Peanuts and Beans.

The Department of Agriculture
reports most interesting expert
ments made by Prof. Poffa of the
University of California upon
men engaged in hard manual la
Dor most of the time, and students
working to support themselves
while persuing their studies says
the Outlook. The professor says:
Nuts are the cheapest source of
energy, peanuts ranging far
ahead" The price, I6 cents per
100 calories of energy, is at less
cost than any animal food or pota-
toes at 90 cents bushel.
Peanuts deserve special mention
because the cheapest domestic nut
continuing the highest percentage
of protein, with maximum fuel
and minimum refuse. Ten cents,
for instance, will purchase more
protein energy when spent for
-four or meal, but these are raw
materials, requiring considerable
preparation before they are eaten.
This is not necessary with fruits
and nuts. Ten cents worth of
peanuts will contain about four
ounces of protein and 2,767 calo-
ries of energy. Although pea
nuts supply protein and energy
for a smaller sum than bread, they
are outranked by dried beans,
which, at S cents per pound, will
supply for 10 cents over 200 grams
of protein and 3,o4o calories of
energy. If more peanuts and
dried beans were used by the
fruitarians the diet would be en-
riched and the cost decreased.
Fifteen cents day was the aver
age cost, with fruit, nuts, beans
and limited quantity of cottage
cheese and eggs.

bulk of this money and property
from raising turkeys, raising 400
or 500 every year on an average.
In turkey raising the turkeys are
herded like sheep. After sheep
have been over the land in the

RIVER WATER STORAGE
An Appropriation of 100000 From National Irrigation
Fund to Begin Work in This District.

A Washington dispatch dated
January 2Ist, 1905, has the follow
ing in regard to the irrigation
proposition in the Walker River
basin:
In the hearings before the Irri-
CATION Committee today, Mr.. New
ell, chief of the reclamation SER
vice and A. P. Davis, Assistant
Supervising Engineer, were before
the committee. Congressman Van
Duzer took up the Walker River
and Mason Valley project. Mr..
Newell and Mr.. Davis stated that
this project was now ready and
that work will begin as soon as
the farmers have mutually ad-
Indicated their rights through the
Water Users Association.
Supervising Engineer Davis
said that the proposed project con-
templated the division of water
from the Walker River to Alkali
Lake and from Alkali Lake back
into the Walker River and was
the first unit in the development.
This project ultimately means the
reclaming of 100000 acres of land.
Congressman Van Duzer took up
the proposed project on the Walk
er River, involving both Mason
Valley and Smith Valley.
Mr.. Newell, in reply to Cong
ressman Van Duzer, spoke highly
of the possibilities of this district
and said the Inauguration of the
work on the project only awaited
the agreement between the present

water users on Walker River and
Senator Newlands, whose untiring
energy in this matter has resulted
in bringing water users together
in Mason Valley.
Senator Newlanbs has insist
emily urged this matter before the
Secretary of the Interior and it is
due entirely to his efforts that the
Secretary of the Interior has set
aside 100000 to begin this work
on the Walker River project.
There is a strong pressure from
every State to get funds but this
is set aside and it was generally
understood no other project would
be undertaken in Nevada.
This is another victory for Sena-
tor Newlands, who has been ably
supported in this work by Cong
ressman Van Duzer, who has con-
Quoted the agitation before the
House Committee on Irrigation,
now holding an extensive hearing.
The project means rapid develop
ment in this portion of Nevada.
1t gives life and hope.
While this dispatch bears the
earmarks of an advertisement for
our Senator and Congressman, the
news will be received with much
Joy by the people of the Walker
River basin. They will be ready
to give due credit to any and all
who assist in obtaining storage
and irrigation system for this sec
ton, no matter of what political
faith they may be.

Turkey Profits.

The value of the turkey as a
bird of commerce has been strik-
ingly demonstrated by William
Roser, of Glenn county, Califor-
MIA. Mr.. Roser went to Glenn
county about twelve years ago,
and at that time his fortune con
sisted of just $3.50. OF this
amount he invested $50 or 500 in
turkeys, and since then he has
regularly devoted considerable
attention to the Thanksgiving
fowl. Last year he sold $500
