Government Ownership.


Every now and then something oc-
ours which pays homage to some de-
mand of the Omaha platform. II the
Southern Pacific shall carry out its
order to take off the through fast
train from Ogden to San Francisco,
reducing It's service on that branch of
the great continental road to a slow
way train each day, there will be
thousands Of converts to the plank
Of the Omaha platform which calls
for government ownership of rail-
roads. 1t is when some gigantic and
insolent corporation wantonly does an
act which destroys properties of i'm
mense values and tramples upon
rights that have practically become
vested, that the public realize the
power of the unclaimed monster, and
the absolute necessity of putting it
under restraint.
The prosperity Of cities, the prices
OF products and the convenience Of
the public are more at the mercy of
railroad corporations than Of any
other power or agency. BY discriml-
mating in rates they build up one
locality and pull down another; by
rebates aud secret reductions to fav-
ored firms and companies they ad-
vance some to millionaires and reduce
numbers to beggary; by extortlonate
freight rates they render the products
Of the soil worthless, or at best reduce
them to fuel or feed for animals; by
combination they control congress
and state legislatures and name the
laws which they permit to be enacted
The vast aggregated wealth Of rail
way companies, combined and direct
ed against every interest than their
own, has become q dangerous menace

ties the average yearly rainfall.is very
light, and this plan of irrigating the
plowed field before the seed Is in the
ground is the best that has been tried
The field must be moved and raked
off several times during the, first sea-
son to prevent the weeds reseeding
themselves, or as often as the weeds
grow Up and threaten to smother the
young alfalfa. To SOW field broad
cast or to drill with machine, from
twenty to twenty-five or even thirty
pounds of Feed per acre may be
necessary to insure a good stand. A
better quality of hay will be got from
an acre on which thirty pounds of
seed are used than from one on which
only half that amount has been sown.
Alfalfa stems become hard aud woody
if the plants are too far apart, and the
hay from such field is coarse and
unpalatsble. There will be more
waste in feeding to cattle or horses
than if the stems are thinner and
softer, as they surely will be if more
seed Is sown and there is thicker
stand. If the land is under ditch,
water may be turned on the field once
or twice during the first summer, or
oftener if needed.
Land on which alfalfa is to succeed
must be we'll drained here as in the
East. 1t is a mistaken idea that al
falfa fields must be kept continuously
water-soaked. The plant can not and
will not grow with wet feet. The soil
must be deep, rich, and mellow, and
the ground water not less than six or
eight feet below the surface. The soil
in which 1t most deAIghts is dry and
we'll drained, and if, in addition to
these qualities, the lay of the field is
such that water can be turned on
once or twice during the hot, dry
summer, the very best conditions for
the growth of alfalfa will be attained.
In preparing the field great care
must be taken to have the surface
smooth and mellow. II it is intended
to irrlgate, the land must be thorough
ly leveled, and this leveling process
will be much facilitated if the field is
irrigated before the seed is planted.
The high and low places will thus
show themselves, and they can be
scraped down or filled up. 1t will
pay to have the land perfectly smooth;
more ground can be irrigated by one
man in day, and the water can be
put to more economical ust. Deep
blowing is necessary to obtain the
best results. Alfalfa will grow, and
has often been reported as growing,
on land the surface of which had
been just lightly scratched; but the
yield from such a field IS never as
heavy as when the ground has been
thoroughly and deeply stirred for the
reception Of the coed. II the ground
is clayey or heavy, and has any ten
dency to form crust after being wet,
