not to- cutpmore. at a time than can be
cured and hauled early in the day as
handling in the afternoon when the
sun is hot breaks the leaves. This is
especially true in midsummer. Many
growers consider it advisable to cul-
tivate several times during the winter
with a sharp toothed harrow.
The dairy business is almost in
separately connected with the alfalfa
business in California. Some of the
best stock cattle are raised and fat
tened on this plant. 1t is excellent
for fattening turkeys and pork. For
mich cows, alfalfa should be cut when
it first begins to blossom, for fatten-
ing stock or horses, it should be al
lowed to grow until nearly done bios
soming.
In the Sacramento and San Joachim
valleys are vast areas of land suitable
for the culture of alfalfa, varying in
price from SIG to $500 per acre. Water
is very cheap and plentiful. One dairy
ranch is 21 miles long and six miles
wide. One county in the San Joachim
valley has 5000 miles of canals. In
the whole valley are already about
$4,000 miles of wide canals, the waters
of about half of which supply alfalfa
lands. The hay sells for about SIS per
ton, but if converted into milk nets
the owner about SIP. 1t is said that
good alfalfa land, seeded two or three
years ago, may be purchased in the
San Joachim valley for $50 per acre.
Some advise people with small ranches,
say 40 acres, to put half in alfalfa,
using the fertilizer obtained from this
on fruit trees planted on the other
half. Some cattle men fatten on al
falfa entirely, others advise silos made
of the first and last cuttings of the
plant, mixed with Indian corn, the
contents of which are fed with the
hay. In this valley, it is said, that
500 acres of alfalfa will feed $50 cows
and require the labor of 20 men.
While it is true that land is cheaper
further north, and water more plenti-
full, it is no less certain that alfalfa
may be cultivated with as good or
better returns in the southern portion
of the state where one has the ad.
vantage of short haul to market
with correspondingly higher prices.
All the water necessary may be devel-
oped on the land at small cost. The
depth of the artesian wells should be
from 300 to 800 feet. The deeper
strata furnishes the most abundant
water supply. Within IL miles of Los
Angeles are now about 5000 acres of
The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1903-03-06

very productive alfalfa land. The hay
on that market sells for nine dollars
per ton.
At a conservative estimate, the aver
age annual yield is ten tons per acre.
If it is desired to market the hay, deal
ers will go out from the city and pur-
chase the product on the ground, haul
ing in about twoIand one-half tons a
day on each team. If the distance be
much greater than IL miles, the haul
requires more than day and the price
is one dollar less per ton for the hay.
On one farm of 25 acres the owner re-
Gently sold $4,000 of alfalfa in one
year. Land within this radius cos S
from 500 to $500 per acre, the latter
being of the finest, with improve ents.
Raw land in the artesian belt costs
5000. On this flowing wells may be
developed. On the mesa, or first
bench, excellent land, where there is
no danger of overflow at any time
may be procured for 500 per acre
Here the wells must be pumped, max.
ing an additional cost for the pump
ing outfit. One may here have plenty
of water which may be regulated to
nicely. Four irrigations are re-
quired after the first year.
A IS minutes trolley ride from Los
Angeles brings one within mile of this
land. 1t costs about SO per acre to
prepare and seed alfalfa land. Within
IL miles of Los Angeles are 10, 600 acres
which have failed to pay in sugar beets
and will be put in alfalfa during the
coming year. Within is miles of the
same city is an alfalfa ranch of about
1900 acres, all the hay consumed on
the ground. This is dairy farm that
pays. For 400 cattle there should be
a feeding pen of about 20 acres with
plentiful supply of water piped in and
racks around the sides for hay. A
large stack of the latter may be placed
in the center. 1t is not we'll to turn
cattle on the field at any time, as re-
seeding would then be frequently re-
quired. A good ranch need be re-
seeded only about once in is years.
If the ground be hard some owners
turn cattle on just after cutting, but
it is apt to destroy the eyes of the
plant and necessitates reseeding about
once in ten years. Alfalfa is also
called lucerne, from the locality from
which it is supposed to have orIginau-

there Is alkali. A small amount of
this does no harm, but to obtain best
results, the land, if alkali be present,
should be of a character to allow see
page, when after irrigations, the alkali
will gradually drain off. Land strong
ly impregnated with alkali, of such
nature that underdrainage is not prac-
teal, is of little use for any purpose.
A porous subsoil is always desirable
for alfalfa as underlying hardpan will
not give roots or water a chance to
penetrate to a sufficient depth. On al
most any land suitable for barley or
deciduous fruits, where plenty of
water may be obtained, alfalfa may
be successfully grown. No fertilizer
is necessary, alfalfa being fertilizing
plant. The seed may be sown in
December and good crop taken off
the following April. To prepare the
land, all weeds and rubbish should be
removed and small hillocks scraped
down, the surface being made even.
Next, the irrigation bitches should be

determined. The soil should then be
Thoroughly packed by drawing some
heavy instrument over it several times,

four or five blocks to each ten acres,

furnishes an endless number of ways
of earning a living and even saw

The Wonderful Yields Of Wheat-At.
tracing Thousands.

: Until the last five or six years but
little attention was given to that
vast area of grain-producing land
lying north of the 49th parallel and
Immediately adjoining the northern
boundaries of Minnesota and Dakota.
The Canadians themselves were
aware of the wealth that lay there,
but being unable to fully occupy it,,
they have asked the Americans to
assist them in converting the land
from its virgin state to one that will
largely supplement the grain-produc-
ing area of the North American Com
tinent, and the response has been
most liberal.
During the year 1901 upwards Of
10000 from the United States went
over to Canada, being induced to set
tie there by the reports that reached
them of the success of those who had
preceded them during the previous
years. This 10000 was increased to
10000 during the year 1902, and it is
fully expected that there will be fully
$4,000 during the present year. The
work of the immigration branch of the
Canadian Government is not now be-
ing directed towards giving informa-
tion as to the advantages of settle
ment in Canada asst is to extending an
invita- ton to the American to follow
those who have gone.
Those who have charge of the work
point with considerable pride to the
success of those who have been in
Ill - /
of 160 acres of land free in Canada, and
have no cause to hesitate in continuing
the invitation. Many of tboseint crest
ed say there are no more free home
steads to be had il Canada, but the
writer has most positive assurance
from the Canadian Government that
there are thousands of such home
steads to be had, aud in one of the dis
tricts now being opened up fully as
good as the best, and it is proba bly, the
best.
The Canadian Government has eetab-
ished Agencies at ST. Paul, Mimi;

made that by addressing any of these,
who are the authorized agents of the
Government, it will be to the advantage

AbStracterS Must Pay Taxes.


Judge Stewart yesterday handed
down decision in case from Wash
ington county, holding that abstract
books are assessable, and should APP
pear upon the tax rolls of the county.
The question arose in that county as
to whether 1t was the duty of the
assessor to place valuation for tax
purposes upon abstract books, and
the matter was taken under advise
ment by the court at the recent term
in Weiser.
Heretofore abstract books have
been regarded as in the same class as
law books, special provision of the
statutes exempting all libraries, both
public and private, from taxation.
For that reason the various sets of
abstract books in Ada county have
never been assessed. There are three
sets in the county, and their value is
estimated at about $4,000 each.
These win undoubtedly now be
placed on the assessment roll. -
