Alfalfa; 70 acres: This was sown May lS 1905, yielding three cuttings of about five tons of clean hay the first season. During the sec- ond season, covered by this Timely Hint, about 20 tons of hay. The only cash outlay was S22 4l for irrigatng water. The labor re Quired was, mans time, IA days and team nine days, which is rather high labor require ment for this alfalfa on account of the small size of the field under consideration, and linn ited use of machinery. This crop at g % to 5000 ton, loose, which has been the price this season. represents cash return Of not less thar $l20.0O for the crop; but this hay was used to feed the team employed on the place, proving to be more than sufficient for that purpose, since a stack of about three tons re- mains at the end of the season. The manure from this source, being free from Bermuda grass seed was especially valuable for fertil- iZing part of the crops grown.

The amount of labor required for the crop itself was about lo working days, with team l1s days. The SeSbania used as green manur- ing on the west half of the potato ground was given l7 irrgationS. Bermuda grass, more over, fiOurished beneath the SeSbania to such an extent as subsequently, to require g days labor for cleaning up the .45 acres fertilized. Although the larger part of the crop came from the Sesbania fertiliZed portion of the pO- tatoes this method of enriching the soil proved very costly, ? days mans time and days teamwork being required to put the SeS- bania under and afterwards get rid of the Bermuda grass. Nevertheless, the labor en- tailed could easily have been managed by a careful farmer as the Bermuda digging was done in January when other work was not urgent.

Governor Crawford says that his
"calumniators" have been rebuked
by the result of the primary election,
when he received the nomination for
senator, and the presumption is that
he has received a clean bill of health.
The comparison is very much the
same as that "clean bill of health"
that was given Senator Gamble. He
was caught with the goods on sure
enough, but the eyes Of the legisla-
ture were closed to his poor qualities
and he was elected anyway. 1t is
much the same with Mr.. Crawford
the facts were presented mad they
were undeniable, but Notwithstanding
that there were sufficient people in
the state who absolutely closed their
eyes to what is really the best good
of the state and gave the nomination
to the governor. 1t is not often that
the people can be fooled, but they do
get it bad sometimes.

One election under the primary

been held in this state, ought to put

ually destroy all party lines and it
will just be a wild scramble among
the people from n end Of the state
to the other. The primary will as
certainly make it impossible to hold
any party Of men together as it is to
drive them apart. 1t will utterly
route men from holding any conf
dence, political confidence, in each
other. A candidate coming up for
office might as we'll remain at home
as to go out and try to get votes from
a thousand Observation-Disclosures is
nothing at all to hold them to any
principle, for there will be no princi-
pies to follow. Under the future pri-
mary, no man in the legislature will
know to whom he is responsible

way they desired, but 1t did not seem
reasonable. One of the tickets show
ed a very changeable mind, for in six
different eases the elector voted for
two candidates for the same Office,
and of course they did not count for
either one. There were cases where
but two or three candidates were
voted for on the entire ticket. Doubt
less the indefinite mind of the voter
was such that he did not thoroughly
understand the complexion of the
candidates and rather than show his
ignorance by inquiring, he took no
chances and simply voted for the men
whom he absolutely knew to be right.
It does not give a voter a fair and
impartial opportunity to express his
choice for a candidate.

About n of the best cleanups in

About one OF the best cleanups in
the state was the defeat Of State
Treasurer Cassill in his own county
by George Johnson, who came out as
candidate but a short time ago.
The interest grabbing contest was fin
ally admitted to be right by Mr.. Cas-
sill. as was stated in the public press
a few days ago. and the good people
Of Lincoln county set their seal Of
disapproval on the state treasurer's
action. However. by what means Of
reasoning they could arrive at the
conclusion for voting against Mr..
Cassill for what he was charged with
and at the same time vote for Cover
ner Crawford Is past all comprehen-
sion. II the people Of that county
felt at all in a Furnishing mood for
past offences and failure to live up to
promises they had a better case
against the governor than they did
against Cassill.

One Of the most noted criminal
cases of the country has been closed.
1t ended with the pardon by Cover
nor Wilson for Caleb Powers and
James Howard, both Of whom were
of completely in the murder
of Senator William Goebel some eight
gears ago. Howard was sentenced
to the penitentiary for life. Powers
has been on trial four different times
and the last time the jury disagreed
and Powers was still held until the
present time. He has been in Jail at
Georgetown all these years, where he
has conducted his business from an
office arranged for his comfort by his
friends. The Kentucky governor fin
ally pardoned the men on petitions
that were presented from all parts of
the country, expressing the belief
that both men were innocent Of the
crime charged and that a continual
ton of their persecution would lead
to further troubles in political cir
cles.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1908-06-19

1t will doubtless be a week yet be-
fore the absolute returns from the
primary election are secured. Until
that time the fate of several men on
the state ticket will be in doubt. The
splendid run that Burke and Martin
made leads to the hope that they have
been nominated, and the insurgent
faction is not claiming the election
of Glass and Hall as a sure thing.
That Cassill is defeated for state
treasurer there is now no question,
and there is a strong possibility that
Ramer for state superintendent of
public instruction will pull through.
To have secured this much means
that the stalwarts have made some
splendid gains throughout the state.

