THE PLANTING OF
FRUIT TREES

When fruit trees arrive in the spring
they should be unpacked at once as,
after being on the way long time,
they may be partially dried up. If It
is not possible to plant when they ar.
rive they should be at once heeled in
by digging a trench, placing the trees
in a sloping position and covering the
roots well with soil Sufficient soil
should be put over the roots to pre-
vent their drying out before planting
If the trees or bushes look at all dry
it is a good plan TO cove tie tops as
well as the roots for a iSw days TO
prevent further drying and to restore
their plumpness. If the plants are
very dry when received a good plan IS
to cover them entirely with water for
about a day and half. when, II there
is any life left in them when received

poisonous and must be handled with
great care.
The habits of turkeys are peculiar.
They are not so domesticated as other
fowls and seem TO thrive better when
allowed to roam at will. They are
particular and suspicious of strange
food given them, making it difficult to
administer medicines without confin-
ing them and using force
Considering these pecullarities, an
attempt to administer medicine while
they run at large or to disinfect the
premises, is impracticable, but lime
should be freely used on the excreta
beneath where they roost and on
their feeding grounds.
When the disease becomes seriously
destructive 1t is more than likely that
all the flock are affected, although
they do not show signs of it, and many
may naturally recover. Such radical
means as destroying all the remaining
birds may be resorted to, then by dis.
injecting as thoroughly as possible
and suspending the raising of turkeys
for one year, will eradicate the infec.
tive agent.
Upon restocking, eggs from healthy
fowls which are not too closely In.
bred should be secured, and the young
raised on part of the premises least
frequented by the old flock.
A little timely care and precaution
may prevent further serious losses.

Young turkeys are very delicate
and require a great deal Of care Many
Of them die when very young Of acute
indigestion from improper feeding and
from exposure TO wet and cold. Such
losses are frequently attributed to con.
tagious disease, merely because many
are subjected TO the same conditions
at the same time
The most destructive disease which
has come to our notice, attacking both
old and young turkeys, is Entero.
Hepatitis, sometimes known as black
head The latter term is a common
one owing TO a peculiar dark color
which the head assumes when the dis.
ease is at its height, but this is merely
manifestation Of disease situated in
some other part Of it's anatomy.
Entero-Hepatitis is an intestinal dis.
ease situated in the free ends of the
caeca, and is caused by a parasitic
protoZoa named by Smith Amoeba
meleagridls; as this is what may be
termed "A feeding disease, the parasite

JUDGE LANGAN
ENDS HIS WORK
in GOLDFIELD

GOLDFIELD, Dec. 2.-Judge Lam
gan left this morning for Carson and
yesterday afternoon rendered his last
service on the Goldfield bench, which
he has occupied periodically for
about nineteen months, Esmeralda
being part of his five-county district.
Upon reaching the capital city Judge
Langan will confer with Acting Gov
ernor Dickerson and then tender his
resignation as judge of his present
district.
Forthwith P. ]. Somers, who will
accompany Judge Langan to Carson,
will be named by Acting Governor
Dickerson as one of the two judges
for Esmeralda county, as provided by
the BILL. which will be rendered ef-
fective upon the acceptance of the
resignation of the present Judge.
Judge Langan will be named to pre-
side in the district embracing Orms-
by, Lyon, Storey and Douglas coun-
ties, which will be known as the fifth
judicial district. Esmeralda county
alone will constitute the seventh ju-
dicial district.
Judge Somers will return immedi-
ately to Goldfield and open court in
the regular room at the courthouse.
The second judge for the new district
will probably conduct court in the
room at present given over to the
county commissioners. The latter
officers, in case their room is used for
court purposes, will hold sessions in
the county clerks Office, as they have
done until very recently.
AS to who the second Judge is to
be is still somewhat problematical
but the choice seems to lay between
Judge Theron Stevens and S. L. Car
penter, the latter of the law firm oi
Carpenter and Stanley.

TURMOIL

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Violent
speculative sentiment in Rock Island
securities today threw the market
into somewhat of turmoil. There
was a notable subsidence when
authorized statements were made of
the financial operations about which
the speculation centered, followed by
a violent break in prices at the end
of the day. The tone of the market
thereupon fell into an unsettled
state, and there was notable con-
traction of dealings. Bonds were ir-
regular.
