GROWING ALFALFA ON BENCH LANDS.
Agricultural Station Urges That Far
mers Should Try to Produce 1t.

MeTS ShOliQ Try 10 rEOQkCe II.
Prsf. r. S. Shaw, agriculturist at
the United States experiment station
at Bozenan. writes:
Early every irrigable part of Mon
tana is suited to the growth of some
one or more of the three legumes, al
falfa, red clover alsike. Where suffi-
cient water is available it is a c,m-
paratively easy matter to grow these,
but on lands where water is not avail
able the task is Il more difficult one.
Recent Investigations tend to prove
that there are large areas in this state
upon which one remunerative crop of
alfalfa can be grown each season with
out irrigation. These lands comprise
foothills, bordering on the mountain
ranges, where there is a deep soil, re-
c"iving more moisture than the open
plain, through sub-irrigatiou from
seepage, and Il greater precipitation.
Such conditions are to be found in the
Gallatin valley, ana the farmers are
strongly urged to try the production
OF alfalfa under the same. The benefits
to be derived from the growth of al
falfa under the conditions given are:
l. Maintenance of fertility. Even
though summer following is practiced,
continuous grain crops tor :, long time
will eventually rob the soil Of it's fer
tility. Alfalfa, though drawing heav-
lily on such mineral substances as pot
ash and phosphoric acid, secures most
OF these from great depths and at the
same time leaves the soil richer in nj
trogen, So essential to cereal crops.
Because of the time required by alfalfa
to establish itself and it's permanency
when established, 1t should alternate
with grain only at long intervals.
?. Food of a flesh forming nature
would be produced, thus enabling the
foothill farmer to winter over or fatten
some kind of live stock.
3. During seasons when the price
OF grain fall below Il protit,b c figure
it could be disposed of to good auvan-
tage by being fed in conjunction with
alfalfa.
4. It would add an additional source
of income as safeguard in times OF
failure of cereal grains.
Bench Lands Suited to Alfalfa-
They must be deep and porous. The
| ha viar 1nu1,c h;,>L
moisture cannot be supplied by irriga-
ton. Lighter loans may also be used,
unless underlaid by stratum of
gravel coming too near the surface.
Alfalfa cannot be grown on wet lands
nor on those overlying an impenetrable
hard face. Foothill lands lying closest
to the mountains will be more sure to
produce results.
Methods of Cultivation, seeding, ETC., +,
Where irrigation Cannot Be Applied
The ground should be plowed deep
and prepared the preceding fall.
Spring plowed land will not retain its
moisture. In the early spring culti-
walton sufficient to provide Il good seed
bed is necessary. The seed should be
sown broadcast and as earl7 as the
season will permit, and not thicker
than Is pounds per acre. On the
heavy lands narrowing will provide
sufficient covering for the seeds but on
the lighter lands it should be put in
deeper by means of the seeder. Under
these conditions nurse crop should
not be used. The young plants should
be clipped off with the mower when

QUEER WHINISEYS OF THE COW.
BOY.
His Old Time GlOries Largely Depart-
ed. Buckskin Coat and Fringed
Breeches Thing Of the Past,

The cowboy is as far from being
free from superstition as he is from
being the picturesque character that
ambitious writer's of western life have
portrayed him. Every Jack Tar has
to have back seat in the matter of
whimseys when he is put by the side
of the rounder-up of cattle.
The glory of the cowboy has largely
departed. From the fanciful charac-
ter of fiction and the Wild West shows
he has evolved into as unpicturesque
and commonplace a character as one
could we'll imagine. The modern
''bull puncher" doesn't wear a buck
skin coat and friagcd britches. He
is usually found in duck overalls and
jumper, or some other equally unro-
mantle garb. He still clings to the
make that a necessity. He sometimes
wears his hair long, but as rule he
is the patron of the barber. He goes
armed-that is a matter of course
III lhClC dlC lhlC"CS, lNdlS, COyOCeS
and the like to look out for, but he
does not shoot up the tenderfoot or
snuff out the lights in public houses
as he was once said to do, for modern
civilization has taken root in the Far
West, and it refuses to stand for such
proceedings.
The stock in trade of the cowboy is
his physical strength and alertness,
his courage, his ability to endure ex-
posure and fatigue, skill in the use of
the lasso, horsemanship and his field
and cattle lore. 1t is in connection
with the latter part of this invoice
that his stock OF superstition is found.
The cowboy, like the hunter, trapper,
prospector and plainsman, learns to
read signs. Things to the ordinary
mortal meaningless are fraught with
vast import to him. In the great arid
region of the west, where water is
scarce and precious, he learns to de-
tect its presence by signs that would
count for naught with the tenderfoot
For instance, the tule tells him that
water is somewhere done at it's roots,
but the turkweed, the cactus and the
eucalyptus are dry weather plants and
their presence does not lead him to
hope for water in the vicinity. The
tenderfoot called to sleep benea ath the
stars would scarce stop to think or
;cI,
ing when he betook himself to his bed
upon the bosom of Mother Earth, but
the cowboy toSses some grass in the
air and notes which way the wind
carries the light straws, and then pro-
ceeds to spread his blanket so as to
bring his feet toward the wind. The
breeze which gets uner the tender
foot's blanket and strips it from him
passes harmlessly over the wiley cow
boy. Two or three buzzards or coy
otes hurrying to a common point tells
the cowboy where his lost steer is, and
also informs him that death has over
taken it. There are lots of things
which observation and experience have
taught the cowboy and there are a lot
of things which he thinks he knows
which are neither more nor less than
myths-superstitions
One of the enemies of the cowboy
is the rattlesnake. He abhors the rep
tile on general principles, because of
his venom and ugly looks, but partic-
ularly because he is supposed to have

NEW MEXICO DEMOCRATS.

