Alfalfa does not attain maturity I'M
til the third or fourth year; therefore.
do not sow it expecting to get the best
results in less than that time.
Alfalfa grows best on a deep, sandy
loan, underlaid by a loose and pernle-
able subsoil. 1t will not grow if there
is an excess of water in the soil. TIE
land must be we'll drained.
Alfalfa is a deep feeder. Plow the
land thoroughly; the deeper the better
Alfalfa thrives best in soils contain
ing lime, potash and magnesium. 1t
does not grow we'll in soils containing
an excess of iron, or where lime is
wholly absent.
Cut for hay when the first flowers
appear. If cut in full bloom, the hay
will be woody and less nutritious.
Cut for seed when the, middle clus-
terS of seed pods are dark brown.
To make alfalfa hay, cut in the fore
noon and let it wilt: then rake into
windrows. 1t should be cured in wind
rows and cocks, and stacked or put
in barns with as little handling as
! possible. Great care is required in
| order to get it in stack before the
leaves become too dry and brittle. The
leaves are the most palatable and nu-
tritious part of the hay.
In the arid regions, where irrigation
is practiced, put water on the field be-
fore sowing the seed, and Immediately
after cutting each crop of hay.
1t is not safe to pasture either cattle
or sheep on alfalfa, as they are liable
to bloat when it is fed green. Feed
them the hay, or practice soiling.

alfalfa. One acre will furnish paStur-
age for from ten to twenty hogs per
season.
Horses can be pastured on alfalfa.
| There is no better hay for work ami
mails, or for young, growing stock.
Alfalfa hay is not complete ration.
The best results are obtained by feed
ing it with corn fodder, ensilage,
wheat or oat straw, or roots. Alfalfa
contains large amounts of protein.

| Do not cut alfalfa too late in the
season.
Do not let water stand on a field
more than forty-eight hours.
Alfalfa hay, properly cured, has
| about the same value as red clover
| hay. The yield is much greater. 1t
can be cut from three or four to seven
or eight times in a season and yields
from ton to a ton and a half or
more at cutting.
| Six to ten bushels of seed is the
usual yield per acre.

Screen alfalfa seed before sowing, TO
separate the dodder and other weed
seeds. Dodder or love vine is the worst
enemy of alfalfa. Prevention is bet
ter than cure.

200 rabbits were made to bite the

These statistics prove several things.
First that these hunts are becoming

were less plentiful, or that good marks

HILL GOOD NATURED.
Accepts the Recent Defent as an In
cfdent to Politics.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. Ex-senator
David B. Hill was rendered a recep-
ton this afternoon by the Hennepin
Democratic league and it turned out to
be a rather sensational meeting.
President Martin of the league, in
introducing him, said that he con-
sidered him second to no man in the
party as regards able and patriotic
craftsmanship. If there was any eX-
ception it was Grover Cleveland. At
the mention of Cleveland's name there
were groans from some of the audi
ence.
Senator Hill first touched on the re-
cent defeat of the Democratic party
He said that perhaps it was caused by
departure from Democratic pre-
cedents, perhaps by party mistakes.
He accepted the verdict with good ma
ture and realized defeat was an Incl
dent to politics. He also said there
had been too much of a Discrimination
on the part of some party leaders, to
adopt the ideas of some other party.
This was always fatal TO success. He
urged the local Democrats to organize
and gave them some pra1ical advice.
His spirit of friendly interest mani
tested clearly his expectation to look
to Minnesota for support in his quest
of the presidency.

CHICAGO. Nov. 2S-John j. ingalls,, of
Kansas. has added a chapter to the MS
tory of Garfeld's nomination, a history
that Senator Sherman'S book is drawing
from the lips of American statesmen
and politicians. When asked if he had
any personal recollectons of incidents
connected with the Garfield episode Mr..
Ingalls, said:
Il happened to be in Washington on
business when Garfield died in september,
1881. and was one of the Senators named
to attend the remains to Cleveland MI
Sherman was also a member OF the
committee ana the tain had hardly LETT
the city limits before we fell into con-
versation about the dead president, his
character and his career. Mr.. sherman
spoke with intense fet ng and the I'M
preston left on my nina was that he be-
lieved that he had been betrayed by the
men chosen to advocate his (Shermans s.
nomination.
Have you any personal knowledge of
anything that would tend to show Gar.
fields attitude prior to his nomination!
For weeks before the convention Oh
1880 there were vague, mysterious, en-
tangling rumors and whispers of Garfield
in The air around the capitol at Wash
ington. / was sitting one day in May In
the Senate restaurant with Senator
now prominently mentioned as canal
date for the presidency. We were talk
ing about the contest then approaching
and agreed that considering the bitter
rivalry among the aSpirants, the nomlna-
ton of Garfield appeared to be not i'm
probable outcome. Just at that moment,
by a singular coincidence Garfield en-.
tered the room. We called him TO our
table and he Joined in our repast. We
mentioned the proverb about the devil
and his horns, told him what we had
been talking about and loosely rendered
him our CONGRATULATIONS and best wish
es for his success. He made an embar-
raised attempt at Tepartee and turning
the conversation, but his tone and man.
aIer left no doubt in my mind that the
subject was neither novel nor repulsive
to him. He was then a Representative
in Congress, United States Senator-eect,
and a delegate to the national conven-
ton. an extraordinary accumulation of
was justified in regarding himself as
favorite of fortune and child of destiny.
As 1 recall that conversation 1t seems
like the incredible climax of romance
that within less than eighteen months
he was nominated for the presidency.

