Power For Domestic Use.

To-day the labor problem is |
the most serious one that con
fronts the farmer. Such help as
he can secure is often the poor
est kind and most evanescent
quality. These men lack the
necessary skill to do profitable
work and the necessary know
ledge to be safely entrusted with
the high priced horses and farm
machinery now common on the
farm where help is needed. AS
their employment on the farm is
generally of the most temporary
character they do not seek to inn
prove eitherin knowledge or skill
and the farmer finds their SER
vices expensive and simply puts
up" with them because he is
compelled to do so. If the far
mer has serious troubles of this
kind which are constantly grow
ing rather than decreasing what
can be said about those of the
farmers wife? He can have the
slim satisfaction of knowing that
his troubles with the help prob
lem are acute during only a
portion of the year but her own
go on forever. Relief is being
sought by both members of the
| firm and naturally, both turn to-
wards the point of least resist
ance and buy improved ma
chinery. With this, much can
and will be done towards the
solution of this problem yet it
remains problem.
A young farmer in Brown
county, Kansas, has gone at this
matter in the right way, though
his way has something of a novel
ty in it, Recognizing his wife
as his partner in business and
that, as such, she was entitled to
what help machinery could give,
he has so arranged matters that
all of her heavy work is done
with gasoline engine power. To
do this he built a house of two
rooms with cement floor and
plastered walls. In one of these
he installed the engine and con
nected it with line shafting which
extends into the other room
Here is placed the washing ma
chine. the churn, the cream sep
arator, the wringer, the hot
water tank and the laundry tubs
When wash day comes the prep
arations are made and the engine
started. No further care is
needed until the washing is done
The time is greatly reduced an6
the back breaking job of rub bins
the clothes is eliminated. TIL,
machine is always ready and al
ways willing. 1t needs no at
tention except to start and stol
it. The room in which the worl
is all done is clean and neat as 4;
pin. It's cement floor permit:
of it being flushed out with hos
daily. AS an after thought tn

is not the point. He considers
his wife first and in doing sc

ponds upon the enterprise of the

not reach out after the trade it

to, and it will grow as it is forced
to. But if the merchants go

PROSPEROUS FERNLEY.
Railroad Work Is Representation
Acres Will Be Planted to Apples.

The Fernley valley is OH the boom and
is enjoying its share of the great wave of
prosperity which is sweeping over the
country, saws a correspondent of the
Journal.
The Fernlev-Lassen Railroad Compa-
nv has about rs men at the station un-
loading rails for the new road, about l20
cars of steel have been piled up and
more space is being prepared to accom-
modate the balance The ground near
the station house is assuming the gen
eral appearance of a construction camp.
1t is understood that the present force
of men will be doubled in short time.
The ranchers throughout the valley
are busy clearing and leveling land, and
according to present indications about
500 acres will be sown to alfalfa this
coming spring.
If the people of Nevada want pleas

years and then cast their minds eve
into the very near future and behold the
greatest agricultural section OF this to
be great state.
The success which the fruit grow
ers on the Truckee river experienced this
year has awakened lively interest in
this section in fruit growing, and about
100 acres of apples will be set out this
spring,
This valley will in time become one
of the greatest fruit growing sections OF
| the United States. With its perfect all
and water drainage and freedom from
damaging frosts at the critical time OF
the year, fruit growing near Fernley
will be one long drawn out pleasure in
stead of a nerve-racking siege of strenu,
Gus effort.

section has been taken, still every da,

Back From Mt. Grant.

Alex Cameron returned Wednesday
from a trip to the Mt. Grant district.
Alex had rather a strenuous time going
up. He had green team and it was
dark when he came to the Montelle
grade, where the road wound along the
top of hog back. The team kept get
ting off the road, and as Alex had his
shoulder put out recently, he was not
able to manage them very we'll. Finally
he was forced to unhitch the team, leave
the wagon and ride couple of miles to
Hicks place. He reports that the claim

