GRAND JURY REPORT

Ia The District Court OF The
Fourth Judicial District or The
State OF Nevada, In And For
The County Of Elko.
ElEo, Nevada, November "a, 1911.
To The Honorable f. J. l.. Tab
er, Judge of the Fourth Judicial
D."trict Court of the State of Ne
vada, in and for the County of
EIko:
We, the Grand Jury Of the above
entitled Court, beg leave to submit
the following part al report:
We have had brought for our
consideration the the following
cases: -Four cases for Grand
Larceny. seven cases for Forgery
and eight cases for Gambling.
We ignored four cases for Grand
Larceny. found true bills in the
seven cases for Forgery, and
found true bills in the eight cases
for Gambling.
We dcplore the attitude Of some
of our citizens in their stand .,
garding the enforcement Of the
gambling law. The passage of the
gambling law, by . recent lcgi:-
latuIc, was one of the most i'm.
portant legislative attachments
placed on the statutes Of the State,
and has done more to raise our
state in the estimation and respect
OF our sister states than any other
law passed in years. Nevada has
been the last State to remove
from its record all races of
licensed and permitted gambling,
and we insist that our county
officials carry out to the fullest
extent every section of tho Rambl
ing law. We earnestly commend
the action Of our sheriff and dis
lI'Si dtlOIhty III Ihlulf GiIIlDl-
ing den and securing 81 fiicicrt evil
dence to justify indictments. We
wish TO serve notice on all hotel
and saloon proprictors and lessons,
that the discovery Of gambling
games on their premises VII be
considered prima faria evidence
that the games are run with their
permission and corsert. or that
they are criminally careless in the
conduct Of their business.
The Grand Jury las received
information that they consider
authentic, that during the years
Of 1908, 1909 and 1910, three
million four hundred and eleven
thousand seen hundred and forty
nine t3,4ll,749) acres of land
exclusive of u. S. Forest Reserves,
unsurvrycd and outs dc reserves,
vacant government and land held
by private ownership " thin Forest
Reserves, also three thousand two
hundred md nineteen (32l9) lots
ia the various towns OF this county
were not assessed. We have not
been able. within q reasonable
time. to obtain the figures from
the assessment roll of 1911. This
condition Of affairs is no. due to
the negligence of the assessor, but
our lack of system is principally
responsible. We rcccOmmcn that
the county commissioners proceed
t. have an abstract made that will
clearly indicate tho present owner
ship Of every acre Of land within
Elko county, and thus place be-
fore the proper officers such evil
dcncc that will result in placing
upon tho tax roll this vast amount
of land, The owners OF which are
now exempt from taxation.

DEPTH OF CORN CULTIVATION
10 Matter on Which There ls Not Per.
feet Agreement-SoIl Conditions
Materially Influence.

The depth to which corn may be cuL
tivated. especially In dry areas. is q
matter on which there is not perfect
agreement. Soil conditions materially
influence this question. Usually shall
low cultivation only is recommended
and as rule such cultivation Is cor
rect. but there are some exceptions.
says the Dakota Farmer. One dificul.
ty is to know exactly when the excep-
tions occur
One exception Is found In soils that
are much prone to settle too adhes-
lively. as for instance stiff clays. In
these 1t may be necessary or at least
advantageous to cultivate somewhat
deeply the first cultivation that is
given. This. however. will depend
somewhat on the size Of the corn when
the first cultivation is given. II the
corn has reached say foot high be-
fore such cultivation is given. some
caution must be used about going down
deeply. as the lateral roots Of the
corn will have pushed out far from
the plants and not far from the sur
face II the first cultivation given is
deep. then the civilizations that follow
should be less deep.
A second exception is found In that
condition OF soil which not infre-
quently occurs In the west when
crust forms below the line OF the shall.
low cultivation. This crust may be
lower than some OF the lateral roots.
This brings up the question. will the
corn suffer most by breaking the lat
eral roots when breaking the crust or
by leaving the crust unbroken. The
best authorities favor the breaking up
OF the crust. and doubtless they are
right. This can only be done by send
ing the cultivator down deep enough
to accomplish the end sought
There is also difference OF opinion
as to when cultivation shall cease. 1t
would seem safe to say that It should
usually continue longer than is the
case In the average experience OF the
farmer. But after the crop gets high
the work Of cultivation becomes more
costly. as 1t has to be done with a one
horse cultiyator. When thus man.
aged. 1t may be continued until the
forming OF the ears.
The objects sought in such late cul.
tivation are twofold. The first object
is to maintain the covering of loose
earth so as to prevent evaporation.
and the second is to destroy weeds
that would otherwise mature Wild
oats. for instance. may germinate af.
ter the usual time for maturing seed
ceases. and the same is true OF mus.
tard. A corn crop will not result in
all the benefit that may result from
growing 1t. unless 1t is kept perfectly
clean.

