FOR STOCK FOOD
is Finding a High Place Among
Feeders for Cattle and Has Been
Successful.

Omaha, Neb. Oct. 16.-Fortunes
are to be made in the west on alfalfa
this year. The wealth in alfalfa has
been becoming more apparent each
Iyear, but 1908 will mark the begin
ming of an era of alfalfa meal mills,
an industry which is already de-
manding so large a share of the al
falfa crop that it is impossible to
secure the foliage at the points
where the mills are located.
An operator who has a mill near
|Omaha producing 200 tons of alfal-
ia meal per day said II get one car
when l want twenty, ten tons when
IL want one hundred tons Of clean
alfalfa and the result is that we will
have to grow the raw material our
selves or move the factory to a CEN
trail point where the alfalfa is
grown"
AS is we'll known the demand for
alfalfa either in its natural form or
made into meal, has grown because
of the high price Of corn which has
made it impossible for feeders to
makes profit by feeding cattle moth
ing but corn at so to IS cents per
bushel and selling the cattle for 81
to SO per hundred. Even at the
highest price paid for stock, many
feeders declare they would make
money by selling the grain.
Scientists at the agricultural col
leges have demonstrated. also that
cattle in fattening cannot use all the
carbohydrates and oil in corn with
out a potein ration. Alfalfa is the
best protein known according to the
experts and they propose methods
of handling it which will decrease
the cost of fattening cattle, increase
the supply OF. and thereby lessen
its cost to the American householder,

the present high price of meats be-
ing due to the short supply and cost
of feeding stock so cen corn.
The increasing demand for alfalfa
and it's growing Importance to ag-
ricultural interests are the reasons
for the directors of the National
Corn Exposition providing a special
alfalfa palace" for the exposition
to be held in Omaha December 9
to 10. The demonstration to be Civ
en- at this palace will include an in
teresting exhibit by the great pack
ing houses of the country which
propose to show the superior quality
of meats from cattle fed on alfalfa
and corn-a balanced ration-as
compared to those fed on corn alone.
The packers also have lecturers
who will present careful figures as
to cost of producing cattle which
will ''top" the market.
Plant breeders will deal with the
problems confronting the alfalfa
growers. One of these questions
which is one of the greatest of i'm
portance is that of maturing the al
falfa plant in order to produce seed.
In the whole state Of Iowa there is
but n small section where the
plant will mature and produce seed.
Growers cannot depend on the plant
which produces but two drachms.
They must have a plant which will
produce from eight to ten drachms
and there are sections of the coun-
try which will mature alfalfa pro-
ducing "a drachms to the plant.
The seed question is but one of
the problems Of the grower The
varieties with course stems must be
eliminated. The type of alfalfa which
will resist disease and retain its fol-
iage must be developed, while the
implement manufacturers are an
ticipating the situation and are per-
fecting tools for efficient handling
of the crop. ALI of these subjects are
to be studied at the National Corn
Exposition, as we'll as exhibits of al
falfa shown from all parts of the
world.

AS election draws care there is
less apprehension that Mr.. Bryan
will be elected to the presidency. The
democrats have been talking wildly
of late in order to try and convince
the people that they have a big show
of electing Bryan but when they
were asked to show cause why lie
should win out the bottom dropped
out of their assertions, and they were
forced to admit they were blufling.
Judge Taft's chances are growing
stronger every day, in fact they never
were really %imperiled, except for the
bluffs of the democrats who evident
ly wanted to throw a into the
campaign at the last moment. Repuh-
lican success looks good even with
out New York state this year, al
though New York will undoubtedly
go for Taft.

George w. Egan had his inning
at Sioux Falls Thursday night, when
he stood before an audience that
filled the theatre building to its linn
it. Mr.. l1gan charged his friends ana
admirers 30 cents per head TO get
into the opera house to hear him vim
dictate himself as d disbarred Law
yer. MI. lIgan, according to a re-
port in the Sioux Falls Press went
after his enemies in Il way that gave
satisfaction to his friends, and they
considered he did a great stunt. Mr..
lGgan felt aggrieved that the supreme
court had disbarred him on evidence
submitted to it and which he could
not controvert. So he threw open
the doors of the opera house and eX-
tended an invitation to the public at
90 cents per head to come in and
hear his spectacular defense OF him
self and to hear him attack the hon
esty OF the supreme court and the
characters of other attorneys in
Sioux Falls. That his speech was of
the spectacular variety was evident
from the fact hat the house was
darkened and an electric sign was
displayed which showed the SEN
tence Right Will Prevail" His
speech was punctuated a half dozen
times during the evening by display
ing the sign. 1t is stated that Egan
made charges against other attorneys
in Sioux rails which made the aud
fence gasp for breath at the very
mention of the wrong doing. Egan's
entrance into South Dakota was of
the spectacular character and he has
not lost any of it since coming. He
simply made a mistake in the o.
GRADY case and because he was pun
ished for the offense he feels it in
cumbent to attack others and try
and show them up. Egan has the
same right to proceed against them
as he was proceeded against, if he
wants them to be placed in the same
category as he himself is placed. We
understand that Egan will remain
on the republican ticket just the
same. but there is some question as
to his being able to hold the office
should he be elected.

BRYAN's SAME OLD CRY.
:

1870
There is not much difference in
the Bryan OF today and that OF
twelve years ago in the matter OF
appealing to the voters OF the u
try to support him. 1t has been a
habit OF Mr.. Bryan to try and i'm
Nesss upon. the farming and labor
ing class hat unless his theories
were recognized hat dire calamity,
hard times. etc. would be visited
upon the people. He did not stop
70 think that the republican party
was in power and constantly putting
TO out the possibility OF the very
things coming to pass that he was
engaged in predicting and hoping to
make good on them. Turn back to
the campaign OF 1896. and how does
Bryan appeal to the judgment of
the voters. Listen to this demagogic
harangue:
IF Mckinley and the Republican
party are successful and put in.
power for the next four years, wages
will be decreased, hard times will
come upon u.s., and ver the lan1>the
price OF wheat will go down and the
price Of gold will go up; mortgages
on your nome will be foreclosed by
the money lender. shops and fact
cries will close. We will export no
goods and we will import from for
eign lands all the goods we use;
thus. will ruin, want and misery be
with u.s."
Mr.. Bryan made the above state
ment In all sincerity. He was not
joking and according to his theories
he expected just that very condition
of things to come about. All that
Will be necessary for the average per-
son to do is to. look back over the
history.of the past twelve years and
for themselves how pessimistic
ME-. Bryan is and how easily the
country escaped the dire calamity
that the wise leader predicteu. In
his heart Mr.. Bryan did not really
believe all these things were coming
to pass, but he thought that it would
be an easy matter to raise the ap-
Drehension Of the people to the point
that they would give a to his in
sincere pleadings. The prosperity
that has been abundant in all the
intervening years shows that Mr..
Bryan simply deceived the people
and sought to sway them to his way
of thinking when he had no reason
for throwing out such a pessimistic
appeal. The late Mr.. Mckinley and
President Roosevelt have made Mr..
Bryan's predictions look very cheap.
Has Mr.. Bryan improved any since
twelve years ago? Does he LOOK on
the conditions Of the country with
any mor favor than he did then?
Well. hardlys Two weeks & he
spoke at Lincoln. in his home state.
and here is the way in which he sets
forth the conditions of the country
from his same Imaginative stand
point:
That this panic still continues
can be- proven in many ways: First,
by number of men IL Of employ
ment--men who ar anxious to work
who are not able to find work to do.
An effort has been made among
those securing special privileges
from the government to answer this
argument by starting up some of
their mills in the closing days. but
