DIVERSITY OF CROPS.
Another Word About This Important
Principle of Successful
Farming.

Two of the most potent principles of
agriculture are diversity and rotation of
crops. They are the broad foundations
upon which successful farming rests and
go hand in hand, each facilitating the
other. Both are too frequently neglect
ed and often totally disregarded. says
the Epitomist. Their neglect is the
natural accompaniment of a one-crop
system of farming. In many localities
where the soil and climate encourages
the cultivation of one staple crop, such
as wheat, corn and cotton, TO the ex-
cluslon OF nearly everything else, the
neglect of rotation and diversified crop
ping Is mistake of the greatest i'm
portance, since the presence of humus
In the soil is most essential to ample
crop production and those lax methods
or Farming have tendency rather to de-
stroy than produce humus. In sections
Where the predominating character of
the soil is light and sandy and the pres
ence therein of a large and constant sup
ply OF vegetable matter is necessary to
the maintenance and increase of its fer
tlllty, the extreme heat of summer con-
spires to bring about a rapid depletion
OF soil fertility. Rotation necessitates
more or less diversity and diversity ia
cilitates the practice of rotation and in
creases its profits. In devising a system
or plan of rotation there should be added
such crops as will find ready sale, or that

into live stock land preferably both) and
at the same time satisfy the home de-
mand for the product grown.

atives To do, this, have an ordinary
large iron kettle, in which to heat and
mix the tar, and deep vat, which may
be an old wash boiler or similar tin YES
SELL which must be at least three feet
deep and ten inches in diameter. Have
the tar quite hot when the posts are
dipped Allow them to remain mo-
ment, then remove and pile with the
ends free and allow to dry.
A mixture of three parts coal tar and
one part clean, unsalted grease, to pre-
vent the tar from drying until it has
had time to fill the pores of the wood,
is also first-class preservative, says the
Farm and Home. One barrel coal tar
should cover 300 posts. This may be
painted upon the posts, but better be
applied in bath as described above.
In either case the posts should not be set
deeper than the tar has been applied.
An application to the top or exposed
part of the post need not be SO thorough
Good paint is more valuable for exposed
portions.
Posts used in this way should be thor
oughly dry and well seasoned before the
tar is applied, otherwise when set they
will rot quite as rapidly as if untreated.
Heavy tar oils, such as carbolineum, are
better than paints or coal tars, but are
expensive for general use. Charring
posts before setting is not a good prac-
tice, because when charred large cracks
appear, which are openings for rot.

upon to do the work of men, upon oc-
casions even hiring out to perform va
rious tasks such as is shown in the il
lustration, where group of Hindoo

or more. who, grasping the tugs tas-

n R. LLEWELLYN JORDAN, Medi-
~ cal Examiner of the U. s. Treasury
Department, graduate of Columbia
College, and who served three years at
West Point, has the following to say of
Peruna:

ferers, Peruna will cure yOu."
A constantly increasing number of
physicians prescribe Peruna in their
practice. 1t has proven it's merits so
thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome their prejudice against social
ed patent medicines and recommend it
to their patients.
Peruna occupies unique position in
medical science. 1t is the only internal
systemic catarrh remedy known to the
medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
everyone will admit. is the cause of one
half the diseases which afflict mankind.

RAILROAD FOR
THIS VALLEY
Actual Construction Work
Will Begin Early Next
Spring.

CARSON New, Feb. 13.-fhe much
talked of and often planned railroad
between this city and Gardnerville, is
now assured. Railroad surveyors took
the field today to determine on the Of
fetal route to the busy town to the
south and the first thing next spring
construction work will begin in ear
nest and will be carried to completion.
Gardnerville is sixt en- miles south of
this city and the route passes through
the heart of Carson valley, one of the
richest farming sections on the Pacific
Coast.
The building of the line means much
for the people of Gardnerville and the
country south as far as Bodie. Carson
will be greatly benefited and settlers
now kept away by lack of freight
facilities will be attracted The route
was formerly surveyed for the Sou
thern Pacific now passing through

OF II
FIEND.

Albert Daudel, the proprietor oi
the Oberon saloon, had the misfortune
to lose valuable hunting dog last
Saturday. Owing to the fact that the
york of dog poisoner was much in
evidence the past week, Albert kept a
close watch on his dog, but in some
manner he got quantity of the
STUFF and in spite OF all that could
be done the poor creature died.
We dwelt at some length last week
upon the malicious being who is doing
this dastardly work 1t is hard to be-
lieve that we have such person living
in our little town that would take
this method of revenge on dumb
animal. In nearly every instance
some valuable dog that is thought the
world of by his master is the one that
suffers, and not the scrub that is al
ways an the street and under every
body's feet.
The local peace officers have the
matter in hand and If they succeed in
locating the guilty one, it is quite
likely that he will get his just deserts.

Wonderful Mine

The Simmerone continues to- inn
prove and it certainly is a wonder.
There can be no comparison between
the mine of today and the one of a
week ago. The recent uncoverings
have placed it far above the most
sanguine expectations of its owners.
There is now on the dump five tons
of three classes of ore, the first
assaying S14,O to the ton, the second
$500, the third s125. This ore is
sorted and sacked and the higher
grade will be be shipped by express as
soon as the company sends the neces-
sary guards, which will be here in a
few days.
The vein from which this rich ore is
taken has widened to four feet and
still shows signs of increasing. Dom
aid B. Gillis, consulting engineer has
been at the mine for few days super
intending affairs.-Goldfield Review.
w. T. Sinclaire, one of the original
locators of the Simmerone mine, was
in Gardnerville last week, and in con-
versation with a reporter efthis paper
stated that at the time of the discov-
cry of the claim it showed up such
amazing riches that he was uncertain
as to the depth of the ledge and fear
that it was only pocket, sold out
three days after the ledge was un-
covered for 100000. The new owners
put two men to work with a hand
winch, they taking out values on an
average ofs7 200 per day. This mine
certainly is wonder of the mining
age.

DEATH OF
GENOA
Mrs. Hal. Clayton Passes
Away After Years of
Suffering.

Mrs. Susan Clayton, wife of the
late Hal Clayton, one of the early
LAWYERS of this State, died in Genoa
last saturday. Mrs. Clayton had
been in falling health for years, final
ly reaching the stages where she was
perfectly helpless when death reliev-
ed her sufferings. Tor a number OF
years she had received help from the
county. However she was always
most tenderly cared for in a private
family, oflate being cared for by the
family of Chris Christensen. 1t is re-
ported tEat the Claytons were once
possessed of considerable wealth, but
the fates of fortune vanished ii. Her
husband, Hal Clayton, was brilliant
lawyer and orator and was engaged
in several of the noted lawsuits, one
Of these was the first suit of the Car
son Valley farmers against the Mill
Companies in 1864.
As far as we know she left no re-
latives in this community. II is re-
ported that she has step-daughter
living somewhere in Oregon.
Her remains were taken to Carson
where the interment took place und r
the anspicies of the Odd Fellows. She
was laid beside her husband in the
Carson cemetery.
