Alfalfa In Eastern Kansas,

Alfalfa Is essential to the cheapest
production in Kansas of beef, pork,
milk, and the rapid growth OF young
animals. Alfalfa is our best enricher,
bringing up plant food TO the surface
soil from greater depths than any
other crop plant grown in Kansas.
Hogs fattened on grain and alfalfa
hay showed a gain OF S6S pounds of
pork per ton or hay and hogs on al
falfa pasture showed a gain OF TN
pounds per acre of pasture. Alfalfa
hay Is our cheapest milk-producing
food. and when fed with other farm
feeds induces a full milk yield without
the use of purchased feed stuffs. Feed
ers report nearly double the usual
gains in fattening steers where alfalfa
is used for roughness.
1t seems imperative, then, that
every Kansas farmer should grow al
falfa II possible, yet we find but little
Of 1t grown In eastern Kansas. Most
trials OF alfalfa In this section Of the
state have been failures, but we have
found alfalfa grown successfully under
almost every condition OF soil to be
found in the eastern part of the state.
and the writer believes that 80 per
cent of eastern Kansas Is a natural
alfalfa country. Alfalfa will not grow
on wet land nor where rock comes near
the surface. 1t is easiest grown where
the subsoil Is rich and porous, but good
crops have been harvested many years
in succession on land unierlaid with
as tough and hard subsoilsas there are
In the state. A successful alfalfa
grower Of wide experience said that
any land which will produIe good corn
regularly and on which cotton wood
trees do we'll Is good alfalh land. This
Is a fairly safe guide. Tn, failures in
alfalfa growing in eastern Kansas have
come where methods suitable for west
ern Kansas have been abpted. and
successes have followed where entire
ly different methods have been used.
In eastern Kansas, owini to MANY
years OF cultivation and d good rain
fall, the land Is weedy. The usual
experience Is as follows: found thor

system In Naming Anima,s.

On this subject Mr.. Thomas McFar-
lane, Secretary Of the American Aber-
deem Angus Breeders Association,
says: Rule 7th. Sec. Sd. Of the by
laws very wisely forbids duplicate
names. But this rule leads to endless
correspondence regarding names. All
common names such as Alice, Amy,
Ann, Bob, Beauty, Dandy, as well as
uncommon ones as Klondyke, Dewey
and Shafter, are quickly taken. There
fore some plan in naming animals is
essential. Adopting an appropriate
prefix to names has proved helpful in
avoiding duplicate names And is in
use by many breeders. Suppose for
Instance Leon" is ADOPTED as a pre-.
nix. Then the first calf from a given
dan II a male could be named Leon
Jock" the second Leon Jock I'd or if
a female Leon Bess' and a second
female Leon Bess I'd and SO on In
dennitely for calves out of that dam
and thus have names in stock ready
for any number of calves, before they
are born. Another dams calves could
start with Leon Prince" calling the
next Leon Prince I'd" and so on for
males, and for female calves the first
Leon Princess the following females
from same dam Leon Princess I'd
"a, 4th, etc. II one adopts a prefix
after ascertaining that It is not pre-
empted by another party, 1t will be
held for his exclusive use. The adj
vantage of a prefix over an afix ia
that all ones animals SO named will
be grouped together wherever indexed
as In the herd book, etc, and thus
prove a great convenience beside max
ing a good showing Of ones breeding.
There Is an endless variety OF ayal,-
able names to choose from for prefixes.
In a prefix brevity Is desirable. for
'Hollyhock Grove Farm Highlander"
would be a sockdollager of a name.
The word Farm" can well be LETT out.
Elmwood, Elmdale. Oakdale, Oakwood,
.Grovedale. Walnutwood and Quietdale
may now be in use, but they illustrate
taste and brevity In the choice OF a
prefx. ~ Is not a trifing act to Ak on
or beast, for life, a harsh sound
name. Surely 'Quietdale Edwin"
sounds better arl Is less e~xasperating
than 'Exasl Grating For" "Enterpris-
Ing Statesman" or "Mephibosheth."

TICKET OFFICE AT
KENOSHA ROBBED.
Someone Knowing Combination of
Safe in North-W Western Sta
ton Gets Much Booty.

Kenosha. Wis, Jan. 27.-[ Special. J.
The ticket office of the North Western
railway in this city was entered by bur
glars some time during the night and a
large amount of yaluables were taken.
The robbers was of the most mysterious
nature. The company had man en-
ployed as night telegraph operator. but
he can give no facts that will assist in
solving the mystery OF the crime.
The safe was not blown open. but it
seems that it was opened by one KNOWN
the combination. This combination is
known only TO the agent and he left the
office 1t 8 o'clock
In regard to the robbery this morning
Agent Seymour stated that it was not
possible TO give any estimate of the booty
secured by the robbers. The money
drawer was found in the yards and it
had been rifed of its contents. 1t is
thought that the loss will be about $500,
although the agent says that ii IS Il little
less than that amount. A large number
of tickets were also taken.
The robbery is thought TO have been
more serious than reported by the rail
road officials OH account of the fact that
the. company has sent a large number Of
railway detectives to the city TO invest
gate the crime.

True and False Mahometans.

An extraordinary scene was enacted by
a real and mock Mussulman outside !,
boulevard cafe in Paris on Wednesday
evening. A law student, having had him
self photographed in the costume Of a
Mahometan mosque dignitary, walked
about the streets in the strange garb.
and then sat outside the refreshment es-
tablshment with a glass of absinthe be-
fore him. Soon there passed that way Il
genuine follower of the Prophet, who
could scarcely believe his eyes when he
saw a person dressed as an imaum inn
bibing strong drink. Rushing at the
student, the Mussulman knocked the
glass out of his hand and smashed a bot
tie also on the table at which the appar-
ent imaum sat. The student was not
backward in defending himself, and as
the two men were graphing with one an
other the police INTERVIEWED and took
them both to the station. There Ali Ben
Mahommed, the real Islamite, finding
that he had only an imitation imaum to
deal with, excused his fury. The pair
were then sent away, the law student
having been severely reprimanded by the
police official for his disrespect toward
the religion OF the Prophet.-Birmingham

During the seventeen years that have
elapsed since Mrs. Langtry first came 10
New York there have not occurred such
changes in her personal appearance as
happen to most women in such q period.
She is thinner and that makes her look
less coarse The loss of flesh, however,
has not taken from her certain hard
ness of feature and GOODNESS that would
brighten off all but the very brave or the
very foolish from falling very desperately
in love with her beauty.
Mrs. Hugo de Battle, as she is now en-
titled TO be called. is not the recipient Of
much social attention now. When she
landed here first she received almost as
many fayOrS as might have been show

less she were obeyed, or seemed TO be

In those days Mrs Langtry had no pre-

wooden, stilted and affected. Avowedly
she did not rely upon her ability, but
upon her value as curiosity. The Amer

Fright. Not Fascination.

Naturalists are not at all agreed upon

serpent's eye fall fiat III the face of sci
entifc accuracy. What can be said Of
snakes, however, is that their very ap.
pearance paralyzes the victim. 1t cannot
move for fright, for its faculties are tenn
porarily suspended. There is no fasci-
nation about this, however 1t is fright