II was in college with Garfield said
Mr.. Ingalls,. though not in the same
class, and our relations were cordial and
friendly until his death. He was incap-
able of intrigue. treason or stratagem,
but his temperament was emotional and
ardent. and his sensibi!ity was excessive.
His mind was capacious and his nature
generous and sincere. The fatal defect

ALFALFA CULTURE.

The following summary of facts and
suggestions touching on the salient
features of alfalfa culture are taken

issued by the Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington:
Alfalfa seed weighs 60 pounds to the
bushel.
For a hay crop SOW 20 to 80 pounds
of seed per acre.
For a crop of seed sow IA to Is
pounds per acre.
Sow clean seed
In California SOW alfalfa in spring CT
autumn. Sow in drills. In the South
sow in drills 16 to 20 inches apart, and
cultivate the first season.
Do not cover the seed too deep.

In the evening they went to the Salt
Lake theatre as the guests of The
Herald. Schilling's minstrels were the
attraction, and the boys enjoyed the
show hugely. Many a burnt cork ar
fist had to repeat and re-repeat his
speciality because of the persistent ap-
piause of the jolly company of news
boys. For a short time after the thea
tire let out the boys remained, giving
cheers for this, that and the other
thing. and then went home, saying
that the theatre and The Herald was

Christensen's Ball.
Afternoon and evening balls were
given yesterday at Christensen's hall
and both attracted large crowds. At
the matinee ball a pleasant feature
was the butterfly dance by Miss Groes-
beck and Miss Clawson, who perform
ed the pretty dance with their usual
grace.
The Thanksgiving ball was the most
successful one given this season by the
Christensen brothers.

HOW TO FEED.

All good feeders recognize the neces-
sity of a liberal diet in the feeding Of
all kinds of stock if the work is to be
made profita BILE. Every growing ami
NAL requires a certain quantity OF
food to simply keep it alive, and it
would be possible to so regulate the
feeding of an animal that it should
neither gain nor lose in weight for a
long period During that time the
very considerable quantity of food
which it would have consumed would
be, from an economical beef-produc-
ton point of view. entirely wasted;
and it does not require much consider
alton to understand that it Is only
when food in excess of the quantity
required for bare subsistence is given
that a profitable return can be OBJ
tanned. From this it may be said
without fear of contradiction, that true
economy in feeding lies in the shorten
ing of fattening operation.

Hundred Years.


Her Tribesmen Say Her Age Is Three
Hundred Years.
Is it Mr.. Rider Haggard S 'She" who
has just fallen into the hands of the
Beers? The Lydenburg correspondent of
South Africa sends to that paper an in
teresting account of the capture of the
Queen Majajie, or Great She" who
seems to have had a wonderful history.
"a peculiar fact is that her own
tribe have never seen her. Only her in
dumas were allowed to see her. They
number 92 The commander i'll chief is
Jonas, an aged man. The rest are vir-
tually young men. Only three women
were ever allowed to see her One is a
bearded female, with beard fully two
inches long from her chin. Around the
sacred kraal are wooden images, repre-
senting every nation of Kaffir, and all
sorts of animals beautifully carved out
of wood.
"She's" residence was an ordinary
round hut, we'll built, and when she
ate meat she had to be carried by her
indunas to another kraal, and even then
her nation was not allowed to see her.
'She had her great medicine tree in
a forest, and all sorts of signs and SYM
bols existed there, sacred to the Kaffir
mind, and in a kraal near the tree were
40 fine fat slaughter oxen inClosed.
The general had her carried by her
trusty indunas to the mead lager and
allowed the Knobnosen friendly natives
to see this wonderful woman they had
so often heard Of Her own tribe also
gazed ON her in some wonder.
The queen is of great age, fully 40,
it is supposed, although her tribesmen
say 800.
"She is of light copper color, with a
friZzy sort Of wool on her head and wears
a sort of hood of tiger skin. Only her
neck and face are bare. All her body is
covered with royal tiger skins. The
general would not allow the burghers
to interfere with the wooden images,
charms, etc A missionary, the Rev.
Mr.. Ruiter, who has lived l3 years near
Majajie's and only seen her when cap
tured, asked her why she had not al
lowed him to call on her. She politely
replied, That is my business.
1t is feared the queen will not long
survive her capture.
