DIRECTIONS FOR GROWING
ALFALFA IN WESTERN OREGON

The field should be moved when
ever the weeds begin to shade the
alfalfa: or whenever the growth
comes to a standstlll or begins to turn
yellow; or when the new shoots of
the second growth begin to appear
or when the plants show one tenth in
bloom. The cutter bar should be sel
about 5 inches above the ground. 1t
is imperative that the crop should
not be pastured the first two years.
Every year about April 1st, a dress
ing of 100 lbs, of land plaster should
be applied and while the ground is
still soft, thorough cultivation should
be given, with the disc harrow set
straight and weighter and run cross
wise, followed by the common har-
row. This cultivation keeps out
grass and weeds; splits the alfalfa
crowns and thickens the stand; keeps
the surface soil mellow and helps
conserve the moisture to carry the
crop through the dry months. If the
soil is poor a top dressing of well
rotted manue applied in the fall will
prove beneficial. 1t is well to let the
alfalfa go into the winter with six
or eight inch growth.
In western oregon the common
variety of alfalfa should be used,
preferably Montana growth.
In pasturing alfalfa, to avoid
bloating, cattle and sheep should not
be allowed to go on the field with an
emtpy stomach or when the plant is
wet, and to prevent roofing. hogs
should be ringed. Where cut and
fed green to cows, there is no danger
or bloating.
An acre of alfalfa will furnish pas
ture for about ten good sized hogs,
or summer green feed for ten cows.
Causes of Failure.
The causes of failure to secure a
stand of alfalfa are generally poor
ly prepared seed bed. poor seed or
the wrong time or method of seeding.
The causes of the failure of the crop
to grow after a good stand has been
secured, are either lack of alfalfa
bacteria, the need of lime, pasturing
when too young. an impoverished
soil, over crowding with weeds, a
shallow soil. poor drainage, lack of
cultivation, or, improper after treat
ment. A crop property started and
cared for should produce steadily
without reseeding for fifty years or
more. II. d. SCUDDER,

INDIAN MOURNS
LONG LOST DAUGHTER

Husum, Wash.-'Cayuse Johnny"
is an old timer and successful Indian
rancher, living four miles east of
here on Rattlesnake creek. Coming
here over 20 years ago, Johnny has
grown up with the country, his herds
of horses and cattle proving that he
has made good.
But Cayuse Johnny still mourns the
loss of his favorite daughter, Katie
who disappeared four years ago. At
that time the entire family were en-
joying their annual outing, along
with hundreds of other Indians, in
the huckleberry district, few miles
southwest of Trout Lake.
One day Katie, who was about II
years Of age, left the camp for walk
and never returned. Searching par
ties were sent in every direction for

Upton TO TRY AGAIN.
Sir Thomas Says He Will Make An
other Attempt to Get Cup.


Chlcago.-The Tribune prints the
following special cable from Naples:
Sir Thomas Upton, who is here
with his yacht Erin, asks that formal
announcement be made that he will
try again for the American cup and
will forward his challenge in August
next for a series of races under uni
versal rules, with a 90-foot boat.
81 think it would be the best plan,"
he said. "for a representative to car
to the New York Yacht club, and I
will wait the answer at my hotel. The
challenge will, of course, be intend
ed to cover a series of races under
American rules. I do not ask for
English rules, but there is no sense
in cup rules made a half century
ago.
Let it be understood I have no
complaint to make of past treatment.
The best boat has always won. The
reason for my persistence is that I
want the cup. In these further at
tempts 1 will give good sport. even
if I lose again. I do not think the
New York Yacht club will deny an.
other contest for the cup under the
conditions I have named.
"The races will be held a year
from next fall. My mind is made up
for a further trial, but 1 shall not
forward a formal challenge until Au-
gust. If Americans want a race on
fair terms they may have it. My de-
signers are working on plans for my
new boats"

OAKLAND, Dec S.-After three
months of discussion the ordinance and
judiciary committee of the city coun-
ell last night recommended the pas
sage of the board of health ordinance
providing for the scientific inspection
of meat in this city.
The only opposition to the ordinance
last night came from representatives
of the Butchers exchange, who at
tackled the ordinance on the ground
that it would tend to give the big
slaughter houses monopoly and crowd
out the ranchers and other small
butchers who have been furnishing
meat to the Oakland markets
One provision of the ordinance which
aroused great deal of discussion is
that the thoracic organs of slaugh-
tered cattle calves, sheep and goats
shall not be removed before inspection
by a meat inspector of the city or of
