When TO Cut Alfalfa

Alfalfa SnOulQ De cut when not
more than one-tenth of the plants
have come in bloom. Cut at this
early stage, the yield of hay for
the season will be much greater
than if the alfalfa is cut near ma
turity, and every pound of hay
secured will be worth more for
feed.
At the Kansas Experiment
Station, strip through field of
alfalfa was cut when one-tenth
was in bloom, another strip was
cut after full bloom had past.
The strip cut early was nearly
ready to cut the second time
when that cut after full bloom
was being harvested the first
time. The strip cut early gre
vigorously through the season
and made three cuttings and a
good aftermath. The strip cut
after full bloom gave low yield
the first cutting and did not grow
sufficiently to yield good second
cutting. Early cuttings seem to
invigorate the plant.
The late cutting of the first
crop seems to injure the plant
more than at any other time, and
we have found it profitable to cut
alfalfa the first time as soon as
one-tenth was in bloom, even
though the weather was bad and
we knew that the crop would
spoil in curing. The increased
yield from succeeding cuttings
over that cut late much more
than makes up for the loss of the
first crop.
Successful clover growers, the
first time they try alfalfa, often
ruin the stand, so that it has to
be plowed up, by waiting to cut
until it reaches thestage at which
clover is usually cut.
The great value of alfalfa isthe
large amount of protein it con-
tains, that material in feed that
is absolutely necessary for the
formation of blood, lean meatand
milk. The higher the protein in
alfalfa, the more valuable the
crop. The Chemical Department
of this Station found the effect of
cutting alfalfa at different stages
as follows:
One-tenth in bloom. 1875 per cent
One-haf in bloom. .-...-.. l1.2 per cent
In full bloom -...-l4.4 per cent
The Colorado Experiment Sta
ton fonnd the effect of cutting
alfalfa as follows:
Coming in bloom. .1S.5 per cent
Hall in bloom. .......... .l4.6 per cent
In full bloom. .................12.9 per cent
The Utah Experiment Station
for five years cut alfalfa atdiffer-
ent stages of maturity and fed
the crop in producing beef. The
average production per year per
acre was as follows:
Tons Pounds
In first bloom ................5.35 100
In full bloom. ............... 400 5oZ
Half blooms fallen. .........4.55 400
These experiments made in
three states-Kansas, Colorado.
and Utah-prove that alfalfa cut
in the first bloom will give the
greatest yield and feeding value.
The leaves of a1falfa contain more
than three times as much protein
as the stems, a ton of alfalfa
leaves containing as much pro-
tein as $500 pounds of bran, Ev-
cry care should be takon in cur
ing alfalfa to save the leaves

The Charlie eston Exposition.

The South Carolina Interstate and
West Indian Exposition is built on
magnificent lines. Few persons are
possibly aware that its distances are
very much more ample and extensive
than those of the Pan-Amerlcan Ex-
position at Buffalo: This. factwas
brought conspicuously to mind today
when it became the duty Of the Ex-
position authorities to award the con-
tracts for constructing the great walks
and boulevards which are to fill the
grounds. The contracts were awarded
to the same parties who did similar
work at the Pan American, and they
call for many more miles of work here
than was done at Buffalo. The walks
will Be 10 feet broad and will be con
structed Of the best cement known to
the builders. They will surround all
public squares, connect all the great
buildings, wind in and out for leagues
through the sunken gardens, along
the river front and surround the en-
tire Midway.-Greenville News.

Anarchist Editor Marned to Sus-
pend.

New York. Sept. 27.-Pedro Esteye,.
the editor of the Paterson, N. j., an
archist paper, La QUESTION: Sociale,
has met his first serious obstacle in
getting out his paper, and it looks as
though its publication might be stop
ped altogether.
For nearly year the paper has been
printed in Passaic by Frederick
Clough, a job printer. Chief Of Po-
lice Hendry, of Passaic, heard OF the
paper being printed there and sent
word to Clough that the paper could
no longer be printed IN Passalc.
sClough said that he had signed a con-
tract to print the paper and that he
could not back out Of it. Chief Hen
dry replied that contract or no contract
the paper could not be printed in Pas
sale. After consulting his lawyer
Clough printed the papers and deliver
ed them in Paterson.
Chief Hendry declares that this will
not be allowed again. He says that he
will have policeman watch the print
ing Office. and that he will take the re-
sponsibility of breaking contract for
such work. ss.=.:===.=

COLUMBIA The WINNER.
Finest and Closest Prize-Spin Ey-
er Seen in American Waters.

