manded the expedition and was at
that time major of the Fifth United
States Infantry and Provisional Gov
ernor of the Province of Abra. Under
Gen. J. Franklin Bell he had operated
against the Villamor brothers, Bias
and Juan, and assisted in harassing
them and their mixed followers, in
Guiding Alzados. Negritos. .Tinguianes
and IgOrrotes, into surrender. After
the pacification of the province he
served successfully in Batangas
against Malvar, the successor of Agui-
naldo, and against the insurrectos in
+ the Cagayan valley. He was relieved
in May, 1903, and is now in charge of
the United States recruiting station in
Buffalo.
"Adios, Americanos!" called out the
presidente of Bangued, with cadence

"They will come back again never
more" remarked the larger part OF
the adult Ilocanos of the barrio, we
thought hopefully.
These were the farewells that
sounded in our ears on a pleasant
morning on Dec. 26, 1901, as we rode
forth from the capital Of Abra to visit
the wild tribes of the Alzados for the
purpose of persuading them to give up
their immemorial practice of head
hunt-lg.
The Ilocanos were Christians, after
a queer fashion; the Tinguianes were
pagans, and the Alzados were savages
Of the most ferocious type. The TO-
canos and Tinguianes had often been
visited by white men, and I had Wis
tied the chief pueblos and villages dur
ing the summer, taking the flag and
an escort, in order to administer the
oath Of allegiance. But no white men
had ever explored the Land of the
Head Hunters, for it would have re-
quired a large force under Spanish
rule to brave these unterrified saw
ages in their mountain Businesses and
besides there was nothing there to
tempt the cupidity of our predeces-
sors.
had made up my mind that there
could be no peace and prosperity for
the people of Abra, even under the
flag, while the head hunters were al
lowed to continue their peculiar prac-
tice unrebuked. To attempt to per-
suade them from it by moral suasion
was the reason for the expedition
that started forth from Bangued, as
stated above.
The smallness of the force, in view
of the serious nature of the errand,
was what excited the pessimism of

one could tell but little of it now.
Much of this, no doubt. was exaggera-
tion. this talk of a graveyard, of a
doubled street, of murders, of the
legal killings which served as arrests,
of the lynchings which once passed as
justice. There was crude story of
the first court ever held in Ellisville,
but of course 1t was mere libel to say
that it was held in the livery barn.
Humor said that the trial was over
the case of a negro, or Mexican, or
Indian, who had been charged with
murder. and who was himself killed
in an attempt at lynching. by whose
hand 1t was never known. These
things were remembered or talked
about by but very few, these the old

Somewhere to the north of the town.

How It Was Sprung Upon a Prominent

Rev. Richard E. Sykes is telling his

which he relates with great glee. As

torate in Denver to take charge Of q
congregation in suburb of Boston.
On Wednesday he was down at one
Of the freight depots shipping his goods
to his new home.
''The clerk did not know me-" is the
way DR.. Sykes tells the story, land
when he had listed my goods he leaned
over and asked:
Say, mister, do you have any live
animals?'

question, but quickly and truthfully

laughed with great satisfaction.
The portion of the story which Mr..
Sykes did not know is that the query
put to him is one of the stock jokes at
the freight depots. If he had shown q
certain trepidation when the first query
was asked, 1t would have eventually
led to suggestion that maybe his beds

Major Frank Terry, who is in

The Best Time to Cut Alfalfa.

1t is generally believed that the
third cutting is best adapted to
mich cows, especially if it has not
been touched by frost, the first and
third crop for sheep, though it
appears more likely that the stage
of growth at cutting is the more
important factor.
Whether the standpoint be the
obtaining of quantity or quality is
also matter for consideration.
AS matter of fact the logical basis
for reaching a conclusion is the
yield of the largest quantity of
digestable protein matter per acre.
The richest alfalfa is assumed,
undoubtedly with justice, to be that
which yields the greatest per
centage of nitrogen, from which we
obtain the protein by multiplying
by 6.25. Again, assuming that the
protein at different stages were
equally digestable, we would con-
slider the best results obtained where
the maximum figures were given
by multiplying the yield per acre
by the percentage of protein.
1t is we'll known that the yield
increases up to the period of full
bloom and then begins to decrease.
1t has been found that the alfalfa
crop which when cut III bud would
yield 100 pounds of hay, if left till
half bloom would yield 1875 pounds,
and at full bloom 14J pounds.
The 100 pounds of protein and the
l45 pounds cut at full bloom would
contain 10 pounds of protein. Re-
ducing these OH the basis of a pound
we find the relative values to be
l.16 for the early cutting, LOO for
that cut in half bloom and LOS for
that cut in full bloom. Or stated
otherwise, S62 pounds OF alfalfa
hay cut iii bud, Or 92.6 pounds cut
i'll full bloom, are equal III value,
using the proteins as the criterion
to 10 lbs. cut in full bloom, so that
alfalfa hay cut in half bloom
inferior to that cut in full bloom,
and still more inferior to that cut
in the bud Considering the two
points of composition and yield,
the period indicated as at full
bloom.
