Alfalfa viii neither flourish nor long
survive in a soil with water standing
upon or near the surface. It consumes
much water, but an excess, either ma
turally or artifoially applied 10y too
long fooding), is altogether fatal.
Under some conditions, sowing al
falfa in connection with a nurse crop,
such as oats or barley, is found very
satisfactory; this is practiced most in
California. These serve to protect the
tender alfalfa plants, at critical
period, from injury by the sun.
Ash renovator and enricher Of the
soil it is conceded the equal if not su-
perior of red clover, for, as has been
well said, it is "a nitrogen gatherer OF
the first magnitude, and the long roots
draw ash elements from depths where
no other crops could feed, storing them
up until, by their decay, they again
give them up to succeeding crops. "
Owing to the toughness and size of its
roots, it is difficult to plow under, and
is eradicated only with much effort
Owing to its containing p per cent
water, 4 per cent more than red clover)
green alfalfa requires care, consider
able time and drying weather to eva
porate from it the extremely large per
centage of moisture necessary to be
gotten rid of before it is properly cured
hay, and without getting rid of which
it is not safe from heating OF molding
in stack or NOV; although, as is well
known, very important drying and
curing process takes place after stor-
ing hay that at the time appeared far
from sufficiently, or even safely, dry
Those who irrigate find it very profit
able to food their ground some little
time before each cutting, in order to
stimulate and start at once the sue
ceeding growth. The surface should
not be wet at the time of cutting. as
such a condition seriously interferes
with and retards the prompt and thor
Ough curing which is so desirable in
making the best quality of hay or seed.

finally redeem its outstanding notes
and cancel them? Should not the
monetary system be abolished which
imposes on the government the duty Of
redeeming in coin on demand the paper
currency Of the country? The result
of this system, as is now being demon
strated, is to force the government to
constantly increase its bonded indebt-
edness to maintain the fund of coin for
the payment of its notes, which, since
they are Immediately reissued, remain
undiminished in amount, calling for a
constant repetition of the process.

TROoPs are always to be had TO shoot
down laboring men who are on a strike
for enough wages to keep soul and
body together, but there is not a single
trooper to be had to help suppress and
capture the bandit, Bill Cook, who has
for months terrorized the towns and
cities adjacent to the Indian territory,
and who has committed more murders
than Sitting Bulls braves did in the
late Pine Ridge outbreak. Such is the
boosted justice, liberty and equity of
United States laws.

SECRETARY MoRrON's REPORT.

Secretary Morton's report is very de-
fective. 1t makes no reference at all to
the propriety of lady bicyclists wearing
divided skirts and never mentions the
subject of the alleged damage that
comes from the practice of kissing. Al
most everything else is deliberately
treated. His inclination to pull the
British lions tail is so distinctly shown
that it is probable that that fiery, IN
tanned animal will at once go into win
ter quarters. But it is on the subject
of finance that the report is as brilliant
as meteor. Of course the subject of
finance is as foreign to the department
of agriculture as Morton's sympathies
are from the farmer, but such little
matters do not bother the secretary at
all, He asks some questions about
money which may be puzzling to him,
but they are plain enough even to
children. For instance he asks:
Would the s6OO,OOOOOO worth of farm
products from the United States sold
last year to foreign nations have been
as renumerative to the American farm
or if they had been paid for in silver as
they have been when paid for ID gold
or its equivalence" The farmer does
not care a continental whether foreign
nations paid them at all. So far as he
was concerned, Mr.. Morton, he was
paid in silver or paper. He never
caught sight of gold dollar last year
Perhaps he has not seen a gold dollar
for 10 years. He is doing business
with the despised "58-cent dollar" and
is not worried about it in the least.
The secretary of agriculture is the only
farmer" in this country who is crazy
for gold and diamonds. If the world
had all the circulating medium it
should have those s6OO,OOOOOO worth of
farm products would have brought
much more than that.
The secretary declared that the
farmer with his products buys money
and he should have good money The
farmer does not buy money. The bay
ing and selling is the dastardly work of
Wall street and of like vermin on our
commerce; and the secretary's concep-
ton of this use Of money shows clearly
that his mind and sympathies are fin
ancially diseased, Money is not in
tended to be bought and sold. 1t is
simply an order on any man in the
community for goods that another man
wants. It is a stream on which to float
our commerce. 1t is a measure of
values, and is not a commodity. He
demands prime" currency. So does
the farmer, and while be is in the spirit
of demanding, he is demanding pretty
loudly that we have a secretary of agri-
cultural that will pass at par. The
farmer is tired of a 55-cent man in that
position.

IT IS impossible for man with good
heart to be satisfied with this world as
it now is. No man can truly enjoy even
what he earns what he knows to be
his Own-knowing that millions of his
tellow-men are in misery and in want.
When We think of the famished, we feel
that it is almost heartless to eat. To
meet the ragged and. shiyering makes
one almost ashamed to be well dressed
and warm-one feels as though his
heart was as cold as their bodies. In a
world filed with millions and millions
Of acres of land waiting to be titled,
where one man can raise the food for
hundreds, yet millions are on the edge
Of famine. Who can comprehend the
stupidity at the bottom of this TRUTH

LOVE TO PAY INTEREST.

