FEEDING AND MANAGEMENT OF LIVE STOCK
v1.--Growing Feeding Stuffs.

Vu.--6rcW1ng feeo1ng Sruns.
We are bringing into our State vast quantities
of Western hay and Western corn. One of our
agricultural students recently made a visit to the
stores of one of our cities and found the data
as to the quantity of farm products brought into
that city from the Western States. It was ali
eye-opener to many of us. In that one city over
eleven hundred tons of hay and eighty thousand
bushels of corn were brought from the Western
States. It means that a good part of the wealth
that has been earned by hard labor in the cotton
field must be given to the Western farmer and
sent out of the State for purchasing hay and
corn to feed our live stock. If this were the
result of an exceptional year; were it due to an
excessive hot or cold, dry or wet season as to
destroy the production, it would not be such a
serious proposition; but, as it is, this goes on
year after year. Now the question is: is it neces-
sarv? We think not. We think that these lands
that rest from year to vear can be more pro6tably
used for growing cowDeas that will furnish nitro
gen to them, and at the same time will produce
cowpea hay of the highest excellence; and the
wheat fields over much of our State can be used
for a like purpose. Soon it will be time for them
to be cut, and what shall be done with the stubble2
Simply lie and wait until another season, as is the
common practice with a good many of our people

they could grow the hay, the result would surprise
them and money saved that now goesSo purchase
feeding stuffs.
Think of the thousands and millions of tons of
cowpea hay that could be produced each year with
a little additional cost in the way of labor, and
think of the increased value to the farm it would
mean. This is one of the most important ques-
tions before the farmer: The growing of the
feeding stuffs needed for our ordinary farm labor.
1t is of course an easy matter for us to conclude
that we have to buy Western hay and Western
corn. Were we-to grow ON the other hand all that
we need of these feeding stuffs, it would be money
saved to improve our farms, our schools and our
roads. Besides if we have cowpea hay, we need
not feed so much corn, because of the high nu-
tritive effect of cowpea hay
This whole question is an old problem, and
it is an old story, and because it is old we do not
give it the consideration it deserves. Our farm
life will improve but slowly if our practice forces
us to buy feed for farm labor, whether the human
or the live stock kind. At least let us think about
this, and if we are not ready to accept this idea
now, maybe with the coming of another year we
will find some proof whereby we can grow the
necessary feeding stuffs for maintaining the farm
labor. T. G. w. BURKETT.

much pleased with it.. I think it has already been
worth what it cost me.
The farmers here are fighting General Green
with a vim. We are having SO much rain the grass
is getting a pretty good hold on corn, especially.
as people seem determined to keep their cotton
clean if they have to lose their corn. l think we
will all learn a lesson this year and not plant so
much next year. No man should plant more than
he can pillow over in four or five days. | think

The Scarcity of Cow-Peas.

Mecklenburg farmers are complaining of the
scarcity and exceeding high prices for cowpeas.
The price is from $3.50 to $1.75 a bushel and the
article is hard to get at that. And the peas that
are sold here are imported from Eastern Carolina
and some from South Carolina. The farmers here
say that this is a condition that should not be.
and it is highly probable that the harvest of peas
in this section of the State hereafter will be great

Pastures for Hogs.
Editors Progressive Farmer:

Editors Progressive Farmer: srr
Enclosed please find 81 for subscrip1 on. Be-
ing lacking in practical experience, I gould like
to learn from your most able staff how to procure
a winter pasture for sheep and what to SOW in cot
ton patch, I suppose the last blowing; also in cow
pea field intended for fattening pigs this fall.
And would their treading and packing destroy
the use of the winter grazing or would they root
it up? I shall want them on the peas two or
three months.
Very truly yours, J..F. M.
Brunswick Co., N. c..
Our correspondent here will find a very ~satisfac-
tory pasture from rye seeding, which should he
put in at the rate of two Or two and a half
bushels per acre in August or September. Rye
is a-quick grower, and a very satisfactory winter
pasturage for sheep. Some prefer to mix barley
and wheat with the rye, seeding two or two and
a half bushels per acre of the mixture. In the
cotton patch I should suggest either rye or Grim
son clover. Of course crimson clover materially
improves the land, but it will not stand much
pasturing the winter months. Tofollow cowressS
I should suggest either rye or crimson clover. IF
crimson clover is used it makes an EXCELLENT hay
the following season. Rive can be either used for
grain, or it can be pastured during winter and
spring.
Of course cowpeas make a good pasture, but
when the frost comes they will be killed, but the
vines, if any are left on the field, will be eaten by
the live stock. I think it is better to pasture
the cowpeas, or make them into hay and then
follow with the crop suggested above.

