GOOD
HIGHWAYS
GRADING AND PAVING ROADS
Average Figures for Whole of United
States Given Out by Bureau Of
Public Roads.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture
What part Of the cost Of a road goes
into grading and structures that are
more or less permanent, and what part
goes into the paving, which may
eventually wear out?
This question Is answered fully by
statistics compiled by the bureau OF
public roads Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture on 1850 com
pleted federal-aid roads, involving T.
500 miles OF road, at total cost of
$112,OOO,OOO. OF the total cost. q per
cent went into grading, IA per cent
into structure, 81 per cent into paw
Ing, and per cent for engineering
These are the average figures for the
whole of the United States, but there
10 considerable variation in different
sections.
In the Middle Atlantic states,
where grading is not heavy and paving
must be built for heavy traffic. the
cost OF the paving rises to Is per cent

In the Mountain states the prob

come for the farmer
In order that the farmer may make
a fair income on these alfalfa lands,
1t Is suggested that he discard the
practice Of shipping Off his hay and
start feeding 1t to good grade Of
dairy cows or to some other kind OF
live stock, particularly cattle and
sheep.
Many farmers in this section have
already demonstrated that live stock
will solve the problem Of making al
falfa profitable. The use Of live
stock keeps up the fertility Of the
soil and provides concentrated prod
ucts that do not have to bear such
heavy freight costs.

FIRST CULTIVATION OF CORN
AZ Soon as Plants Are Above Surface
Land Should Be Stirred-Deeper
TiIIaqe Permitted.

Much will depend upon early cult
walton Of corn. Here Is where "a
stitch in time saves nine" AS soon
as the plants are above the surface
the land should be stirred, usually. Un-
less no rain has fallen do not fail to
start the cultivatOrs as soon as you
can tell the rows by the young plants.
If no heavy rains have come since
planting 1t might be well to wait q
while for rain.
The first cultivation Of corn will
permit deeper tillage than later when
the brace roots develop. But care
must be taken not to throw much
dirt" as the plants are easily covered
and injured by the freshly plOwed
soil.

BENEFITS IN GROWING SEEDS
One Must Be Plant Expert to Be Sue
cessful and Vast Amount Of
Labor 10 Required.

Prof. Paul Work Of Cornell, speak
ing on better seeds and how to obtain
them. said there were many advan-
tages in growing seed. One knows
the percentage of his own seed, and
IL he grows his own seed and does 1t
well he can turn profit from the sale
Of the surplus; but you have got to be
plant expert and it requires vast
amount of labor and care to grow good
seeds. 1t was his opinion that the
bulk OF the seeds would come from
seedsmen; that men in the seed bust
ness are spending thousands Of dol
lars to get good seed, while others
were giving the matter of quality lit
tie attention, preferring to sell the
cheaper seed regardless Of quality.

matter or raising funds for this
project will be taken up at the

According to Mr.. Brandon's plans
money necessary could be raised
by the sale Of city bonds, the
amount needed being approximately
$4,000. The city has at the pres

cent sewer improvement bonds,
printed and signed, ready for de-

MEXICAN, STILL
AND BOOZE TAKEN
Sheriff Brady Gathered In Mexican
Section Hand at Colconda Last
Night, Together With Still
and Bottles Booze

