AGITATION FOR me-
YADA STATE FAIR

An agitation has been incepted in the
state of Nevada to revive the annual
state fair. That commonwealth is the
only one in the Union which does not
provide for an exploitation of its re-
sources in such expositions.
At different periods Nevada resi-
dents have sent exhibits of products
to the state fair in this city and some
times to other expositions, but such
displays have not been often enough,
large enough and have not received
the amount of insistent publicity
which would attract permanent atten-
tion to the general resources of the
state.
While mining is Nevada's chief in
dustry, and her precious metals have
contributed to the wealth of the ma
ton, there are great areas within her
boundaries that have been overlooked
in the search for precious metals, but
which, if devoted to agriculture and
horticulture would be a source of great
revenue.
The tilling of the soil could be made
a permanent and increasing industry.
Nevada growers already have dem
onstrated the success possible in po-
tdtO StON ing y Ittb SuSdi idtltIN
in Churchill county has made one sue
eessful season s run and demonstrate
ed the stable foundation for the faith
investors have that sugar beet culture
can be successfully carried out.
The trouble with many of the sec
tions of Nevada has been the apparent
lack of irrigation water, but the Fed
eral government took the lead in
pointing the way to conservation and
utilization of water and the area
which can be brought under irrigation
and cultivation is steadily increasing.
Fruit growing is in its infancy in
most sections of Nevada, but some of
the apples raised have attracted fav-
orable notice in this and other states
where displays of such fruit have been
sent.
The trouble with Nevada has beer
that most of her citizens and nearly
all of those who become residents of
the state, even temporarily, have been
or the most part those who are at
traeted solely by mining possibilities.
Agriculture and horticulture were too
slow ways for them to obtain even a
competence and they refused to notice
any opportunity in that direction.
But within the past two or three
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1912-12-26

years the people of Utah have been
invading the state and have purchased
vast tracts in humboldt and Elko
counties, which they purpose to bring
under irrigation and utilize for agri-
cultural and horticultural purposes.
Utahns have also settled in Clark
county in the ettreme southeastern
corner of the state. According to re-
ports they have net with success and
an immense distrrt has been redeemed
to cultivation. Lemons and olives and
even oranges and figs are among the
products which, during the past sea
son, have been shipped from the
Moapa districts t, the Salt Lake mar
kets. The productivity of the soil
the climate advantages of Clark coun-
ty seem like into those of the
"Dixie' section of southern Utah.
Certainly a site fair in Nevada
not only would tiach the people of the
state something concerning her re
sources, but periodically give notice
to those on the outside that Nevada
is advancing in other directions than
in the mining md divorce industries
and that there 5 a possibility of the

PlCkLING TIME.

Every frugal housekeeper likes to
have her shelves we'll stocked with
good things for the winter. Today
one may buy such good canned goods
that much of the work has been given
up; but we all have few time-hon-
ored and handed-down recipes which
we prepare each year The following
are a few which are old and reliable:
To Can Green Corn Without Cook
ins.--Take nine cups of corn cut from
the cob, have the corn just picked
one cup of sugar, half cup of salt
and a cup of cold water; mix all to-
gether and place in sterilized cans
sealed tight. Freshen when using.
Beet ReIsh.--A quart of boiled
beets chopped, two cups of sugar, ia.
blespoonful of salt, teaspooIrful of
white pepper, half a teaspoon of red
pepper and a cup of grated horserad-
ish mix all together and add enough
vinegar to make it moist. Can cold
Canned Red Peppers.-These deli.
cious little appetizers which cost too
much in the winter to have often, may
be canned successfully at home. First,
raise your own sweet peppers, and
when ready to can, wash and cut in
strips with the scissors, cover with
boiling water and let stand five min
utes; drain and plunge into ice wa
ter to cover, in which there is large
piece of ice. Again drain and pack
into pint jars. To one quart of vine
gar add two cups of sugar. Boil to-
gether fifteen minutes and pour over
the peppers until OVERLOOKING; seal
and store in cold place.
Ripe Tomato Pickle.-Mix the fol
lowing ingredients in stone jar:
Three pints of peeled and chopped
tomatoes, a cup of celery chopped,
four tablespoonfuls of chopped red
pepper, the "bity" kind, and four Ia
blespoonfuls of chopped onion, the
same of salt, six Tablespoonful of
same of salt, six tablespoonful OF
teaspoonful of cloves, the same of
cinnamon, a teaspoonful of grated
nutmeg, and two cups of vinegar. This
will keep a year. and is good to use
in a week Fine for meats.