SmOot Investigation

A Washington special published in
this mornings Salt Lake Herald says:
Chairman Burrows states that his
committee will endeavor to renew the
hearings in the Smoot investigation
Tuesday. April Is. The attention OF
Senator Burrows has been called to a
conference of the Mormon church at
Salt Lake City early in April, when an
opportunity will be afforded for serv-
ing subpoenas on witnesses who are
members.
Mr. Burrows agreed that the sugges-
tion was worthy of consideration, but
has not indicated that 1t would be
adopted. or that subpoenas for addi-
tional witnesses have been sent out,
although it is stated on fairly good au-
thority that they have been placed in
the hands of Colonel Ramsdell, GER
geant-at-arms of the senate, for
transmission to Marshal Haywood for
service.

A CHARGE Of FLAG
DISSERTATION
Prominent Labor Leader in
Colorado Placed Under
Arrest Yesterday

An Associated Press dispatch from
Denver, dated yesterday, states that
William D. Haywood, secretary of the
Western Federation of Miners. was
arrested at the headquarters OF
that organization in that city on
charge of flag desecration.
The warrant on which the arrest
was made was sworn to by j. Wolff OF
this city and was served before Sher-
iff Rutan arrived from Telluride with
similar warrant, the purpose being
to foil the attempt to move Haywood
to Telluride.
When he learned of the action that
had been taken Sheriff Rutan declared
that nevertheless he would take Hay
wood to Telluride.
Haywoods attorneys claimed that
this could not be done until the case
brocght in Denver was disposed of
Justice of the Peace Hynes released
Haywood on 5000 bond. His case was
set for April q The charge of flag des-
ecration against President Meyer and
Secretary Haywood is based on the
issuance of a dodger by the Western
Federation OF Miners signed by tbs
two officers.

On the inStaIlmemt Plan

Notwithstanding that there is a mot
ley assortment of marriage ceremo-
nies under the Mormon teachings. and
a couple take chances on being sealed
for life or for eternity or both, the
marriage by a mormon elder is con-
sidered more binding than the cere-
mony of Mexican high priest. At
least this is the opinion evidently en-
tertained by F. w. Underwood. of
Kalamazoo, Mich. and Mrs. Dora A
Fletcher, of San Diego. who were unit
ed for the second time yesterday.
Their story is an interesting one.
Less than a year ago thew were united
in the holy bonds of matrimonv. al
least they supposed they were. by a
priest In Mexico. The certificate CIV
en- to them was written in Mexican. a
They could not read the contract and
did not know that 1t was merely a
year pass, as II were, for a trip upon
the matrimonial sea. 1t was quite
recently that they met a friend famil-
lar with Mexican customs in this re-
spect, who informed them of the ma
ture of their contract, which he SAID
was merely a license TO live together
for one year. They learned that the
certificate authorized their living to-
gether as man and wife for a period
of one year, and that if the trial ven
ture proved satisfactory TO both par
ties at the end of that time, they could
be married for all time.
Both were wen content to continue
the journey together and upon the ad-
vice of an alto. new decided to re-
marry. and in the language they could
understand Accordingly. they Sc
cured a license at the office Of the
county clerk yesterday and were unit
ed in wedlock by a deputy of the Of
flee, Elder David A. Smith of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints. 1t is hoped for their sake thai

