SURVEYORS MAP

Southern Pacific surveyors were at
Fallon last Monday and did some pre-
liminary work in mapping out a route
for the spur line which will run from
the terminus of the Fallen branch to
the Heinze Brothers sugar beet mill.
1t is understood that the grading of
this extension win be commenced early
in the spring and the rails laid in
time for the first ear of sugar in the
fall.
California capitalists have bought
TIL Lighthouse ranch and declared
their intention of putting $50 acres
under beet sugar cultivation next sea-
son. This acreage, added to the i'm
mense tracts of the Truckee-Carson
reclamation lands devoted to the same
industry, will bring the total number
of acres under beet sugar cultivation
up to more than 10000, and all of it
within hauling distance of the mill.
1t is estimated that the mill will
turn out in excess of $4,000, 900
pounds of sugar annually, or about
four cars daily during the season.

Dresden's Fine Points.
BY REV. DIR. Il. c. BASS.

It halted at our feet and held our
gaze for a week, and every day this
city of art, and culture, and enterprise
grew upon us. How can 500,000 peo-
pie have so clean and sweet streets?
There is less in Dresden to offend the
senses than in any other city on either
side of the ocean. No wonder that
resident Americans love their adopted
home, and many come hither to tarry
days and weeks. 1t is a great show,
every way first class-just the win
dow exhibits of one of those streets!
The finest of goods and iewelry and
pictures, most attractively arranged,
all along the way for blocks If New
York and Chicago have as fine goods
on sale, their store windows are not
so rich to the eyes Of gazers and pass
ers-by.
The picture gallery is Dresden's
finest show. No words can adequate
ly describe any great or beautiful
thing. We must see and feel in or
der to see we'll. Hundreds Of these
paintings are Su llllt lHdJ any Dllt Vi
them would be q great treasure in
home or in a small collection, but in
such a wilderness of pictures very
few really attract attention and abide
in the memory of the sightseer. The
following held us: 'The Tribute
Money" "Judas Bargaining With the
Jewish Rulers, "Chrlst Among the
Doctors of the Law" and the "Sistine
Madonna" This last is counted Ra-
phael's masterpiece. Once seen, il
must remain a cherished memory.
The authorities we're wise in assign
ing to this picture room by itself.
But my very amateur opinion is that
they can and should be wiser still.
The light does not properly fall upon
this canvas. A different room-one
very differently lighted-is needed. A
score or two of people can sit or stand
in this room, but only one good view
point can be found, and hardly half
dozen can get that viewpoint at once
and that one viewpoint is not good
enough. Yet, to see this one picture
little, and to see it imperfectly, pays
for long journey. Luther and Ra-
phael were born in the same year
G4S3), and both wrought greatly for
their own day and for all later ages.

had chance to walk home with her,
and when one of his companions
called him teachers pet he fought
with him, and when the others inter-
fered he fought with them and was
only subdued when swiftly thrown
stone knocked him senseless. That
hurt kept him in bed for almost a
week, and Ellen Burrill came to see
him and brought him a big orange
and q little bunch of flowers and a
glass of jelly, and read to him from
wonderful book called Ivanhoe.' She
let him take the book when he was
well and he read it lovingly every
word. Then came another wonderful
book, The Last Days Of Pompeii,' and
after this there were histories and
Plutarch. He fairly devoured them
all, the teacher-he was as tall as
she was when he was twelve-helping
him by suggestion and explanation
and frequently testing his knowledge.
His association with her had i'm
proved him in other ways. He was
more careful about his personal ap-
pearance and his manners must have
improved greatly. Chances came to
him to earn small sums of money on
the outside. He worked hard. He
studied hard. He meant to rise. He
was eager to get out into the world

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Love is a habit Get it.
"A perfect man is never interesting.
Some men in hunting for dear Of
ten get swamped.
Women delight in remnants of any
thing but a man
Marriage is often the chief mourner
at loves funeral.
Love is the loaf of life, but some
cannot even get slice.
The evil men do is forgotten, but
with woman it becomes history.
A muff is receptacle for a girls
lunch and sometimes for "holding
hands"
To woman moon without man
is like mine of money on a desert
island
When a songbird seems to warble
inwardly presumably she is the un-
derstudy.
Strong men are not afraid of box
ing gloves, but let girl give them
the mitten and they go to pieces.
A girl, no matter how much in love
she is, would rather share a mans
theatre tickets than his troubles.
People who live in air castles are
seldom troubled with any sort of
"draughts."
At the. foot of life's primer class
stands the mistaken man who thinks
he knows it all.
Once man told secret to dumb
woman. He forgot she could talk on
her fingers.
The most fascinating thing about
being woman is wondering what
fool thing she will do next.
If he be not nice to me, what care
how nice he be?-is the way girl
sizes up the man proposition.
One of the psychological mysteries
is what makes blondined woman
always wear blue earrings.
The red headed girl adores the con-
siderate person who speaks of her
carroty hair as being auburn"
Sometimes absence maketh the
heart to ponder On whether perma-
rent change wouldn't be an improve
| ment.
If brothers talked to other girls as
they do to their own sisters very few
men would succeed in persuading
anybody to marry them.-From

York Telegram.

Losses i'm Manure.

