WOMAN is AFRAID To GO To RENO



While the subject of divorce has been
pretty fully discussed in current maga.
zines and newspapers OF late, il has re-
mained for a Tonopah housewife, by
inquiry, to suggest a further develop
ment and phase of the practice hereto
fore unthought of. Laboring under
some doubt as to the exact state of the
law and conditions in Reno, this woman
asks whether If she moves to Reno with
her husband there will be any danger
that they will be compelled to become
divorced. The letter follows:
Tonopah, April 80. 1911.
my Dear Mr.. Journal-We have
worked hard good many years. Now
we got q few thousand dollars. My
husband wants to have home in Reno.
| am thinking the lawyers might make
us get divorce if we were to come.
"Will you kindly let me know if l
come to Reno with my husband aud the
court finds we have lots of money, they
will make us get a divorce"
The name of the correspondent is
withheld out of consideration for her,
because Of the good faith of the inquiry
is apparent.
The answer, of course. is that there
is no law to make persons get divorces
any more than there il law to make
them get married.-Reno Journal.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
Dry Forming In Nevada


In nearly every section Of Nevada
experiments are being carried on in dry
farming. There will be some success;
there will also be recorded failures.
Some districts of this State are not
adapted to dry farming, while others
that have been neglected will produce
results that will bring forth pay for
the effort. The proposition is worth
the time and energy spent. The un
fortunates who happen to go broke on
the new farming will have a hard luck
story to tell. but the successful farmer
will be heralded as an upbuilder.
Nothing succeeds like success and
nothing hits q section as hard as
failure. In few years data will be at
hand by the experimental farms that
will prevent failures and build success.
This is one Of the most important
branches in Nevada's upbuilding aud
every section should be given the test.
One farm in a community is as good as
gold mine, and often results in more
good to a community Carson Appeal

STOCKMEN LOSE FIGHT
United States Supreme Court De-
cides Forest Reserves Under
Government Control

By holding that the Federal Govern
ment, without consent Of the State af.
fected, may set aside vast areas of
public lands as forest reserves and that
such reserves are not subject to the
State fencing laws, the Supreme Court
of the United States has just settled
two important Western issues.
Justice Lamar said the United States
had the absolute right to do what it
pleased with its own property; the
Constitution had given it such power.
This control, the Justice said, was not
q right incident 10 sovereignty as
claimed by the opponents OF the reser.
vations, but was the exercise of right
which every citizen possessed.
Held In Trust
"All the public land is held by the
United States in trust for the whole
people and IL is not for the Court to
say how that trust shall be administer
cd; that is for Congress to say"
The constitutionality of the vast for
est reservation Of the West and the
validity OF the modern conservation
policy, were raised early in this case
In the Circuit Court of the United
States for the District of Colorado.
Begins In Colorado
The United States Government had
brought suit to enjoin Fred Light, a
Colorado cattleman, from causing or
permitting his cattle to trespass upon
the Holy Gross Forest Reserve in Colo
RADIO. A stubborn contest arose and
among the other defenses put forth by
Light was the one that the formation of
the Holy Gross Reserve without the
consent of the State of Colorado was
unconstitutional AS the other vast
reserves in the West had been formed
by a similar process of Federal action
in withdrawing public land from entry,
the argument applied by analogy to
them. The injunction was granted
and an appeal was taken to the Su-
preme Court OF the United States.

DISEASES IN WATER TRoUGHs
Drinking Places Along Roads for Horses Should Not Be Encour-
 aged-A Better Method.

Use buckets. Drinking troughs for horses along a much-used road should not be encouraged. They are the means by which glanders and distem- per are transmitted from one horse to another. Many a valuable horse has had to be killed because of this dis ease.
 The cost of installing a water sys- tenn would not be large in proportion to the benefit derived. There would have to be windmill and a tank. If close to a city water-works system a small pipe line could be run along the road and hydrant used to supply the water.
 The drivers could carry collapsible buckets and water the horses from these. This method would eliminate all danger from disease, and the cost would be small.

