AS the soil and climate Of
Western Kansas is so very much
like our county, we give the
following from the Kansas Elk.
pertinent Station Bulletin No.
102, asapplicable to the Plains.
One of the important agricul-
tural problems of Kansas, as of
all farming regions, is the rails
ing of forage. In the early
days the native grasses of our
plains furnished the necessary
sustenauce, but as the country
has increased in population the
methods have become more in
tensive. At the present 1t is
necessary to raise forage to sup
plement or even entirely replace
the native grasses.
In condslerlng the question OF
what forage plants should be
grown in a certain localities, one
must bear in mind all the condi.
tionS 1t is best to have var
iety. Our native pastures furn
iSb such, and il is the natural
requirement Of herbivorous ami
mails. The feeding value should
be as high as possible; hence
the use OF legumes. The crops
should be such as are adapted
to the climatic conditions. In
Kansas this neceSsitates the
use of drought-resisting plants,
as alfalfa and kaffir- corn. The
soil conditions may exclude
crops otherwise adapted. 1t
must be borne in mind that
judgement should be withheld
concerning plants which are
otherwise desirable but do not
prove adapted to the climate.
By proper selection, such plants
may, in a few seasons, become
acclinated. The cowpea, for in.
stance, although a tropical
plant, has by successive stages
been carried north until it can
be grown in Kansas and in 9th.
er districts even farther north.
Finally, plants should be chosen
that will give a continuous sup
ply of feed through the year
without injuring the soil.
At the Experiment Station
grass garden there have been
large number of forage plants,
many of which have proved OF
no value, others were of doubt.

few gave promise of success.

all of our forage plants that are

liam salt.bush. Alfalfa stands
at the head of the list of forage
plants in these localities where
it can be successfully grown.
But even there it is proba bly,
best to depend on this for dry
feed and use other crops during
the growing season. When
there is no open range, pastures
are necessary. In order not to
wear out the permanent pas
lures it is often advisable to
supplement them with auxiliary
feeds. Dairymen find it neces-
sary to feed concentrates during
the summer, when our pastures
decrease in the supply of forage.
By proper soiling of legumes or
rape this expense can be much
reduced. Rye furnishes an ex-
cellent green feed, both.,in the
fall after the pastures have fail.
ed and in the spring before they
have reached their best produc,
ton.
Practically the only danger of
injury to native grass pasture
comes from overstocking or,
what amounts to the same thing,
too close grazing at critical pc
RODS. Under normal conditions
the grass is able to withstand
the inroads of weeds, but when
too closely cropped the peren-
NAL weeds gradually enroach,
or, if the grass is entirely des.
troyed over areas of greater or
less extent. annual weeds make
their appearance. These weeds
are disliked, or at least less rel.
ished by stock, and go on in
their development unbindered.
The first thing to do in all cases
where renovation is desired is
to remove the stock and give
the pasture a rest for at least
one whole season. If the pas
ture is only beginning to show
signs of deterioration it may
not be necessary to remove all
the stock, but to decrease the
number somewhat below what
would be sustained by the pas
ture' or the stock may be re-
moved for half the season; but
when the pasture is in bad con
dition it is necessary to do
more than this, otherwise it
might take several seasons for
the grass to regain its ascend
ency over the weeds. Expert
ments in various places have
shown that the best treatment |
is to remove the stock and give |
the pasture thorough narrowing, |
or better still.a disking, in the
spring. This treatment tears
up the sod and enables the root
stock Of the desira bic grasses
to spread with freedom. In
addition, tits best to NOW the
pasture when the weeds have
attained their growth but before
they have gone to seed. The
sickle should be set high, so as
to do as little injury to the
grass as possible. BY proper
attention to stocking the
pasture, an application of the
disk harrow in the spring over
the affected parts, and moving
when necessary, prairie pasture
can be kept in good condition.
In small pastures, where it is not
practicable to remove the stock.
the pasture may be prevented
from deterioration by providing
crops during the season,
especially the early part, until
the grass is well started, and
again during the dry period,
which usually occurs in August
or September.

This contains what is said to hav,
been an unpublished poem by Father
Ryan. 1t commentaries an Irish
man who as an officer in the Con
federate army won fame and distinc
ton in his fight for the Lost Cause
and is as follows:
How far and fast the autumn blast
Beats the dead leaves DER the
ground;
As far and fast has the hand OF war
Strewed our country's brave
around!
And their nameless graves are the
oceans caves,
The forest and mountain glen,
Where the vulture screams as the
angry streams
Are hiding the bones Of men!
And what anguish cries
From the South arise,
For the brave ones fallen in vain,
While the victor North
Rings peans forth,
And eXults in her broad domain!
A fire suppressed In Vesuvius' breast,
The latent fires of crime
In the human frame pulse on the
same,
Till famed by the storms OF time:
AS the lava fold swept uncontrolled
Where Pompeii's glorics shone,
SO the weakened rage of a vandal
age
When freedom is o'erthrown.
And We'll look in tears
Through long, long years,
For the brightness shroudcd e'er,
But the golden rays
OF the halcyon days
Shall return to the land no more!
Then fling the horde their base
award
Their chief his triumphal crown;
Place vile deceit In his judgment seat,
Where honor is trampled down;
Give n paltry bride to the hired scribe,
To the venal bard his fee;
But him who draws In a righteous
A freeman's sword give me!
Though his bones should bleach
Gin the sea- washed beach.
Though his grave is the lowly mound,
His name shall chime
Through the halls of Time,
And swell through the deep profound!
Ie brave en- masse, who fall and pass
To the leaden halls OF death,
There are palms for the few, but,
alas. for you,
Not leaf from the vlctor's wreath.
But sing OF one whose glory shone
Like a meteor, bright and grand,
Who gave his name to the trump of
fame,
And his blood to his generous land!
The festive toast,
The soldiers boast,
The type OF martial age!
The foe OF wrong,
The soul OF song,
And the light of future page!
The base grow bold for the power OF
gold,
The vain through fear OF scornt
The good wax strong in their hate
OF wrong;
But he was a warrior born.
From his eagle glance and u stern
"Advancew
And his action swift as thought
The rank and file from his own fair
Their courage electric caught,
As the whirlwind path
Shows its fiercest wrath
Through the lordliest forest pines,
SO the deepest wave
OF the fallen brave
Told where Cleburne crossed their
lines
On Richmond's plain his captive train |
Outnumbered the host he led,
And he won his stars In the field OF
Mars
Where glorious Johnston bled!
Twas his to cope while ray OF hope
Humid his fiag-and then
Twas his to die, while the flag
FLEW high
In the van Of chivalric men.
For no drawer host
Could Erin boast,
Ior than he n more gallant knight,
Since the peerless Hugh
Crossed the Avon dhu,
And Bagnal's hosts atlight.

times as great.
Private Property in Evidence.
Another point which has become manifest
to the committee is the diversion OF the
larger share Of the amounts appropriated
for this stream to the protection OF private
property. The amounts so applied have
come to largely exceed those used for
dredging or for improvements to naviga-
tion. II is impossible for the committee
20 correctly Judge whether these appropria-
tions for the protection Of banks and prl-
vate property are iudiciously expended.
While not assuming to decide whether such
expenditures are proper subjects for APP
preparation by the federal government, the
members Of the committee are Of the opin-
Ion that such expenditures do not properly
belong to a committee whose province is to
recommend appropriations for the improve
ment OF rivers and harbors.
In recommending the repeal Of the act
creating the Missouri river commission the
committee intends no reflection upon that
body. which is no doubt made up of men
Of ability and integrity. but believes that
the system under which they are acting can
not bring satisfactory results.