SOME LUNCHEON DISHES.

These dishes are suitable for either
luncheon or supper:
When there are bits of leftover
chicken (not enough for a meaD pre-
pare it by cutting it in small pieces,
add to a white sauce and a cupful OF
tender cooked celery Serve on
rounds of buttered toast.
When there are few slices OF cold
roast pork left from dinner, chop and
mix with equal parts of celery, add
| dressing and serve on lettuce leaves.
Veal and lamb are equally good
served in this way.
Milk toast is most delicious dish
for supper Prepare the toast not
later than five minutes before serV-
ing; dry it in the oven until hot, then
toast a golden brown; dip the edges
into hot water to soften, spread gen
erously with butter and pour over
white sauce made of two tablespoon
| fuls each of butter and flour cooked
together and q cup of thin cream or
rich milk added Two cups will be
needed for large dish of toast lit
tie grated cheese of pronounced flavor
grated over the dish just before serV'
ing adds to it.
Bits of bacon left from breakfast
added to a white sauce and served
with poached eggs is change tnat is
quite acceptable from the everyday
poached eggs.
The old-fashioned Goldfish served in
a good white sauce with steamed or
baked potatoes is a dish which most
enjoy.
If one has a little cold boiled ham
chop it and add it to a thick white
sauce, which may be used to cSer
broiled chops; then fry in deep fat
and serve piping hot. The chop will
need to be treated to egg and crumbs,
as are croquettes.
Fish chowder is another dish which
may be served at almost any meal
except breakfast.
+ Hash served in mounds with a
peached egg on each is nice way to
serve both of these common dishes.
Potatoes scalloped and seasoned
with cheese or mixed with hard
cooked eggs varies that time-honored
dish The addition of a few fresh
mushrooms is relished by most

CURE FOR IDIOCY FAILED
Operation of Prof Payr, Dean of Ger
man Hospital, Not the Success II
Was Reported to Be.

Berlin.-The cure of an idiot boy
by Professor Payr, the dean of the
surgical faculty of Leipsic university,
was reported in a cable dispatch a
few days ago. Professor Payr, it was
then announced, had transplanted a
portion of the thyroid gland taken
from the child's healthy mother to the
blood vessels of the patients kidneys.
The child had been born without a
thyroid gland and had consequently
remained mentally undeveloped.
After the operation, SO the report
of the case said, mental regeneration
at once set in, and after a months
observation the patient was sent
home by the surgeon as thoroughly
sound in mind and body. Unfortu-
nately the cure turns out now to
have been only partial, for afterv-ard
reaction set in.
The engrafted morsel of thyroid
gland only produced its juices for a
time and then rapidly deteriorated,
leaving the patient as he was before
Surgical experts have now come to
the conclusion that idiocy can only
be temporarily relieved when the
thyroid gland is entirely missing

GIRL SAVES FATHER

They arrived in this city and rented
a horse that the girl might ride and
that they might pack their camp out
fit to the old mill.
They started on a fishing trip to
Rock creek, three-quarters of a mile
from their tent. Hardly had they
gone a quarter of mile when Eber-
hardt was bitten in the calf of the
leg by big RATHER. He killed the
reptile, but soon began to weaken as
the poison took effect. The girl made
him lie down, and, after bandaging
the leg above the fang marks, took
a large knife and made deep missions
into the flesh
After her father was on his way to
the ranch house the girl set out on
foot to follow and reached the ranch
in the afternoon.
Eberhardt is recovering, but physi-
clans say that had it not been for the
presence of mind of his daughter and
her prompt actions he would have
died In the mountain wilderness. They
said all the poison had been taken
from the mans body by the heroic
treatment of the girl.
