Ulfalfa and Caffir Corn.

IL Farmers Of this vicinity have
finally found out that cafir corn is
one Of the best crops for upland.
Land will produce on an average
from 80 to 40 per cent. more feed
when planted to caffir corn than
when planted to common Indian
corn. The dry weather does not
kill it out, nor does wet weather
drown out There will be large
acreageIof this crop planted..neXtyear
Alfalfa is also coming to the front
as an upland crop; farmers who have
raised it are well pleased with it. 1t
is claimed that from two to three
times as much stock will live on an
acre of alfalfa than any other crop
that can be raised. Many farmers
near Fredonia and Coyville almost
raise their hogs on alfalfa. and the
farmers of the vicinity of Chanute
are beginning to experiment with it.
The time to SOW alfalfa is in the
spring; the ground should be plowed
we'll in the fall and winter and the
seed sown IN February or March,
and if the season is favorable from
one to two crops of hay can be cut
from it the first year, or if it is want
ed for pasture, stock can be turned
on it by July or August.

Deter Farming,

- 1t is noticeable, that since boom
days are past and people generally
have come to know that call com
mon good has common price,
Kansas has taken on an air of perma-
nency, Houses are put up to live
in and notnecessariiy to sell, Farm
ers are planting orchards and build
ing barns and sheds for their stock
with reference to fitness and use in
stead of to make them show up well
in an application for loan Stock
of all kinds is being bred up, and it
is no uncommon thing for stockrais-
ers to ship animals to places east Of
theMississippi river for breedingpur-
poses. Many of the fastest horses
in the country are Kansas bred. Far
mers are not running wildly into
debt as they once did, and the en-
tire business system seems to have
been re-juvenated. Five years ago,
three out of every four farms we're
for sale or trade for town property,
while today, there is not one in ten
of the Kansas farms on the market
Farmers are beginning to know that
they are the true plutocrats; that the
town people of Kansas depend al
most entirely On the farmers for
their living. Farm boys are learn
ing that their lots are not SO hard,
and that while their week day clothes
may be coarser than those of the
town boy, they have the satisfaction
of knowing they are paid for. Most
of the farm boys own horses and
buggies, and see as much or more
pleasure than their city neighbors,
Kansas is an agricultural state, anc
the people who are tillers of the sol
are certainly in better conditions or
an average than the wage earners
who congregate in the town.

munity SO that those fraudently draw
ing pensions could be apprehended
and dealt with according to law.
The facts are that they have been
published once; whenever a pension
is allowed, it is published in the
press dispatches and the local papers
republish them, but let them be pub
lished. The friends of the boys
who carried the guns are no more in
favor of fraudulent pensions than
their enemies. The soldiers them
selves are ready and willing to help
apprehend and prosecute impostors.
But this talk of fraud is all poppy
cock; there is no department of the
government but what is imposed on
more or less, but the following from
the National Tribune, a paper pub
lishcd in the city Of Washington, and
having access to all pension matters
ought to convince the most skeptical
,bat there is less fraud carried on in
pension matters than any Of which
any record is kept, involving the eX-
Denditure of so much money.

CUBAN INsURGEN ~.
sesoguized rs Rctiigcreats by the
Uniied states senate.

NtSNg"sEf" nFtttE'Feusr Nv tne
United states senate.
Washington, May 20. - The
Senate of the United States today
recognized the Cuban insurgents
as belligerents, after an exciting
debate, by adopting the joint reso-
! luton introduced by Senator
Morgan of Alabama, but it is not
likely that President Mckinley
will be called upon to take action
upon the resolution. The reso-
luton would not be sent to him
for his approval until it had been
adopted by the House, and
whether the House takes it MP
must be decided hereafter. 1t is
known that Mr.. Kinley desires the
postponement of final Congress
sional action on the Cuban uues-
ton until the report OF Commits
sioper Calhoun, who is on the
island TO investigate the conditions
| there, has been made.
Hitt,t Republican leader in the
House, said guardedly in the de
bate today that the adoption Of
the Morgan resolution at this
time might embarrass negotia-
tons which the President hes in
mind to secure the independence
of Cuba, and although Hit ex-
pressly disclaimed that he spoke
by authority, it was we'll known
that he had been in consultation
with the President on Cuban
affairs, and his utterances were
taken as reflection of the wish of
the Executive. The Senate reso-
luton can be brought before the
House only by special rule, and
Speaker Reed is known to be OPP
posed to it's adoption at this time.
| The following is the full text Of
the resolution:
Resolved, by the Senate and
House of Representatives, That a
condition of public war exists be-
tween the Government of Spain
and the Government proclaimed
and for some time maintained by
force of arms by the people Of
Cuba, and that the United States
of America shall maintain a
strict neutrality between the con-
