Hens Need Exercise.

During The winter months exercise
can best be managed 10y feeding all
the whole grain in litter ten to
twelve inches deep. This will not in
volye a waste, FOR If hens are left
little hungry they will scratch long
after the last kernel has been found.
Exercise can be further encouraged by
suspending head OF cabbage or
few roots above the reach OF the hens.
At bdtchering time part Of the Of
fal or raw bone hung in "a similar
way will keep hungry hens Oh the
jump most OF the time.

PARAGRAPHS.

John Muir, Chairman of the Railway
Investors League of New York, issued
a statement last week regarding the
condition and prospects OF the n. u, N

sidered most satisfactory one III
every way, and coming from 50 emin-
ent an authority, put an absolute
quietus on recent rumors that might be-
considered detrimental to the interests
OF New England's great railway system.
Mr.. Muir's findings only confirm the
fact that none too much credit has been
given to Howard Elliott, the President
OF the road, whose splendid adminlstra
tion OF its affairs has brought the prop
erty back to solyency and prosperity.

In former times, say dozen years
ago, the politician was satisfied with
an Office; now he wants to become the
member OF Il commission. There are
two reasons Tor this: first, commls-
sions, as general, thing, pay more
money, ana, secondly, as general
thing, they last longer. Hence the poll
ticlan, who is not i'll politics tor his
health, prefers the longest job with the
latest salary, and we can hardly blame
him.

GEORGE WINGFlELD MAY
BUILD HOTEL AT FAlLON

George Wingfield came down from
Reno last Thursday and spent three or
four days in looking over his varied
interests in Churchill county.
Speaking OF the possibility OF the
erection OF new modern hotel on
the site owned by him opposite the
courthouse during the coming summer,
Mr.. Wingfield said that he fully up.
preciated the necessity that existed
for a firstclass hostelry In keeping
with the growing Importance OF the
town. He was DESTROYS OF erecting a
three.story building containing about
one hundred rooms. However, an in.
yestment of this magnitude required
careful checking up for sufficient re.
venue to warrant the investment. His
Investigations and experiences In no
tel property had demonstrated to him
that at least one-third OF the actual
revenues of hotel are derived from
the bar and in view of the possibility
of the state going dry two years hence
or even earlier by government action
in connection with the prevailing ris
ing cost of building materials anC
