The Tonopah Bonanza says the en-
dorsement of J. b. Giffen, OF Man
haitian, as Deputy Income Tax Col
lector of Nevada is a surprise to the
party associates in Tonopah who had
forgotten all about the former Speaker
of the Legislature from this State and
who has not been seen inside its Dor
ders for the last three years. Tono-
pah Democrats would like to know
what Giffen has done to endear him
to an extent that warrants the recon-
mendation for ofiice-Appeal.

Curing Meat at Home.

Kansas has long had an annual ham
and bacon show, which has become
matter of widespread interest, and
there are many entries each year.
Other States are now following this
example and running ham and bacon
shows in connection with their farm
ers' weeks. This year Nebraska held
Its initial show. There were not MANY
entries, but the exhibit, though small,
attracted great deal of attention.
Next year it is likely that the exhibit
will be much larger, Judging by the
amount of interest expressed. There
were premiums of $40, SIS and $40
given, besides which the Worcester
salt Company gave each prize winner
A barrel of salt These fine hams and
bacons on display were in an entirely
different class from those supplied by
the big packing houses 1t seems a
shame to think of shipping a nice, fat
hog into market and having to buy
back the hams for price almost equal
to that of the whole hog, and then
have them juiceless and tough, when
by doing little extra work one might
have nice, fat juicy hams that would

Fruit of small size on berry bushes
is not always chargeable to poor vari-
cites. but is usually due to poor cul-
ture and no pruning. Currants are
largely borne on wood three or tour
years old. Wood that is older than
this should be pruned out and enough
Young canes allowed to take their
place. This may be done at any time
after the fruit is ripe. Keep the
plants well cultivated and fertilize

Time to Sell Hogs.

Avoid being a market chaser and
sell when the hogs are ready to go,
that is, when they have reached a
condition when it is no longer profit
able to feed them except for specula-

Senatorial Contest.

There will be a close race bet
ween Brady and Hawley in the
Senatorial contest. Both men
are well and favorable known.
One rather cynical person several
years ago when both were cont
estants for the gubernatorial
chair declared that all the friends
of Brady voted for Hawley and
Hawley's for Brady; and Brady
had more friends than Hawley.
Leaving testing aside, it will be a
hard struggle between the two.
Both are well equipped for the
position by training and by ex-
perience.

Garden Of Eden.

Why and how 1t has happened that
tho apple has been spoken of as the
fruit that was forbidden in the Gar

zles of Biblical scholars. The fact is
that in Genesis 8. where the incident

mentioned. no name whatever is given
to the fruit. All that is said is: And

As the express elevator shot upward,
he passed long slender hand across

him still. The car stopped, and the
metallic gates changed open. Darrow
obediently stepped forth. Only when
The elevator had disappeared did his
upward glance bring to him the knowl-
sdge that he had disembarked one
door too soon.
