When to Cut Alfalfa.

Alfalfa is about ready to cut in parts
of the southwest at present. 1t ought
to be cut for hay whenever it begins
blooming. The ideal condition IS
when about one-tenth of the plants
have come into bloom. The greatest
yield of food nutrients is obtained
when cut at that time. If cut earlier,
the total yield of hay is diminished.
If cut later, the total weight of hay
may be slightly larger but the quality
will be poor woody, and stem-ny with
many of the leaves lost. A further
excellent reason for giving close atten
ton to the time of cutting alfalfa is
that when cut at the right stage of
growth, the next crop starts off at
once. This doesn't give weeds and
grass a chance and haStenS the time
of maturity of the next crop. If cut
ting Is delayed until full bloom, the
plants seem to think that their natur-
al job of seed production has been
done and they are slow about starting
into growth again. Cut your alfalfa
regularly when it begins coming into
bloom and you'll not have the trouble
that you might otherwise have in
maintaining a profitable stand. A good
narrowing or disking right after the
first cutting also helps whole lot In
the fight with grass and weeds if any
are present.
Curing Alfalfa Hay.
Several have asked why more speci-
fic directions for curing alfalfa hay
are not given. That's one among the
many places in farm work where the
good judgment of the man on the
ground must determine what to do.
When the soil is dry and the sun
shines and the wind blows, the prob
lem Is to get the alfalfa raked up
and hauled into the stack or barn be-
fore the leaves are lost. But when
the soil is soaked with water. as it's
likely to be at the time of the first
cutting, and sometimes 1T rains and
sometimes the sun shines and it's
cloudy most of the time, then the al
falfa growers troubles multiply and
he must work them out as best he can
The end sought is to get that hay cur
ed without losing the leaves. This is
perhaps best accomplished iby putting
into winrows before the hay is dry
enough for the leaves to rattle of
while raking. Then If the hay is put
into small piles, it will cure out with.
out losing the green color which is so
desirable in hay to be marketed. And
II a rain comes, troubles increase and
multiply. The best that can be said
is that alfalfa should be cured before
1t is stacked. I've heard all about
these fellows, who "just cut it down
and rake 1t up and haul 1t in and ii
comes out bright and sweet" But they
are not ordinary mortals.

BOYLE Is
GUILTY

Mercer, Pa, May 6.-James H.
Boyle was found guilty of kidnapping
Billy Whitla this afternoon. When the
court convened counsel for Boyle en-
tered plea refusing ITO offer evidence.
This assured Boyle's conviction. The
jury retired and din fifteen minutes re-
turned with verdict of guilty.
Mercer, Pa, May 6.-Billy Whitla
was on the witness stand in the trial
OF Jas. H. Boyle under the charge of
Kidnapping the boy. He pointed his
finger at the alleged kidnapper and
said: THAT is the man. He had been
asked to point out the man who took
him from Sharon last March and the
answer was given without the slight
est hesitation. Hundreds crowded the
temporary court house when the trial
was called. Boyle pleaded not guilty
and a jury was summoned. T. G. Cock
ian, in charge of the prosecution, out
lined what the state expected to prove
this being practically according TO the
accounts already published of the kid
mapping.

Indian Governor is Missing.

Santa Fe, N. M, May 5.-U: s. At
torney for the Pueblo Indians, A. j.
Abbott and Superintendent of Public
instruction Clinton J. Crandan have
been quietly searching for Ysidro Chi
jea, the governor of the pueblo of
la, whoZ disappeared several weeks
ago. The most skillful questioning
of the Zia Pueblos, who are rather
close-mouthed anyway, has failed to
furnish any clue and it is the preva-
lent idea that Chijea has been dis
patched to the happy hunting grounds
as part fthe drama of feud that
has been rending Zia for some time
past This is not the first time in the
history of the Pueblos that brave
has disappeared mysterious1y and was
never heard of again and as the Pueb-
los have a form of government of
their own with priests and officials Sc
lected by themselves, it Is very diff
cult to pierce the veil OF secretiveness
with which they shroud all their ac-
tions However. no effort will be spar
ed to find Chijea and II he has been
murdered to bring the guilty parties
to Justice.

