Alfalfa Crop in Three Weeks

In conversation with some of our best farmers, we learn that they are having q new experience with alfalfa this veal to anything they have eyer ex rrienr,d and il alt guos to rj"vr that Imperial Nalley is the best alfalfa country that has ever been discovered as yet Nr. F F.. Forester planted a field to alfalfa last January, and began pastuliug it in April. He took the stock off about June at which time it was cropped close. Within three weeks time it was ready to cut, and was harvested, turning off about a ton and half of hay per acre. Mir. For reater says that it will be ready to cut again in three weeks time from it's first cutting and that it is q thick stand and will make as large, if not a larger crop than the first one He also says that his neighbor, w. H Brooks, is having to hustle the hardest kind to keep his eighty acres of alfalfa harvested into hay as last as it grows. Mr. Forester is an old time Californian, having spent many years farming in San Louis Obispo County and has been familiar with alfalfa for a long time, but he says this is Ie finest alfalfa country he ever saw. In no other place known will alfalfa produce heavy crop in three weeks. Alfalfa seems to grow spontaneously, it is springing up along the dtches, b. side the roads and in everyplace that gets irrigated and on all sorts of land. Our Valley, in a few years, will be as famous for it's alfalfa fields and rich farms and farmers, as Riverside is for its oranges, or San Diego for its bay and climate.

Paragraphs for the Busy

Carnegie says that poverty is 8 bless ing. This must be his reason for keep ing the miners and steel workers he employs poor, he wants to be sure that they are bless, d. Oddly enough though hr shys clear of all that kind of bless ing. We think, "what is good for the goose is good for the gander."
 While the American workingman is shouting himself hoarse for high tariff and a full dinner pail, the British Trad CTS Unions are opposed to a tariff on imports. They are both sure they are tight Yet neither has found the man who is getting his product when he is bound by q majority tariff discussion will stop. It would be interesting to know what side the Republican orator in Massachusetts thought he was on when he said "The issue is now Rei ub iicanism against Socialism,, or the rights of property against the rights of man." During the year 1903 there were S95 railway employees killed and 6400 in jured. More than half of the transpor- tation business is hauling the same goods from one end of the country to the other and back again uselessly. If this useless work was eliminated and the hours of employment reduced according the railroad business would cease to be a shambles.
 A recent statement of the Camp Bird Shelter at Quay, Colorado, shows that the profit on each worker in the shelter was six dollars per day during the last year. Poor, poor mine owners that should be prevented from getting a flair share" of the product of labor by the pernicious Western Federation of Miners which has declared by resolu- ton that the wages system must be abolished and labor should receive it's full product.
 How our people do love to make themselves believe they are getting -omethilg cheap. Most all public work must be advertised by law for competitive bids in hope that small cost in getting the work done may be the result. There are countries where laws are not so plentiful. In the country of Ontario, Canada, for in- stance, some approaches to bridges were built for $l ,422 by days work. The lowest bld by contract was $3OO0 and they were competitive bids too.

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
 Dollars Earned

The average man does not save to exceed ten percent of his earnings. He must spend nine dollars in living ex- pense for every dollar saved. That being the case he cannot be too careful about unnecessary expenses. Very often few cents properly invested, like buying seeds for his garden, will save several dollars outlay later on. 1t is the same in buying ChamberIain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It costs but a few cents. and a bottle of it in the house often saves ductOr's bill of several dollars. For sale by all dealers.

EDITOR NEWS: The Johnston Ii
brary seems to be the question OF
the day. With Brewster and Baxter
on one side and Sam Smith on the
other where do we honest farmers
come in! From moral point OF
view am opposed to public libra
ries, as / believe they are generally
used for a lot Of women and old los
sils TO meet and circulate scandal
and gossip and stir up strife IN pri'
vate families. AS an educational
institution am opposed to it; there
il too much education in Kansas
now. One.half our taxes go to edu-
cate a lot of people who might
without education be useful citizens
but who. with their heads full OF
literature, are utterly worthless.
The time was when our Negroes
were willing to work, and made
good servants at So a month. Now
-
they pass the sth grade, read Marie
Corrella, and play pool or shoot
craps.
think the Masons ought to have
that money; they need it to finish
paying for their building, and Bax-
ter Springs don't need free library.
The Masons could use the money
to much better advantage than put
it into lot of trashy novels, fairy
stories, love sick tales, and yellow
literature. The tax payers of Baxter
Springs would better put their
money into good roads, iron
bridges and street improvements
and let the library go. If the libra.
nv people would put in some solid
reading matter, such as DIR. Rob-
erts' sermons, Ingersoll's lectures,
Ebert Hubbard's lives of the
Saints, Joe Smiths Book of Nor
mon and Tom Watsons Magazine, I
might support Il, and Abe Swalley
would join with me, bat they wont;
they will pat In only such trash ~
women of advanced thought and
men with billy goat whiskers will
delight in. Let the money go to
the Masous or some other secret
society. ".
