A way to convert waste paper
from a nuisance into an asset has
been discovered by Capt. H. j. Gosse
of the Riverside hotel. The new
plan is embodied in a paper hinder
which is a hay press on a small scale.
The papers are bound into neat
bundles and shipped to San Francis
co where there is a ready market for
them. They bring about $13 a ton
and Captain Gosse says that VIII ire it
formerly cost him S1.50 a week to
have the paper removed he now
makes the paper pay his stationery
bill.-Reno Gazette.

Prospector Killed

Jim Trasvascus, a prospector from

cidentally killed at Wonder Monday
evening. He became heavily intox-
icated during the evening and while
standing on a porch at the rear of
the Denver Club saloon, fell off,
striking his head on a rock. The
porch was about IL feet high and
the fall was enough to kill him in
stantly. His body was discovered

quest was held Tuesday and the body

snipe hunt Sunday night and went

to drive snipes. With great reluc-

TO INOCULATE SEED

Coating the seed of legumes with
inoculated soil before planting is a
simple method of insuring soil inocu-
lation at slight cost. County agents
in Illinois have found ordinary fur
niture glue effective in holding par
ticles of inoculated soil to the seeds.
This method gives each individual
seed some of the particles of inocu-
lated soil which it carries with it
when it is planted. The scheme re-
quires but a small amount of inocu-
lated soil and costs but a few cents
an acre. The method is described in
the Farmers Bulletin 704 of the de-
partment.
Dissolve two handfuls of furniture
glue for every gallon of boiling water
and allow the solution to cool. Put
the seed in a washtub and then
sprinkle enough of the solution on
the seed to moisten. but not to wet
it Il quart per bushel is sufficiently
and stir the mixture thoroughly I'M
til all the seeds are moistened.
Secure the inoculated soil from
a place where the same kind of plants
as the seed are growing, making
sure that the roots have a vigorous
development of nodules. Dry the
soil in the shade, preferably in the
barn or basement, and %pulverize it
thoroughly into a dust. Scatter this
dust over the moistened seed, using
from one-half to l gallon of dirt for
each bushel of seed. mixing thorough
ly until the seed no longer stick to-
gether. The seed are then ready to
sow

I~NFLAMMABLE BOMBS
Substances Used In the Making of These
Deadly Explosives

The incendiary bomb used by the
Zeppelin aircraft, as arule, is conical
of ten-inch diameter at the base,
wrapped around with tarred rope
and having a metal handle at the
apex. The base is a flat cup, into
which pierced metal funnel is fitted,
having the ignition device and handle
fitted at the top.
The funnel is generally filled with
thermite. The latter, upon ignition,
generates intense heat and by the
time of the conclusion has taken the
form of molten metal, having the
extraordinary high temperature of
5000 degrees F. The molten metal
is spread by the conclusion.
Outside the funnel is . padding of
a highly infammable Or resinous
material, bound on with an infiam-
mable form of rope. The resinous
material creates a pungent smoke.
There is generally some melted
white phosphorus in the bottom of
the cap, which develops nauseous
fumes. In some cases celluloid clip
pings are added, and occasionally a
small quantity of gasoline .-Philadel-

VALUABLE DISCOVERY
FOR CATTLEMEN
Straight Horse Bits Placed in Mouths
Of Animals Forces Them to Eat
Slowly

Slowly
P. j. Conway and Harry Warren.
two prosperous Lyon County ranch
ers and cattlemen, have discovered a
method by which cattle may be al
lowed to feed at will on green alfal-
ia before it has been frostbitten ac-
cording to a statement made by G..
E. Mack of Reno. who has recently
made a trip to that section of the
State.
Judge Macksays Conway and War
rem have allowed their cattle to feed
on green alfalfa al. the time for the
last three weeks and have not lost
an animal. Green alfalfa usually
causes cattle to bloat, which brings
death in a short time. Conway and
Warren have avoided this by placing
in the mouths of their cattle ordi-
nary. straight horse bits. The bits
prevent the cattle from stuffing
themselves and forces them to eat
slowly. Other ranchers in the valley
have adopted the method and the
general opinion in Lyon County is
that the discovery means much for
the cattle industry.
