Col. C. c. Long, the African explorer,
has started the theory again that Gen.
Gordon, who was supposed TO have been
murdered by Ell Mahdi, at Khartoum, is
s,ill alive. Col. Long was on Gordon's
staff, ami maintains that Gordon was as
fanatic as Ell Mahdi, and that 1t would
have taken but little to have made him
embl ace Mohan mechanism. That lie aimed
at supreme power and even as early az
1874, when first sent to the Soudan, en-
teriained the idea of becoming king of
the blacks He expresses the belief that
G ordon, who was averre 10 being rescued
by Wolseley's policy, took four of his
steamers and escaped with them to Con.
docora, 500 miles south of Khartonn,,
where the people were in sympathy with
him. Col. Long thinks he may declare
himself King of the equatorial country,
march to the rear of Ell Mahdi's army or
cross the country TO the Congo, and in
either case may not be heard from for a
year.

Alfalfa for Snoep.
Colorado Farmer.

Colorado Farmer.
Some wool growers are strongly pre-
JUDGED against the feeding of alfalfa to
sheep, claiming that it In ures the wool,
and for mutton sheep is highly undesir-
able. We have never met any one as yet
who could explain In what msnner alfalfa
Injuries wool, and regarding mutton, a
gentleman raid to us the other day: 81
ate some mutton not long ago from an
alfalfa fed eve, that, it seemed to me,
tasted sweetsr and better than any l aver
ate before. 1t has 80 thoroughly con-
vipced me of the utility of alfalfa as a
mutton maker that l shall put some
Southdowns on my ranch this spring and
try 1t for myself.
The objection has also bsen made to
alfalfa that it SCOUTS sheep; but we saw a
flock of sheep brought here from the east
last fall that were fed alfalfa from the
start. Instead of securing, they grew fat
and lively much quicker, their owner in
formed us, than he had ever known sim.
liar hocks to do when fed on other hay.
1t would seem that, as alfalfa has
proven itself 40 excellent a sheep feed,
u wool-growers, If possible, should give
it a fair trial. To condemn a person un.
heard Is considered injustice, and 1t Ia
equally unjust to say that alfalfa will
not make good mutton, when the expert
ence Of those who have tried 1t proves
that it will.
