STEWED ALFALFA
Down on the edge of Death Valley, there is a mining camp in which is
located a small ranch that boasts a patch of alfalfa, the only green thing
(except the two-legged samples of verdure) for many a weary mile.
Vegetables are scarce articles there and much desired. One day the idea
suggested itself that the succulent young shoots of the alfalfa might make a
good dish of “greens.” No sooner thought of, than tried and the experiment
proved a success. Now stewed alfalfa is a standard article of diet in that
camp.

regarding rights to watering places on the ranges. There was no report of
any serious difficulty and the whole thing may be merely a rumor.
BACK FROM THE MOUNTAINS
Leo L. McCoy returned here Sunday evening from his Lassen County sheep
range. He says the sheepmen who have driven their flocks to that section
are doing very well with them, as dry feed is now plentiful and the sheep
look well. But there is a great lack of water in the mountains. Many of
the streams have had no water in them during the past winter. The snow fall
was light in the higher altitude and for this reason, there will be a
scarcity of water in all the mountain regions.

hitching rack was badly demolished and the front of the wagon somewhat
damaged; while the horses escaped unhurt.