One of our experiment stations has
shown by careful investigation that
when the stable manure is piled up
and left exposed to the rains the loss
from teaching of the fertile elements
is very large. The New Jersey station
finds that manure exposed for 100
days lost over one-half Of nitrogen,
one-half of the phosphoric acid and
the same proportion of the potassium
had been lost. More than one-half
of the constituents had been lost by
an exposure of less than four pounds.
Work from other experiment stations
confirms this.
A great deal of valuable manure is
also lost in badly arranged stables,
where there are poor facilities for re-
covering the manure. The valuable
liquid manure is lost by drainage.
The best way to save all the fertile
elements in manure is to haul it on
the fields and meadows and spread it
evenly over the land. Washed into
the soil 1t is preserved for the next
crop.

rlain Horse Sense.

Gentle colts make gentle horses.
An eXcitable and nervous horseman
usually owns horses of the same tenn
perament
We never yet have seen the colt
that could not be turned into a pet by
| kind words and gentle handling
If You want horse trained to suit
you in every respect you must do the
training yourself, and begin when he
is sucking colt
A severe or so-called safety" bit
often causes horse to become vi
cious or unruly. Be sure the animal
needs such bit before you use it on
| him.
Don't try to shun the automobiles.
They've come to stay, and the sooner
we train our teams to drive past one
without being frightened, the better
for us, the horse and the autolsts.
Get rid of the kicky horse at once.
He may be valuable as far as his
working qualities go, but il some of
the children should happen to stray
up behind his heels you may regret
having kept him-after it is too late.
We frequentlysee man 90 strike
his horse with a whip and then yank
the poor, dumb animal back when he
plunges and tries to get free. Such a
man ought to be knocked down right
on the spot, and kicked time or two
for falling so hard.
When the skittish horse SHES or
gets scared, handle him gently and
speak kindly to him for a few sec
onds, instead of whipping, Jerking
and talking in loud tone, as most
men do. Soothe him, rather than un-
nerve and excite him by causing him
to think he Is going to be hurt.
The balky horse is nuisance you
cannot afford to waste time with on
the farm-nor any place else, for that
matter Usually, the poor animal has
been ruined beyond redemption by
overlooking, and the sooner you get
rid of him the quicker you'll make
big saving in time and temper. Be-
sides you don't want him to spoil an
other good pulling horse, and that is
Just what he is liable to do If you
keep him.
The man who flies into a passion
and kicks his faithful horse in the
handiest place ought to be forced to
remove his shoes and stockings and
repeat the operation barefoot, or have
some one administer a sound kick on
the same part of his anatomy that he
kicked the horse. 1t might show him
the error of his way. In fact it would
seem a good thing If the owner were
compelled to take the place of the
horse now and ther. It would be far
better for the horse at least.
The horse that seems to be suscep-
tible to frequent attacks of the collie
is risky piece of flesh tokeep around
the farm. The fatality Of this dis
ease is sometimes so sudden that
there is little chance of securing the
services of a veterinarian, or of ad-
ministering relief at stage that
would be Of any benefit. Such an ami
NAL usually has some striking good
qualities about him, but you can't let
these tempt you TO hold onto him till
his loss is total to you. Sen him, get
4 healthy animal, and be on the safe
side of the fence.-M. Albertus Cow

Breeds and Laying Capacity.

Laying capacity varies greatly
among individual hens. This has
been discovered by the use of trap
nests. Experiment station records
SHOW that hens vary from $50 eggs
per year to no eggs. Frequently
good looking hen, in good health, will
not pay for the food she eats, while
another hen of the same breed and
with the same care, will lay eggs
worth three or four times the cost OF
the food.
IL is not known that theresis a
type or shape characteristic OF heavy
laying hens, otherwise It would be an
easy matter to rid the flock of the
Improbable fowls. The use OF the
trap nest involves considerable labor,
more than farmer. keeping only
few hens, can proiltably give, but he
should endeayor to secure "pedi-
greed" males from some of the expert
ment stations or from reputable pri-
vate breeders in order to breed up the
laying qualities of his fock.
The smaller breeds, such as Leg
horns, are usually the most profit
able for egg production. The Leg
horns should lay as many eggs as the
Plymouth Rocas and breeds OF that
kind on one-fourth less food. But
the question of profit does not hinge
on egg yield alone. Large returns
will be secured from the sales of the
Plymouth Rocks for market, which
will about balance the difference in
the cost of feeding, Weekly Witness.

my father was a poor boy" he
presently began. His home was a
poor one, there were other children
and he knew but little parental re-
straint. He grew up wild and law
less-if the term can be applied to a
child. His days in school were stormy
ones, and usually there was punish
ment waiting for him when he
reached home. But somehow he
managed to keep his place through
the primary and intermediate grades
and finally found himself in the high
est or grammar grade. He was ten
years old, rude and mischievous, and
preferring school because it was more
comfortable than home. One day,
after he had been especially annoy
ing, gentle hand was laid on his
shoulder, and looking up, he saw a
new teacher smiling down at him. He
cringed, expecting blow, but the
new teacher only looked down and
said: I want to talk to you after
school, That talk after school was
something my father will always re-
member. 1t was the first time that
anybody had thought it worth while
to speak to him pleasantly. 1t was
not sermon that he received in that
memorable half hour. The new
teacher talked to him about himself
about the great world outside, its
chances, its rewards. Somehow she
contrived to arouse the boys ambi-
ton. He suddenly felt that he was
meant for better and bigger things
