PREPARATIONS FOR
THE STATE FAIR

The fair grounds and race track
are being put in good condition for
the coming state fair, which Is to be
held in Reno on September 18th. An
eight-foot board fence is being erect
ed around the grounds, and all the
buildings are being renovated. The
track this year will be several Sec
onds faster than ever before.
The $4,000 appropriated by the
state for premiums will be augment
ed by prizes offered by private indi-
viduals. The committee reports that
the subscriptions for the racing
purses have been liberal, and that
good purses will be hung up In all
the events.
The running races will consist of
free-for-alls and district races. The
trotting and pacing will be mixed
classes, principally district races. A
number of good special matches will
probably be arranged. 1t is the in
tention of the committee to adver-
tise extensively both throughout this
state and California.
Many Nevada and California horses
are already in training at the track.

ton is chiefly engaged in production

Whether Mr.. Schiff dreams that
practically all the Jews of the earth
will gather in America we do not
know. Conditions here invite them.
There are said to be more American
Jews in two wards in New York than
there are British Jews In all the rest
of the earth. In many countries con-
ditions at present repel them, but
such are passing away. Civilization
will soon reach point that will give
their rights protection in all lands
Persecution, however, seems to affect
them little. Nearly half of the entire
Jewish population of the globe is
found in Russia-the place of their
bitterest persecution.
The acceptance of America as their
nation, present and forever, their
pride in American citizenship, not in
terfering with their'pride in their re-
ligion or their loyalty to it, would
sooner or later end their existence as
race while preserving their exist
ence as a religious body. America is
the great melting cauldron where old
races are fused together into new,
strong race which very possibly may
; be advancing to the domination of
the world. The Jews would contri-
butte an element of strength to the
making of this race and their leaders
would probably not object to their
being submerged in Its assimilatiye
| power.

NOT PALESTINE, But AMERICA

In his address recently before the
Jewish Chautauqua at Atlantic City,
Jacob H. Schiff expressed the opinion
that the promised land of the Jew is
not Palestine, but America; and in
the course of his speech he said:
THE vision which presents itself
to me shows me people of our faith,
who have thrown off the shackles, the
peculiarities and the prejudices
which have handicapped their fathers
"a great host, Jews in faith, but one
in sentiment with their surroundings,
warmly attached to their country, of
which they have become part and
percel-a people among the best of
the land, proud of their American
citizenship, thoroughly imbued with
its spirit, with its obligations, with
its high privileges, but just as proud
of their religion-almost a new type
these descendants of Jewish Pill
grim Fathers, true Americans of the
Jewish faith. =
Men of cool judgment must realize
that the idea of a gathering in Pales-
tine of all the Jewish people of the
earth can never be more than
dream. Individual inclination rath-
er than national sentiment governs
men in their choice of homes. No
nation-no part of nation-could
be transplanted en- masse from one
section to another
Such a transference of the Jews
would be more difficult than that of
any other people, for the uniformity
of their business instincts makes a
separate national existence for them
an impossibility. They are traders.
BY instinct, by education they buy
and sell rather than produce. The
world needs them. They are good
citizens, but they can follow their
natural inclinations much better and
attain much higher state of prosper
ity living in countries whose popula-

as closely together as possible. Then
we shave over the upper surface of all
the cakes with carpenters ADJ.
The shavings of ice were swept into
the crevices between the cakes. When
freezing cold a little water was sprln-
kled over the whole surface to ce-
ment the layer solidly together. AS
each layer is completed the sawdust
should be filed in around the sides

on top of any layer Of Ice while filling.

by being packed away from the air.
AS hot weather comes on the Ice win
settle some. Be sure to keep the saw
dust tamped down around the sides
frequently during early summer, and
see that no air holes form, advises q
writer in Hoard's Dairyman.
When the ice Is packed In, cover
with ten to fifteen inches of sawdust.
Leave the gables open more or Less to
allow free circulation Of air over the

waste during the hot summer months,
no matter how. much pains are taken,
and this would be true In the more
costly ice houses.

Checking Rot In Potatoes.

A thoroughly satisfactory treatment
for checking rot in potatoes is yet to be
found. What has proved best In my
experience is, first, keeping the storage
cellar at a temperature as near IS to
SO degrees as possible; second, sorting
the potatoes after they have completed
their sweat in case any indication of
wet rot is shown to prevent the rot
spreading from the decaying tubers to
the sound ones. Dry rot is very rarely
If at all transmitted from one potato to
another, according to a writer in Or
ange Judd Farmer.
Ii the potatoes are left in pits in the
field to sweat prior to putting them in
the cellar they will usually show rot
that may he in them when they are
taken from the pit. Potatoes which
are nearly clean of dirt usually show
more rapid spread Of the wet rot than
do potatoes which are covered with q
considerable coating of dry soil Posi-
bly, the reason for this may be the fact
that the dry soil is not good medium
for passage Of the rot from one potato
to another.

A Dangerous Cargo.

There was great excitement one

crime of having attempted to bring
a large number of dynamite bombs
into the country Of the czar. They
brought the unhappy man before
the judge, who happened to be one
of the few intelligent men in the
town.

judge.

ICE HOUSE.
A Quickly Ruut structure Proved
Satisfactory.


For many years hundreds of farm
ers have gone without ice during the
long, hot summers because they sup
posed it would cost considerable mon
ey and time 10 secure and preserve
the congealed fluid. But at very little
expense an ice house can be construct
ed that will hold and keep well all the
ice needed for any farmers family.
For several years we used a small
cheap Ice house that kept the ice as
well as more costly building CON
structed over twenty years previously.
Some have an idea they must forego
the luxury of ice on account of ex-
pense, when almost any kind of a
shed will preserve the ice very well,
provided 1t is properly packed.
Our last ice house was cheaply
constructed shed that took less than a
days work in its construction. We
used white oak poles set into the
ground about two feet. Some cheap
hardwood bill STUFF of by 4 and 2

important points arise in considering
fall butchering upon the farm where
the object is simply to secure q sup
ply of meat for family use. First Is
the easy and convenient heating of wa
ter; next. the making of simple table

on the bottom of the tub, but this will
do no great harm. Such tub can be
purchased anywhere. 1t should be set
up close to the slaughtering table, and
when the water in the tub is hot two
men lift the tub by the handles and
pour contents into the scalding vat.
This latter may have blanket thrown
over the top if another tubful of water
must be heated. This is much more
convenient to heat water than by
means of set tub, from which all
the water must be taken out in pals
