WORTH MORE THAN SILVER.
Noiorado's Fields Of Alfalfa Are of
Greater Value Than Her Most
Productive Mines,

Great as is the wealth of the state
of Colorado in silver she has far
more valua bic product in the roval
purple alfalfa that supplies fodder
for the innumera bic herds that roam
the plains and feed in the valleys.
Last year the value of the alfalfa
crop was placed at $10,O0O,0OO vet
that does not represent its contrib
utory worth, says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
In 1862 the introduction of this
| grass into the state solved the prob
lem of forage, which up to that time
had puzzled the pioneers, who had
not been able to raise success sfully
any other form of forage. Alfalfa
made possible the great stock grow
ing industry of the state. Last year
the aggregate number of horses, cat
tie, hogs and sheep, according to the
assessors returns, was 100000, val
ued at $45,000,000. Excepting the
range sheep and cattle and some
horses in the cities alfalfa formed
the greatest part of the food of
all these animals. Thus dairying,
a new but rapidly developing indus
try, depends on alfalfa.
The great grain farms and potato
ranches used this product as well.
Alfalfa is peerless as soil renovator
and enricher. It's long roots, pene-
trating to a depth below the surface
that other plants cannot reach, gath
er the needed elements, and, decay
ing, liberate them for the benefit of
future crops.
The Colorado farmer has learned
that rotating crops of wheat and al
falfa make the average yield of
wheat in Colorado % bushels to the
acre, while the average for the whole
country is less than II bushels. The
same rotation has produced the IA
nous Greeley potato, as inimitable in
its way as the Rocky Ford melon.
The Colorado stock farmer mas dis
covered that cattle may be fattened
at home without sending them to
the corn states and that alfalfa pro-
duces beef, not tallow. He has dis
covered that pigs turned into the al
falfa patch during the summer are
ready for market in the fail, and that
"alfalfa mutton" brings the top price
in the east. The small rancher knows
that his chickens. geese, ducks and
,.elgian hares are finer for the alfalfa
that forms part of their daily food,
and that his alfalfa honey equals, il
it does not excel, the delicious white
sage honey of California.

OKLAHOMA FARMERS
AS Rule Are Possessed of Much In
tclliSence and Are Industrious
and Progressive

A characteristic of Oklahoma is the
high grade of intelligence of its farm
| ing population. This is easily account
ed for. The man who has moved from
the place where his ancestors have
lived for many generations has wild
ened his mental vision. He may not be
| richer in material wealth, but he is
richer IN experience, writes Congress
man d. T. Flynn, in Success. The av-
| erage Oklahoma farmer has moved
twice. There is nothing of the back
| woodsman about him, nor of the set
| tied. satisfied Grone of the oder
states. IL fact, there is no difference
il intelligence between a farming and
city population. A majority of
Oklahomans have been in more affiu-
ent and influential circumstances the
consequence is that present occupa-
ton or condition argues nothing a o
their intelligence or education. That
is matter of circumstances They
have gone to the wall" some where
during the depressed condition of the
country up to four years ago. and.
rather than persist any longer in the
unequal struggle, have thrown up the
sponge" so to speak, and come out
here where there are fewer distinc-
tions, where everybody is an old cit
izen after six months. and where every
mature man can vote and run for
Office. This newness, this unsettled
condition. it is, that induces that eX-
ira activity, noticeable between the
country and the town. Coming from
everywhere, Oklahomans have word
wide interests. They receive and
write more letters, and take and read
more papers. They come to town oft
ener. Each is, in himself, a rural de-
livery. He is heir to all improve ments.
There are no old wagons, buggies or
farm nipple nents. A man who does
not like equality with vengeance
need not come to Oklahoma. The is
and not the has been" counts. Repu-
tation acquired elsewhere counts for
nothing, if. when put to the test. it is
found wanting. There are no manned
or crippled people in oklahoma. The
territory carries no burden of the in
digent, and only Slight one of the
unfortunate.

DO Net WANT TO BE MEN.
Reasons Given ny Some Young WOm-
en- for Preferring Their
Own Sex.

