good corn countries) whatever can be
gotten out of the crop is clear profit.
The only cost Of harvesting crop.

To fence one of these 22-acre strips,
1854 rods of fencing will be needed );

!. The growing of corn or following is
made necessary by the excessive
weakness Of the land. It is believed
that a careful study of the compare
tive cost of following and growing
corn as suggested above, altogether
with the advantages of growing the
corn crop is sufficient to convince any
one of the desirability of the corn
over the fallow. Many of the most
careful farmers in the valley have
said that they can depend on getting
4 bushels per acre more wheat on
corn land than on summer..ssfallowed
land, owing to the fact that on
fallowed land too....heavy a
crop of straw is grown.
Assuming that the corr is of no
more value to the land than summer
fallow and that enough must be got
ten out of the corn to pay the extra
cost of growing it over the cost of
following, we still have very FEAST

to be expected, especially
if rape or some such forage crop were
sown in the corn at the last cultiva-

more pounds of mutton or beef per
acre every tall from their stubble

with the grain.

Or other market for dairy products is
convenient and the farmer has a |
taste for dairying, to Is COWS can
be kept at profit. More grass would
then be needed and two fields could |
then be used for grass. The first year
after seeding could be used for hay
and the second year which is marked
in the plat ''grain or grass could be
used for pasture. This of course
would reduce the amount of grain
grown by p acres.
The rotation of pastures is mat

more oats per acre than the old grain
field. The pasture on the new mead
ow will be worth enough more than
that on the old meadow to more than
pay for moving the fence and the in
creased yield Of grain on the pasture
sod will be clear gain.
A feature Of this rotation which
may be overlooked is the lessened
amount Of labor required to operate
the farm. The corn field is disced for
wheat and the meadow Of course is
not plowed SO that instead of blowing
the whole l60 acres as is the. case
with exclusive grain farming, but
five fields, or ITO acres are plowed
ach year, or If two fields are needed
for hay and pasture but four fields or
SO acres will be plowed each year.
The term grain is used on the plat
to indicate crops to be grown each
year instead of some specific term
such as wheat or flax. This is to
give leeway to the farmer to grow
any Of the grain crops likely to give
him the best returns financially.
Flax, oats, barley or wheat may be
grown on the fields marked grain
except that it would not be wise to
SOW fax oftener than once during
the rotation of seven years. The
best place for this if it is desired to
grow flax would be following the
grass each year. The other years any
grain crop desired can be grown. If.
weeds begin to trouble, a crop of bar
ley could be raised to hold them, in.
check until the field would come into
corn and grass which would practical
ly clean them out. y:
This rotation, while not all that
could be desired Of rotation is sim
pie and practical. It will hold the
weeds in check, keep the humus in
the soil, improve the physical condi-
tion so as to better control the soil
moisture and make practically certain
an increased yield of all crops grown
at an actual reduction of cost of la
Dor. a..
For grass nothing is better than
timothy and clover and this may be
mixed and seeded with the grain
crop; use four to eight pounds of
timothy and four to six pounds, of
clover per acre. Grass seed should be
thoroughly mixed with the grain and
stirred in drill box occasionally to
insure equal distribution.
It is not assumed that the above
rotation is adapted to all conditions
in the.valley, but it is suggested as
an improvement over the present.
system OF continuous grain raising.
The introduction of corn and grass
crops is simply to take the place of
the land now bare-fallowed each
year. IT has been demonstrated
beyond question that bare fallow is
very wasteful of soil fertility and !: as
often done it does not prevent the
seeding--of some Of the worst weeds.
The grass crop adds fertility to the
soil, checks the growth of weeds,
adds humus, and furnishes at a very
slight cost of labor, excellent hay
and pasturage. Any questions in re-
gard to the rotation of crops will be
cheerfully answered if addressed to

ROTATION OF CROPS
An Exhaustive Article On This
Subject, Specially Prepared
For Valley Farmers

Results of experiments in crop 10
tation at the Minnesota Experiment
Station show beyond doubt that
there is great field for improvement
in the management of our farms.
In these experiments the yield of
crops has been much increased, the
fertility of the soil increased, weeds
held in check and the cost of produce
tion decreased, simply by laying out
and following as near as practicable,
some definite system of crop rotation
and field management. The follow
ing yields may be of interest as illus
ira ting what is being accomplished

In announcing his intention to visit
Ramsey withln the coming few days to
inspect his mining interests in that now
district, Alex Jacobson gave the first in
timation of the fact that he owns some
OF the choicest properties among the first
locations In that region. Mr.. Jacobson
went into Ramsey for the first time last
April. and with Ben Hazleton of Gold
Bar fame and p. f. McMannss Of Los
Angeles owns twenty-seveu claims with

had plenty OF representatives upon the
ground during the first days OF the ex-
citement, but few II any knew that Mr..
jacobson was the possessor of much OF

Mr.. Jacobson stated Thursday. when
asked by The Tribune, that enough work
had been done on his properties TO es-
tablish the primary rights TO the same,
and one result of his visit may be the
starting Of thorough course of devel-
opment work. He stated that the dis

SALT LAKE OFFICES,
Nevada Mining Companies Are Coming
to Zion for Headquarters.

