Reducing Weeds to the Minin1.sH. % sn

E. C. Cameron of Pike county. Mo,
is credited by an exchange witt rhe
following suggestions on growing 81
falfa.
After ,'e.veral years experimental
ton, with both success and failure.
unhesitatingly advise fall seeding.
While l know OF no plant that excels
alfalfa in vigor of growth after it is
once established, it is extremely timid
about its association with other plants
in its early life. Weeds and foXtail
are its worst foes. and how to avoid
them or to reduce them to the mini
mum is the problem before the alfalfa
grower. 1t is with this in view that l
advise the fall seeding. To my mind
the piece selected for seeding down
next fall should be upland naturally
we'll drained and fertile.
Preparation of Ground.
eff the piece selected is land in
wheat l should top dress it during
winter with all the stable manure
could possibly get on it-nOt IN great
hunks, but well distributed After the
wheat comes OF in June 1 should disk
it twice, once each way. After the
first shower the weeds will begin to
appear. then disk again. Keep this
up until about Sept 1. Don't pillow
under any circumstances, but kill
all the weed growth by surface cult
walton. al this sounds like work, and
it is w0sk, but the best remunerated
work a farmer ever did. About Sept
1, if there be moisture enough fol
termination, SOW twenty pounds OF
seed per acre Use a wheelbarrov
seeder and SOW ten pounds each way
This covers 'skips' and, gives a better
distribution of the seeds. Then slant
your harrow teeth and cover by going
over the field at least twice"

Order of "Stopers" Will Organize
Lodges Throughout Mexico.
The Stopers, a new organization
which is attracting wide attention
among mining men, is preparing to
establish a number Of lodges in Next
co. In addition to embracing the usual
fraternal features such as sick and
accident benefits, insurance, ETC., the
Stopers expect to join forces in pro-
noting in every way possible the best
interests of the mining industry, while
all wildcat schemes will be exploded,
says Modern Mexico. Legitimate
mining is a business that is growing
every day, and the fact that it has been
favorite prey for the illegitimate
schemer has had much to do with the
inception Of this organization, as it is
hoped that by the organization OF
those engaged in the legitimate e1-
ploitation of the industry mining may
be placed upon a higher plane.
The scope of this unique Organiza-
ton is liberal. in that il admits to
membership miners and men engaged
in legitimate mining. This includes
mining engineers, owners mining
brokers. managers Of mines, stock
holders id mines. etc, and in fact all
reputable men who are identified with
the great mining industry.

ting and Putting 1t Up.
Many people make the mistake of
tutting corn too green for silage. At
This stage there is u larger percentage
of water. and the silage when taken
out has a large amount of acid, less
starch and sugar and hence is less nu-
tritious. Corn planted in drills with
stalks eight to ten inches apart will
mature i good proportion of ears.
Harvesting should not begin until
the ears are passing the roasting stage
and begin to glaze. Unless the season
is exceptionally dry the stalks and
leaves will remain green, but too ma
ture or dry corn is more liable to mold
This may be found in spots around the
sides or more generally over the silO
wherever the air has gained access to
cause the fungous growth. This condi-
ton may be improved by tramping the
material carefully in the SilO, adding
water by sprinkling with hose, or if
this is not available direct a stream of
water into the blower or elevator suf-
ficient to saturate the cut fodder. This
moisture assists the material to settle
and acts as a seal to keep out the air.
There should be labor and teams
enough to keep the cutter running
steadily. Nothing is gained by cutting
Il large amount of corn beforehand,
hauling and piling near the machine
to be handled over again. Aim TO har-
vest at the least expense Il ton. This
will be accomplished as follows: Ii
hand cutting is practiced, cut and hand
directly TO the man loading, not throw
ing on the ground in bundles, which
will require an extra handling Let
each load come to the table of the ma
chine in turn, handing the corn direct
~ to the feeder. If the corn is long
and heavy an extra man is needed on
the table to assist
Power should be ample and in pro
portion to the size of the cutter. The
blower is replacing the elevator ma
chine, economizing space and largely
doing away with the stopping of an
entire crew 10 repair the elevator. If

ton Of the mine, and was highly pleased
with the outlook. as well as the present
condition of the property. Mr.. Brougher
was here about a month ago. and went
through the mine at hat time in COM
pany with Mr.. Douglass.
He submitted to an Interview with
the Bonanza at the time. but RETAINED
from expressing himself as foreibly as
he felt, not being an official of the COM
pany. Since then there have been ru-
mors to the effect that there is no ore
in the lower levels. Mr.. Brougher Is
now a director in the company; so he
feels no qualms in telling of what his
inspection showed him.

Atwood this week, reports that there IL
considerable work going or in that dis
trict this fall and that extensive opera
tions will be continued during the win
ter. Several leases have been let on the
Pawnee and Griggs-Atwood properties.
and these have been worked down to the
water level and have produced some
very high grade ore assaying as high
as $4,000 in gold to the ton; but the
water level is very shallow in that dis
trict, being from 80 to 200 feet.
The Goldyke Reef mine is running It's
mill on a good grade Of ore. of which
they have plenty in sight. and as they
now have an abundance of water. this
property will make a fine showing In the
next 80 days. They a found ore
lately that runs 81 a pound In this prop
erty. The water level is 200 feet.
The Gold King Mining company,
whose ground is situated one mile west
Of the Goldyke Reef. has let a contract
for 100 feet Of shaft. for which a new
within has been bought and is now at the
mine. On this property there are seven
distinct lodges, all carrying values In
gold and silver. Assays on one of these
was as high as $225. and values from ~
to $50 can be secured from any of them.
The only work on this property is a

company to sink to a depth OF 500 feet
and then start prosecuting and drifting
on the veins. and at the same time start
stopping on ore that Is now In sight In
