PACKING PLANT.
next TO COME

Plans are under way for the
organization of a packing company
in.this Valley and in the event that
the plans are brought to successful
termination, a new industry will be
a1dedlto the salready long list of
cooperative institutions fostered
and built by the farmers of Carson
Valley.
To house this new Iindustry a
brick and concrete building 7Sxl30
will be built at Minden. 1t will be
built along the same lines as are the
two packing establishments of Reno,
with later ideaslincorporated.
The establishment of a packing
house in this Valley, it is figured,
would save thousands of dollars an
nually to the farmers of this Valley.
AS it stands today Reno is the pack
ing center for the towns and cities
of western Nevada. The Reno es-
Establishments draw heavily on this
Valley for their supply of beef,
mutton and pork. This business
could just as well be handled direct
from here as Reno. The bi-prodcts
from such an establishment is no
small part of the business when
properly handled.
The establishment of a packing
plant is a good move and should be
encouraged in every possible way.

A. w. Ramsay wishes it known
that he was informed, before filing
HE claim against the county for $40
that he was to pay half of the auto

This was not the case and the COM

claim $15. Mr.. Ramsay dislikes
the appearance of anything attached
to his name that may be construed
as graft, hence this explanation.

ALPINE ON
THE UPGRADE

Harry Martin, who has more than
a local reputation for his knowledge
of mines and mining, was down,
from Loope this week. He is Of the
opinion that Alpine county will be
much in the public eye this summer.
There has been a lot of quiet work
going on in the district for the past
several years and the oucome is
most encouraging.
Mr.. Martin and associates have
taken hold of the old Lincoln prop
erty at Loope and work recently
done has proved very encouraging.
The old tunnel is in 1900 feet and
crosscut has been run for a dis
tance of II feet without getting out
of ore. Assays recently made show
that the ledge carries gold values of
from $3.50 to $3.50. Mr.. Martin
hopes to be able to interest capital
in this property, which is necessary
to carry it to a successful issue.
He reports that Capt. Peter Curtz
has opened up a vast body of ore in
the Morning Star and that nothing
can prevent the success Of this prop
erty. 1t is understood that the
company has under advisement the
question of erecting a smelter and
should they decide favorably, work,
no doubt, will commence in the
spring
The lodtimers of Alpine county
those who were there when the
population of that county exceed
ed the 5000 mark, attracted there
by the mining excitement-have
lived on through many years, hoping
against hope, that the day would
come when the ores beneath the rock
ribbed Alpine hill would be made to
give up its precious metals. From
all accounts, they are nearer their
goal than at any time in the mining
history of California's most neglect
ed county.

stated that the Douglas Milling and
Power company has proposition OF
street lighting to offer to the town.
If street lights are to be taken, the
business men should investigate
both propositions before entering

Bill

Whereas, the Commissioners of

number of the taxpayers of the said

inquiries and discussions have arisen

EXERCISE AND FEED NEEDED
Bad Results From Overlooking as
SoWs Are indoIent and Loath to
Run About-Good Rules.

1t is beyond reason that a SOW can
give birth to a strong litter of pigs
after having gone through a four
months fast. Bad results are I'M
doubtedly brought about by overfeed-
ing, especially as sows are naturally
indolent and loath to exercise; but a
counteracting influence will be found
in ample exercise, that may be pro-
vided by a large pasture, or even by
driving slowly mile or so each day.
The necessity Of exercise should not
under any circumstances be over
looked
1t should be borne in mind In the
second place that the main demands
upon the SOW are those for the build
ing of new tissue. Hence, the kind of
feed is important. What are known
as the heterogeneous or protein-bearing
feeds are needed at this time. These
are bran, oilmeal, peas, beans. oats
and barley, and, to a moderate ex-
tent, wheat. The forage plants that
are especially suitable to pregnant
brood sows are the clovers and their
relatives, alfalfa, peas, beans, vetches,
etc. The ordinary pasture grasses
are also of much value.

