enty-six reports were received from
Portland, showing 1850 hands employed
in 1892 and ], ,154 in 1894. The statement
says the deplorable condition in Oregon
is not confined to any one industry, but
extends to grain-storing, -four mills, ag-

The SHRINKAGE AND THAT is TO BE.

\ number Of the free traders Of the
house in advocating the Wilson bill have
declared that everything, including
wages, must find a general level. BY
this is meant, of course, that American
labor also must come down to the level
of European wages. Free and unre-
stricted trade means just that. can mean
nothing else. What that level will be
none of these speakers have attempted
o tell The Chicago Herald, free
trade organ, high up in the confidence
of the party, thinks that about 33 per
cent will be the decline in all prices, in
cluding that of labor. The Herald is in
clined, however, to hold that farm pro-
ducts viii not shrink so much as one
third, but offers no reason. OF course.
if everything else goes down, as inevita-
bly, they must, so will wheat and corn.
ms well as land and labor, while the pur-
chasing power of gold will be by just so
much enhanced. There can be no pros
peritv under the Wilson bill, except.
mayhap, for the capitalist who has
boarded his money. Such hoarders have
already found that under the shrinkage
which has taken place since last Novem-
Der year ,hat their money is almost
doubly as valuable as it was under the
Harrison administration. Certainly il
will buy double as much labor and M
least one-third more of many of labor

OF stocks, and ali real property at from
one-fourth 10 one-half less.

KANSAS HEADS TIE COLUMN.

Almost every day furnishes additional
evidence that confidence in Kansas on
the part of eastern investors and others
is being rapidly restored. In fact, 1T
may be said of truth that Kansas today
is held in higher esteem than any western
state as affording safe and profitable in
vestment in real property, particularly
in agricultural lands. This is shown by
the frequent purchases of large tracts
for the location and settlement of col
onies of farmers from northern and
eastern states. People who have here
tofore cried out about drouths have
found upon investigation of the matter
that the great states of Illinois. Indiana,
Ohio and others have suffered drouths
in recent years just as severe and dam
aging as any that has occurred in
Kansas, and that for the number of cul-
tivated acres the agricultural products
of Kansas have been remarkable, not to
say unequaled.
There is not state in the Union that
can in any way compare with Kansas at
the present true as place for home
seekers. With some changes in the
system of farming, as regards diversity
ing and rotating crops, the more general
use of seeds for early maturing crops,
attention to live stool, in quality of
breeds, feeding, shelter, ETC., greater
success than that that has come to Kan
sas farmer heretofore In reward for his
labor will be his, and corresponding adj
vanvcement to the state as the leader of
the agricultural column.

ALFALFA FOR FARMERS.

Here is a sum mary of John Armstrong;
alfalfa crop last summer: Raised ten
bushels of seed per acre, five tons of hay
per acrs: pastured in spring until May.
and made good fall pasture after the last
crop of bay was cut. The hay is worth at
the present selling price, $50 per acre. and
the seed is worth from s. to 50 per bushel.
making a clear profit of from $40 to $50
per acre Where is your excuse for not
wood Advocate.
No man can drive up or down the val
lev of the Walnut river, through Butler
county, without being impressed with
the idea that the grass for Kansas is al
faIfa. Not only that, but inquiry of the
men who own these great alfalfa pas
lures will be followed by the conviction
that alfalfa is more than pasturage, more
than hay, that it is destined to largely
take the place of corn for live stock.
There are men in the valley of the Wal
nut that are growing rich raising hogs
on alfalfa, hogs that never have any
other food from the time they are
weaned until shipped to market. Alfalfa
for hay and pasturage has also proved a
marked success in the Cottonwood and
Neosho valleys.
The soils of neither of the valleys
are not SO we'll adapted to
alfalfa as that of the Arkansas and its
southwest tributaries. Alfalfa takes
most kindly to a sandy loam CT caicare-
Gus soil, such as is that of this valley.
Another advantage held by this valley
is the short distance from the surface to
water which the roots of the clover read
lily reach. However. .as has been abun-
iantly demonstrated by farmers of the
upper Arkansas valley, in the vicinity
Of Garden City, alfalfa is the least
subject to injury from drouth than any
other crop known, of either grain or
grass. Its extreme profitableness Is be-
yond question. as grass, for hay and for
seed. The only difficulty or drawback
connected with its culture is in getting
a good even stand at the first sowing.
The ground must be prepared with extra
care and heavily seeded. A good stand
once secured and an eighty or hundred
acre lot of alfalfa is a fortune within it.

A BIG PIG CROP.

Reports gathered from all parts of the
country indicate that the fall pig crop in
farmers hands is larger than usual.
The light marketing of pigs and light
hogs goes to show that feeders are not as
anxious as they usually are to get rid of
their young stock. 1t is true, also, that
pigs have commanded higher prices IN
all markets than any other class of
hogs.
The favorable prices for hogs during
the year have encouraged farmers to
breed as many as possible regar dless of
the time of year. The good supply of
feed in the country has also encouraged
the production of as big crop of pigs
as other circumstances and conditions
would permit In all probability there
are now more pigs and young hogs in
the country than there has been at this
time of year for a long time. This will
have some influence upon the receipts
of hogs on the carly spring markets the
coming season, but it is not thought
that prices will be materially reduced if
at all on that account, but that good
hogs will continue to be good property
for some time to come.
