board Of agriculture. Monday, Issued a
quarterly report upon Forage and Fod-
ders- The report IS devoted 10 discus
sion OF the production, uses and values
of various pasture aud fodder plan t.
especially those found best suited 10 the
purposes of Kansas farmers ana stock
growers. The report also contains the
papers and discussions of the twenty

cover page:
s'Majestic, fruitful. wondrous planiI
The corn triumphant. that with the aid of
man hath made victorious procession
across the tuf.ed plain, and laid founda-
tion for the social excellence that is. and
is to be. This glorious plant, transmitted
by the alchemy of God, sustains the
warrior in battle, the poet in song, and
Strengthens everywhere the thousand
arms that work the purposes of Ife.''
This language was used IN a public ad-
dress by Governor Dick Oglesby Of Hi
nois.
The report has 3O4 pages, with seventy
five illustrations. The introductory con
sists of John J. Ingalls, celebrated pro-
duction on grasses
Dir. Coburu then concludes by saying:
''Kansas is grass empire.

qualities, and economy of production.

The Arkansas river has been pretty full
since our last report, but yesterday morn
ing the Old sand bar was clear out of
sight, and on rampage. The water
covered a great porticn of the park
grounds, and had invaded some of the
low lands OH the south side. The flow of
water was nearly great as the Hood
of five years ago- At that time the water
covered a portion of the Rock Island
bridge and washed ont some piles of the
wagon bridge. This vast volume of
muddy water sent an odor that was
not pleasing to the sense of SMELL All
decayed matter between the source of the
Arkansas and this point was washed into

KANSAS HAS AN ALFALFA Boom.

KANSAS HAS AN ALFALFA BOOM.
Kansas dairymen have for a long
time known that alfalfa Is the best
feed for COWS, and lately the dairy
men of the east have begun to find
1T out. z. D. Coburn, secretary of
the State Board of Agriculture, and
general advertising agent for Kan
sas, tells an alfalfa story wherever
he goes, and his efforts are fruit
full. Dairymen all over the country,
as q result of the agitation started
by Mr.. Coburn, are xperimenting
with alfalfa-much of it from Kansas
and the market value of the pro-
duct Is increasing. Yesterday s
quotation was from $3.50 to 50 a ton.
The quotation on clover y as from ST
to IS ton. Kansas dairymen be-
lieve that alfalfa will eventually take
the-place of clover feed for mich
COWS in the east and elsewhere
When Mr.. Coburn was in Boston
last October representing Kansas at
the Farmers Congress, he met
George H Ellis, a Boston publisher,
who has a dairy of 200 COWS at West
Newton, Boston suburb Mr. Co
burn talked Kansas alfalfa to Ellis,
and induced him to try car load of
it for his cows Ellis ordered the
alfalfa from Mitchell county. Yester-
day Mr.. Coburn received a report
1IOlA I4Ii1S res t10 SADS1ALAShN.
Tt follows:
IF this experiment proves any
thing it indicates the value of alfalfa
to be pound for pound about 40 per
cent more for feeding than our
clover mixed hay, and gives clear
indication of the great value of al
falfa for feeding under these condi-
tions provided we could raise it our
selves or buy 1T at price approx
mating that of clover and clover
mixed
In 1899 the alfalfa acreage in
Kansas was 27S, AT, an increase of
81 -65 per cent over that of 1895
The first record of alfalfa was made
in 1891 when the acreage was only
"a, ,384. In 1892 the acreage was
90, ,583. an increase of 81 per cent.
The acreage has increased rapidly
ever since.
Alfalfa can be cut from 2 to 5
times every season, and the yield is
from to 6 tons per acre Clover
can be cut but once a seoson, and the
yield is from q ton to Il tons per
acre.

Why a man pays taxes and what he
gets i'll return is figured ont in this
manner by an exchange: a man with
81 1000 worth of property is likely to pay
from ten to fifteen dollars year taxes
For this, il lie lives in the city he gets
the service of the police for securing
quiet observance of the law; he gets fire
protection from fires; he gets education
for his children; officials to look after
the streets and sidewalks; laws
enacted By the legislature; officials to see
that no insurance companies prey upon
the public; the benefits of the courts at a
normal figure for the iitigant. If he lives
in the country he gets bridges. roads and
many OF the above enumerated advgn-
tages also. Sometimes the taxpayer finds
it hard to spare he money he pays for
taxes but he would find it great deal
harder to get along without what his
money pays for
