SCIENTIFIC FARMING.
The Most Prosperous Farmers Are
the Ones Who Farm Scien-
tifically.

Of all the Farmers Institutes eveI
held in Monroe City the one held
on Wednesday and Thursday of
last week was the most largely at
tended by the farmers, and every
farmer went away with some infor-
nation which will enable him to
make more money farming and al
so will aid him in making farm life
more pleasant. Surely such meet
ings do good. They benefit all who
attend and then indirectly help
everyone in a community in which
they are held
The State sends out men who are
practical and specialists in the lines
which they discuss This being
trOe they are able to make sugges-
tions which will enable the farmers
to grow more grass, corn, hay, bet
ter stock and to know how to so
manage the soil as to build it up,
make it more fertile and thereby
raise better and larger crops. Sure
ly this is of interest to the man on
the farm.
Farming is coming into its own.
The people in the cities are begin
ming to realize that the farmer is
the man who leads the most indie
pendent life and if he will only farm
scientifically will also be the most
profitable. The day of big farms
has passed and the man with
small farm well tillsd is the man
who most enjoys-iife. Don't imag-
inc, however, the entire life of the
farmer is sunshine. There must be
the shadows and the dark days.
We have these in all avocations.
The AU-Wise Creator so planned it
that we would thereby enjoy the
sunshine the more. Some localities
boast of their sunshine. Here we
have the rain and the sunshine
both being necessary to the growing
of crops which make tilling the soil
profitable. Here we have the eli
mate and the soil which cause grea t
crops to grow and mature. Here
we row the finest crops and stock
of all kinds. Here is the place
fal ind is most profitable, 1t will
be more profitable when all the
farmers attend such meetings as we
had here and then study farming
more scientifically. The Democrat
can aid the farmers very much in
their march toward more proSperi-
ty for the farmers. We are willing,
yea anxious, to help you We can
not do much without your hearty
cooperation and assistance.
Write out where your failures and
successes were in order that your
neighbor may profit by your exper-
fence. Then he doing the same
will aid you. We want to help you
and we want you to help us to help
you. Will you dc it?

every one laughed, and sent her off
again TO wash her race
That night everything was different
in the department There had been
real miracle of TRANSPORTATION. The
whole air of intercourse was chang
ed. All the girls were gentle and
dignified with each other. Catrinas
eyes sparkled with pleasure Her
careworn air was gone. She was a
child again She had never had any
physical loneliness before; but on
that night hundreds of passing shop
pers looked with attention at the de-
light and beauty of her face
On the next day everything went
on as before. The girls snapped at
each other and sjostled each other.
The beautiful manager swore. One
girl came, looking so i'll that Miss
Johnson was terrified.
Cant you stop, Kitty? You look
so sick. For heavens sake, go home

Cross and snappish as the girls
were, they managed to spare Kitty,

ceal her idleness from the floor walk

casional rest sitting down. She went
through the first hours Of the morn
ing as best she might, though clearly
under pressure of sharp suffering
But at about ten the tloor-walker, for
whom it must be said that he was
responsible for the sales and general
presentability Of the department, saw
her sitting down why aren't you
busy" he called Get up"
At midnight on Christmas eve as
the still crowd OF girls walked wanly
out OF the great store into the bril-.
liant New York street some one said
How are you, Kitty"
She made no reply for minute.
Then she said wretchedly OH hope
I'll be dead before the next Christ

The Christmas Dinner

IN spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook,
Il will not be fair for many to lay
the blame on the cook If they begin
the Christmas Dinner with little APP
petite and end II with distress or
nausea. Il may not be fair for any
to do that-let us hope so for the
sake of the cook The disease dys-
pepsia indicates a bad stomach, that
is a weak stomach, rather than bad
cook. and for weak stomach there
Ii nothing else equal to Hoods Sar'
saparilla Il gives the stomach vigor
and tone. cures dyspepsia, creates
appetite and makes eating the pleas
ure II should be.

