HAY CROPS.


The greater part of the hay used
in the cities and towns is shipped in
from the North, yet the three States
of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louis
lana average nearly Ealf ton mole
hay per acre than the three 81 ties
OF Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana, which
produce over three times as much.
BY growing two crops of hay per
year, as we can do, any land in fair
condition shoGld be made to produce
three tons a year, and these hay
crops will yield as large profit as
cotton making bale to the acre.
A ton of peavine hay has fertiliz-
ing value of SO. 1t also has a feed
ing value of at least $40 per ton
compared with wheat bran at its or
binary price in the South it is worth
nearer $20-and three-fourth of the
manurial value can be returned to
the soil after it is fed This means
that, at low estimate, ton of we'll
cured peavine hay is worth $3.50 to
the farmer who has stock to feed.

to make two bales of cotton per acre,

ought to be your aim.
Il believe 1t absolutely, and | have
no hesitation In saying 1t: With goo

Leavenworth, Kan, April with

of their cells amid unusual scenes at
the fire which destroyed four build

day.
With the fire gaining dangerous
Roadway, troops were rapidly placed
around the prison. The fire guard
line was placed about $50 feet from
the prison wall, the men being sta

was 200 feet farther back. The com
panies were extended in open order,
through this line no one except an
officer or soldier on duty was allow
ed to pass.
When the fire was started there was
glee among the prisoners. Let it
burn" they yelled. The water pres
sure was very poor, and as the water
sputtered uselessly from the hose the
prisoners laughed and cheered. The
flames leaped higher and gust OF
wind whipped smoke into the nearest
of the three cell houses.
The tone of the prisoners changed
then. For Gods sake, take us out, .
they screamed, battering against the
