MUCH ACTIVITY IN The
MlNIhCGAMP OF AURA

Elko county. Nevada, newspapers
have considerable to state regarding
activity at the mining camp OF Aura
In Northern Blko county.
From present indications, no less
than seven or eight properties will be
shipping ore this season and probably
others will be added TO the number
before many months have passed.
The Aura King Gold Mining COM
pany, which is the pioneer company
IN the new development Of that old
camp, will have its mill running and
expects to be classed with the steady
producers of the state from now on.
This will be good news to the many
stockholders In Ogden OF this COM
pany who have always had great con-
fidence in the outcome of the prop
erty,
No less than three railroad projects
are headed for that part Of Elloo
county, and even If one only goes

Ing an excellent mining and agricul-
tural region.

intention to increase rates wherever
possible.
The meeting Wednesday is to be
one OF what is known as the off1cial
classification COMMITTEES, and the
change proposed Is to abolish all class
and commodity rntes and substitute
for them graded rates, TO be regulated
according TO the value Of the articles
shipped. making high priced articles
pay heavy carrying charges. and cheap
er graded goods more reasonable
tariff. notwithstanding the opposition
OF shippers. the change is said by rail-
road men to have much to commend
1t, In all events. II is freely admitted
there are many things In connection
with the plan, as at present In effect
that long have appeared to require
reformation to place freight rates upon
an equitable basis.
Under the present system plan
tables. manufactured from the cheap
est pine lumber, are required TO pay
as heavy rates as the most highly
polished mahogany furniture. Pianos
OF the most expensive makes do not
pay any more freight than bamboo
settees-and so on all through the
an equitable arrangement, but should
be changed so that the higher valued
articles should pay a proportionately
higher freight rate.
1t Is said that the interstate COM
merce commission has given tacit ap-
proval to the change. and this pre-
sumption is based largely on the fol
lowing remarks of Commissioner
Prouty on the subject:
While We decline to establish a
rating upon the basis of value, 1t must
not be understood that we have reach
ed final conclusion that such a prin-
ciple might not with propriety be In
troduced into the classification. There
Is much to commend the idea, and. II
the carriers would or could suggest a
workable plan 1t would meet with the
approval Of the commission"

be authorized but the amendment was
lost

ment has for several years appointed annually small number of graduates in civil engineering and given to them thorough and practical training in highway work for one year. A num- Der of these young engineers have passed from the departments service to important situations in state and county road work
 In many parts of the country almost devoid of road building rocks the cost of maeadam roads is prohibitive. Ex- periments have demonstrated that the sand-clay method of road construction is fairly good substitute for maead- am road. and roads so built are giv- ing satisfaction in various southern states.
 Burnt clay is another material with which experiments have been made in road construction, and it is found to be desirable to use this material where maeadam roads cannot be made at Il cost of not more than one-third of the usual cost of the latter.
 Dust prevention on public roads has received investigation in this country as well as in Europe. The materials used in the experiments of the govern ment department have included. among others, tar preparations, asphalt. oils such temporary expedients as calcium chloride and several special prepara tions originating i'll the department The testing of road materials to deter mine their suitability for road btild ing has reached a high state of effi- eiency in the department.
 Some states are rapidly giving more permanent construction to the princi- pal highways. The state of New York in a recent year expended for this purpose more than Siooo.ooe; Massa- chusetts. about S5750Oo; Connecticut. about s22o,oo0: New Jersey, about s25o.oo0: Pennsylvania and Vermont,

 Makes Feathers Fly.

T. c. Griggs of East Orange, N. J.. is the inventor of fowl plueking de vice which poultry raisers who have inspected it believe will i'll want in the industry. Other machines have been invented to do the work which Griggs provides for in his machine. but none has heretofore been anything more than an interesting piece of ma chinery with little practical worth.
 Griggs departs from the lines follow ed in other machines and introduces an entirely new method. The fowl to be plucked is placed on an endless travelling belt and carried through a series of fingers. which are so ar ranged that they go over the entire bird, plucking if clean of feathers. The danger of tearing the skin is avoided by the simple expedient of having the fingers clutch only few feathers at time. The size of the bird is no factor whatever IL will stay in the machine until plueked. whether large or small. A pneuinatic tube carries away the feathers as fast as they are removed. Griggs is civil engineer and never raised a chicken in his life. but he no- ticed a few years ago. while visiting a friend who runs q poultry farm. that the labor of removing feathers from the birds was one of the chief items of cost in preparing the product for mar ket. IL is said that the owner of one of his machines will be able to reduce his expenses by 20 per cent.

Ii cannot be that the butter fat In milk K obtained from the fat stored in the tissues of the COW, otherwise the animal would soon become emaciated. Cows obtain the butter fat in milk from the food they eat and digest and not from the reserve or accumulation of faf in their bodies. Reason as well as observation teaches that cows ex- tract butter fat from the food they consume and digest. and to produce Il large percentage of cream the rations of the COW should be rich in the eie- ments of nitrogen and carbohydrates, which are found in linseed meal, mid dlings. bran. eornmeal and ground oats. At the Cornell university cows that yielded 200 pounds of butter fat annu. ally under ordinary feeding yielded BIO pounds when given liberal rations of feed rich in nitrogen and carbohy- drates. Cream will not make butter unless It contains fat, and profitable fats will not be produced unless cows are fed on rations rich in the elements that produce cream

wy SHS0uQ fe0f.
 Toe Paleuse country in the far north west Is panorama of rolling hills. eheekered with sagebrush an.i great wheathelds- Close to those wastes of curious grayish tint are rich fields GOV cred with thick stands of wheat. The soil seems to have performed miracle in producing this lavish wealth. but those standing crops are an indisputa- bie proof of the triumph of dry farm ing. The fields are harvested only every second year and always plowe<i very deeply, the soil being thoroughly paiveriEed in the odd years.
 A thick blanket of dust covers the earth-eood fairy in dissuise. for that sast blanket protects the ground and preserves the moisture of the winter snows. Although very little rain fails during the growing season. this stored up moisture is sufficient nourishmeut Tor the production of . magnificent crop. The soil appears to have q vol canic ash that needs only seed and moisture to bear sbundantiy.
 
 In raising wheat here loss is occa- saoned from the action of windstoffns. which blow on the dust blanket and expose the seed. so every effort is made to keep the blanket on Instead of sowing two bushels of seed to ths acre. as in the east one bushei is here sufficient. The grain is cut by head CTS and combination haryesters and thrashers, which also sack it right in the field.
 There may be some waste from over ripe grain, but this method saves the cost of stacking and shocking and in some cases reseeis the ground. result ing in crop of young wheat very val uahle for forage. This wheat grass has the same effect as clover in ferti- liking. and the green fields add to the attraetivehess of the landscape. stand. ing side by side with fields of yellow wheat and black dust of summer fal- lowed tracts, with touch of sage brush now and then for contrast.
 When the sturdy German farmers from California first experimented in this country they incurred a great deal of ridicule. Now those very methods are producing thirty to forty bushels an acre. while the maximum cost of cultivation an acre Is $5. Such facts indicate why the western farmers are able to winter ill California or other favorite American pleasure resorts, run automobiles or even tour Europe and winter on the Riviera.