The June graduate is occupying
the attention of the world at the
present time, and the thesis and ora-
ton will have full sway. Wrongs that
stood prominent for years will
be righted; important questions
which hav enot been undecided will
receive the attention that is necessa-
ry; people will be shown the kind
of a life to lead and there will be
hundreds of other things set forth
from the tongues Of wisdom. And
then the young ladies and gentlemen
will go out and commence to battle
with the world which is standing with
open arms ready for them and then
1t will become apparent to them that
there is still something to learn by
brushing up against this old world
and have the polish put on. which
10 accomplished through some pretty
hard knocks and trying situations
but the polish will come in time II
the graduate does not get fatigued.
There is one good thing about the
graduate-he Is to the greater extent
optimistic, and that will be one good
contribution to his nature, for he will
worry less and get along faster and
with less disbursements than the
pessimist. :.

ideas of what a legislature should do.
The continuation of the primary will
eventually do away with the political
on which a party is able
to make a fight. The time will come,
as was demonstrated in the recent
that men will follow of a
old idea-and further than that it is
not the belief that men as rule can
vote wholly intelligently where can
didates become numerous. With
party lines split up, men do not rep
resent any policy to be followed by
state government. The legislature
will be made up of individuals
without party lines and it will be a
warm proposition to get them to act
concertedly. The primary is a long
way off from reaching the alleged
ideal conditions that are supposed to
exist in some form or other In some
other country. We are inclined to
the belief that when the legislature
meets next winter that there will be
some drastic regulations made on the
primary law. and they will not be
advocated wholly by the stalwart
leaders either, but that the insur-
gents will join hands in doing some
thing to relieve the situation as 1t
appeared in the JuEe primary. A
week has passed. and yet it is not a
certainty who has been nominated.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1908-06-19

1t will be a relief when the votes
are officially counted in the primary
election. Without full official re-
turns efforts have been to
try and arrive at a conclusion of how
the candidates stood, and as each
succeeding day came and went there
seemed to be grounds for revising
the figures of several of the aspi-
rants for the nomination of a state
Office. There is hardly any use mak-
ing any more representations as to
who is nominated for the day brings
in additional figures that throws OF

certain extent is true, and still 1t
may not be wholly perceptible in
tho greater sense to the farmer. The
Washington Post has been looking
up the reports of officials and taking
into consideration the statistics that
have ben gathered, and the paper
sets forth Jan interesting ARTICLE on
the waste on the farm, with a view,
perhaps, Of showing the farmer
where lie lis unconsciously losing
money, which at the time might
appear trivial to him. With the
same idea in view we present the
deductions Of the Post on the subject
In the following:
From authoritative reports by
government officials it appears that
some 1851, OBJ cattle die in the
United States annually from disase
and exposure-most of them from
neglect. From the same source it
is also ascertained that the loss of
sheep from the same causes Is as
great
These figures only serve to show
what, a wasteful people we are. One
of the excus the Beef trust makes
for high prices of provisions is the
enormous death rate Of live stock on
the range and on the farm, most of
1t due to pure Jriflinpness OF the
herdsmen and the ..grazier. Indeed,
the losses by neglect and exposure
greatly exceed the losses by disease
1t would be impossible to estimate
the waste of farm products aztec
they mature in the field. but it is
enormous, some Of 1t due to scarcity
of labor, but most Of 1T traceable TO
thriftless %husbandry, or, in plain
speech, downright laziness. One
source of waste Is imperfect cultiva-
tion, for millions Of farmers persist
In half-cultivation OF large areas
when they would make more proper
tillage of fewer acres. Then there
is Immense waste In the disregard
Of intelligent rotation Of crops This
is the worst sort Of waste, for it
means devastion of soils that requires
years Of provident tillage to replace.
All over the east are abandoned
farms that would today be gardens ii
they had been given intelligent
cultivation. That farmer is not fit
for his vocation who does not increase
the fertility of his soil every year be
cultivates 1t.
Under the new system of "dry
farming" invented by Mr.. Camp
bell, somewhere out west, drouths
have been robbed of most of their
terrors; and IL forests that we're
wantonly destroyed we're restored
and conserved, the frightful wastes
o%ccasioned by floods, amounting to
800, 00O, 900 annually In the Ohio
valley alone, would be avoided.
This is q magnificent country Of
ours, but we have used 1t like the
prodiQal who dissipates his patrimony
In riotous and rninous living.
The vast wealth we have accumu-
lated "a acquired by reason OF the
many advantages we enjoy, one Of
the principal being the cheap food
produced on the farm. Unless there
is less waste. that cardinal source OF
prosperity will oou be a thing of
the Dast.

Interest is beginning to develop in
the vice presidential candidate, for it
is necessary that there be n nomi-
mated at Chicago's convention. The
vice president at the national con-

ding, both are necessary, but they are
lost sight of in the one figure that
