australian Alfa1fa-Fed stock.

Tn Australia the great value Of lu-
eerne to the pastoralist consists in
grazing stock on it, says a writer in
Australasian. The employment OF many
hands in farming operations, such as
conserving Iucerne in the form of hay
or ensilage is dreaded by all flock and
herd owners. Nevertheless l am
firm believer in the conservation of
fodder in both forms, so that the stock
may be helped over bad season. by
the aid of modern agricultural ma
chinery hay-making is easily ana
cheaply performed, and the labor ana
cost are still less when ens1lage Is
made. Many stock-owners are of op1n-
ion that lucerne is better for making
fairly good sheep and cattle prime
than for fattening stores from the hrst.
In both cases the stock would prob
ably do better if they had grass pad
dock with the lucerne. All stock like
change of food, and will do better
with a change than with a single ar
ticle of food, no matter how nutritious
it may be. While on MIR. j. S. Hors-
falls estate of Widglewa l met with
EOOQ liluSLIdIlOn VI bhO 'oNoS - -
cerne on a pastoral property Inc
manager (Mr. Morrison) weans the
stud lambs at very early age, and
when taken from their dams they are
put on lucerne The result is that
the lambs never sustain the slightest
check, and the ewes, relieved from the
burden of having to support a lamb,
come into the shearing -shed in splen-
did condition. l saw the stud ewes
about month after the lambs were
weaned, and they were kicking up
their heels as if the cares and troubles
of maternity did not exist. The very
heavy fieeces yielded by the lambs on
this estate are sufficient recommends
ton of the practice of early weaving
on lucerne. In a favorable winter In
Riverina there is often a good growth
of lucerne, but it is not nearly as nu-
tritious as that of spring and summer
growth. Mr.. P. Mcfarland told me
that he had made an experiment which
proved this He divided flock of
wethers equally, one-half he placed on
lucerne, the other on native grass.
They were sold at the same time, and
those off grass were better, and real
lied a higher price than the others.
Australian live stock husbandry Is
upon new development,
which will be FASTENED by the growing
Of wheat in Riverina, and in this de-
7elopment lucerne is destined to play
L very important part. 1t will cause
louble, if not treble, the number of
stock to be kept, and it will provide
he fodder (made into hay or ensilage),
hat will cause the losses from
thoughts to be reduced till they will
,e scarcely worth recording.

The recent death of A. w. Harris,
the English racing man, resulting from
fall in a race en- a cement track, has
provoked comment upon the dangers
of bicycle racing, and also the use OF
cement tracks. A well-known rider in
discussing this subject claims that
cycle racing is about the safest sport
for men yet invented. This fact he
claims is exemplified when it is taken
into consideration the hundreds who
compete in races each week, the ter
rife speed at which they travel, tae
excitement inseparable from such con-
tests and the imperfections of some OF
the tracks in use. Wonder is excited
that there are not more accidents, and
that the few which do occur are not
more serious Racing men entertain
hopes that the few serious accidents
that take place will have the effect of
bringing cycling clubs and racing asso-
Citations to a realization of the few
dangers that now exist, in order that
they may be eliminated. The suitability
OF tracks and the overcrowding of the
same, particularly in short distance
races, are points that should engage
the attention of the racing authorities.
Improved tracks and competent off,
Gals at race meets, it is felt, will soon
mitigate the small chances of accident
that now exist.

used, passing through rollers at such

NONRESIDENT Cattlemen in Kansas
Farmers and cattlemen in Western
Kansas have contended for twenty
years against the encroachments of
nonresident cattlemen, who bring their
stock in the spring into the state and
run them" in some instances assum-
ing the prerogative Of building fences
promiscuously across the country under
alleged leases. This has been going on
for years and has caused great Difficult
ty for the small cattle raisers. The
nonresident owners secured all benefits
and escaped all taxation. To remedy
this Hamilton county representative
has introduced bill providing that all
nonresident cattlemen having stock on
pasture shall pay into the county treas
ury certain sum. 1t is not intended
by the measure to gain heavy revenues.

SOUTH SIDE TEACHERS.

The last meeting for the year Of the
South Side Teachers Association met
in the Lamberton school building
May 8, 1897. The meeting was we'll
attended and of unusual interest.
Both Mr.. Bargen and Mr.. Race we're
present and added to the interest by
their helpful remarks. Roll call was
responded to by answers TO the ques-
tion "What is the aim of education? -
This was followed by talk on the
responsibilities of school teacher, by
Mr.. Bargen. He drew from his ex-
perience as Superintendent to show
the great amount of influence that the
teacher has over the pupil. and spoke
of several ways in which this influence
is manifested that many teachers
would not think of. One suggestion
as to wastefulness called up quite a
discussion Of ways aud means Of over
coming that tendency which is so
prevalent at the present day. Follow
ing this was talk by Mr.. Russell Oh
"Our Mistakes" The lesson on Civ
les was omitted to give more time to
the discussion of the questions on
Theory and Practice led by Mr.. Race.
He said that most of the teachers had,
within the last two years, changed the
time OF the arithmetic recitations to
the first thing in the morning, and
drew out the opinions of the teachers
present as to the reasons for SO doing.
The hour for closing came all to soon
and they adjourned to meet again at
the beginning of the next school year.

SEWER EXTENSIONS.
Council Advertises for Bids for
Three Streets,

The city council held an adjourned
meeting at the Office of tie city re-
corder last Thursday evening. The
question of the proposed sewer extern
sion construction was taken up at the
opening of the meeting, and at the
very outset the bid of P. H. Thornton
of st. Paul for the construction of the
sewer on Second street from Washing
ton avenue to the Jail was rejected.
The bid for the work, less than two
blocks, was $5eS, and it was consid-
cred very much too high for the work
to be done.
In view of the rejection of the bid
the council decided to advertise for
new bids for that piece of work as
we'll as for the extension of the sys-
tenn from in front of the Commercial
Hotel on Washington avenue south to
Fourth street, thence east on Fourth
street to Lincoln, and then on Lincoln
to a place directly in front of the
school house. It was also decided to
extend it from Second street on court
house place between the Thompson
building and Moons blacksmith shop
to the court house. The estimate for
the whole work, according to state
ment prepared by the city engineer,
was about $1,000. The county COM
missioners have agreed to furnish $500
for the work on Second street to the
county JAIL and also for all of the
work on the sewer system from Sec
ond to the court house. This leaves
the city to pay for only the work on
the system to the schoolhouse, and
there is enough money in the treasury
to pay for the same at the present
time. The fact that much larger
job is to be awarded will cause other
contractors to put in bid and will
undoubtedly greatly lessen the cost of
the work.
Supt. Parkhill of the city water
works was instructed to connect the
G.. A. R. encampment grounds with
the city water hydrant at the corner
of Bridge and Mill streets and to fur
nish water for the grounds during the
encampment free of charge. The con-
nection will be made by a reducer on
the hydrant and will carry water to
all necessary places on the grounds. 5.
Street Commissioner McGettrick
was notified to notify all owners hav-
ing sidewalks in need of repair to re-
pair the same at once. 1t is desirous
of having all Of these walks repaired
before the encanpment. Lots should
also be cleaned prior to that time and
thus give the city the best possible
appearance when the old soldiers
move on this city for a three days
siege.
The council levied poll tax of So
on every voter at the last election.
This includes the ladies who cast their
ballots for county superintendent of
schools at the November election.
The water works committee was al
SO directed to secure water meters for
the livery stables of FL. D. Everett and
j. V. McGettrick, the Barnes Bros.
stable already having one.

tel ruins came up, but the proper pa
pers were not prepared and the mat
