A Gentleman of Experience Speaks With Knowledge

Wiekenburg. Ariz., Sept 12.-(Spe- cial correspondence of The Repub- lican.)--In view of the permanent in- staliation at wickenburg of great power plant. the representative of The Republican this week interview ed Mr. Wm. L. Cameron, soliciting agent of the Central Arizona Electric company, as to the best course to pursue to advance. the l1terest of a growing town. The questfon was asked by the writer after having gained the information that the gen tIeman has had wide experience in scenes incident to the removal of the swaddling garments. from strug- giing villages and the placing of them upon the plane of dress parade of growing. prosperous cities. In re- ply to the above question NIT, Cam eron answered;
 Well. in a humble way, I have assisted in. and witnessed the build ing up, of the cities of Memphis. Tenn; Knoxville, Tenn; Kansas City. Mo; Galveston, Tex. and Se- attle. Wash, and have helped to pro- mote enterprises in several smaller towns My experience has been that those enterprises have in every case tended to build up the place. Strange to relate, however. in every case at the beginning, the opposition came from parties who would likely be the most benefited by the improvement, and they were as a rule the most difficult to convince. They seemed to have a dread that in some un known way they would be interfered with or an unjust tax be placed upon their property. overlooking the fact that the construction of any kind of a plant in their city was bound to increase the value of their, prop erty or their business. Glance at the status of the cities named above today and compare them with the same cities ten or fifteen years ago.
 T am confident that the erection of the proposed power plant of the

ALFALFA FOR COWS.

u. H. Otis, professor of animal nu-
triton at the college of agriculture at
the University OF Wisconsin, has just
completed special study of the value
of alfalfa as a feed for dairy cows
An experiment which he conducted
showed that young COWS not giving
milk can be kept in good condition
during the winter gain from 1.25 to
is pounds per day when fed nothing
but alfalfa hay.
I'm composition, alfalfa is nearly,
If not quite, equal to bran, pound for
pound" says Prof. Otis, in discussing
its nutritive value. THE excellent
feeding value of alfalfa lies IN its con.
tent of digestible protein. With an
average yield of four tons, alfalfa will
produce $50 pounds of digestible pro
tein per acre. If this amount of pro-
tein is supplied from oil meal, which
is usually purchased for its protein
content 1t would require 1.5 tons.
which would cost at present $3.50.
"a summary of feeding trials with
dairy cows shows that alfalfa can be
made to take the place of at least one
half the grain usually fed our dairy
cows, and as the nutrients needed by
the dairy cows can be purchased much
more cheaply with alfalfa than with
grain. the cost of producing milk may
be greatly reduced by its use.
"The cash returns from feeding this
crop at the varinous experiment sta
tlons range from $40 to $40 per ton.
With four tons per acre these figures
show excellent returns from the land
devoted to alfalfa. A conservative es-
innate would indicate that he Wiscon-
sin dairy farmer can increase his prof
Its from so to 75 per cent by a liberal,
but judicious, use of alfalfa grown
ipon his own farm"

mailing. The signal to halt is given by
raising the right hand with the palm
in front. and gradually moving it
backward and forward several times.
When this command has been obeyed
one of the parties will move the right
hand again and move it slowly to the
right and left This means: who
are you? | do not know you" The
other party will then reply by giving
the peculiar signal of the tribe to
which they belong, and if this is not
understood the questioning party will
ask if they are friends by raising both
hands grasped in the manner of shak
ing hands, or by locking the two fore
fingers firmly while the hands are held
up. If friendly. the other party re.
spond with the same signal: but II
enemies they viii probably disregard
the sign to halt, or will give the sig
nal OF anger by colsing the hand, plac-
ing It against the forehead. and turn
in 1t back and forth while in that po-
sitior.
The Indians do not confine them
selves to these purposes in their sign
language. they have a pantomime
vocabulary which is exceedingly
graceful and simple, and which is u1-
derstood and used with great facility
and accuracy by all the tribes from
the ella TO the Columbia, the motions
and signs TO express ideas being com
mon to all 1t is a singular fact that
this Indian sign language bears
striking resemblance to that used by
the deaf mutes in public institutions,
General Marcy, well known in army
circles. said that he described buf-
falo hunt to the pupils of one of these
institutions, using the Indian sign
language and that the pupils under
stood him perfectly, with the excep-
ton of mlstaking a buffalo for a deer
BY means of these signs, the In
dians, whose sight is keen and prac-
ticed, can communicate with each
other at considerable distances and in
the presence of an enemy.