The Phoenix, Ariz., Gazette says:
The democratic territorial commit
tee in New Mexico has arrayed itself
against the admission of that territory
under the bill now pending ip the sen
ate. 1t bases its opposition upon the
failure of the bill to provide for certain
relatively unimportant matters which
the people of the proposed state can
easily provide for in their state consti-
tuition. This action should convince
republican members of the senate that
the democrats fear they would be un-
able to control the state government If
New Mexico should be admitted at this
time.
Opposition to the admission of a
new state should not be based on con-
sideration of partisan politics, but if
matters of that kind are to be consid-
cred, the case of New Mexico presents
nothing TO which a republican member
OF the senate can object. 1t would be
republican If it should be admitted,
and hence the republican party would
be strengthened in both the senate and
the house and also in the electoral col

lege. Although not the same condition
in the past, the situation in Arizona is
such that success for the republican
ticket in the fall is exceedingly bright.
A republican delegate will in all prob
ability he sent from this territory. The
people realize that statehood for Ari-
IONA is handicapped with the territory
democratic.
Our people have waited long for
that recognition as a state which
should have been given us years ago.
| Our progress in material respects and
our growth in population have been re-
tarded by the perpetuation of a terri
/ torial form of government. AS long as
we remain a territory it will be a prov
ince of the federal government and our
people will be subjected to a species of
political servitude which is equally a
violation of our rights as American
citizens and an unjust reflection upon
our patriotism and intelligence.
THE senate committee on territories
will consider Inc admission bill in the
. early days of the winter session. In
the meantime every friend of New
Mexico. Arizona and Oklahoma should
bring to bear whatever influence he
may he able to exert in behalf of a
favorable report. The attention of re-
publican senators should be directed
to the recent action of the democratic
territorial committee of New Mexico,
so hat any lurking fear Of increasing
the strength Of the democracy in con-
gress and the electoral college may be
removed. Arizona should have de-
clared herself for a republican dele
gate to congress to aid this argument.
All three of the territories ought to be
admitted. ard the enabling act should
he sent to the president for his sigma
ture before the Christmas holidays"

AN ISSUE.

The Ration Range says: AT the
meeting OF the democratic central
committee at Albuquerque last Satur-
day it was decided that the democrats
of New Mexico should oppose state
hood unless a provision guaranteeing
minority representation on election
boards be inserted in the enabling act.
Delegate Rodey explained to the com
mittee that he endeavored to have
such provision inserted in the state
hood bill, but that the committee did
not favor the provision, believing that
we could arrange such matters here at
home by incorporation in our state
constitution. Regardless of Mr.. Rodey's
explanation the democratic territorial
committee took action which has no
other meaning than that the demo-
cratic party of this territory will OPP
pose statehood. The committee were
in session and some sort of an issue
for the fall campaign had to be de-
cided on. The committee had TO cud-
gel their brains, but the issue was
finally found. 1t is a puerile, wobbly
kneed sort of an issue just at this
time when almost everybody in the
territory is enthusiastic about the
prospects of the early admission of
New Mexico into the union, but it was
the best they could do, and when the
party gets through with the campaign
on this issue it will even feel more
diminutive than the proverbial 80
cents"

Mckinley

A tablet in memory of the late Pres
ident Mckinley was recently unveiled
in the Metropolitan church at Wash
ington-the church of WHICH the late
president was a member. 1t was the
gift of Justice Thomas II. Anderson,
who was a lifelong personal friend of
the well beloved president. Senator G.
w. Fairbanks, of Indiana, who was the
Orator of the occasion, paid a glowing
and heartfelt tribute to the memory of
the deceased statesman, soldier and
patriot, closing as follows:
Those who read in a large way the
purposes of an All-Wise Ruler see in
what has transpired a f~ar-reaching and
benefcent providence. The transcend
ent beauties of a noble life have been
accentuated. We have been taught as
never before the nobility of right liv'
ing and the sublimity of right dying.
The multitude will come and look
upon yonder tablet and in time it will
crumble away. Monuments will arise
throughout the land and disappear.
Canvas will seek to perpetuate and be
forgotten, but the name of our friend
will live. His enduring tribute will be
found in the hearts of the people sc
long as this great republic endures,
Long after we have lived our brief hour
and the physical monuments we have
raised have been resolved into the
dust, the pure, patriotic and holy infiu'
ence of William Mckinley will con
tinue to he an inspiration and benedic'
ton among men,"

THE DENIED.

Recently a mass meeting of citizens
was purported to be held at Carlsbad.
in Eddy county, and resolutions were
adopted calling upon Judge Mcmillan
to clear himself of the charge Of i'm
morality. Certain evidence vas
claimed to he in the possession of peo-
pie at Carlsbad, damaging to Judge
Mcmillan. The Citizen published the
resolutions passed at the Carlsbad
meeting, they being signed by Judge
A. A. Freeman. the postmaster of
Carlsbad, and other citizens. The mass
meeting claimed to have received al
legged testimony from "E. w. Hubert,
a hotel keeper; Mrs. Baca, at whose
house the woman had rooms; Mr..
Moeller, a reputable merchant; Mr..
Lutz, county treasurer" and others. in
support of the charge of immortality
they made against Judge Mcmillan.
That was two weeks ago.
But in the following communication,
which was published in the Nogal Re-
publican last Thursday, the parties
mentioned above repudiate any on
n~ection with the Carlsbad mass meet
ing, denying that they furnished any
testimony against Judge Mcmillan:
