HI ALFALFA CROP.

This crop is becoming a very inn
portant one, from the fact that it is
now being grown successfully from
Texas To Minnesota. The value of this
crop is just now being fully recognized.

farmer, says about 1t. He says from
100 acres the average is four tons per
acre each ear, which he can trade
pound for pound for corn in the a

man to bring two IONS OF clover hay

The Y. NJ. c. A. was In Cuba and
Porto Rico with the vans OF the armies
Ii got it's stationery to Santiago when the
government could not, and so the first
reports that the various generals sent to
the war department were written on paper
bearing the Y. NJ. c. A. heading. The
Y. NJ. G.. A. secretaries I'm the Philippines
went right 10 the front with the soldiers,
ard that also served to call the govern
ment's attention to the work OF the organ-
ization. Praise of 1t was continually sent
I'm by the commanding officers, and as a
result IL was not long before the govern
ment was requesting the Y. M. G, A.
TO send out a secretary on each transport
ordered 10 the Philippines. The govern
ment had come TO a full realization of the
fact that the work Of the Y. NJ. G. \.
was one Of the chief factors In keeping the
average soldier contented in strange and
insidious surroundings.
by the close OF the war with Spain the
work OF the Y. NJ. G. A. had proved OF
such inestimable value 10 the army that
congress passed a law permitting the erec-
ton OF Y. NJ. G. A. buildings on post
grounds. Under the tame law the secre-
tary OF war issued an order making Il pos
sib.e for the Y. NJ. G.. A. 10 be assigned
rooms IN the various post exchange build
ings. Fortress Monroe now has a fine Y.
NJ. G. a. building; a $4,000 one is being
erected at Fort Leavenworth. and Y. NJ.

carrying. and greater muscle develop

such form, The butcher Is, therefore,
able TO estimate the amount OF valuable
meat present from the width OF back
and headquarters and the filling OF
flesh In these parts. The forequarters
and lower parts OF the body furnish
less valuable meat. He. therefore, pre-
fers TO secure animals with a minimum

heavy bone I'm the head and limbs
means a corresponding development OF
bone and is usually associated with a
heavy skin and coarse flesh throughout,
and he. therefore, desires TO secure ami
mails fine in bone.
The above points may be illustrated
by a specific example. Suppose a
butcher buys a 1900 pound steer at
D 9 per pound, total cost S72. The
anna dresses out 60 per cent. or 100
pounds of beef. He must sell this T20
pounds for an average OF 10 cents per
pound to come out even, to say nothing
OF his labor, We will estimate that the
steer is OF such a nature that the cuts
weigh and sell as follows;

This viii allow the butcher q profit
OF $s.00 and yet permit him to sell the
meat AT the same prices, and this illus
trates how all important the form and
the disposition OF the flesh on the body

Another point of special Importance
Is the quality OF the meat. As has
already been stated. the nne grained
meat Is more tender than the coarse.
and In addition TO this the tenderness
rs Influenced by the fat interspersed
through the muscular tissue. This gives
choice beef the characteristic marbled
appearance when cut, and IL is evil

Patrick's Life in =. .
1SAdS, -. 3FryE

Galveston, Texas, Sept 1:-Charles
lionaire, William H. Rice, for whose
murder. Lawyer Albert T. Patrick
has been convicted, has been seen
near his home at Cove, in east Texas.
Ever since Patrick introduced wit
nesses who swore that Jones falsely
swore Patrick life away, Jones has
been sought, but never found; He dis
appeared nearly one year ago, and
while it: is believed he has visited his
home since then, he eluded capture.
Advices that reached here last night
were that Jones had been recognized
by young man with whom he was
reared. Jones was later sought at his
father house, but tie latter declared
his son had not been. home for many
months. The old man acknowledges
that he no. longer mourns Charles as
dead, but declares he is not in Texas.
- For months detectives for the state
of New York and for Patrick as well
secured the sparsely settled country
about Cove for Jones, but Of late the
vigilance has been relaxed. The officers
here say Jones' arrest is worth $1,000,
and they believe they have a clue to
his hiding places. His relatives at
Cove no longer assert that Jones is
missing, but swear that they know
only that he is alive and we'll. The man
who recognized him says he has grown
heavy beard and looks prosperous.