EXCELLENT TIME FOR LAYING
Not Advisable to Have Puilets Pro-
ducing Eggs Before October
Cold Weather Hinders

Many poultry raisers believe that
the sooner pullets start laying the
greater the financial returns win be,
but this is not always the case. 1t is
not advisable to have pullets laying
before October at the earliest, except
in the few cases where winter eggs
are not wanted. II the birds start lay
ing earlier than October the cold
weather comes around, and probably
viii not start again until the winter
is nearly over. If they start laying
by July or August, as very early
Matched pullets sometimes do, they
usually moult in the fall and do not
lay again until February But it IS
equally bad if they do not start laying
by the middle of November. as they
probably will not start in until the end
of January at the earliest and perhaps
not until the END Of February or the
beginning of March.
The time the pullets are Matched
has more to do with the time they
start laying than anything else,
but the system of feeding has consid-
cradle to do with it also. If pullets
are maturing too quickly they should
receive free range and be fed only
once a day, about 8 or o'clock IN the
afternoon being the best time The
food should be only dry grain, and
oats are about as good as anything
for the purpose. AS soon as the early
pullets freely receive nutritious foods
they start laying.

PREPARING FOR SPRING WORK
Only Buy implements Actually Need
ed-Sometimes Cheaper to Hire
Corn and Oats Seeder.

Have the plows, harrows, cultiva-
tors, drills, and rollers in order for
spring work. Lay in a few extra pillow
points and bolts. Have the harrow
teeth sharp Extra whiffetrees and
some good hame strings should be
provided. The seed oats, corn, clover
and grass seed should be bought this
month. so no time need be lost when
the season opens. says a writer.
Buy and haul the fertilizer you need
now. If the pillow or harrow is worn
out, it will pay to buy good steel
pillow and a spring-tooth harrow and
a two-horse cultiYator. A corn planter
and a grain drill may be hired for Is
cents per acre. II you only plant ten
acres in corn and seed a few acres to
oats, it will be cheaper to hire than to
buy these implements
Only buy those implements you real
ly need. 1t will pay you to buy il you
need the implement, but do not buy 1t
because it is cheap, nor because you
can buy it on time The note soon
falls due, and 1t often comes due
when you are short of funds.
Do not ask your neighbor to go Sc
curity If the bank will not accept the
note with your wife as indorser, do
not buy. This is sound advice, and
If followed will save you lot OF
trouble and considerable money. Do
not go security for anyone. It Is
wrong, as you may ruin yourself, and
oftentimes your family as well. A
good-natured, easy-going farmer had
better remain away from farm sales.

A DIFFERENCE.

Grape-Nuts food, and decided to try

Pure-Bred Stock.

The argument is sometimes made
that pure-bred stock are adapted to
rich people who have plenty of mon
ey, but not the poor farmer who has
lffnitcd capital. It is true that pure
bred stock are not adapted to the
poor farmer, it follows that there is
no stock suitable for him, for. GER
tainly the scrub is not. The scrub
might do for rich people who wanted
to find some way to lose their money.
These men could certainly have no
other motive in raising scrubs The
fact is that pure breds are the ami
mails for the poor farmer because they
will help make him independent, if
the proper care is given them. The
scrub has no place.

Pineapple House Plant

Those who love the beautiful in ma
ture as we'll as something curious can
easily have both in their homes with
but little trouble or expense.
When preparing pineapple for the
table, cut off the top and place it in
a jar of water for a few days. Curl
ously enough, it will put forth roots
and grow for weeks, making a very
handsome plant. 1t can be placed in
window or on a stand in the living
room, and when grown with other
varieties of house plants, produces a
pleasing effect
After it has become we'll rooted, it
can be transferred to light rich soil
in an ordinary flower pot, and it will
continue to thrive for a long time,
often through an entire winter.
The top Of a pineapple planted in
the garden in early summer will often
take root and grow nicely during the
entire summer. It is certainly to at
tract attention, as it is very pretty.
