and hold
the tree up against any blast.

Chemical Value of Hunus.

or the elements contained originally
in the decomposing plant, the potash
and other bases leach out rather read
lily, the phosphoric acid with more diff
ficulty. AS to the nitrogen, in the
case Of sweet" humus, much of It
must be supposed to pass to the state
OF nitrate before humefaction is com.
plete, that Is, while the vegetable It's
sue retains something of it's form. Nj
trogen that is bound up in humus,
especially the "sour" humus, whether
strictly a component part or merely
held more loosely, is not readily re-
covered. Just as in the case of nitrate
nutrition, so here it has been uues-
toned whether solid carbon com.
pounds in the soil ever pass directly
into plant through it's roots as ready
formed food. Some Investigations
seem to show the possibility of such a
thing, though not that any consider.
able amount of such carbon com.
pounds is taken up in that way. The
fact, now practically uncontested, that
soil rich both in mineral constitu.
ents and in decomposing organic mat
ter will promote plant growth to an
extent impossible with the fullest SUD.
ply of mineral matter only, does not
necessarily show that the decomposing
organic matter is properly plant food,
though it may play quite as important
part, even an indispensable part. The
strictly chemical value of humus ia
probably not due to its function to any
extent as direct nutrient, but rather
indirectly. The view of plant nutri-
ton newly accepted a half century
ago, regarded soil constituents as val
liable only in so far as they actually
feed the plant by entering into it.
This, the mineral theory" regarded
plants as dependent only on such ele.
ments as they actually take up. More
recent advances in knowledge show.
as had been suspected, that this is a
great error. Some of the most valua-
BILE and important constituents of a
soil have only an indirect use, that is.
they help growth but never enter into
or become part of the plant.-Chas.

20 Not FORGET Rape.

This coming season a small field
Of rape should be put in If the farmer
keeps almost am kind Of live stock,
especially sheep or hogs. This plant
is becoming very popular in the parts
of the country where it has been
longest grown. 1t is scientifically
known as brassica napus, and Is OF
the same family MS cabbage and tur-
nip. 1t will grow wherever potatoes,
corn, turnips and cabbage will grow.
1t needs especially a soil rich In the
mineral elements and in humus.
1t is very good crop to rotate with
clover, COW peas, soy beans, white
beans, peas and the leguminous plants
generally, as it takes from the soil
very different elements from those
taken by the plants named. 1t is
above all soiling crop, and when
treated as such will yield from ten to
twenty tons per acre. 1t is, however,
used also as pasturage, but. when SO
used must be carefully handled or the
stock will eat it down too close to
the ground to permit 1t to give the
Aoi5 SsI yISlu per acre.
About three rounds Of seed Is re.
CURED per acre, aad the seed is drilled
In, the rows beng "a or 80 inches
apart. Cultivation should be given as
soon as the plants appear above the
ground, to keep down the weeds and
the cultivation should be repeated
OFTEN. The keeping down of the weeds
is the important thing in the caring
Tor the rape, but when it has obtained
good development its spreading
leaves will shade the ground and the
weeds will thenceforth make very
little growth.
II the, rains are good and weather
warm, the rape will make good
growth in six weeks and by that time
may be cut and fed to some extent. II
1t is to be pastured the stock may be
turned onto 1t at that time. If it il
cut down to the ground, new seed must
be sown at once, and this process
may be continued till late summer
The crop will keep on growing till
the heavy frosts kill it in the late
fall. 1t will stand a good deal OF
frost, as will turnips, and now and
then roots and plants will live over
winter. If the plant is pastured but
lightly the hogs or sheep will eat but
the tops and the sides of the leaves
leaving the stalks and some of the
mid-veins. These at once send out
new verdure and will continue to re
new themselves all through the sea
son.