A. w. Sharman. inventor of system
Of sending telephone messages by wire

musical notes, chords and even tunes
from wireless station on land to
ships at sea and from one ship to an
other. BY means of his invention he
expects soon to be able to furnish
ships with a receiving instrument con-
structed somewhat like an ordinary
piano. from which brass band. string
orchestra and piano music may be ex-
tracted at the will Of the wireless op-
orator. miles away.
In making the experiments Mr.. Shar
man replaced the microphone. the in
strument used for telephoning. by an
electric reed or trumpet. which was
connected with an ordinary telegraph
key. A small screw or regulator was
connected with the reed, which when
turned caused the note to vary In
pitch. This apparatus. which was at
the land station. was connected with
the sand by means Of metal rods In the
usual way In motorboat over half
mile away was the receiving instru-
meat. from which metal plates trailed

The inventor then sent out several
musical notes which were heard dis
tlnctly through the receiving instru-
ment on the boat. my Country, 'Tis

Hungary's Roaring Gas Well That
Cannot Be Controlled.


There are wells and wells-wells
which gush oil by the million gallons.
wells which supply whole towns with
water, wells that are mere trickles and
wells which food the country round
but there is a well in Hungary that
puts all other wells in the background
This well is at Kissarmas. In Tran
syivania. and has the extraordinary
popularity that it can be heard. but
not seen. The well is one of natural
gas, and the gas rushes from the iron
bore pipe with such terrific force and
overpowering noise that within cir
cult of some hundreds of yards il is
impossible to hear any one speak.
In fact, If you want to talk to any
one who is with you you must do II
IN writing The noise of the escaping
gas is so deafening that it is neces-
sary for those who go close to the we'll
to plug their ears with cotton wool.
Attempts have been made to get this
jet Of natural gas under control, but
as yet with only partial success. A
strong iron tube about nine inches in
diameter has been forced into the
ground. and from this tube for the LAST
two and half years the invisible gas
has been pouring out constantly
Several times when the engineers
thought they had conquered the jet
they were beaten at the last moment
The gas pours out Of the iron tube
with the speed of a rifle bullet, and It
is estimated that every day has seen
over million cubic yards. worth a.
900 absolutely wasted. In these two
and a half years 100000 of pure
methane gas has gone forever.
IL the engineers are successful in
finally conquering this extraordinary
gas jet it is proposed to conduct it
through pipes for hundreds of miles
around and provide many towns with
an abundant supply Of power, light
and heat at an extremely low rate

WILL MAlDAMUS TREASURER
Made to Transfer Funds
By Process of Law by
State Officers

The result was that mandamus
case has been brought against State
Treasurer Mcmillan by the two me
mbers of the board to compel him to
transfer the amount mentioned from
the New Prison Fund to the General
Fund. The papers were filed with the
Supreme Court today.
The Supreme Court will have to
take the matter Under advisement
and look up the authorities. Should
is be found possible to transfer this
unused fund into the general fund il
would relieve the situation for two
months at least and put the discount
ing Of warrants Off to that extent
The only item that stands in the
way is the fact that the State has en-
tered a contract with the Nevada
engineering Works for steel cells
to be delivered at the State Prison.
The question of how to stand off the
Engineering Works in case they land
with the steel is what will have to
be decided

Postal Bank
Open in Reno

The Reno Postal Bank opened yes
terday. Over two thousand dollars
were deposited in the new bank be-
fore it closed The first certificate
was taken out by Oral H. Mack, a
Reno youth who placed $40 in the
care of Uncle Sam. Reno will un-
doubtedly make one of the big show
ings of the state. The postal banks
have proven big success, especially
in Nevada, and they have benefited
the local banks, as the money turned
into the Government is deposited III
the other banks in the districts. The
one redeeming feature is that Uncle
Sam guarantees that the money will
be paid when wanted. There is only
one way to fail and that is for the old
Government to go broke.