ring down and come out for the pro-

ring down and come out for the pro
gressive.
To "throw" the Aldrich-Dalzell-C Can
non triumvirate is equivalent to ask
ing the president to desert friends
that stood by him as a candidate and
made possible his election. 1t was the
big protected manufacturers represent
ed by the Aldrich crowd who started
the impression among their employees
just prior to election that in the event
of the success of Bryan wages might
be out or the working forces decreas-
ed. This veiled threat in the opinion
of the foremost political experts of the
country, had the effect of frightening g
certain percentage of wOrkin gmen
into voting the Republican ticket.
The big industries which supported
the Republican ticket expected to be
paid for their assistance, and for
their monster campaign funds, thru
high tariff rates on the commodities in
which they deal. The protection wall
which keeps out competition and
gives them practically a monopoly on
their particular wares, is held up by
Aldrich and his co-workers in Con-
gress. If President Taft intercedes
and uses his powerful resources as
president to dethrone the tariff czars,
the tariff wall will drop. So the pro-
tected interests are in a position to
object with some show of reason TO
the carrying out of the will of popular
sentiment, which is Enthusiastically de-
revision.
Therefore the thing the president is
asked to 10 is a grave political step.
He is asked to drive the Aldrich fol-
lowing out of the party, or at least to
take from this faction the power to
IL
shall be passed. The ring of tariff
schemers is in control of the Republi-
can party. 1t has an organization of
known value, built up by years of tar
iff log-Tofling. The progressive ele-
ment from a political standpoint is
still in its infancy. 1t is of an I'M
known quantity. To give us a GER
tainty for an uncertainty is what the
President is asked to do.
Come out for revision downward"
is the call of the progressive Repubh-
can press. use your influence for a
reduction of the tax on the necessities
of life
'Stick with u.s." say the protection
wall politicians; "Be game. Don't mix
with the reformers.''
Within month, when the tariff bill
lies before him for his signature, the
President will be in a position where
he will have to respond to one of the
two voices.
If he refuses to sign the Aldrich bill
the protected interests will condemn
him for having deserted the protac-
lion policy of the Republican party,
and for having failed to make good
arrangements. Re-nomi
nation would be Impossible.
If the President signs the bill the
element of his party will
charge that he is dominated by the
protected interests, and that he failed
TO make good his prediction promises
If revision downward. Reelection
would then be impossible.

IMPEACH

house today regarding mis- resolution
OF inquiry into the Official con,iGct #
Federal judges, McFherson and PtilI-
ips, of the Western District of Miss
ourd, Representative Murphy. announc.
ed he would file formal charges of i'm
peachment.
Murphy brought the matter up as
a question of personal privilege, read
ing newspaper dispatches to the effect
that Frank Hagerman, attorney for
eighteen railroads in Missouri, had
telegrsphed the Attorney General that
the charges against the Judges were
"a tissue of misrepresentation" Muir
ply, in making recital of the charg-
es, called on Rucker. his colleague,
to substantiate what ne said. Rucker
did so, saying Phillips should have
been impeached twenty years ago
Murphy denied Missouri had been
accorded courtesy in the trial Of the

gress to require the Federal court to
proceed along decent lines in Missou-
ri.

REVISION
DEMANDED

Washington, May 6.-Predtcting
that failure to pass a tariff bill provid-
ing for lower duties on imports would
not prevent another political contest
for revision of the tariff, Senator Cum
minis, of Iowa, delivered a notable
speech in the senate today.
The bill before the United States
said the senator, will not be accepted
by those who favored revision of the
tariff as either fulfilment of the party
pledge of a settlement of the contro-
versy. If this bill or anything substan-
TALLY like it becomes law, I predict
campaign for lower duties will be-
gin the moment the extraordinary ses-
sion adjourns and will continue with
increasing zeal, until judgment is OBJ
tanned in the court of public con-
science and also in the journals of
congress"
Senator Cum-nins then said: who
insisted upon tariff revision? Not the
manufacturers, the tumbermen. not
the iron or steel men, not the oil men.
During the whole agitation l never
heard of demand from these people
that the tariff be revised. The demand
came from those who believed they
were paying too much for the things
they had to buy.
81 have heard it said in conversa-
ton that there are few people inter-
ested in the reduction of duties. I
know those who are clamoring for an
increase of duties are more distinctly
heard in the committee rooms, but the
time will come when the clamor OF
millions who want relief will sound
like the roar of a thousand Niagara's.
The people, it is true. have not the

HEDGE
ON TARIFF
Special to The Record.

Special to The Record.
Washington, May 6.-That it Is on
ly a matter Of time until President
Taft will be forced by public opinion
to withdraw his support and coopera-
tion from the Aldrich- -Dalzell-C Cannon
faction of his party-a step of such
political magnitude as would discour
age the most courageous-is the con-
viction that appears to be growing on
close observers.
If he does not take such action his
real friends are beginning to fear that
the anti-protection sentiment of the
country which seems to be gradually
closing in the ring OF politicians OF
the AldTich type. will injure the pre-
sident politically; at least, in all Sec
tions Of the country, save possibly
the New England states.
The signs OF the time are unInis-
taxable to those willing to acknowl-
edge that such thing as a change
in sentiment is possible. So far there
has been little effort to censure Pre-
sident Taft for the iniquitoals tariff
tbdlls. The fire OF the best element of
the Republican press has been cen
tered at Aldrich and his following
who are responsible for the measure.
Criticism has been withheld from the
position OF the President in the hope
he would make his views of a more
definite character. But as the days
pass and the President makes no ex
preston of protest against the work
ing methods of the Aidrich faction
the Republican editors are becoming
restless. 1t is only a question of time
now until the President will be char
ged by the progressive element o1
his party with being reactionary un
less he makes 1t plain he does moi
have common sympathy with the
motives acsuating Senator Aldrich
Dalzeii OF Pennsylvania and Cannon
