Overcoming Physical Handbags.

A bundle of tangled nerves cannot
respond to the music of the Aeolian
harp of right living. Many great men
were handicapped in life by delicate
bodies. but they called will and deter
mination to their assistance and tri-
umphed over corporal weakness. Paul
was hunchback, yet became the
greatest of preachers. Julius Caesar
never planned battle without an at
tack of epilepsy. Pascal was an in
valid from early manhood. Alexan.
der Pope was dwarf and the butt
Of ridicule. Milton was blind, but
saw more with the eye of intellect
than any other man. Parkman, our
greatest historian, suffered all his
life, and could not use his eyes for
more than five consecutive minutes.
Beethoven drew forth matchless and
immortal harmonies. but his dull ears
could not absorb the ecstatic sounds.
These men. however. fought so we'll
against natural drawbacks that they
became victors.

Like RattIesnake Meat.

"Once upon q time I met an old
man out in Arizona that said the only
meat he had tasted IN over year was
that of a rattlesnake," said B. w. Sat

meat was delicate and good to eat.
He would stew it, so he said, until all
chances for any venom we're elimi.
mated. He would then dry it in the
sun, and in two or three days it would
be like crisp bacon. His story was
hard to believe. but many who knew
him declared it to be the truth. May.

GETTING RID OF THE FLIES

The beginning of the fly season is at
hand. A plan to get rid Of the pest.
WHICH might he Of interest to the
boards of health and to housekeepers
generally, has been suggested by Salt
Lake Republican subscriber.
Careful screening Of the doors and
windows is probably the most effective
way of keeping the Aies o9t," writes
the old subscriber. "Flies can be elm
minated to great extent by protectir g
their breeding places. II the household is
kept clean of filth. refuse and uncover
Ell food, there will be less to attract them
indoors.
1.-The formula, which Ihaye used with
great SUCCESS in making the house un-
attractive to flies is as follows: Boil for
five minutes pint of water in which
has been placed quarter Of teaspoon
fnl of carbolic acid. During the five
minutes that this solution is kept boil.
ing all doors and windows should be
kept tightly closed. The Aies that have
not been filled by the fumes will ct
once leave the house. Repeat the pro.
cess about twice week and the house
can be kept free of flies"

NEvADA'S new DRY FARM
Commission Selects Pleasant Valley
Ranch in Northern Elko County

Elko Independent: Messrs. Winter
Riddell and Fernald, the dry farm com.
missioners. have selected John Thomp.
sons ranch in Pleasant valley as the
place for the dry farm. The ranch con.
sists Of 160 acres. all under fence and
30 acres under cultivation. There is al
orchard Of l50 bearing apple. plum.
cherry and pear trees. and berry patch
OF about two acres.
The soil is very rich and susceptible.
OF a high degree of cultivation. Las
year Mr.. Thompson raised 1000 sacks OF
potatoes. Corn and all kinds of vege-
tables produce bountiful returns.
The land is we'll watered. aud all bu,
about an acre and q half can be pur
under cultivation.
Thu re is four-room house, barn ano
other outbuildings on the ranch. Water
from spring is pped to the house, ano
there is plenty of it for domestic and
other purposes. A reservoir in the
hills furnishes water for irrigation.
There are several different kinds OF
soil on the ranch that will give a wild,
range for experiments. From what we
have learned about this ranch. we have
no hesitation in saying that the com.
mission has made a wise choice in its
selection.
There is a large area Of land in that
section that can be brought under
cultivation if the experiment of dry
farming proves successful. II is said
that homes can be made for 10000
families If this farm proves a success.
Mr.. Thompson values the ranch at
5000. and we understand the commits
sion has 60 day option on it at thai
price. This strikes us as very reason
able. 1t is now up to the county com.
missioners to buy the ranch. as the law
provides that the county must buy the
land aud deed it to the State before the
appropriation of $4,000 is available.
Ii looks like a splendid investment for
the county, and there should be no time
lost in getting the farm under way.

In view OF the changes. both social
and political, that are taking place In
Turkey 1t is fortunate that the Amer

shifting foundations OF society In that
part of the world which will make 1t
possible for her to be of much aid to
her husband and to the members or
her own sex, Turkish. Christian and
