DESTROY THE DoDDER.
An Enemy of Alfalfa That Must Be
ErddiCated or Fields Will
Be Ruined.

Editor Empire: If you have the in
flUence to scare the farmers of this
county into Kidding it of ''doddsr'
you will do more for them than all
the politics that you SO ably handle.
/ meyer saw ''dodder" until this
year. 1t has been in other sections
of the state for a long time. To those
who do not know it, it may be Identi-
fed by its yellowish orange color,
waving over the top of weeds and
alfalfa, and upon inspection will be
found to be supported entirely by it's
"host," as the plant on which 1t feeds
is termed.
1t comes from seed, swings around
and then what little root 1t has dies,
leaving it entirely on whatever it
has hold of, where it tattens and
throws out more traiIers, covering,
from one seed, large area in one
season. 1t is now beginning to bloom
and in about month will have seed
ed.
This pest will entirely ruin the al
falfa if it is not eradicated. 1t comes
started by this means more than any
other, but what l have seen thus far
has been in the draws and on the
weeds, where it will seed and spread
to the alfalfa.
Mr.. Charles E. BesseY, the noted
botanist of the University of Nebras-
ka, in last weeks Breeders Gazette
says that to eradicate it, it must be
cut out early and then see that no
fresh seed is sown.
This means that 1t must be cut and
destroyed. as if thrown where vegeta-
tion is growing it will find something
to fasten to and will go on to seed,
even keeping alive a long time on the
plant that is cut if kept from any
other a broken branch carelessly
dropped will fasten itself to a living
plant and grow.
Farmers would better cut all of this
at once, being careful to see that
none is left or any that is cut get
away, and when dried little, throw
it on a burning straw pile and let it
be consumed. By all means see that
none of it seeds or your whole alfalfa
field may be taken next year

The Nortonville, Kas., News tells
how Missouri editor got into trouble:
He had written an article concerning
a recent fire and also an obituary of a
particularly pecuniarY citizen. In
making up the forms the foreman got
the items mixed and the following
came out in the paper: 1.-THE bearers
lowered the body to the grave and as
it was consigned to flames there were
but few if any regrets for the wreck
had been an eye-sore to the town for
years OF course there was an
individual loss, but that was fully
covered by insurance" The widow
thinks the editor wrote the obituary
that way because the lamented part
ner of her joys and SORROWS owed him
five years subscription.

Stock Yards. Kansas City, Mo-, Tues

Stock Yards, Kansas City, No, Tues
day, July 9th, 1906
Prices on the various classes OF cat
tie were given a pretty thorough test
today, as some extra good quality was
shown in finished beef steers, three
loads at $500, ysarIings and heifers
mixed ut S. so, and a drove of short
horn panhandle feeders, 1O70-pounds,
wiutered in Kansas, at $40. Yet in
spite of these high prices. which were
the top paid here to date this season.
the general market is called weak to
10 lower today. 1t shows that the
demand for a choice class of cattle is
increasing rather faster than produc-
tion, although great strides toward
perfecting their herds have been
made by the cattle raisers of the
Southwest of late years. However,
the surplus of low grade, nondescript
cattle continues burdsasoms, and is,
responsible for the big bulk of COM
plants heard from sellers. Last week
was good week, but this week only
the best cattle have sold up to expec-
tations; grass cattle generally are to
Is cents below close of last week. Run
today is $4,000 head, Kansas grazed
steers selling from $500 to 1915,
heIfers 1925 to s4.25, COWS $3.50 to
1915, dry lot cattle around S1.OO per
cwt above these figures Veals are
25 to 80 cents lower than last week,
account of big supply this week,
and congested veal and mutton mar
kets east, best ones S4.75 to $3.50.
Packers. have taken about all the
grass steers SO far, a few heavy feed
ers to the country at S4.O0 to S4.75.
and some low grade stock cattle at
$3.50 to 1925, stock heifers strong.
1925 to $500. Supply of branded stock
and feeding cattle will be heavier
after this week.
Hog prices are fiuctuating consider
ably, with downward tendency last
week, but the market seems to be
gaining strength this week, top today
$3.50, highest in ten days, bulk S6.6
to Sc. 65. Weights around 100 pounds
sell at the top account of a good ship
ping demand for that kind. 1t looks
like the packers could not put the
price down permanently as they can
not keep from competing for the
rather limited supply, $4,000 today,
and markets are active this week.
High prices are causing producers to
take more pains with their hogs than
heretofore, more dipping tanks are in
use, in effort to prevent disease, and
all labor in this direction is well re-
paid.
Buyers have taken so to rs cents off
the price of sheep and lambs in the
last ten days, and yet prices are pref
ty high. Supply is fairly good, 5000
today, market steady at recent de-
clines, top spring lambs today $7.3O,
wethers $500 to $3.50, yearlings up to
sc. 90, ewes 4.65, thin Utahs weighing
SO pounds. Range sheep will soon
start from the Northwest, and it does
not look hopeful for advance in prices
just now.

