RArIoEs FOR cows

Some of the sources of nitrogenou
food for diary cows. 1t was assumed
fundamentally that on farm of 200 acres
800 bushels of corn might be raised, o
which one third would be given to pa!
for the lab ,r, and two7tbirds would h'
left as the portion falling to the land
OF this 200 bushels corn, the support O.
the horses and poultry and pork produc
ton would assume the entire amount, leas
ing to the herb as its portion OF the corn
crop, the storer alone, says the Maine
Farmer. From 80 acres this should be
sufficient to nourish 80 milking cows,
when properly combined with other
sources of food.
Alfalfa hay is considered difficult crop
to grow in some sections, but it is also so
extremely valuable that no effort should
be spared to secure it; and whenever it
can be bought more cheaply than it can
be raised, no sentiment or theory should
stand in the way OF its purchase. Its
price in Central Nebraska of Sc. rs per ton
baled f. o. b. care is low enough to attract
the attention of buyers; but the freight
rate of nearly $40 per ton charged by the
transportation companies to Pennsylvania
points makes it a question whether the
farmer can afford to get it this way.
Even at this price, however, OF $17 per
ton, in round numbers, it is So per ton
cheaper than bran, and preferable to
bran in the minds Of practical feeders.
To those, however, in the long run who
look confidence to attempt the cultivation
of alfalfa, substitute for it can't be
found in the crimson clover and the
Southern cowpea. Neither of these crops
taken alone is the equal of alfalfa in
quantity, although either one is fully
equal to it in quality.
The clover occupies the land from
until the middle of May, and |
the maximum crop of it would make |
about two and half tons of hay per acre.
After the removal of the hay, about the
middle of May, there remains ample time
10 pillow the land and seed it to one of the
early maturing, up-right-growing varities
If the oow-pea. For this the New Era
variety is especially desirable. This crop
,an be secured by the last of August, and
With favorable surrounding a maximum
yield of two and quarter tons OF dried
nay per acre may be expected. As SUBJ
titute for alfalfa, therefore, the crimson
,lover occupies the land in winter; the
,owpea in summer.
As to the question whether the small
mount of cottonseed meal added to the
alton of shredded fodder and alfalfa hay
nay be avoided and the total supply of
ood gained from the farm itself, the re-
,ly was that whenever the market prices
# food products are lower than the farm
RS cost of production he should produce
ather than raise his food, but that in this
ase it was highly probable that by the
udicious selection of seed more than the
'ercentage of protein in both stalk and
rain could be so materially increased
hat the cottonseed meal might possibly
e reduced to one-half or entirely omitted.

LIQUOR Ii
al CENSERAISED
City Council In Special Meeting Raise
Saloon License From $50 to
$500 for Each Year.
ORDINANCE NOW IN FULL FORCE
Other Ordinances Relating to Licenses
, Revised and viii be Approved
This Evening.

Hereafter the saloon men of Lew
istown will be compelled to pay to
the city the sum of $500 a year as
against the sum of $50, which they
have paid in years gone by.
The city council met in special SEES.
sion last night for the purpose of re-
vising the ordinances relating to Ii
censes in the city and among the
questions that came up was the one
of the liquor license. It was the opin-
ion of the council that this license was
not nearly high enough and after a
brief discussion the sum of 5000 was
fixed upon as the amount by which
the city was to be made richer eacn
year from each saloon The
amendment "a passed and approved.
This is something of a jump, but the
action of the council will be support
ed by all good citizens of l.ewistown.
Many think the license should be far
in excess of that set at the meeting
last night but this is good for the
present. The new ordinance is now
in effect, as the clerk posted the no
tice this morning.
The ordinance Is as follows:
An ordinance 10 amend ordinance