twice its diameter. and is strong
enough to Withstand the natural pres.
sure Of Its contents when full. This
pressure Is greatest from two to six
days after filling. The silage at this
time begins to heat and settle. and, II
the walls are not sufficiently rigid to
prevent any bulging, considerable
loss OF silage will result The walls
should be as nearly perpendicular as
possible. and the diameter should be
the same from the bottom to the top.
A mistake sometimes made was In
building the silo OF too large a diam.
eter for the size OF the herd so that
the silage spoiled by too long ex.
posure OF the surface. In one case a
man with small herd built silo
In his barn Is feet square and l6
feet high. After two years trial he
gave up the use Of the silo In disgust
because the silage did not keep.
A year or so later he sold his farm
TO more progressive man. who built
partitions across the same silo. max.
ing four small silos out OF the large
one. and had no difficulty In obtain.
Ing good silage for his stock The silo
should be deep. The deeper the sIlo
the better the silage
The diameter should conform to the
size OF the herd. and II two inches OF
silage are fed each day there will be
no loss from surface exposure.
II is desirable to prevent silage
from freezing The double wall con.
crete silo and those built OF rectangu.
lar building tile accomplish this OBJ
ject as well as any. Stone silos pre-.
vent freezing. but many owners OF
stone silos do not like them because
moisture collects on the inside Of
,,.e walls and rots silage along the
edge, A roof helps to keep out the
frost. snow and rain.

Horse knowledge.

An old horseman remarked recent.
ly: III man wants to learn about
horses he must learn from horses" A
man to be successful must be with
horses and be close observer Of their
moods, manners and makeup A colt
should be trained from the first mo-
ment he is helped to his feet. II
taught to yield early to mans re-
straint and guidance he will never
need breaking" To follow his mas.
ter's wishes will be second nature.
Never speed colt too young. and
when he is given speed permit 1t for
short spurts only as he can bear It.

POULTRY NOTES.

Be sure there are no bad drafts In
the henhouse.
Leaky roofs should be repaired be-
fore fall work begins.
Give the hen the proper material
and she will lay all right.
Some form Of dry animal food Is a
satisfactory food for egg production.
Though fowls are primarily grain
eaters, they desire meat food In some
form.
Turkeys are insect hunters, ducks
are grazers. and chickens are grain
eaters.
Learn to handle from so to 100
chickens successfully before trying
many more.
Beef scrap is probably the best and
most convenient substitute for meat
tina; can be used.
II Is the little details that make the
difference between success and failure
in poultry raising.
The presence OF cockerel with
hens has little effect upon the number
and quality Of eggs.
OIL meal Is high In protein content
and is most valuable In the fall when
molting Is in process.
II given whole grain. for which they
must scratch among the straw, hens
get necessary exercise.
1t may be truthfully said that, under
the same conditions. eggs will keep
fresh no longer than milk will keep
sweet.
Fowls will do something toward bal
ancing their own rations, and they
will take more or less exercise II they
have the chance.
Thousands of farmers market their
milk and cream daily; and an appeal
is made to them to market the eggs
produced daily also.
The quality which Is most desirable
in milk and cream for immediate con.
sumption Is sweetness. In eggs. the
corresponding quality is freshness.
Keep fresh water, grit, oyster shell
and charcoal before the chicks all the
time. cut grass II they are shut In a
small run. dry wheat bran and finely
ground beef scraps.

Some OF the failures OF sios have
been due to carelessness In filling,
but more often to faulty construction
of the silo. .
Formerly many silos were made by
sheathing one OF the bays In the barn.
With these silos and other forms Of
wooden square silos lining must be
built across the corners and the silage
well tramped down -long the edges
or there will be considerable loss OF
what would otherwise be valuable
stock feed. This style Of silo. how.
ever. has become less common. and
but few square silos Of any kind are
built at the present time. Even when
silos are built inside OF a barn they
are often circular. The octagon silo
Is an Improvement over the square
form. but as a rule the walls OF this
form OF sIlo have not been made
rigid enough,
Too often the walls OF sios are not