| The outstanding features of President
Taft's message, sent to congress Tues
day, are these:
He. declares it is time to stop legislat-
ing with reference to regulation of cor
porations, and to witness the effect of a
vigorous execution of the laws already
on the statute books. The exact linlita-
ton upon business methods imposed by
pending decisions of the supreme court .
! Just at this time, the president says,
| he believes the activities of the govern
ment, i'll accordance to the laws, should
! be directed toward economy of admins
| tration, the enlargement of opportuni-
! ties for foreign trade, the building up of
home industries and the strengthening
of the confidence of capital in domestic
investment
| Mr.. Taft recommends strongly some
comprehensive form of ship subsidy to
| increase American shipping, especially
| to South America.
The tariff board is not ready to sub
NIT report on any of the schedules of
the PAYNE law, and Mr. Taft saws he
will not recommend any tariff legisla-
| tion until the new congress convenes in
December, 1911.
He urges that the tariff board be made
permanent, and that all future changes
be made schedule by schedule. He vig-
| orously opposes any general revision.
The Panama canal should be fortified
An appropriation of SIG, 600, 600 is rec
commended for this purpose.
There must be no more pork barrel
methods in river and harbor and public
building bills. The latter should be
based upon the report of committee of
experts. In the past congress has ap-
propriated too much for buildings not
needed, and not enough for buildings
badly needed
1t is proposed that second-class mail
rates be readjusted so as to charge mag
azines a much higher rate OH their adj
vertising sections.
Strong representations are made for
the establishment of new banking and
currency system.
Two new vessels and auxiliary cruis-
ers are recommended for the navy.

II Blind n1an Wbo "See$"

He passed the examination for admis-
sion to the University of California,
which he expected to attend but fnan-
cial reverses made this impossible. Aft
er graduating from school he went to the
Home for the Adult Blind at Oakland
California, and there learned four trades
broom making, mattress making,
hammock making and cane seating of
chairs.
Billy also took piano lessons and voice
c ulture for about three years, and with
these accomplishments he has since
made his living.
In the latter part of his school years
he spent his spare time roaming about
the hills of Berkeley, at one time, with
a blind companion, walking to Walnut
Greek, distance OF nineteen miles.
Since the age of fifteen he has travelled
without the aid of seeing guidance, and
can today go to any part of Berkeley,
Oakland or San Francisco without aid.
There is a possibility that some day
Billy may recover the sight of his re-
naming eye-the left one. Over it is
an exaggerated cataract or film. Some
doctors claim that if this film were re-
moved the eve would run out, while
others believe that such an operation
would restore the sight.
An experience which he had five years
ago, May oath, convinces Billy that there
is sight IN the eye. He was sitting at
window facing the west in the Mer-
chants Hotel at Tonopah. The sun
was shining through the window and
suddenly he saw a fash of light as
plainly as he ever saw it before he be-
came totally blind. He believes that
sudden flood of light caused a contrac-
tion of the muscles of the eve, which
created temporary break or hssure in
the film.
Whether or not he is ever able to see
again Billy Brooks can take care of him
self as well as the average man, and he
is decidedly above the average i'll intelli-
gence and refinement.

sites be disposed of in the future by
leasing.
Regarding the Panama canal, the
president says:
The progress of the work is most
satisfactory 1t will be completed we'll
within the time set, January |, 1915, and
within the estimated cost of 1915, 900, O0O
The slides in Culebra cut offer no great
reason for delay
Failure to fortify the canal would leave
the United States powerless to enforce
the universal and equal use of the water
way against desperate and irresistible
enemy and would defeat the object of
the canal in increasing the military eff
fectiveness of the American navy. The
tolls should not exceed 81 per net ton.
The president should be authorized to
adjust the rates as necessity arises. The
government should include in its man
agement of the canal the furnishing, not
only to the navy, but to the public as
well, dry docks and repair facilities and
the sale of coal, oil and ship supplies
Interstate railroads should be pre-
vented from owning or controlling ships
trading through the canal
Regarding the courts, the president
declares the crying need of the United
States is cheapening the cost of litiga-
ton by simplifying judicial procedure
and expediting final Judgment The
salaries of federal Judges should be in
creased
Postal savings banks should be estab-
lished in a number of cities January |.
A parcels post on rural delivery routes
is recommended. Postmaster General
Hitchcock is given high praise for put
ting the postoffice department on self
sustaining basis. The extension of the
civil service to include all classes of post
masters, thus taking these officials en-
tirely out of politics, is urged.
The president asks congress to give
some fitting acknowledgment to the po-
lar discoveries of Commander Peary.
/ The secretary of the navy suggests that
I Peary be made rear admiral and placed
upon the retired list.
The stupendous value of the agricul-
tural products, amounting to more than
sS, 926, 900, 600 this year, indicates good
prospect for business throughout the
country.