The United States government seems
never so happy as when it is paying in
terest. 1t is interest mad. 1t is ever
lastingly trying to increase the interest
bearing debt. Not only.does it pay the
national banks interest upon the bonds
which they deposit to insure the re-
demption of their bonds-Which is the
same as if a pawnbroker paid the Dor
rover interest upon the money Dor
rowed instead of charging interest-but
it is as uneasy as a man with the itch to
think that there is a single greenback-
which isanon-interest bearing bond-in
circulation. The greenback is quietly
attending to its legitimate business,
passing as dollar worth 100 cents, and
giving nobody except the government a
single pang Of distress. But the gov
eminent is worried. 1t wants to call in
the greenback and issue an interest
bearing bond in its place If private
individual were guilty of an action like
that he would find himself in mad
house instanter and a garudian would
have charge of his business. The fool
financial policy of this government
would naturally indicate that dollars
in this country were so thick that a
man could not walk without stumbling
over them.

The brilliant sages of Wall street ad-
nit that nine tenths of the silver used
in Europe and America is produced in
the United States. The claim that the
psuper silver of the old world would be
dumped at our minis in case free and
unlimited coinage of silver law we're to
to be passed sounds very Oshkosh to the
unsophisticated. If the one-tenth can
ruin the country, give US ruin, congress,
give US ruin!

THE issuing of bonds is an outrage
on every taxpayer of the United States.
there is some doubt of the legality of
such an issue under the resumption
act. 1t is not a remedy for the condi-
tons that is is intended to remedy. It
contracts instead of expands the cur
rency, Every dollar that goes into the
treasury in payment of bonds goes out
of circulation and is placed where it
can be drawn out of the country at the
pleasure of foreign banking interests
1t puts the country at the mercy of the
money sharks who can loot the gold re-
serve at will. Every honest and pa
triotic man should do everything in his
power to stop the iniquity.

Irrigation Successes.

Ii IAO 6JdJo irrigation COuF6utAOu al
Hutchinson papers were read on re-
suits of practical irrigation, among
them the following appeared:
W, F. Foster of Meade, read a paper
on "Profts Of Irrigation in Meade
County" which was attentively listened
to. He maintained that irrigation is
highly profitable where water is avail
able within a reasonable depth. There
are $50 successful irrigation plants in
Meade, the supply being from artesian
or drive wells. Mr.. Foster presented
facts and figures showing profits of
from so to $40 an acre.
E. r. Moses of Great Bend, made a
statement as to what Mr.. Ford has
done by irrigation. According to Mr..
Moses, Mr.. Ford farmed in Barton
county, without water, for nine years,
and fonnd himself getting deeper and
deeper in debt. He wearied of this and
built himself a homemade windmill.
He began to irrigate, gradually increas-
ing his watered area. Now he is pros
porous, out of debt, and surrounded by
all the comforts of life. $50 much for
irrigation in Barton county"
Benjamin F. Smith of Lawrence, in a
paper entitled Strawberries by Irriga-
tion," told: how by introducing water
from the city Waterworks during the
ripening season to his two-acre berry
patch he increased his crop from an
estimated 70 crates to 225 crates, net
ting $4,000, which he credits to his
irrigation scheme. Mr.. Smith used 700
feet of iron pipe laid on top Of the
ground with stops cocks established at
every 100 feet. Seventeen thousand
gallons of water was applied to the
patch at the first application and
week later 5000 gallons constituted a
second application. The application
was made at night, taking q hours for
each application. The total cost Of the
was s698O and the success
was such to warrant Mr.. Smith in lay
ing his plans to irrigate in the same
his 40-acre berry patch one
mile from Lawrence.
F. D. Smith, in the course of : paper
on "Profts of Irrigation in Edwards
County" used two examples to illus
tFate how much can be done by irriga-
ton under unfayorabls circumstances.
The first was of ]. NJ. Cramblett, who
lives 20 miles south of Kinsley. His
plant consists of a 3-inch cylindrical
pump and direct stroke windmill. The
lift is % feet. With this plant he
pumped water for 100 head of stock
and for lrrlgatlng a half acre Of very

ton MAS done By a girl u years old. |

Lynch Law.

Last Friday night tramp under
took to gain entrance to the farm res
idence of Mr.. Bone living three miles
from Watertown. Mrs, Bone was at
home alone, except the presence of a
seven-year-old neice, and for some
time kept the tramp outside and fl
nally he went away, as Mrs. Bone
thought. She was so frightened that
she thought best to 60 to one of the
neighbors. Taking the little child
she started, but had no sooner gone
out than the tramp attacked her and
made an attempt to ravish her per-
son. BY fighting she finally succeeded
in driving him away. Though badly
bruised she reached a neighbor's
house and gave the alarm. All the
time between Saturday and Monday
parties were seaching for the tramp
and he was located near Castlewood
along the Sioux river by young man
who was out hunting, Word was
sent to Watertown and an officer sue
ceeded in capturing his man.
Monday night mob was organized,
which was supposed to have been COM
posed Of some Of the best citizens of
Watertown. This determined body
of men overpowered the city jailor
and guards and broke open the cage
and cell. They dragged the prisoner
out and down the street, stopping two
or three times to ask him if he was
guilty or innocent. Each time he
evaded a direct answer, asking in re-
turn if they thought he was prepared
to meet his God, and it is claimed
that once he stated that he was not
altogether innocent. The mob finally
strung him to an electric light pole
where he remained for an hour and
until the coroner cut him down. A
jury was summoned and careful ex-
animation was made, but the officers
could not find out who had
done the lynching, but there was
enough evidence produced to con-
vince the jury that the mob had the
right man, though they had taken un-
lawful means to punish him for the
crime.
