DEATH OF AN OLD PIONEER.

Bernard ". Brisbois, one OF the
best known Of the old-timers OF the
Northwest, died at Prairie du Chen,
Wis, a few days ago. He was born
at Prairie du Chen, Oct. 4, 1903, Of
French parentage In 1927 the few
companies of the Fifth regiment
United States infantry were removed
from Prairie du Chen to Fort Smell
ing. and soon after the Indians made
an attack upon some kee}boats on
their return from the fort, which so
alarmed the residents of the town
that they fed to the fort for protec-
ton. Captain Thomas McNalr took
command; young Brisbois was ap-
pointed second lieutenant, and as
such served until the return of the
United States soldiers. This was
known as the Redbird war, Redbird
being a noted chief Of the Winneba-
go Indians Brisbois soon after en-
gagged with the American Fur ccm-
pany. He remained with this until
1916. when he and II. NJ Rice be-
came successors to FL. l.. Dousman.
Returning to Prairie du Chen, he
was appointed assessor OF internal
revenue by President Lincoln for the
Third Wisconsin revenue district.
December 27, 1872, he was appointed
by President Grant, consul at Vervie1,
Belgium, where he remained until
1874. when he returned home in con
sequence of i'll health and business
engagements. Mr.. Rrisbois was a
genial companion, man OF more
than ordinary intelligence and a gen
tleman of the highest home culture.
He had seen Prairie du Chen in pos
session Of the English--of the Indi-
ans-and the Americans witnessed
many bloody scenes. In his early
days the Mississippi river was navi-
gated only by the Mackinaw boat and
the canoe with supplies for the Mis-
sissippi, upper and lower, as well as
the Missouri and the Yellowstone
rivers, which were brought from the
island Of Mackinaw, via Green Bay,
Fox and Wisconsin rivers, to Prairie
du Chen, from which point the boats
separated for their final destination,
manned by hardy voyageurs.

test that steer weighing 1,1OO
pounds, stalled, fed and cared for as
cattle are fattened in the East, gained
IN eighty days, 240 pounds in weight
on 30 pounds of alfalfa alone per day,
being an average daily growth of
three pounds, and when killed here
last winter was found to be the finest
beef seen in Denver for years. An
other case is reported where farmer
took lot Of thin steers in the fall
which cost him an average sum of $25
per head, fed them exclusively on al
falfa during the winter, and seld them
at an average price Of $50 per head,
and when slaughtered they were
equal to the best corn-fed beef.
The possibilities Of alfalfa raising
and its uses in our States are incalcu-
liable. It has been proved to be as
good feed for sheep and swine as for
cattle. Some of the finest and jusiest
mutton ever sold in our market was
fattened on alfalfa in six weeks time.
Il can be grown in any part of the
State and three or four crops gather
ed per year. That it is thoroughly
appreciated by our farmers is shown
by the fact that fourteen carloads of
the seed were brought to Denver alone
last year, and twenty to twenty five
carloads could be sold here this year
if they could be obtained Denver

ALFALFA AS 4 FODDER.

Tt is well known that until recently
our stockmen have been simply grow
ing cattle for Eastern States to make
beef of, instead of making the beef
here, even for our home consumption.
Happily, this wasteful process is
changing. The remarkable product
iyeness OF alfalfa and its great fatten-
ing properties are now thoroughly
understood, and instead of bringing
dressed beef into Colorado from the
East, We shall soon be shipping beef
thoroughly fatted. Probably 10000
head were fed alfalfa during the past
winter in this State, and though all
feeders were not equally successful,
yet from 10,o00 to $4,000 were turned
into prime beef on alfalfa alone,
against not more than 1000 SO fed in
tho preceding winter

A Washington special telegram, on
June 23d, says: Sitting Bull is one
of the special attractions advertised
in great letters two feet long on the
bill boards, by Buffalo Bills Wild
West company, which is exhibiting in
Washington this week. The old Sioux
chief appeared to-day with his ugly
face made hideous by daubs Of paint
and with a cheveaux defrise of feath-
ers running down each of his legs.
He did not take much part in the
show except to gallop at a headlong
dash around the park on his horse to
show himself. He awakened great
enthusiasm among the small boys
who read dime novels. Gen, Sheridan
and wife and half the army officers in
town were at the show, as were also
