Alfalfa A Great Flesh
Producer.
(By A. D. Burhans.)

Throughout the whole corn belt, where
the main live stock feed has been corn IN
some shape or other. the alfalfa gospel is
taking root. There is no forage that can
do as much for the land, for hogs, cattle
or growing stock of any kind, as alfalfa
-. the writer was a young man woraing on on
live stock growing at this time. He well
remembers how Wichita, Kansas, was the
great market for Texas hogs, and has seen
thousands of these rail-splitting animals
driven on farms almost wholly given to al
falfa growing. They foraged on the al
falfa pastures all summer and early in the
fall were finished off with bit of corn for
the Kansas City markets.
Kansas farmers knew the value of pure
bred hogs, but they could buy the Texas
animals too cheap to bother with raising
pigs. To the Kansas hog grower belongs
the honor of teaching farmers that alfalfa
was the greatest swine feed on earth. Al
fa1fa keeps the blood cool, grows great
bone, makes thrift, keeps the hogs system
clean, and provides perfect growing ra-
ton.
The dairy farmer of the corn belt also
has learned thing or two about alfalfa.
He has found that three crops of hay from
well cultivated field are sure every season.
Alfalfa is never reseeded to preserve its
density on the ground in favorable local-
ties. It spreads from the roots as well as
from the seed.
A disc set just trife cutting run
a field of alfalfa that has grown too coarse,
will split the crowns of the plant and cause
it to sprout up finer in stem. This disclng
can De run again dcTOSS lie ASlu al IhC
opposite direction Do this after cutting off
a crop.
In the major portion of the belt, in
1906 four crops of alfalfa of over ton
to the acre each cut. The year was
particularly good for this plant.
The dairyman likes a finer stem to his
alfalfa than does the average farmer. He
finds that the cattle, the milk cows as well
as calves and growing heifers, appreciate
the most easily chewed stems.
In the alfalfa country one can see the
Itc ond lynC in
of this hay the whole winter through, and
it brings them out to spring fat and sleek.
Where SO much corn is fed to live stock
as in the belt where it thrives best, there
is no plant that can take the place of al
falfa. 1t, with corn forms a perfectly bal
anced ration for all growing animals. The
dairyman does not have to worry over the
high price of bran if he can grow alfalfa,
for the thing he buys bran for is wonder
fully abundant in this plant
We have seen dozens of dairy, farmers
who made bright alfalfa hay and ground
corn, an all winter feed that produced heavy
flows of rich milk.

The fruit grower who does not take the
birds into consideration is in the wrong
business, to say the least
Some growers make the fatal mistake of
destroying the birds that eat cherries and
berries 1t is true they do sometimes be-
come very annoying, but this can be les
sened by planting wild fruits that ripen at
the same time as the cultivated ones. Null
berries will help the cherries, as will
wild cherries, elderberries, wild grapes, etc.,
the later fruit.
A recent publication of the Department
of Agriculture names over 100 different in
sects eaten by the Bob White, among which
may be mentioned potato beetles, boil wee
wills, corn bill bugs, click beetles, chinch
bugs, cotton worms grasshoppers, ETC., all
harmful to the farmer. 1t states that "as
many as forty-seven cotton boil weevils
were known to be eaten at a single meal"
and that 'chinch bugs are destroyed by
the tablespoonful.
And yet the farmer will permit the city
sport to tramp over his fields, leave the
gates open and shoot the last quail on the
place. No one accuses the quail OF destroy
ing grain or fruit, yet unfortunately it is
good to eat and must be sacrificed to the
appetite of the game hog, and occasionally
though not often to the farmer, whose
faithful friend he is.

Thought He Was A Partner

Another case from "Little Africa was
before Justice of the Peace Cartwright
yesterday. The litigants were Mark
E. Taylor, proprietor of the thirst par
lor in that part of the metropolis, and
John Thompson, formerly an attache of
the place. Thompson was suing Taylor
for one-half interest in the resort.
He told Justice Cartwright that Tay-
lor had agreed to give him half of the
profits for performing certain duties
abont the saloon, and that he had taken
his share as they came in. This met
with Taylor's disapproval, and he eject
ed Thompson bodily from the dusky
haven.
Taylor denied any partnership agree
ment.

HITCHCOCK IS

Land Order
SPECIAL To THE NEWS

Washington, Jan. 80. Severe criti-
cism of Secretary Hitchcock WIS made
in the Senate today by Senator Carter
of Montana, based upon. the order of
the secretary in December, which pro-
hibits the issuance of patents OF land
under any of the land laws until after
examination of the ground by a special
agent.
Senator Carter some time ago pre-
sentad resolution which denies the
right Of. any executive officer to pre-
vent the granting of patent when the
law under which it is allowed has been
carried out.
Mr.. Carter began by asserting that
the order referred to expressed the
final estimate OF Secretary Hitchcock
as to the truth and varacity, the honor
and good faith of all settlers on the
public domain in the United States.
"It likewise arraigns, he added,
"all other persons seeking title to pub
lie land under existing laws. The or
der is without parallel in the history of
any government, save as applied to
provinces, classes or individuals sus-
pected of reasonable designs. 1t is
the elimination of a policy yunwarranted
in Jail and founded only upon base sus-
nicion. -

SPECIAL To THrsSFws

Charleston, West Va. Jan. 30. 1t is
stated that there We're ninety-one men
in the mine in Fayette County, where
an explosion of dust occurred yesterday
afternoon. 1t is not believed that any
of them will be taken out alive.
The force of the explosion was so
terrific as to wreck the entire tunnel
working.
So far the cage in the mine has been
lowered 400 feet or within $50 feet of
the bottom. Repairing will have to be
done before it can be let entirely down.
The Stewart Company already has
received sixty coffins and has ordered
twenty more.
1t is thought that the mine is on fire,
but this cannot be determined until
later.
The heat and smoke from the shaft is
intense and the men could not be reached
for a day or so if the shaft were in
working order.

TO BUILD

Plans for Episcopal Edifice Dis.
cussed by Sunday School
Association.

There was a meeting Of the Ladies
Sunday School Association yesterday
afternoon at the home of Mrs. X. II.
Hoffman, at which plans were dis
cussed for the new Episcopal church in
Lyon Avenue. The ladies' were
anxious to build stone structure, but
decided to defer action in the matter
until they obtain estimates of the cost
of such a building from one or more
contractors. Mrs. w. N. McGill said
she had the promise of an estimate from
one source, and Mrs. V. 7. Lewis said
that second estimate would prob
ably be obtained.
Work on the rectory will commece at
once on ground adjoining the church
site Money will be borrowed for the
construction of this building, as the
ladies' intend to devote the So, 700 in the
church fund to the church structure.
AS the ladies' will need about So, ,0O0

U. P. BUYS COAL
IN AUSTRALIA
Scarcity of Fuel COmpeIIs Hartman
System to Ship Across
Pacific Ocean
ESPECIAL To THE News"

Salt Lake, Jan. 30. Unable to se-
cure coal to meet it's own needs, the
Hartman system is buying fuel in
Australia and shipping it to this
country. Most of this coal is sent to
Omaha for use along the Union Pacific
line adjacent to that city.
The coal costs the railroad $40 per
ton on the docks in Australia. 1t was
estimated at the office of the line in
this city this morning that by the time
it reaches this country the cost is
doubled.
The great coal camps of the Union
Pacific are at a standstll and the No.
l mine at Rock Springs is closed be-
cause of lack of machinery. The rail
road is short nearly 200 tons daily from
that source alone.
Several steamers are on the way
from Australia now with coal for the
Hartman system and these shipments
will continue until the coal famine is
over.
