Fifteen tons of ore were shipped this
week from the ST. Ives lease, of which
A. A. Codd is manager. The ore runs
about $50 a ton, ana was sampled at
the Nevada Goldfield Reduction works.
Two men are at work on the lease, fol-
lowing the ore in stope at a depth OF
about 65 feet, in an effort to pick up
the ore shoot that made quite recor i
in the early days of the camp.
Mr.. Codd went to the East Walker
river country a few days ago, accom-
panied by his foreman, j. r. Sears, to
inspect the group of six claims they Sc
cured recently for the st. Ives Leasing

GIANT HYDRAULICS TO BE
PUT ON JUPITER PLACER

Preparations are being made for III
stalling two giant hydraulics on the
Jupiter placer ground northwest of
Goidfield. Preliminary work will begin
about March 1st, and within few
weeks the hydraulic will be in opera
tion.
Tim Connolly, who is in charge OF at
fairs, says that the work has been de-
layed by the securing of right OF way
through various properties for the
fiume, but those matters have been
pretty well closed up now, so that plans
can be gone ahead with.
Mr.. Connolly has had extensive ex-
perience in placer mining in various
parts of the country, including the
Klondike, and he is confident that the
Jupiter will prove very profitable
proposition. He estimates that the ex-
pense of operations will not exceed 20
cents yard and experimental work
shows that the dirt will run about ST. a
cubic yard for the first ten feet down,
and from that point to bedrock it Will
average around So.
The opening of profitable placer
ground within less than three miles Of
| Goldfield will add a new industrial
phase to the camp, and if the expecta-
tons of the Jupiter company are real
lied, it will undoubtedly result in
similar efforts being made by Other
parties

SET HAVANA TOBACCO PLANTS
To Be Grown on Selected Land In
Massachusetts, and It's Progress
Carefully Watched.

Three one.acre tracts Of the best to.
bacco land have been selected, To-
Gated on Massachusetts farms. On
each Of these tracts about 5000
tobacco plants will be set of the Hal
liday Havana type, and these carefully
grown and handled through the sea.
0 under the joint direction Of Prof.
Stewart and Prof. Brooks. Occasion
al gatherings Of the growers Of the
valley will be held on the several
tracts to note the progress of the ex.
periments and gain information as
to the best methods of culture. The
plants for these tracts are now being
grown at Tariffville, Conn, and the
setting will take place from the 10th
to the 25th of this month, says the
Springfield Republican. Wherever
this new variety of tobacco has been
grown great results have followed and
its widespread adoption has taken
place. The proposed experiments
will demonstrate whether this new
leaf can be successfully grown in
Massachusetts, and is expected to
give much valuable information on to-
bacco growing in general as the ex.
pert methods to be used on these
tracts are noted by the growers.

The walls might be made lighter at

would hardly balance the trouble Of
varying the size of the forms. The

Pasture on Bottom Lands,

Meadow lands that cannot be con-
verted to the growing of corr or other
crops may be turned into a pasture
for cattle, horses and hogs. Orchard
grass may be sown, two and one-half
bushels to the acre, and ten pounds
of red clover seed. These ripen to.
gether and make an excellent hay,
The only objection to orchard grass IS
its tendency to grow in clumps with
vacant spans between. This is OBJ
waited by heavy seeding and the mix
ing with some other seeds, as advised.
October is probably the best time to
SOW the seeds. Eventually in all
probability, Johnson grass will take
possession of the land and hold it
against all comers-except the teeth
and feet of cattle and hogs

Fertilizers and Manure.

Farmyard manure is weak in both
phosphoric acid and potash, and these
elemnts are supplied in fertilizers.
While they may be used alone, It is
customary to use them in connection
with farm manure, which will prac.
tically mean crop insurance, and vii,
actually prove so, with sufficient
moisture. Crops can be grown con.
tinuously on fertilizers containing all
the elemnts of plant food. This was
demonstrated at the experiment sta.
ton at ~Rothamsted, England, where
for AZ years wheat was grown on
chemical fertilizer without manure.
and yielded a larger average crop per
year than a similar section, on which
tarmyard manure was used.

