IN ALFALFA LAND.

The Hay Harvest and It's Machinery.
The Number of Cuttings.
1t is best not to cut a crop of alfalfa
hay the first season, but to allow the
field to get we'll started for the next
year. However, under favorable cir
cumstances one or even two or three
crops may be obtained the first year.
After the first year the number of cut
tings depends upon the length of the
season and the altitude. A. S. Hitch
cock, agrostologist in charge of grass
and forage plant investigations, says
Of this crop as grown in the northwest
ern states that at the higher attitudes

COMMON TYPE OF HAYRACK.

ported by heavy framework or may
consist of poles held in place by guy
ropes. The hay is usually lifted by
means of a fork, but nets are in COM
mon use in some localities. The most
common style of fork is that known as
the Jackson fork, or, outside of CalifOr-
MIA, as the California fork. For alfalfa
the fork usually has four tines, but for
grass hay five or six tines. By means
of small rope the operator upon the
wagon can dump the fork load of hay
upon the stack at any desired point.
One or two horses attached TO the
lifting rope, or cable, furnish the power
to lift the load. The load on the fork
is swung over the stack by slightly
leaning the derrick toward the stack.
The fork then swings by it's own
weight. The empty fork is drawn back
to the wagon by means of the dump
rope. Sometimes the load is swung
over the stack by hand. Another form
of fork occasionally seen is the har-
poon fork. Instead of the fork there is
sometimes used a net, also called
sling or hammock. Three or four of
these are placed at intervals in the hay
as it is being loaded. At the stacks
the nets full OF hay are lifted from the
wagon to the stack by means Of der
ricks
Another form of stacker which has
proved very satisfactory is the cable
derrick Forks or nets may be used
with this style. In eastern Colorado
and parts of Wyoming an improved
stacker is in common use.
The punches may be brought to the
stacker with horse sweeps, but the dis
lance must not be great or there will
be too much loss of leaves. Hence the
stacks are smaller than when the
punches are brought by wagon.
The stacks of alfalfa are commonly
made about twenty-five feet wide and
high and, as long as convenient, often
100 or more feet.

the high priced article suffering most.
On the other hand, the expectation OF
clocks to south China Is increasing.

well known, and the fact that the men
who carry them around are paid for
every name they get, weakens their
effect materially. Thus, in Montgom-
cry county, although the petitions
were very large, only one delegate
has announced himself thus far as
favorable to Rayner, and it is very
doubtful If more than that one votes
for the ex-Attorney-General after the
first ballot,
The present plan of the managers
seems to be to begin the balloting
next Tuesday in open session for the
Senator. A few ballots, as a result of
which no one of the various candi-
dates can possibly get a majority, will
demonstrate the utter impracticabil-
ity of the open plan, which the enc
mics of the regular organization have
been so loudly demanding. After
that the democrats will retire to the
secret caucus as has been generally
done heretofore and jackson or Smith
will be elected.
At this time all the surface indica-
tions favor Smith, but it is very
doubtful if the indications will favor
him so strongly a week from now,
when the caucus is just that much
closer. 1t has been noticeable for
several days that Mr. Germans lieu
tenants have been falling away from
Smlth-taking the ''hands-ofr" posi-

days ago that the Senator himself
would assume in contest between
these two, reserving the right only to

While it is too early yet to say hat
the Garrett county delegation will do
this session, the indications are that
1t will be well taken care of on the

at least as minority members usually
are, and that Garrett will be repre-
sented as usual in fitting manner.
While old timers at Annapolis miss
Senator Ravenscroft, and while Dele
gate Finzell is decidedly missed in the
House, there seems to be no doubt
about the fact that the men sent in
their places will give IA good account
of themselves.
Senator Palmer is by no means a
stranger at the State House and finds
many familiar faces, and many people
who are glad to see him once more.

Emmett had nothing to do with the

excellent all summer but that they

could not afford to let pass by. He

their moving, was that they had more
capital on hand than they could in

GOODIxG'S DECEIT.
( LAsDsrrs

The statement of Candidate Good
ing, in his Council speech. that be
opposed the repeal of the two-mile
limit law, comes in the nature of a
surprise to those who are familiar
with the past record of Sheep Baron
Gooding on this question. 1t is un-
disputed history that the Wool Grow
er's Association was organized some
years ago for the express purpose of
wiping from the Statute Books of the
state, the two-mile limit law. or
that organization Mr.. Gooding has
been one OF the principal figures. and
has, perhaps, contributed more time
and money to accomplish this purpose
than any other member of the associ-
alton. 1t has been the policy of
this association to appeal to the
highest court of the state in every case.
no matter how small and insignifi-
cant, that is instituted by the small
rancher against the sheep men for fla
grant violations of this law, thus rem
dering itimpossible for the small
rancher who needs the protection of
the law, to punish those who have
taken his all from him.
The utterances of Sheep King Good
ing at Council, seem passing strange
in the light of the charges made by
Judge Stewart on the convention floor
at Moscow, that the nomination of
Mr Gooding was sought by the sheep
men who desired the repeal of the
two mile limit law, and the leasing
of the range to the sheep men. assist

1t is great convenience to have at
hand reliable remedies for use in cas-
es of accident and for slight injuries
and ailments. A good liniment and
one that is fast becoming favorite
if not household necessity is Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. By applying it
promptly to cut, bruise or burn it
allays the pain and causes the injury
to heal in about one third the time
usually required, and as it is an
antiseptic it prevents any danger of
blood poisoning. When Pain Balm

accepted as a solution of the entire
question. When Mr.. Roosevelt be-
came president he simply endorsed
the principles of measure already
framed and we'll on its way towards
passage. and even after he endorsed
it he was unable to persuade the lead
ers of his own party to aid it. AS
Stunning even that it was a Roosevelt
measure, he had to rely on the demo-
Gratis of the house to pass it.
But it was not Roosevelt measure.