dangers for the brave, an unknown world to conquer and room for all"
 In the swift march of national events during the past decade, the development of the west has focused the attention of the world. It fur nishes one of the most inspiring pages In the annals of our commonwealth. It is a story of progress and human achievements battle with nature in her sternest and most forbidding as- pect.
 But irrigation has wrought its mir acle, and the wealth of that portion of the country which great statesmen tn Webster's day were wont to de- clare worthless Is greater now than that of the entire nation in 1860. Of especial interest is the project located In northern Wyoming.
 As the springtime> showers and sunshine fall upon the snowy peaks of the lofty mountains on the eastern rim of Yellowstone park, thousand streams rush downward to i'll to brimming the swift-howing Shoshone river. An important physical change will occur at such a time. The flood that once, unchecked and uncon- trolled, swept madly through the rock walled gorge, will beat itself to still ness against a massive wall of con- crete with which man has blocked the canyon. A beautiful lake, 100 feet deep and covering 10 square miles, will appear.
 In this wonderful gash in the noun tains, with perpendicular walls thou sand feet high, the government has erected the highest dam in the world. It is a wedge of concrete BPS feet from base to top. It's height can only be appreciated when compared with that well-mown structure, New York's famous Flatiron building would reach within 47 feet of the top of the dam, and the tip-top of the dome of the United States capitol would fal1 21 feet short of the parapet
 In the summer, when the crops are thirsty, the big gates will be opened and the pent-up floods will be released Into the river below. Another dam, Ia low structure of concrete, will di- vert the waters through a tunnel three ad a quarter miles long into a canal which for 40 miles passes along the upper edge of broad and fertile valley containing 10000 acres.
 Two years ago 1t was a desolate waste. Today it contains more than 200 farm houses and three thriving towns. Last year 10000 acres pro duced crops on this project. The bea- con of hope shines brightly in the west. It beckons the landless man to the manless land.

bones of a prehistoric man buried 170 feet deep under terrace, which is re- garded, and with good reason, as the ancient bed of the Thames river.
 There is no reason to believe that the elevation or depression of the land, which leads to the rise and fall in the level of the river, has not been uniform. The past must be judged from what we know of The present, and on this basis the land movement which formed the terrace, and which has scarcely changed since the Roman period, has been deposited at the rate of one foot in 1000 years, this as- signing a period of at least 17O,000 years since the high-level terrace was laid down at Galley Hill, and the an- cient Briton was entombed in the river bed.
 This ancient Briton was five feet one inch in height. The neck was enormously thick and the chest was narrow and protruding.

Diversity of Crops.

Every farmer who starts to diversi- fy his crops should adopt a minor TO- tation. In other words, build a fence around some small pieces of ground handy to his building, to be used in time as hog pasture, place for growing potatoes and perhaps for a special patch of seed corn. A pig that Is fed grain all his life usually fails to pay expenses. One which is given the run of such a pasture until he is up to 150 pounds weight along with some grain feed will be produced very much more cheaply and econom- Ically.
 Alfalfa may prove to be a practical hog pasture for this part of the state. If it does not you will be able to grow good pasture by sowing a mixture of two pounds dwarf essex rape, a bushel of barley, a bushel of field peas and little millet seed per acre.

Female eipsy Moth.

Rocky moutaA>% and while every ef- fort has been AJade to trace these importations and inspect and disinfect them the probability of many unre- ported shipments or inefficient inspec tion is very great.
 A general warning is therefore giv- en to all users of such imported plant stock, namely, to nurserymen, fruit raisers, and Purchasers of ornamen- tsls for city or part planting, to keep all such imported stock under strict watch to see that these pests do not develop.
 It is scarcely necessary to comment on the tremendous danger which the importations of nursery stock of the last three seasons have brought to this country. The enormous cost of the gipsy moth and the brown-tail moth in New England is now well known. Throughout the infested dis tricts of New England orchards have been completly destroyed and forests largely obliterated, and even where woodlands and parks have been pro- tected at an enormous expense their beauty and value have been vastly lessened.
 Massachusetts has spent millions of dollars in an effort to control these pests, and with their spread to other states the work of control has been taken up in these also. The National government has been asked to come to the rescue, and is now appropriat- ing $30O,O00 year in the mere at tempt to check the distribution of these pests along the principal high ways. Massachusetts and the other infested New England states are now spending more than a million dollars year in control work. In spite of these efforts and thi5 enormous ex-

 Recently this feather has been made a trife larger until the leaders of fashion have accepted 1t as permanent feature of the thoroughly up-to-date hat.
 The most striking of the new hats are in the shape of the foreign Alpine hat which comes in all colors and can be had with any style of trimming de- sired. One shown is of a light pearl gray and trimmed with a dark green plume, with light border of rich yell low. A Paris milliner would call it striking.
 The same style with a long green quille makes another combination be- coming to many faces. The Alpine hat admits of almost unlimited changes and will permit well-dressed men to show as much individuality in the mat ter of hats as women do now.
 The dent-crown imported soft hat shown, with a novelty wing, is of dark gray and comes in many pretty shades of brown, which will harmon Ize well with the newer fabrics which the tailors have been importing for spring suits. Wearers of the always formal silk hat will also be able to take advantage of fashions latest caprice and will not be denied the privilege of ornamenting 1t.
 Dignif1ed white and gray aigrettes and other more conservative feathery effects can be added to the latest French style with the fiat brim. with out defying the mandates of Dame Fashion.

