took me up and sailed in
But he lost his bet. Though his
advertising bills grew bigger and big

tised the more he sold. and i'll the
end, after starting eight branch stor-

NEW BREW

any one wanted was there. Many en-
Joyed the treat and the new brew
came right up to expectations.
The opening of this new lager beer
Is one OF the features to be chroni-
cled in this section 1t has meant
the investment OF small fortune,
the bringing about of an industry. and
the placing on the market of a pro-
duct that is telished by many citi-
zens. If the people are going to buy
beer there Is no reason why the
home brew shouldn't have preference
The sampling OF the goods yester-
day was simply to let people know
what was possible. 1t is the first 20
be racked off from the big vats, and
it will all improve as the days come
along. \ little later pale beer Will
be offered the public which will equal
any that can be found on the market
The fact is it is as good as any on
the market and a home product

MILK TESTS
UNSATISFACTORY

The health officer of this city re-
Gently secured samples of milk from
the various diaries supplying this
community and also samples of water
used and sent them to the University
at Reno, the main purpose being to
secure tests for typhoid germs or
baccili The tests in this respect
were very satisfactory as the Uni
versity was unable to make tests for
typhoid. But the report sent in stat
ed that some of the milk contained
more germs Of some kind than was
necessary for really good milk, but
did not state what they were 1t was
also stated that this was probably
due to some extent to the fact that
the samples were several hours IN
transit on hot day.
\ local dairyman sent a sample Of
cream from his dairy on the 9TH of
the month and on the Sth received a
letter from V. F. Scott of the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station acknowl-
edg1ng the receipt of the same and
stating that report would be made
On the l4th of the month the Car
son dairyman received a letter from
the State flygienic Laboratory at the
University, from Dr. p. O. Johnstone,
stating that the sample of milk reach
ed there with the stopper out of the
bottle and the milk spilled
There seems to be something very
strange about this matter and from
the looks of things it is not possible
to get tests from the departments at
the University. The dairy owner who
sent the milk states that, owing to the
design Of the bottle, that it was an
impOssibility for the stopper to come
out unless taken out by using con-
siderable force The dairyman says
that he is desirouse of having a proper
test made and will send the milk to
California. and if not up to the stan
dard he will notify his customers
and refuse to deliver the product.

EXPERIMENTAL
SCHEMES
WARDEN DICKERSON WORK
ING OUT HIS NEW
PLANS

! If the plans OF Warden Dickerson
are carried to an issue there will be
an experimental farm IN this county
that will be worth while. Since he
| took charge of the Prison Farm there
has been carried out number OF
plans that are owrth a lot to the
state
In the first place a number of fine
work horses are to be a part of the
program. while thoroughbred hosS
will soon be possible. In case the
farmer wishe, the best OF stock it
will be possible to secure first hand
ed withng a few years at the Nevada
Prison Farm. This was the intention
when hte warden took hold, and it :
the reason Q 1.-THE trip. hunting what
; is right to carry out the idea
\ lot of other schemes are under
way, The farm has fair water right
from Clear Creek and the river, but
not enough for some OF the high and
best land. In order to place water
on this choice land wells are being
dug, the water to be lifted by electric
power. which is on the farm. To
experiments along this line have de
monstrated that there is plenty OF
underground water, more in fact than
was anticipated, and by next spring
additional acreage will be placed un
der cultivation.
Warden Dickerson is OF the opin-
ion that there is opportunity to fur
nish practically the best part of the
supplies Tor the prison on the farm
The vegetables, beef and many ne
cessity can come from this state
holding. which has proven the one
real investment that has been made
in several years. When it was pur-
chased many made the complaint that
more money had been thrown away.
The farm today could be sold ior
double the price paid. 1t not only
finds profitable employment for a
number of cOnviCts, but eventually
will be on a self sustaining basis. This
is the hope OF Warden Dickerson.
