SHORT COURSES FOR FARMERS
AND HOUSEKEEPERS POSTPONED

The short courses for farmers and
housekeepers offered by the College of
Agriculture, University of Nevada, for
November 1, 1915, to March 4, 1916,
have been postponed to January 10 to
March 90, 1916. This change has been
made chiefly to accommodate the far
mers and the boys and girls from the
rural districts. In the last few months
those who have applied for these
courses have requested that they be
allowed to enter the work either in
December or January, as it would be
impossible to be in attendance for the
entire period. Ten weeks each year is
about all of the time they will devote
to the short course work and the most
suitable time during the academic year
is from January 10 to March 20.

Mrs j. L. Workman arrived in town
from Divide Tuesday evening, being
driven in by Stanley Chapman, one of
the leasers in the camp. Mr.. Workman
came out by way of Elko and ar

viii spend the winter.
1t is expected that the Trembath,
Chapman, johnson & McCrimmin and
Rizzi leases win work through the win
ter There win be no attempt to ship
before spring, owing to the heavy fall
OF snow. Thus far there has been but
one small shipment made from the
Tt embath lease, from which returns
have not been received.
A sample sent to Salt Lake City
from the Trembath lease gave returns
of 26 ounces gold and 1,700 ounces of
silver. From an average sample across
a one foot vein, Mr.. Workman made an
assay of two ounces in gold and 63S IN
silver
Coyotes are said to be thick in the

of the last ore struck in tn Lucky
BOY before he left the camp. The ore
IS literally sprinkled with free gold
and is viewed with interest by mining
men.
Mr.. Noble is attending court, having
been summoned for jury duty. To
Free Press reporter he confirmed the
stcry which was sent out from Gold
Circle recently of the fine showing of
his property. His partners in the Lucky
Bov are his son, Leslie r. Noble and
&. A. Stone. They are down $50 feet
and have drifted 225 feet on the vein.
u is FIVE feet between walls. Thus far
they have opened up two shoots of
good milling ore, with two to eight
inches Of picture rock on the hanging
wall Some of this ore assays as high
as $4,000 to the ton. They have about
100 tons Of milling ore on the dump.
They are using whim at present,
hut plan to put in a gasoline hoist in
the near future, and go on down to the
800
The Flxo Prince mill, Mr.. Noble SAYS,
will be finished November 18th This
mill win buy outright the ores of the
district, giving the leasers and small
operators a cash market for their ores.
The ores will he sampled, assayed and
the money paid Immediately. Mr.. No

their ore handled by this mill.
This mill is built at a cost Of $l00,

nine claims called the Grizzly group
This group covers three big strong
veins, and joins the Elko Prince grou"

Gordon Camphell has secured the
Pieo group of four claims and has
formed a company to work them on a
Zig scale. He has phenomenal values
IN silver in addition to good values in

Winnemueca, New, Nov 4.
Editor Silver State:
It has been several years since

cial business has called me here again
and such wonderful improvements have
been made throughout the state, one
can hardly believe it.
In Reno / noticed the building per
mits this year are nearly 100000 and
one can fully appreciate this fact when
sirolling around town. Improvements
everywhere, and substantial ones at
that. Realty Of all kinds is steadily
advancing, more notieeably in the bus
mess section-in some instances 1000
per cent.
Elko is another go-ahead town. It's
building permits this year are nearly
100000. All lines Of property have
advanced here more than any town !
have visited. They tell me something
in the background is the cause for it.
Winnemueca was, and is today, my
choice, having had many dealings here,
but now in another line, of which j
canslot speak at present. It's future is
exceedingly bright / predict that not
far in the future this place will be

enterprising towns. / can see the

ANOTHER LECTURE
ON WOOL TONIGHT

G. A. Norcross, of the Agricultural
Extension department of the State Uni
versity, and w. t. Ritch, the wool ex-
pert, arrived in town yesterday after
noon. Last evening Mr. Riteh deliver
Ell lecture at the Chamber of Com
meree headquarters, to an audience
that comfortably filed the room. He
discussed the best methods for shear
ing, grading and handling wool, the
talk being preliminary to the lecture
which will be given at the same place
this evening.
Notwithstanding the large output of
our mines, the cattle and other indus
tries, it is a recognized fact that In
eastern Nevada wool is our chief pro
duet. And another fact that must not
be lost sight of is that most of the
money realized from its sale is circu-
lated in the communities where grown.
For that, if for no other reasons, Mr..
Riteh S lectures are particularly time
ly and should prove of great benefit
to woolgrowers During his lecture last
evening, Mr.. Ritch gave out the fol
lowing interesting information:
Sheep Licks
To keep sheep in good health, flock
owners would profit by having one of
the following clicks" placed in con
venient partsof the pasture:
No. slack lime, lbs; sulphate
If iron, lbs; crushed salt, 112 lbs. !;
turps, y pint; mix thoroughly and put
in troughs with protection from rain.
No. 2.-Salt, 214 lbs; sulphate of
iron, IA lbs; sulphur, 4 lbs; ginger, 2
his. place in troughs protected from
rain. This mixture when thoroughly
blended to powder, acts as tonic
and keeps the sheep in good condition.
No. 3.-Flowers of SULPHUR, u gal. !;
pulverized copperal, 3 pints; ground
salt, ! bushel; first see that this is
well mixed, then dissolved in hot wa
ter, thoroughly stirred, and afterward
allowed to set.
No. 4.-Coarse salt, / cwt.; Stacked
lime, 10 lbs; bonemeal, 10 lbs.; flowers
of sulphur, lbs; mix well in trough
and keep protected from rain. 1t is
good plan to mix above with molas-
ses sufficient to Just hold it together.
The above licks are highly recon-
mended by the colleges in Australia
for sheep grazing chiefly on natural
grasses and having to roam long dis
tances without finding much variety in
their food. These hcks have also been
found very beneficial to flocks grazing
under various conditions in New Zeal
and. Falkland Islands, South Africa
and Argentina.
Although any of these licks will pro-
duce excellent results, stoek0wners
should use some discretion in making
their selection. Apart from what may
be necessary as a tonic, select hcks
most likely to produce what is def
cient in the pasture. Regulate the
quantity according to the size of the
flock

Value Of Expert Testimony.

The value OF insanity experts and
handwriting specialists grows OF less
and less value the more they are
used in the courts. If man doesn't
demonstrate his mental incapacity
to the extent that it is observable
to the Judge and the jury there isn't
much use to attempt to prove him
crazy by expert testimony. The old
Quaker who said: They are ali crazy
except thee and me and thee are a
little queer" spoke a near truth.
