Some of the cattlemen are
trou bled just now to find place
to winter their herds. One m an
was heard to say that he had
tried to find pasturage and feed
in the adjoining counties, as we'll
as this, and, as a final resort, he
would be compelled to ship his
cattle upon the market, where,
at the present depressed prices,
they will not bring much over
half their value. Another man
told us that he knew where he
could buy a herd of fine, fat cows
with calves at their sides for SIS
per head, the owner, having no
pasture for them, was forced to
sell them. Not long since these
cows would have brought $40 or
$50. Some of the cattlemen are
well prepared for the winter.
There are several fields of feed
in the county which are as good
as any ever grown, Of course,
the owners of the fields are in
high spirits, as the market is ex-
pected to recover, and even over
rate its normal prices, when the
winter is over, and these fellows
who can tide their cattle over are
in luck.-Ashland Clipper.

The Value of Alfalfa.
ON the Experiment Station Bulletin.

From the Experiment Station Bulletin.
Alfalfa. when sold, will prob
ably return a greater cash in
come year by year than any 9TH
err feed crop raised in Kansas.
When fed on the farm where
raised it ranks among the most
profitable crops.
AT this Station, pigs are pas
tured through the summer on al
falfa with light feeding of corn.
After deducting the probable
gain from the corn, the gain per
acre from the alfalfa pasture was
776 pounds of pork. One lot of
fattening hogs were fed all the
grain they would eat; another lot
all the grain and dry alfalfa hay
they would eat. The lot having
the hay made a gain of s68
pounds of pork per ton of alfalfa
hay. Alfalfa should form part
of the daily ration of every grow
ing pig and of all stock hogs.
With scrub cows fed alfalfa
hay and Kafr-corn grain, at or
binary prices for feed, butter
fat was produced at a cost for
feed of seven cents per prund.
On the College farm young cat
tie are wintered on alfalfa hay
and corn, kaffr-corn or soghum
fodder, and make through the
winter a good growth without
grain.
A stockman in Rice county,
Kansas, made a gain of 5 pounds
per day per head on steers for
forty-seven days with alfalfa hay
and corn. In ordinary feeding,
1000 pounds of grain are requir-
ed to put 100 pounds of gain on
fattening steer. With alfalfa
hay and corn-meal, at this sta
ton, fattening steers made 100
pounds gain for each 718 pounds
of grain.
Alfalfa makes good pasture for
horses. Horsemen report gain
of six pounds day per head on
horses pastured on alfalfa and
given a light ration of corn or
kafr-corn.
Alfalfa hay is one of the best
feeds for sheep that is grown,
and both green and dry alfalfa
are valuable feeds for poultry.
At the Wyoming Experiment
Station, part of field was seed
ed to alfalfa and part planted to
a variety of field crops. At the
the end of five years, the alfalfa
was plowed up and planted to
the same crops as the other part
of the field. Wheat, on the part
kept for FIVE years in alfalfa,
yielded thirty bushels per acre;
on the the other part, eighteen
bushels. Alfalfa increases the
fertility of the land and improves
its physical condition, making
stiff soils mellow and binding
loose soils. Kansas farmers
need alfalfa for profitable feed.
ing; and they need alfalfa for in.
creasing the yield of their other
crops.

Upon arriving in New York
from Europe, last week, Richard
Croker said the following in ref
erence to the death of President
Mckinley: when the whole
American nation is filled with
sorrow at the untimely death of
our chief magistrate, it is no
time to talk politics. Under the
great affection that has befallen
us, Democrats and Republicans
stand side by side as American
citizens with uncovered heads,
shocked and grief stricken at the
bier of our dead president"

A remarkable operation was per-
formed by dozen keepers on . 13-foot
alligator which Is kept in the Bronx
200 at New York. The alligator. which
is a powerful animal, showed signs Of
herceness for some time. He wound
up one morning by killing an eight-foot
companion in the same tank. Then Il
was decided that the big ones teeth
should be- cut. A rope with q sling
was lowered over his head and drawn
taut; the tail was similarly treated!
Each one of the legs was next secured
in like manner. BY patience and re-
peated trials . issso was got into the
ponderous jaw. The alligator gave .
bite and the rope parted like thread.
Then . wire rope was secured. This
was finally got into place.
Sticks were pried between the jaws
to keep them from ella shing together.
Thus held, the reptile lay helpless and
the work of saving on some Of the
longsst and most dangerous teeth was
soon accomplished. ------. -
