Prejudice Against Goats.

There is a. deepsseated. prejudice
against the use Of goats of any: kind
for meat This is founded, however,
rather upon ignorance than expert
ence. The most ill-smelling billy of
the worst possible type is, by many
made the standard Of goat. meat for
the whole, Of the goat family. AS far
back as 'Abraham'c day we read of
goats being used for meat very like
ly Angoras and this, too, when there
We're many cattle and sheep.

Alfalfa as .Hou Pasture.

One of the greatest advantages. OF
alfalfa as hog pasture Is the fact
that it affords a freshtgrowth through.
out the grazing season. The; pasture
should be. moved at. least three times;
each season, thus taking OF all the
matnred stems and giving opportunity
for the sending up Of a new tender
growth, although in this country the
Job is seldom done;a 1t is~the new,
fresh growth that makes alfaha pas

and SO highly. satisfactory as a flesh

CONDUCT DRY FARM.
Scientific Methods as Practiced
in California for Years.

Two Portions, on one-HaIf Rails.
ing Crops, other Half Being
Summer FalIowed.

The system of dry farming methods
recommended for the arid states
Is that which has been successfully
practiced on the Pacific coast for
more than generation, with such
notifications as are adapted to diff
ferent conditions of soil, climate and
rainfall The farmer simply divides
his land into two portions, on one
half raising crops, the other half be-
ing summer fallowed. BY this meth
cd, which is easily understood and
carried out, the farmer has a long
season instead of a short one and
drives his work instead of being
driven by it. Crops are produced
by this method when the seasons are
raised with one blowing, one seeding,
several civilizations, practically two
years moisture and one harvesting
The blowing must be deep. The
plan recommended is to plow old
ground eight OF. nine inches deep. 1t
is always better to pillow in the fall
where possible, in order that the
ground may absorb the winters moist
ure, the sod becoming decomposed
and the soil sufficiently compacted to
form good seed bed for spring plant
ing.
All spring and summer blowing
should be thoroughly narrowed the
same day it is plowed. If possible
harrow land drill as welD ,diagonally
or at right angles to the way in which
the winds blow. The object in doing
this is to prevent the land from
drifting; to hold the snow which falls

 ON NEED OF CONSERVATION
Those Who Develop Resources Should
 Be Subject to Regulation.

Cincinnati. Ohio. Nov. 16.-ln an address tonight before the joint con- vention of the National Municipal League and the American Civic as- sociation, James H. Garfield. former secretary of the interior. said:
 The permanent welfare cf our Da- ton cannot be assured unless we. in this generation. provide for the con- servation of our natural resources. Hitherto we have been needlessly wasteful. We have been too much occupied with the present; too little with the future. An inventory of our resources shows an immediate danger of their depletion or exhaus- tion.
 Conservation is pre-eminently q movement for the public yel'a"e. EN- actIy as the railroads are regulated because they are public utilities. SD must the interests that develop our natural resources be regulated. be- cause they deal with pubic Int"restS The monopolizatioE of either is in- tolerabie.