New York, Sept.#28.-In the closest
and most soul lstirring race ever...sall-
ed for the old Americas cup the white
fyer Columbia today beat the British
challenger over windward and lee
ward course of thirty nautical miles
by# the. narrow, heart breaking mar
gin Of 80 seconds. As Lipton's S latest
aspirant for cup honors must allow
the defender 43 seconds on account Of
the extra 833 square feet Of canvass in
her sail area the official record, under.
the rules, gives her the victory by one
minute and twenty-five seconds. As
a spectacle the contest was superb.
From the time the two sky-scraping
racers crossed the starting line until
they fed across the finish line four.
and half hours later the result was
in doubt and the excitement aboard
the excursion feet increased until men
became frenzied and women almost
hysterical. So evenly matched were
these two scientific racing machines
that never after they started were the
rival shippers out Of each others hail
and more. than three-quarters of the
time they were SO close that Charlie.
Barr, who had the tiIler aboard the
American, could have tossed biscuit
to Captain Sycamore on the Sham
rock For miles as they beat tnelr
way to the outer mark the black
shadow Of Shamrock's huge club top
sail was painted on the big mainsail5
of the Columbia and for an hour on
the run home, with the two yachts
.fying like scared deer before the fol-
lowing wind, they ran almost beam
to beam as If they had been harness
ed together. her.z..s.=s.,
AS a result Of today's race, though
faith in the Columbia still remains
in the hearts of the patriots, all the
experts admit that the British boat
is the ablest sloop ever sent to these
waters to lift the 100 guinea cup
which the old schooner America
brought across the Atlantic fifty years
ago, and that the superiority OF
American seamanship and American
naval architecture, as represented by
the defender, remains to be establish
ed. The quality of a sailing ship is
measured by her ability to carve her
way into an adverse wind, and in. the
fiftseen-mile thresh to windward today
the golden challenger gained thirty
nine seconds, while on the run home
her lead was eaten up and the Colum-
bia crossed the finish line exactly
thirty-seven seconds before the Sham
rock. 1t must be remembered, how
ever, that the challenger had the
weather gauge in the beat to wind.
ward, no mean advantage, and the
nautical experts said after the race
that during the outward journey she
had been sailed to absolute perfection,
while before the wind the American
yacht not only showed feeter pair OF
heels but, in the opinion OF the sharps
was better handled.

Small Counties, high Iales.
A Tale Of Woe From Bamburg.

gentleman writing in last weeks
issue Of the Sumter Watchman and
Southron, in advocacy Of the proposed
new Zee county, quotes Bamberg as
having tax levy Of only three mills,
he seeming to argue from this that
smaller counties reduce taxes.
We do. not care to mix up IN the new
county fight, but it is entirely wrong
that smaller COUNT mean lower taxes.
&c is true that Bamberg has tax
levy of only three.mills at present, but
we are badly in debt, and have had to
borrow money every year since the
county was formed. 1t viii take about
SIX mills levy next year to put ou1
county on cash basis, and it has
been fully demonstrated that we can
not run on three mills tax. 1t
should be remembered, too, tEat this
county has I've dispensaries within Its
borders, and the county s share OF Ihe
profits last year was something like
81, GOO. In addition to this, we have
\ large railroad mileage, and this
helps Us materially in the matter OF
taxation. The Seaboard Air Line,
Southern Railway, and Atlantic
Coast Line all run through this coun-
ty. and we have as well the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company's
lines, The Postal Telegraph Company,
and the Western Union Telegraph Go.
With all this property, our tax levy
ought to be low. It's very we'll te
5 argue for smaller counties on tne
matter Of convenience, but the loWel
taxes or even equal taxes proposlt1or
will not do, nor will 1t hold good