1t Worries the Journal

The Reno Journal is out with an
edito ial giving its version of why
Nixon came back into the republican
party and alleges that it was because
he wants to be a candidate of that
party for United States senator. Ali
this seems TO worry the Journal and 1t
in effect says 1t will not permit 1t.
The republican party is glad to have
Mr. Nixon in its ranks and will take
ca e of its selection for senatorial
honors without any assistance from
the democratic party OF the journal,
which evidently considers Mr.. Nixon
a dangerous man for that position OF
it would not so previously attack him
in advance of any announcement on
his part that he desires that honor.

of the brides parents on Fourth street,
at $3.50 this morning. and was solemn
lied by Rev. H. o. Edison. in the pres
ence of only the members of the brides
family and the mother of the groom.
An hour afterward the happy couple,
accompanied by Mrs. Varien, left for
their future home near Blu ms, Harvey
county. Oregon, going by private con-
veyance.
1t was indeed appropriate that the
sun shone brightly on the wedding
day The brides popularity is largely
due to her happy. sunny disposition,
which has made her a favorite here In
Winnemucca, where she has lived ever
since her early childhood. Bright and
vivacious, kind hearted and true In
friendship, she is indeed richly en-
dowed with the charms and graces of
young man who Is worthy of the prize
he has won. He Is an enterprising
and successful cattle grower and
rancher in Harvey county, and is held
in the highest esteem by his business
associates and social acquaintances.
The popularity of both bride and groom
was attested by the large number of
handsome presents received by them
this morning.
The Silver State joins with the many
other friends in wishing Mr.. and Mrs.
Varien a long and happy life.

"AND SO-G00p-BYE."

The above are the closing words of
the sweetest. saddest little story we
ever read. and they seem applicable to
our own case at this time: yet, If 1t
were In our power to avoid using them
we would never do so. What a bless
ing it would prove. and how much
brighter ana happier the world would
be If good byes were spoken but once
in a life time, and then at its close.
But the painful duty now becomes
ours; the time of parting from the peo-
Pile of Winnemucca brings sincere re-
grets, and, prizing their friendship as
we do, we are forced to a deep reali-
cation of the truth in the old saying
that blessings brighten as they take
their fight" We hope. however. that
this blessing has not flown forever.
year ago the writer came to Winnie
mucca, and, whether desc wing of the
boon or not, was made the delighted
recipient of every kindness and con-
sideration that could be shown. We
are proud to feel that we have made
and retained many true friends during
our stay True, we have made enemies
also. but of them we are equally proud.
And now, in parting. we feel impelle1
to express our thanks. on behalf of
ourself and family. for the kind re-
ception and cordial treatment that has
been accorded us. Not other joys, nor
"happenin of things" as David Harum
describes it, can efface from memory
the pleasant recollection of Winnie
mucca and the friends gained here.
To recall them win be a sweet going
back along the shady paths of life and
drinking again from memory's pleas
ing fountain.
Few people realize the bond of fra
ternity and fellowship that exists in
towns of the size OF Winnemucca. who
have not lived in such. Closer relation
and more constant association tend to
strengthen the ties that bind its peo-
pie together. Truly,
I'VE share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear:
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear"
And few realize to what an extent
the life of the editor of a local paper
is interviewer with that of his fellow
townsmen. He is usually the first to
hear of their good fortune. and to con-
gratulate: he hears the news first of
their sorrows. and. if he be true man,
is first to share them. The news of
births. of weddings. of deaths. of gains
and losses, their goings and comings-
all the events that make up life pass
into his hands. and are given to the
world by him. We have tried to be
true to our trust here: we have en-
deavored to treat all alike. fairly and
impartially. Forgive us our errors God
knows we all make them. Remember
US as kindly as you can.
Tomorrow Mr.. Frank G.. jenkins will
assume edito ial control of the Silver
State. He is a capable. experienced
newspaper man. who will serve the in
terests OF Winnemueca better. we do
not doubt. than we have been able to
do. A ready. Independent writer. a
close observer of pleasant address and
hearty manner. we are sure that he
will be kindly received and royalty
treated: and we only hope for him that
he will be given the co dial. gratifying
support i'm his efforts here that we
have received from the people of VIM

And so. goodbye"