Confirming his suspicious that
moonshine was being made in one
of the Western Pacific section
hands cabins south of Golconda
A Rameriz, Mexican section hand,
was taken into custody by Sheriff
George Brady last night, along with
six gallon copper still, and lodged
in the county Jail here.
Sheriff Brady, accompanied by
B. A. Beatty, forest ranger of the
Orovada district, left here at a
late hour last night and were joined
by Constable Nelson Ritts after
having reached Golconda. They ar
rived at the cabin of Rameriz about
eleven o'clock and in order to gain
admittance announced that the
roadmaster wanted in. The door
was Immediately opened, but as
soon as Rameriz saw who his cal
lers were he attempted to close the
door again, but in vain. He put
up no resistance and when search
was made and the still and seven
bottles of moonshine discovered,
showed no unwillingness toward
coming with Brady to this city. 1t
is stated that he saw a good deal
of humor in his situation and ap-
peared to treat the whole affair as
a joke.
His hearing will probably take
place before United States Com
missioner w. S. Bonnifeld either
late this afternoon or Monday.
This is not Rameriz's first ap-
pearance at the county jail, as he
was held for eight months at that
place several years ago pending ac-
tion by the grand jury for some
trouble in Lovelock. About a year
ago, Sheriff Brady took another
still from his cabin near Golconda,
but since he entered the place
without a warrant, no case was
made of the affair.
The still which was taken last
night is a regular one made for
distilling water by some eastern
firm, and, according to the owner,
was being used for the manufacture
of only the second batch of booze.
1t is made entirely of copper and
looks fully capable of doing all
that is expected of it. When found
it was neraly full of mash, rasins
and sugar, having been set aside
ready for being put back on the fire
in the morning. The still and the
seven quart bottles taken at the
same time were brought here to be
held for evidence.

BIG MINING DEAL
ON NATIONAL LAND
Reported Papers Have Been Sianed
That May Ultimately Lead to
Payment of Quarter Mil
lion to Mine Owners

One of the largest mining deals
consummated in this country for
some time was made recently when
the owners of the Buckskin mine
in the National mining district,
W. J. Bell and his associates, sold
that property to H. H. Rich, M. A.
Burns, A. e. Almind and others.
G. Jones, the superintendent Of
the new company, with Mr.. Almind,
one of the new owners, were ar
rivals here yesterday from the coast
and left Immediately for the prop
erty. 1t is expected that develop
ment work will be carried forward
on a large scale beginning i'm
mediately.
The Buckskin National ground
is located about three miles from
the original strike in the famous
National district, from which ten
million dollars are said to have been
taken in enormously rich ore.
Erection Of mill to handle ore
from the Buckskin National is said
to be one of the plans Of the new
owners, and report has it that de-
velopment work win be continued
throughout the winter, with the pos
sibility of from thirty-five to forty
men employed.
Nothing, however, of an official
nature could be learned today. 1t
is said that the deal involves a
quarter of a million dollars, the
bulk of the money to be taken out
Of the ground.

DREADED ANTHRAX
AGAIN BREAKS OUT
Cattle Destroying Disease Started
at INLAY and Has Extended to
Herds Within Twelve Miles
Of This Community

Another outbreak of anthrax
the disease affecting livestock which
caused so much CONSERVATION in
Lander county last year, has again
broken out in Humboldt county, ac-
cording to reports just received by
County Farm Bureau Agent j. w
Wilson.
The disease, it is stated, started
at Inlay on the Rogers ranch a
few days ago and has spread as far
as the Pedroli ranch, IL miles
south of Winnemucca. A number
of cattle have succumbed to the
disease already throughout the in
tervening territory, eleven head
having died at the Pedroli ranch
within the past week.
DIR. Earl of the Nevada veterinary
force, was summoned from Reno
and is at Inlay doing all within
his power to check the diesease,
Vaccinations are being made and
it is hoped that he will have con-
troll of the affliction within the next
two or three days.
Just what causes the disease is
not known, excepting that it is
from a germ either eaten with
feed or contracted from the soil
where other animals have died.
Within a few hours from the time
the afflicted animal is noticed to
be suffering from the disease ii
is reported that death occures as
a rule. The animal first becomes
logy and rapidly weakens until un-
able to stand, when death soon fol-
lows. II taken in hand Immediately
upon the first signs of the disease,
the animal in the case can be saved.
Vaccination has proven successful
in preventing the disease. The
disease is equally dangerous to
men working with the cattle.
About this time last year sim
liar outbreak occurred in the Battle
Mountain and surrounding terri
tory with a loss of approximately
100 head Of cattle and number
of horses. Last years outbreak of
the disease was the first in this
vicinity for a number Of years.
1t is requested by the Farm Bu-
reau agent that any stockowner suf-
fering loss of stock through the
disease in any part Of the county
promptly make same known to him
in order that steps may be taken to
check the spread of the disease.