S. G. McMullin, one OF the most sue
cessful operators in Nevada, with Gold
field as his headquarters, stopped over
in Salt Lake Thursday en- route to Colo
rado Springs. MIR. McMullin brought
good news to this city, which Is to
the effect that, with the coming OF fall
there VIII be opened up in this city n
large number of mining offices by Gold
field operators,
Mr.. McMullin stated Thursday that
Salt Lake was the only gateway to Ne
vadai the conditions in this city are
ideal In every particular for making this
the headquarters for Nevada companies.
The situation has been thoroughly can
vassed in Goldfeld, and Salt Lake has
been agreed upon as the logical center
for Nevada companies and operations.
This viii benefit Salt Lake in several
ways. The establishment OF headquarters
for prominent Nevada companies Will
bring tho purchaser OF stocks and sup
plies OF all kinds to the local market,
and 1t should assist in establishing Salt
Lake as the legitimate center of stock
transactions, There has been quite q
sentiment OF late to make this city the
clearing house for Nevada stock trans
actions, and while Mr.. McMullin would
not express his opinions as to this phase
OF the question, he was positive in the
assertion that Salt Lake Will soon con-
tain offices of many Nevada companies.
Mr., McMullin stated Thursday that
within the past week the Nevada stocks
have increased in value everywhere %
per cent. The condition of the stock
market Is especially strong, and the
prospects for the coming winter are eX-

ELECTRIC LINE TO
ALTA FROM MURRAY
Wealthy Resident of Philadel-
phia Looking Over Field
for New Railroad.

Assistant General Manager Wantland
of the Flagstaff company returned Thurs
day morning from the property at Alta,
and accompanying him was Edward Heck
man, q wealthy resident of Philadelphia.
Mr.. Hickman is looking over the prop
critics of Utah, especially those of Alta.
with n view OF becoming interested. Mr.,
WanIland stated Thursday that Mr..
Hickman was seriously considering the
advisability OF constructing an electric
line for freight and passengers from
Murray TO Alta,
There is no doubt but what there Is
no greater need In Alta today than for q
railroad. All the companies are having
serious difficulty In securing the teams
to haul ore from the mines TO the tracks
at Sandy. and the necessary supplies
from Sandy up the canyon, Mr.. Want
land states that the Flagstaff had three
cars of ore now ready for shipment, but
teams have not yet been secured for
this purpose. The Flagstaff can use ten
teams now constantly,
The need for teams at Alta has reached
an acute stage, and operators are hope
full that Mr. Hickman or some other
powerful interests Will bring the needed
relief TO the district.

THIS ROCK CONTAINS
SOME YELLOW ETAL
Black Horse Mining District
Specimen Ore Fairly
Dazzles the Eye.

Few specimens of gold ore have been
brought to Salt Lake showing more free
gold than that which Mr.. McFall de-
posted In the Salt Lake Offices of the
Mines Development company Thursday,
This ore comes from the Mable Fraction
property in the Black Horse Mining dis
trict OF Nevada. and the ore deserves
the great attention that it attracted.
1t Is one mass of the yellow metal, and
one is ready to believe its enormous
values without the attached assayer's GER
titcate.
Mr.. McFall had the temerlty to have
this rock assayed and the result was
that 1t contained 60139 ounces OF gold.
or S1002IS per ton, Unfortunately, there
Is not even a ton OF this ore available,
but II came from q vein which pans well
for scvcnty-nYe feet across, and iiYo feet
OF which runs in the vicinity OF $500 per
ton. The Mable Fraction adjoins the
properties owned by the Mines Develop
ment company. a Salt Lake organtza-
ton. the members OF which stated Thurs
day that their possessions had ceased to
be prospects and now were mines.
The Black Horse district first sprang
into prominence last March, when Frank
Mcintyre made the first locations in the
camp. Following his action there was
Wild stampede into the district from Ely
and the surrounding points. with the re-
suit that Salt Lakers secured the best
that the territory afforded. The camp
Is only thirty miles east of Ely. and all
the developments point to the establish
ment OF the Black Horse district as one
OF Neyada's greatest milling camps. The
Mines Development company have
shipped ore to this city. the values be-
ing $50 per ton. and another shipment
is due which Will run still higher,
One interesting incident In the Black
Horse districts life is the fact that oil
the freight, such as supplies of all kinds.
is purchased in Salt Lake, and to the
smelters OF this valley all the ore Will
be marketed, The camp has everything
in Its favor, including values an abund-
ance OF water, and combinations of min
Ing talent bent upon developing their
properties upon the most approved and
honorable lines.