The Water Bite,

He was six years old and had never
gazed into the mystic lens of a mi
croscOpe. Several slides containing
animalcula had been displayed to his
astonished vision. He was too amazed
to make any comment until he came
to n slide that seemed. more wriggly
than any Of the others. It was merely
a drop Of water.
The little fellow gazed at it a long
time, with a. its n1mble particles Of
animal life, and finally exclaimed to
his mother:
"Oh, mamma, now I know what it is
that bites you when you drink soda

Physicians Mean Trick,

A doctor was one day stopped In the
street by one of his woman patients
whose malady vas purely imaginary.
The doctor, who vas known for his
intolerance of and nonsympathy with
such invalids, after listening some
what impatiently to the woman's de.
tailed account Of all her feelings and
symptoms, told her to shut her eyes
and put out her tongue. She prompt.
ly did so, On opening her eyes In a
few seconds the doctor was nowhere
to be seen, and the woman awoke to
the fact that he had left her standing
by herself in a busy thoroughfare with
her eyes shut and her tongue hanging
out.

lambinq Data.

The time that elapses between serv-
ice and lambing runs from 145 to $50
days; about LAT days will catch the
great majority. AS in mares, the males
are carried slightly longer than the
females. Old ewes, say from four to
six years, will produce the most lambs
and will save the most. There are
more single lambs produced by young
ewes than by older ones.

MULE IS VALUABLE ANIMAL.
Worth More Money Than the Horse,
and Always Finds a Ready
Market.

The average farmer is probably not
aware of the fact that an average
mule sells for ten dollars per head
more than horses. Such Is the case.
and the price has been gradually ris.
ing for a number OF years. There
has never been what could be called
an overproduction of mules, while the
market has often been unable to sup
ply the trade.
The mule natures more quickly
than the horse, and can be placed on
the market from one to two years
sooner than the average horse. This
means a large profit to the producers
and quicker returns for the invest
ment. A well.fed mule can be worked
at two years of age with safety, II
proper judgment is exercised by the
driver. They are much less nervous
than a horse, thus much less liable
to accident or blemish. A blemish

The mule is a taxpayer and a mort

years, or when he Is able to work. The
mule is ready money at any age. The

TICKS CARRY FEVER
How the Texas Parasite Spreads
Disease Among Cattle.
Feature is That They Are
Transmitted Through Eggs Of In
sect-Plague VIII Appear in
Short Time After infection.

The microscopic parasite which
causes the disease known as Texas
fever or tick fever of cattle is found
In the blood of affected animals and
Is transferred from one to another by
means of the fever tick. A remark
able feature of this transaction is that
the disease-prOducing parasites are
transmitted through the eggs OF the
tick that draws the blood, and not
directly by the old tick, as an en-.
gorged tick after dropping from the
host (Cow) dies without even attach.
ing itself to another animal. But it's
offspring, produced by the eggs laid
after 1t drops off and before 1t dies,
carry the infection and inoculate the
first cow they get on.
The length of time elapsing be-
tween the exposure of susceptible cat
tie to infection by ticks and the ap-
pearance Of Texas fever among them
is dependent upon the climate and the
development Of the ticks. Thus, if
northern cattle are placed on pastures,
highways, or in pens, cars, etc, In
summer Immediately after the prem.
Uses have been infested with ticks
from southern cattle, Texas fever may
occur in 30 to 60 days, as the fe-
male ticks which drop from southern
cattle must lay eggs and these must
hatch before the northern animal be-
comes infested with ticks, and there
by inoculated with the disease. Aft.
err the seed ticks become attached
to the animal the disease will appear
in about ten days in summer or a
somewhat longer period in winter. In
fact, the disease may occur before the
ticks are large enough to be seen
without a very careful search.
One objection that has been ad-
vanced against the fact that the cattle
tick is a carrier of Texas fever is that
cattle are sometimes found to be SUI
fering with the disease without show.
ing the presence of ticks on their
bodies. This condition in the case OF
southern cattle may be explained by
the fact that the animal already had
It's blood infected with the parasites
and under normal conditions was re-
sistant to Texas fever; however, as a
result of lowered vitality caused by
some other disease, or by exposure,
%privation, injury, rough handling, etc.,
this resistance has been reduced and
finally overcome, and the parasites at
last succeed in producing the disease.
On the other hand, when the disease
Is observed in northern animals, the
young seed ticks may be so small and
so few in number as to be unobserved.
Under certain conditions, as when
living on horses, mules, etc., the ticks
lose their infectiousness, and when
southern cattle not previously infect
ed with any but these n~oninfectious
ticks come In contact with infectious
ticks they are just as susceptible az
cattle raised on tick-free pastures.
Publications containing full infor.
nation about the ticks and giving
directions for getting rid of them may
be obtained free on application to the
bureau Of animal industry, department
OF agriculture, Washington, D. C.
