An Unworthy Irrigation Bill.

The National Hon eudRcr says
demand which has within the past
year arisen tor the construction OF
government irrigation works, coup
led and crowned with the strongest
possible recommendations OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt in favor of such
works, and the specific recommends
tions of his Secretary OF the Inte-
rior, had won the irrigation fight,
and that it only remained for Cong
ress to decide upon some proper
measure, the fallacy of such a po-
sition 1s not plain. The committee of
western members, which has been
considering the irrigation question
ress, has framed and presented bill
impossible of passage, and of such
provisions that were there any pos
sbilty of its becoming a law every
real friend OF irrigation develop
ment in the West through the set
tlement of its lands by small hold
ers should bend every effort to defeat
it forth with.
If this bill should be slipped
through Congress it would be highly
satisfactory to the great western
range interests which desire no set
tlers-no small farmers-no home
steaders-nothing to disturb the un-
broken lines of their great ranches
and grazing ranges-who do not
wish, in other words, to see the popu-
lation of the West increased and
farming industries built up. This
bill, it it should be enacted into a
law, would give these great
about everything they have ever
asked for or hoped to secure; but it
is not probable that they really have
hopes OF it's passage. Failing to get
what they want their next desire is
to prevent any national action which
would tend to break uptheir present
holdings.

No Profit In Scrubs.

When raising live stock on the
farm with desire for profit, scrubs
should not be taken into the calcula-
ton, for there is no profit in that sort
of goods. Cattle and hogs are the
kinds most commonly kept, and they
have been SO far improved as ma
chimes for converting low-priced
farm produce into high-priced mar
letable products, and the business
has reached such point in the adap-
tation OF supply and demand, that
profits accrue only when the I'M
proved sorts are used Scrubs can
not compete with improved breeds
in prod OF pork, beef, milk and
butter, because they cannot make
near so much from the same amount
of feed. A good hog, for instance
will attain a weight OF $50 to 800
pounds at nine months old, while IA
scrub must be fed year and a half
or two years to do the same. So it
is with beef-mal<ing, and dairying
This fact is especially well felt now
that teed il twice az high, and ami
NAL products little, il any higher in
price than year ago.

H0thouse Lambs.

Hothouse lambs can be grown as
proftably in the West as the East, it
is, therefore, interesting to know
that alfalfa can be made an import
ant factor in producing them. Ac-
cording to John B. Peelle OF Ohio,
who writes in the Breeders' Ga
zettc, this is most excellent feed for
pushing them. He says:
| am disciple of Wing, and my
enthusiasm on the subject OF alfalfa
is only limited by my capacity. Last
year was the first year that l had
tried seeding it with beardless bar
lev and the stand was perfect and
on those portions of the field that
had been manured the growth was
so rank that the binder had hard
work to take care of it. The alfalfa
was az tall as the barley where the
ground had been top dressed at seed
ing time.
This is the first season that have
had a sufficient quantity to feed 1t
freely to both the hothouse lambs
and their mothers. The ewes get
alfalfa morning and night and shred
ed fodder at noon, with less than halt
the usual amount of corn, yet they
are in good flesh and have large
flow OF milk. The lambs get fresh
alfalfa morning, noon and night, at
bedtime and as much oitener as |
happen to be in the factory" The
stems are cleaned out OF the rack and
given to the ewes and the lambs at
once line up TO the fresh feed. With
sielled corn in one feeder and ground
corn, wheat, barley and bran in
another, and always before them,
they seem to prefer the alfalfa and
are eating less than halt as much
corn and not over one-iourth the
ground feed they have in former
years. However the alfalfa is better
quality than that of former years.
find it takes experience TO learn how
to cure it.
The effect of this hay diet on the
lambs can be told by the fact that
the commission men report that they
are "corkers" and l am willing tC
believe it, Tor some OF them are the
most excessively fat lambs | ever
dressed, and then they bring the
highest price in New York, which II
another inte resting fact. One fact
that speaks well for the condition OF
the ewes Is that l have saved I2I out
of I2o lambs and have only lost one
ewe in parturition.

Silver King District

This district will no doubt come to
the front, as later developments tend
to prove that the rich ore seam does
not exist on one claim but goes

and parties went out to work Oh the

Nesbitt, Clark & Carmon, and held