w. Finkenbinder, county clerk of
Scott county, has put another ques-
tion regarding the sales of school
lands that have been forfeited. SD
preme court has knocked out all cases
of forfeiture because the sheriff on
his returns did not make sufficient
showing of what action had been
taken. The county clerk has written
to A. Gibson, school land clerk IN the
auditors office wanting to know if he
should start proceedings to forfeit
the lands second time
The lands have been taken up by
another reseutle and his title is cloud
ed because the lands were not forfeit
ed properly. The original settler who
gave up his lands years ago is not
likely TO come back and make his
claim unless the land is exceedingly
valuable, as the accumulated interest
and taxes amount to large sum, but
this man still has valid title to the
land and can obtain possession at any
time he wishes to make the back pay
ments- To forfeit the lands second
time the sheriff would have to find
that no one was in possession, and,
in the case NJ. Finkenbinder refers to
the land clerk, man has built a
home and is living on the property,
making it impossible to forfeit the
title. Mr.. Gibson advised the county
clerk to have the settler buy an as
signment from the original owner

Vote on all the High Schools.

1t will be a surprise to good many
counties i n the state to learn that un-
der the 1905 law they will be required
at the coming fall election to decide
by popular vote whether or not they
VIII provide special tax levy for the
support of county high schools.
Such an election is required in
every county Sin which one or more
school districts or cities of less than
1900 population shall have maintain
ed high schools" The law says:
''At the next general election, I'M
less previously submitted, the follow
ing proposition shall be submitted in
each county or part of the county in
the state to which this law may APP
ply; viz: May the provisions of the
high school act of 1905 apply in this
county?"
If the proposition carries, the coun-
ty commissioners must at once levy a
special tax of not less than one-fourth
of a mill, or more than mills, for
the purpose of creating general
high school fund. The money is tnen
divided up among the school districts
in proportion to the attendance at
the high school. The effect Of the
law, if generally adopted, will be to
establish a system of county high
schools in the state. If the PROPOSE
tion is beaten in the coming election.
it may be resubmitted at any future
eleetion on request of petition sign
ed by 25 per cent of the taxpayers

Please Keep Your Money.

There is so much pleasure in pub
fishing a newspaper that some editors
are refusing money as a reward for
their services. Here is the voice of a
North Dakota editor, which fairly
gurgles with the joy he feels to work
without money:
cit takes wind to run newspaper
1t takes gall to run Il newspaper. 1t
takes a scintillating, acrobatic imag-
ination and a half-dozen white shirts
and railroad pass to run a news
paper. But money-heavens to Betsy
and six hands around. Who ever
needed money to run a newspaper?
Kind words are the medium of eX-
change that do the business for the
editor-kind words and church social
tickets. When you see an editor
with money watch him. He will be
paying bills and disgrace the profess
sion. Make him trade it out. He
lives to swap. Then when you die,
after having stood around and sheer
ed at his little jimcrow paper, be
sure and have your wife send in for
three extra copies by one of your
children, and when she reads the
generous and touching notices about
you, forewarn her to neglect to send
fifteen cents to the editor The edi-
tor knows it and what he wants Is
heartfelt thanks. Then he can thank
the printers and they can thank the
groeers. Don't worry about the edi-
tor. He has a charter from the state
to act as door-mat for the cOmmun-
1ty. He'll get the paper out some
how, and stand up for you when you
run for office, and lie about your
pigeon-footed daughters wedding and
blow about your big-foosed boys when
they get 81 per week job, and weep
over your Shriveled soul when it is
released from your grasping body,
and smile at your giddy wife's second
marriage. He'll get along. The Lord
only knows how, but the editor will
get there somehow"

Every avenue of living is being
made easier by the inventive genius
of the age. There was a time when
the farmer or his wife must rise with
the first faint streak of dawn to milk.
After a day of weary toll he must go
again in the falling dust with one
legged stool and sit thereon while an
irritable COW wrapped her impatient
tail about his neck or deposited her
right hind foot in his weary lap.
Today they have at Manhattan col
lege of agriculture milking machine.
1t is an engine from which radIate a
lot of rubber tentacles, capped by
suckers, four of which are assigned
simultaneously to each COW. As MANY
COWS can be fpailed' at one til. as
there are suckers. What a great in
vention. Twenty-Five years ago the
suggestion of such thing would have
caused cow to laugh till her cud rat
tied. but here it is at last. No more
milk maids, no more burning swish of
a cows tail, no more homelY devices
to keep off the flies or mosquitoes, no
more red, cracked hands for the farm
er's wife OF daughter. Milking done
with gasoline engine. The world
do move.-Ottawa Herald.
