Installing
Hay Cutting
Machine

vhe new hay cutting machine pur
chased throug s. R. Young for John
G. Taylor Is being installed on the
latters ranch In the valley. Mr..
Taylor is having a twenty-five hp
gasoline engine fitted up to furnish
the motive power for the hay cutter.
These hay cutting machines are
quite numerous in California. but
this Is the first one to be used in
ILovelock. 1t will doubtless be
watched with interest by other farm
ers of the valley and If it proves to
be a success. there will no doubt
be many installed, The cutter cuts
the hay up fine so that it can be
fed to stock, with the greatest am
cunt Of nutrition. Grain is fed into
the cutter with the hay and thus a
most nourihsing Ingredient is Sc
cured.

WANDERED IN THE TULE
SWAMP ALL night;
LOST IN THE FOG

Last Thursday night Arthur Gree
had an experience which he will not
soon forget and which might have
been far more disasterous than ii
was. While out on a hunting trip
at the sink, he got lost In the fog
and was compelled to wade around
the mud and slush of the lake all OF
the night and portion of the next
day, when the fog finally lifted and
he found his way out
Thursday morning he had starte,
for the Humboldt lake on hunting
trip alone ,as he had often done.
He did not return that night, but
his folks did not worry about him
thinking that he was safe at some
ranch house In the Lower Valley tC
spend the night, but the next day
when he did not show up and moth
Ing could be heard from him, his
folks became worried and searcl
ing party was sent out.
Upon arriving at the lake the par
ty could, at first, find nothing of tn
