Experience With Alfalfa.

Great Bend. Jan. 9Th, 1891.
Mr.. EDITOR: Your suggestion for
he farmers to give their experience with
alfalfa, through the columns of the
DEMOCRAT, is good one, and ought
TO interest every farmer in Barton
county.
In the spring of 1881, l purchased
twenty pounds of alfalfa seed at twenty
cents per pound, that being all the seed
in Great Bend land think that amount
was only kept for curiosity. I plowed
the ground, one acre, early, and about
the 18th of April sowed the seed, first
sowing about one-half bushel of oats
which left to protect the SMALL tender
plants from the hot sun, which answer
ed the purpose well; and the result was
i got q good stand, Notwithstanding the
dry season OF dSSY.
Che second year ] cut it twice, since
that $i@e have harvested three crops
a yeas, letting Che second crop ripen for
seed, which has averaged four bushels
of prime seed each year since che second
and has aaada abouS Sour tons os good
hay pes acre.
Whe plaS or ground is heavy bottom
land ana being neay Che house, the
chickens, pigs an6o calves, as well as
grasshOppers and gophers have had free
access ae ALI sines. Set Che alfalfa
has aaanageG to get Shere just the
same" Cog Sen years. will seed 6f-
eeea acres snoSe shis spging ana in the
same way, unless sonae Sagmey can tell
qaae beeteg way.

EBER DURHAM's BAD JUMP.
He Got His Knee Bruised and Wants
$4,000.

$4,000 damage suit against the Seattle City
Railway Company was begun in the superior
court yesterday by Eber Durham fos alleged in
turies said to have been received by reason of
being knocked OF one Of the company's cars on
December 10, 1890 Durham says he paid full
fare, the sum of cents, after boarding the car
at Yesler avenue and South Second street.
and when near Market street the conductor
elected passenger from the car, and while do
ing so failed to stop the car so that he (Durham)
could alight safely; that having to get of while
the car was in motion he fell and bruised his
left leg and knee and was made i'll and lame,
and 1t caused him bodily sufferings and mental
pain, that by the results OF his unlucky jump
he has been deprived of mental composure and
physical comforts, and has been prevented from
supporting his wife and five children. He
thinks $4,000 from the street car company will
heal his bruises and compensate him for all OF
his injuries.

PORTLAND, April 1.-THE Oregon weather bull
letin issued today sGys: Cool weather, frosty
nights, showers and two cloudless days were the
weather characteristics for the week. The sear
son continues backward. Spring blowing and
seeding are progressing slowly. Fruit has not
been damaged and promises well Fall wheat
and grass are al well rootsd and have healthy
growth. Lambs are doing fairly we'll Warmer,
cioudless weather is needed,
WASHINGTON CRY, April The weekly crop
bulletin says: The season continues late, and
owing TO excessive rains, muddy roads and cold
weather, little farm work has yet been accom-
plished in the Northern states Cold and rainy
weather retarded growth in the states Of the
Ohio and upper Mississippi valleys, but gener-
ally throughout the winter wheat region, wheat.
fruit and pastursge are In good con-
dition. The ground II In excellent con-
dition in the spring wheat region OF
Minnesota and Dakota Excessive rains also
retarded work in Kentucky and Tennessee,
where the season Is reported from two weeks to
month late. Grass and wheat in these two
states arc doing well, but the snow and freeze
last night viii probably injure fruit, as the
trees are reported in bloom. It is also probable
that damaging frost will occur tonight as far
south as the northern portion of the Gulf states.
Oregon reports that showers kept the soil
moist, and but little spring seeding has been
done. No damage to fruit resulted from the
sS1Sut trust TAIL Wucdb IL Oo1u8 uuefy. NcpO1tS
from California indicate that the weather for
week has not been favorable, although as yet no
damage il reported. Absence OF precipitation
and dry north winds retard the growth. Rain
is greatly needed in the main districts, where
crops are turning yellow in the foothills. The
prospects for fruit are reported good. In South
ern California crops are coming forward faster
than is desirable.
SACRAMENTO, April 4.-The following weekly
crop report was telegraphed to Washington
City by the state agricultural society, through
Signal Observer Barwick, today: The past
weeks weather was not beneficial for growing
crops, although no damage occurred. North
winds and no precipitation here baked the
ground, thereby rctarding growth and
blowing and planting. High: frost
In the upper Sacramento valley
was more beneficial than otherwise, because It
thinned out the fruit buds In Napa valley the
E1ape outlook il very good, although an inch of
rain would be very acceptable. The middle San
Joaquin valley needs rain for growing grain.
The temperature and precipitation in Northern
California was considerably below the normal
In Southern California clear weather, with aver
age temperature, prevailed. AL crops are con-
ing forward favorably.
