Alfalfa in the Mountains.

1t has been known for years that alfalfa
did well in higher attitudes and withstood
the frosts and SHOWS of winter, but it has
been seriously questioned whether it would
do well on the steep hillsides up in the
mountains where there is no opportunity
to give it more moisture than that derived
directly from the clouds. When D. G.
Maddux, of Linns valley, finished seeding
his level land last year, he had about fifteen
pounds of alfalfa seed left. This he scat
tered about on two and half acres of hill
side land which he had first plowed as well
as its surface and condition would permit.
After sowing, the ground was slightly har-
rowed. This he did as an experiment, and
to test the matter thoroughly, he chose
land that has both northern and southern
exposure. The seeding was done in the
month of March, and much to his pleasure,
most of the seed grew and thrived all sum
mer The alfalfa is now from six TO ten
inches high, and is growing quite rapidly.
The soil where he sowed the seed is com
bination of adobe and decomposed granite,
very heavy and rather inCl,ned to be cold.
The elevation is between four thousand
and five thousand feet. Many other stock

The Omniyorous Scrub.

In sacred history it is recorded that one
of the Pharaohs dreamed dream in which
there appeared seven fat kline and seven
lean kline, ''and the ill-favored and lean
feshed kline did eat up the seven well
favored and fat kline" 1t is also related,
saws the Breeders Gazette, that Pharaoh
was much troubled over the Interpretation
of this vision, and had finally to invoke Il e
services of young man named Joseph
who seemed to have acquired somewhat of
a local reputation as a reader Of dreams
to help him out of the difficulty. which he
did, so the story goes. to the kings salts
faction. In this latter day however. we
seem to have tangible, practical illustra-
tons of that which was only fOreshadOWed

may seem to some an absurd aud impOssi-
BILE thing that the Ll-faVOTeC and lean

not for lack of appetite to be sure, but for
want of adaptability to such a diet.
Nevertheless. we have illustrations almost

Regarding the prospect for cattlemen in
the Cherokee strip, a late dispatch from
Fort Worth, Texas, says: Mr.. L. c.
Sterrett, prominent cattleman of Abil-
inc, was in the city en- route home from
the Cherokee strip, where he has just
located 1000 head of beef steers from his
ranch III Shachelford county. Mr.. Ster-
rett was on the northern border of the
Oklahoma country when the grand rush
was made He said: II was fearful that
havoc would be played with our cattle in
terests, but thousands of the men passed
through my pasture, the fence having been
let down for them, and other than the
road they made they left no trace of their
passage This great influx of people will
not affect the cattle interests there this
wear The cattle will fatten and get in
condition for the market in good time; but
good-by next year.
What do you mean by that latter eX-
pressionn'
Il mean that after this year the cattle
interests in the Cherokee strip will be
gone. for as soon as the year goes by that
strip will be opened for settlement just as
Oklahoma has been. Those who now oc
cupy Oklahoma will not, am satisfied, in
any way modest or attempt to modest the
cattlemen, but pressure will be brought
that will result in the government throw
ing that section open. ana then the cattle
men will have to seek other pastures -

sections of Texas to the Indian Territory

The condition of the sheep and wool mar

heretofore been reviewed in these columns.
A gentleman seen yesterday, referring to
the cattle industry. had equally as favor
able report to make concerning the out
look. He says the mild winter has had an
excellent effect, and he does not look for a
shortage of grass this season in excess of
former years. The gentleman has travelled
almost the length and breadth of the terri
tory during the last few days, and he says
that the late storms have had a most excel
lent result. In some places where grass
has scarcely ever been seen, excellent
ranges now exist. The supply is light, of
course, and will not last long, but he thinks
the outlook, on the whole, is considerably
in advance of that of year ago.

Sisseton Sioux reservation in Dakota, a
tract of LOO square miles, said to be re
markably well watered and productive.
There are about one thousand five hundred
Indians on the reservation, and it is pro
posel to induce them, by perfectly fair
means, to part with it for reasonable
compensation.
One of our stock companies, with an in
telligence somewhere about 1t, raked in all
the sheep of the country when they were
down and nobody wanted them. The pesky
animals were well fed through the winter,
and this spring a harvest is realized in
prices away over those obtained for fat
beef The same company is now getting in
good fix as to both cattle and horses.
