Ida-Mrs. Sullivan-was firm, of

HOW FARMERS ARE ASSISTED

Scientists and inventors are respon-

farmer lessons of the greatest value.
The inventor has supplied thousands
Of useful ideas and labor saving de-
vices, SO that the work can be done
more effectively. with greater ease,
and on a bar larger scale than ever
before. He has shown the farmer
how the heaviest work can be done
by mechanical mean and has worked
out plans for obtaining the necessary
power from natural sources.
The scientist has shown that the
soil Is a wonder world, the mysteries
Of which are only partially mastered.
The mastery of the problems Of the

TEST POTATOES FOR STARCH
Department OF Agriculture Bulletin
Discusses Alcohol Making, Par
tieulariy From Spuds.
(By ". c.

The U. 8. department of agriculture
has issued Farmers Bulletin No. 410
on potato culls as q source of indus
trial alcohol. This bulletin discusses
alcohol making more particularly from
potatoes. The amount Of alcohol which
can be made from potatoes depends
upon the amount Of starch which the
tubers contain, just as butter making
depends upon the butter fat in the
milk or cream, says the Rural New
Yorker. Consequently in buying pota-
toes some quality test is required, just
as in the case of selling milk, the
Babcock test is applied to determine
the amount Of butter fat. The test for
potatoes is based on a specific gravity.
AS is known starch is heavier than wa
ter and will sink to the bottom and the
sample starch test is based on the dis
lance which the starch will fall in a
volume of water. The instrument
shown in the Illustration is used.
There is a small wire basket attached

TIMBERING BIG TUNNEL.

Tunnel No. l., on the mines4 SUBJ
urban line is being timbered for the
better safety of the road, and the
railroad people are making the best
kind of a job of the work. The tunnel
to all appearances is a most solid

of timbering 1t. But the Nevada
Northern is not taking any chances
In this respect and they are not
taking any chances either of accidents
while the work is being performed.
Two trainmen have been selected as

HOW FEDERAL ELY IS
SPENDING THE MONEY
PAYING FOR PROPERTY AND
DOING NO WORK ON ANY OF
ITS PROPERTY.

Considerable effort has been made
to obtain some information in re-
gard to the standing of the affairs of
the Federal Ely Copper company,
there being quite a number of stock
holders in this district. One of these,
NJ. Herman of McGill, in enclosing
his last assessment on the stocks of
the company made pertinent inquiry
in this direction, and Ia answer re-
eeived a letter from A. F. Strong, the
secretary, which may be of interest
from a literary standpoint; but
which contains very little informa-
ton desired by the stockholders.
The letter states that no work is
being done on the property of the
company, but that the money being
collected for assessments has been
applied to the payment of more prop
erty bought by the company. 1t
would be rather interesting to know
where this property is located and to
whom the money has been and is be-
ing paid to. Here is the letter:
Salt Lake City, Utah, April ~
Mr.. NJ. Herman, McGill, Nevada,
Dear Sir-l am in receipt of your
letter of the 18th in which you en-
close check to pay your assess
ment on Federal Ely stock. / would
advise that outside of doing the an
nual assessment work, the company
is doing nothing. The assessments
have been levied to take care of diff
ferent payments which are coming
due and which must be met.
You probably understand that
after the company was first formed,
additional property was purchased,
some of these properties has been
paid for in full by this time, and on
some of it there is still a small bal
due. 1t is to pay off part of
these balances that the company is
assessments. Most of the
money has been paid and the stock
holders would surely have a kick
IL the directors allowed these
different properties to go back to
their original owners. From the
received from Assessment No.
5 over 100000 was applied to these
miscellaneous debts.
Trusting this is the information
you desire, / beg to remain,
Yours truly,
FEDERAL ELY COPPER CO.,
A. T. Strong, Secretary.

HEROIC BURRO STOPS
TEAM OF RUNAWAY MACS

A team owned by Adams & Me-

and started not a little CONSERVATION
by just skirting several saloons. Tied
to the hind AK of the wagon by a
rope was a burro. He was MUNICH

sorrels started to get sporty. and for
the first two blocks of the runaway
the wonder was that he was not
checked to death. Before the sorrels
got Roadway on however the burro
was acting as a rudder, and steered
the runaway rig safely past Woods
and Stebbins saloons. switched the
sorrels safely beyond the Antler; and
then awoke to the fact that he was

Then the little burro, with an intel
ligence beyond his species of the
human kind. proceeded TO stop the
runaway horses. He pulled back and

kicked out the tailboard, and the
next moment was standing on his

on his caudle a%ppendage. His tail
was entangled with a rock, and the
rock being loosed from its moorlngs
hit the off sorrel. which made the
sorrel hot, and he turned around to
see what the--matter was. That
was the burro's opportunity. He Just
