HINTS ON HOUSE FLOWERS.
How to Care For Plants During the
Winter Months.

Keep plants well watered Many per
sons will pour little water on plant
enough to soak in an inch or two. and
wonder that the plant does not grow.
The trouble is that the growing part OF
the plant receives no nourishment.
Plants should be watered every day
and in such n way that the roots get
plenty of moisture. The soil should be
rich. Care should he taken in placing
flowers near a window. Remember the
upper sash is warmer than the lower.
Asparagus ferns and sword ferns are
very good winter plants. They must
be kept moist and be closely watched
for the red spider.
Primroses require much care. They
should be changed from one pot to an
other until in pot five or six inches
in diameter The atmosphere should
be cool. about % degrees. They should
be kept well watered.
The umbrella plant. the cyclamen,
the geranium. the petunia. all will

en- them.
Heliotropes need especial attention.
The soil should be rich and the room
warm and the plant kept where 1t will
get lots of sunshine The soil should
be kept just on the verge of drying out
and differs from other soils in this re
spect.
Palms need a moist heat. They are
among the most difficult plants to care
for in the winter. Coal gas often
proves fatal to them They always
should be kept moist
Begonias are the best plants for win
ter. Their foliage Is beautiful, and the
coloring on the leaves is as dainty as
that OH the flowers when they bloom.
Good soil and plenty OF water will
make them grow.

HOW TO HAVE WINTER EGGS.
Make Hens Comfortable and Keep
Chicken House Clean.

One great essential in getting winter
eggs is to make the hens entirely COM
Portable The first firing to do is to get
busy now and clean out the house thor
oughly. Remove every useless article
and leave the floors entirely free from
anything that will obstruct their free
use as a scratching place. Clean down
the walls, spray thoroughly, rerNve
every bit of litter from the floor, and
If 1t is a dirt floor take out at least
couple of inches of the old dirt, which
should be replaced with clean loan.
Make ready a corner in each pen
that can be used as a busting box.
This can be kept supplied with the
fine siftings from hard coal ashes and
will be much enjoyed by the whole
flock If it can be placed where the
sun will shine on it so much the better
Do not close the windows until the
weather gets real cold. Let there be
one glass window for each pen of 10
by Il or 10 feet and one muslin COW
cred frame with at least twelve
square feet of surface for each pen.
This may look like cold PROPOSE
ton, but 1t will be found the muslin
does not make the pen any colder than
does the same amount of glass surface
and at the same time gives a steady
supply of fresh air This muslin will
help greatly in keeping the poultry
house dry during the winter and will
make it much more comfortable than
a closely shat up house can ever be.
For colder nights have curtain or
cheap sheeting running across the
front of the roosting place. This does
not need to fit tightly except at the
top and may hang out some inches
from the dropping boards, giving plen-
ty of room for the fowls to pass to
and from the roosts. On the very
coolest of nights the roosting place
will be found to be entirely comfort
able, and in the morning the hens will
come out ready to scratch and hustle
for their breakfast.
Above all things, be sure to keep
good six inches of perfectly dry straw
on the floor for scratching material.
There can be little comfort for the hen
in scratching pile of dirty. damp lit
ter that has been on the floor for
month or more.

An irish Duel.

The annals OF the Emerald Isle bris-

feared he had killed him. When the
result was made known one OF the
seconds shouted. Mac. you are the
only rogue l ever knew who was
saved by the gallows."

THREE JUDGES TO TRY CASE

An agreement between conflict

what Will probably mean the ter
mination of the various suits
growing out of the leases operated
on the Moha "k property.
This afternoon, a little after 2

representing the Goldfeld Consli
dated Mines company. and Senator
Henry V. Morehouse, representing
the d. Mackenzie interests appear
ed in Judge Somers' chamber and
ask that the several suits pending
la that court in which their resplc-
tive clients r opposed be tried
by three judges, subject Of course, to
their consent. These are Judge Orr
of Washoe and Judge Taber Of Elko,
sitting with Judge Somers of This
district. Somers was favorable to
the agreement. The hearings will
begin May %.
The litigation involves the
claims for damages on the part Of
the Consolidated growing out of
caving of the Mohawk property
while operated under lease, except
the suit % pending in the
Supreme Court. 1t also includes
the eases involving conflicting
claims on account Of high grade
ore taken from the mine during
the operation of the lease.
The legal formalities of the
agreement in relation to the trial
of these cases will probably be per-
fected tomorrow, when the