Turkey Hens Are TImId.

The turkey hen is always anxious to lay her eggs where no one will find them, and sometimes those that lay early in the spring will steal their nests ip some out-of-the-way place, where the owner will not find them until the first eggs laid are destroyed by the cold. This emphasizes the tm- portance of watching the hens closely, and locating the nests early. The eggs should be taken away after the hen has left the nest each day. Hard boiled duck eggs, or even large hens eggs, hard-boiled, should be put in their places to satisfy the layer.
 It is not wise to go near these nests while the hens are on them, or to remove the eggs while the hens are in the vicinity. If they discover that the nests are found they are quite likely to steal others and abandon the first

ness of these pests to orchards and forests, their establishment in any suburban residential district means an enormous depreciation in property val ues, as is now illustrated about the city of Boston, and very notably less ems the attractiveness of coast or mountain summer resorts. The north shore towns of Massachusetts and low CT Maine resorts have already felt this influence, and for such regions as the Catskills or Adirondacks the estab- lishment of these pests would be most disastrous, inasmuch as control over such extended forested mountains is practically impossible.
 When it is realized that these two pests have bees widely distributed, on imported nursery stock, in 22 states during the years of 1909 and 1910, and are now coming in on imported stock from France and Belgium, the danger to the whole country is fully apparent, and this danger applies to every or chard and to every owner of private grounds and also to our entire forest domain. The tax from these pests, should they gain foothold throughout the country, as measured by the ex- isting cost in New England, is almost beyond estimate.
 In addition to the great monetary loss, the brown-tail moth exercises a very deleterious effect on health. The

SELECT EGGS FOR MATCHING
Those From Hen Fully Grown ana Matured Will Naturally Give
 Most Satisfactory Results.
By R. G. wEATHERsToNE.)

q. E.y
 You cannot raise good chickens from poor eggs. If you are satisfied with the mixed breeds, good, bad and indifferent, we can give you very little advice as to their management. Ii you propose to raise good chickens, fowls that will make maximum of the greatest number of eggs, or pro- duce the greatest pounds of meat, select your breed and then buy pure bred eggs. You can only get these by buying from breeders whose in- tegrity is unquestioned and who are ready to guarantee that their eggs will produce birds true to type.
 Insist upon having eggs from hens and not from young bullets. Eggs from a hen that is fully grown and matured will naturally produce more birds and stronger birds than eggs from bullets who are still in a state oi growth.
 Sometimes, it is true, that bullet eggs hatch out well, but they do not produce birds with the vigor and stamina that come from mature eggs, And you will find that the chicks from bullet eggs will be more subject to disease and more will die.
 If you have a good breed and raise your own eggs. separate the best hens of your flock and select the best eggs from these. Never set an egg from a hen that is puSly, or that has had a touch of disease at any time or that is in any way deformed, no. matter how slightly.

Clover hay is not green food, but 1t is a pretty good substitute for poul- try. Steam or scald the shattered leaves or run some of the hay through a feed cutter and scald it after it has been cut up. Sometimes we add enough middlings, ground oats or bran to make a crumbly mash, and feed in troughs. When we haven't any time to scald the clover we gather up big basket of the leaves from the barn floor and scatter it in the houses. The hens scratch among it for seeds and hulls, and it is surprising how much of 1t they will eat

Sheridan, Wyo.@Once a wilderness so unpromising that 1t evoked deri- sion in the halls of congress, the west has become today the land of fortune and opportunity. In this land of boundless distances the altitude is stimulating, the air is a tonic, giving health to the infirm and courage to those who have failed elsewhere. It's constant sunshine encourages optim- ism and cheerfulness. The glories of its opal-tinted dawns, the indescrib- able beauty of its sunsets and the nameless witchery of it's twilight soft 1y melting into night are the work of . divine painter.
 Its canyons, sculptured during un- told centuries by wind and wave, are unrivaled in their wonderful and varied coloring and in their awe-in- spring depths. It's deserts, in vast ness of area, in potential wealth of soil and climate, and in rivers of con stant supply, are sleeping empires awaiting exploitation and develop ment. Here nature offers to every man his birthright-a wide sky, the sunshine, the wind and a sure reward for intelligent effort. It is our own land of mystery and enchantment, of crumbling ruins and of lost races which have utterly vanished.