A writer in the National Review sets
forth some curious and amusing re-
suits secured by asking several HIM
bred schoolgirls the following ques-
tions: (Which would you rather be, d
man or woman, and why?" There is
striking difference between the an
swers of the children in Germany, in
| England and in the United States;
also between tie answers of the little
girls of New England and of Indiana.
! Apparently the farther west one
| comes the higher is the estimation in
which womanhood is held, says the
Chicago Tribune.
In Indiana only If per cent. wished
| they were men, and in New England Is
per cent. In England "a per cent.
wished to be men, urging that mer
| had better time, more glory. and
more money. In Germany most of
the girls were not allowed to answer,
| but those who did so took the sober
view that sit is wicked to wish to be
Men In Germany there were none
who expressed a belief in the superb
GRITTY of women. In England there
were four per cent; in New England,
| IA per cent, and in Indiana "a per
cent. Evidently the women of Indiana
are of supertine material.
The reasons OF the 50 or sc per cent
who were true to their sex are inter
esting if not alarming to the mascu-
| line mind. A large percentage, espe-
cially in New England. said they would
rather be women because women are
| better than men. Twenty per cent. of
the Indiana maidens were glad they
were not men because mems lives were
so dull and commonplace. In general,
the American girl seems to be con-
WINGED that ''it is more important to
| be woman than man." and is deter
mined 10 get her share of the world"
in spite of the men who own it. One
says she would rather be woman be-
cause she cannot be anything else, and
she means to be las good as a man,
anyway" One is reminded frequently
of Mrs. Poyser by the replies of the
Indiana girls, of which these are de-
lightful examples:
Women are more Industrious than
men are"
Women have good chances in life;
they can be in any profession; or, if
they do not want to he, they can marry
and 90 nothing"
Il would rather be a woman, be-
cause they suffer more than men, and
| 1t is blessed to suffer-
Il was born a girl, and I shall have
TO be woman, so there is no use in
crying over split milk"
"A man can work harder, and a
woman has more sense. If | wanted
| to be a man it would be no use, and
men swear and spit on the floor, so
| have not lost much"
81 would rather be woman. as they
have better chances in life as teachers
in public schools"
Il would rather be a woman any
| day; men get drunk and steal, and
they can't work or make children's
clothes or DC anything useful"
Evidently there is hard time com
ing for American men when these
| frank-spoken Hoosier maidens grow
to maturity. Their almost unanimous
verdict on the comparative merits of
men and women ought to cause the
| lords of creation to take a humber es-
innate of there selves.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

There are 5000 miles of pipe line IN
the United States, conveying 100000
900 gallons yearly.
The average value of all the mules in
the country .ast year was ten dollars
head more than the average value of
horses.
II is said that automobiles have so
cheapened the cost of harvesting grain
in the immense California fields that
wheat can be raised there at less ac-
tual cost than in the Argentine Repub-

Dead sea fruit" actually exists. and
not in metaphor only. \ recent trav-
eler in the Sahara took a photograph
III the desert within few miles of the.
oasis of Biskra, and his picture shows a.
group of dead sea fruit or "apples
of Sodom." as they are sometimes
called. The fruit grows upon the
ground on a struggling stalk and is
about the size of an orange. golden col
ored, with bright green stripes, the
skin being smooth, like that of a melon.
1t is strange irony of nature that the
fruit. which is so beautiful to look a d,
should be a deadly poison.
1t is officially estimated that there
are 100000 acres of virginia. forest
lands in Cuba. This is nearly one-half
of the total area. The improvement of
transportation facilities will bring
some of this to market. 1t Will include,

glazed notebook, on which was writ
ten: The Orridge Family; a Study
in Heredity." I'm going to have
that privately printed some day"
Are you?" said Loreton, examin-
ing the pages desultorily. You're
sure, of course, that it's of some
use?"
It's been no end of use to me in
my own case as it is, said Orr dye,
but | have still one case to investi-

"One what?"
"One case-an Australian uncle,
who arrives in England on Monday.
OF course, shall try and see as much
of him as l can. Soon put my finger
on any points of resemblance, if they
exist. I'll get him here to lunch
Tuesday or Wednesday. You come,
too, will you? You might be help
to me afterwards, if you can manage

Loreton accepted this fatteripg in
vitation, and turned up on the
Wednesday. Uncle Samuel Orridge
was round, middle-aged man of con-
siderable presence, outwardly as diff
ferent from his nephew as is the AL
bert hall from the leaning tower.
Indeed, he was not unlike the Albert
hall in figure and general coloring.
But he was clearly determined to
make himself pleasant and to dash
any preconceptions as to his colonial
ness. Loreton was amazed at the
good nature with which he received
and answered the shower of personal
questions put to him by his nephew,
without even knowing the excuse for
them.

VOLUNTEER TRACK-WALKER.
Queer Character Who Thinks He Is
an indispensable EmpiOye of the
Southern Pacific.

Southern Pacific.
did YOU ever hear of the s. P.'s.
track walker between Deming and
Numa? asked an S. p. conductor of
Ling and Pin" He is a queer char
acter," continued the conductor when
he had received a negative reply, "and
passengers often ask who he is, be-
cause of the frequency of his being
seen on the road and his strange APP
pearance. l have seen him many
times at different points on the road
and have heard that he is a locoed
individual who thinks that he is en-
ployed as sort of inspector of way,
or track walker, by the Southern Pa
cific company and that he has to
walk continually over the road from
Deming to Yuma and back, and he
sometimes gets as far down as Ell
Paso, but l had never an opportunity
to speak to him until a few days ago.
l then asked him several questions
regarding his past life and his mag
mary job.
He is a tail, slim man, and wears
his hair, which is streaked with gray,
long, and his face is never clean. But
he is a harmless old fellow, and
everybody humors him; in fact, the
people along the route which he has
been travelling continually since 1889
feed him and give him cast-off cloth
ing. He told me that his name was
James c. Drumgold, and that he was
so years old. He said he came down
from California to accept his present
job from the Southern Pacific, and
that he had brother living in that
state. He said he also had two sis
ters living in New York. He seems
to be well educated and writes an
excellent hand. His lunacy does not
manifest itself in his conversation,
but his appearance betrays it, and
the fact that he travels afoot over
that long, dry stretch of railroad
track through the summer and win
ter and has been doing so for 49,
years, proves that he is mentally I'M
balanced.
'Trainmen have asked him to ride,
but he says he could not attend to.

if he should find Something wrong
with the track he would flag any
train that might be approaching the
