Of hay 10 be had on any one farm is
small. and the expense and trouble of
hauling hay from outside farms to any
particular feed lot is an important
item and makes a great difference in
the priC" which a feeder can afford to
pay for hay. Mr.. Ayers suggests the
plan that farmers who expect to raise
hay to sell should so stack their crops
that the hay from several farms will,
be close by a given feed lot, and he
believes in that way a better figure can
he r'ceivcd. Mr.. Ayers is arrang-
ing t" largely increase the acreage OF
Italia grown or his farms, as he con,
sidcrs that no crop can be grown which
is more profitable than alfalfa. il it is

GOVERNOR CHATTERToN TALKS

In al interview in the Leader Act

II the gambling bill is defeated III the
supreme court, all the bills passed un.
der the same conditions are invalid.
While technically they may be inval.
II, 1t will require a court decision
against each and every n of them to
declare them so and until such declara-
ton is made they will remain laws of
the state and must be obeyed the same
as other laws. Mr.. Chatterton says:
Il notice the newspapers are giving,
editorially and otherwise, legal opin-
ions and making many con-
lectures regarding the status Of the
acts passed by the Sixth state legisla-
ture, and some news items state that
certain oficials have decided the laws
not to have been constitionally pass
ed and that they may, therefore. be
disregarded; the legislative apnor.

been suggested that the expense of an
extra session Of the legislature be in.
CURED 10 correct the journals. This
agitation. at this time, is certainly un-
called for.
The acts, as published by author
ity of the state, came through the reg
ular channels into the governors
hands, were approved by him and duly
filed in the once of the secretary of
state, as by law required. They are
certified to by the secretary OF state,
as by law required. to be each and
every of the session laws passed by
the Sixth legislature These acts are,
therefore, The law Of the land and
must be obeyed until the supreme court
Of the state declares them not to be
law, and the finding by the court that
any one of the acts Is not a law would
not affect any other OF the acts, each
act must itself be attacked by a suit
in court, and must stand as law until
the supreme court decides otherwise.
Il trust not only because it is right
and patriotic. but for the sake Of the
fair name Of the state, all citizens
will abide by the law and await the
decision of the supreme court, II its

Our Army the Best,

Our army is the most effective and
efficient organization in the world, The
reason for this Is the men are well
paid as we'll fed. Good feed and good
pay. however, will not alone make a
good soldier. He must have steady
nerves, a good digestion and a strong
constitution. To fight disease it Is also
necessary to have the same require
ments. but II you are weak and nerv-
GUS, there is a medicine that will
strengthen your system. We refer to
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. For IF
ty years it has been making weak peo-
PIE strong and sickly people well. We
therefore urge you to try a bottle and

PROFITS IN

There is one crop that promises
more to the agriculturists of Wyoming
than any other and that is alfalfa. 1t
can be raised up to an altitude of 5000
feet and is the best forage plant known
to stockmen . An article in the Wheat
land World shows something Of the
profits + be derived from the raising
of alfalfa at that place. The World
says:
AS an. illustration Of what good
farming may do in the Wheatland
country, the item which w. L. Ayers
has just received for his hay crop Of
last year furnishes good opportunity
for study. Mr.. Ayers sold his alfalfa
a few days since to Mr.. Gibson, the
Converse county stockman, and re-
ceived a check for $2O14, the price per
ton being $3.50. Mr.. Gibson is using
the hay in feeding 304 head of thor
oughbred Herefords which he brought
down from his ranches. The reason
Mr.. Ayers received this figure, which
is from SOC to 81 per ton more than
much Of the hay on the fats has
brought In the stack, is the fact that
he has erected convenient and desir-
able feeding sheds, and has IN excel

The time has been. and it was not
SO very long ago, when the per cent
of the number OF pupils enrolled in
Wyoming to the whole number of our
population was less than that of any
state or territory in the union-less
than New Mexico or Arizona.
We are glad to note that a change
has occurred i'll this respect for now.
according to reliable data and figures
we are less than n per cent behind
the great state OF New York-the En-,

The per cent Of pupils enrolled now
in Wyoming is 1859. while in the state
Of New York it is 16.64-less than one
per cent as already stated more than
the enrolment Of pupils OF Wyoming.

berg began to revolve in n slow and
stately way, and at the end of an hour
the western face had turned due
south, and such a sea was beating on
it that no landing was possible. To
make our way over the berg we
should have needed wings. The move
mcnt Of the berg crowded the icefields,
and the result was the opening Of a
narrow lane to the north. We were
watching and waiting for it, and the
bark was soon warped in and sail
made. We were lucky enough to keep
this lane until it led us quite out of
the floating ice and further danger,
and looking back as we sailed every
man of the crew saw the figures as
the three of us had seen them. The
spray seemed to dash against their
frozen faces and the waves to rant
and growl like hungry wolves, but we
knew they would not be given to the

We had been driven below Cape
Horn hundreds of miles by a fierce
gale lasting eleven successive days and
nights, and one morning we found our
selves among the ice and almost
wrecked alOft. The gale had blown
itself out, but the situation was one
calling for the best seamanship and
the keenest vigilance. Only steam
whalers and exploring vessels get as
far south as we found our position to
be except by accident. During the
three days we were putting the bark
shipshape we were packed in n field
of ice extending as far as the eye could
see on every hand, and even had we
been a twin screw steamer l doubt if
we could have worked clear Of 1t. 1t
was field ice broken from the coast Of
some island, and some of the cakes
were n good twelve feet thick and al
most as hard as flint.
On the fourth day we found ourselves
driving down among six or eight great
icebergs, and the boats were proyi-
stoned and other preparations made to
leave the bark at a moments notice.
The odds would be a thousand to one
that the boats would be ground to
pieces in ten minutes, but we had to
take them. While we helplesSly waited
the field struck a berg which was esti-
mated to be solid cube measuring
about 1000 yards on every front and
towering up over 4 hundred feet high.
There was a grand crash, and the berg
began to slowly topple. 1t was like a
tree falling, only much slower. 1t took
a long minute for that monstrous cube
to turn turtle, and as the top reached
the water the mass cracked in twain
with a report like the firing Of a can
non. The sea kicked up gradually,
opened a wide lane in the icefeld, and
the bark was headed in and had clear
sailing for ten miles before we found
the passage blocked by one of the big
gest bergs ever set atloat. Had that
berg been measured should have had
