At the annual Otero county tax

Tho Lecture

The third number on the Ord way
Lyceum Course was given last Mon
day evening. December 20. Judge Geo.
D. Alden Of Boston, was the speaker
aud was greeted by large and enthu-
siastic audience.
Judge Alden's subject was "The
Needs Uf the Hour" and he interpret
ed these needs as being return to the
principles of strict honesty, the ten
der conscience aud true piety OF the
Pilgrim Fathers OF whom he Is u
lineal descendant. He discussed
graft as the great sin Of the nation
but he denounced 1t in the "hOrny
handed 500 OF toll" as much as Id the
king Of oil. He considered John d.
Rockefeller the most perfect blossom
on the tree of graft but he described
the small boy who drove close bar
gain and pockcted the "rake-off" as
an insignificant bud OF the same spe-
cies stretching its feeble strength
toward the same development.
He said the condition which threat
ems to shake the foundation OF this
great common wealth lies not alone in
the fact that the farmers water their
milk

zone Of the best parts Of his lec-
ture was the original verses with
which it was interspersed, hitting
our weaknesses, but dulling the
blow with the sweetness Of his song"
Judge Alden says he uses his verses
not because he still has poetic alnb
tions but as reformer, he believes
the truth may be made more impress
sive in rhyme, and verify so it
seemed.
He Is wise and discerning, broad
minded and eloquent, and "he had
the audacity to recommend h e
Almighty God to the people" The
lecture contained much food for
thought and must have inspired
everyone who heard 1t, in some de-
gree at least, to higher and nobler
plane OF living.

Feeding Sorghum

A good many people down In the
dry belt have this year grown II
pretty good crop OF sorghum and u
subscriber down In OterO county
wants to know II he can readily feed
this with alfalfa hay which he can
buy at Sc SO In the stack. The sor-
ghum and the alfalfa tend to balance
each other. For the cows In heavy
flow OF milk We would give about all
the third cutting they would eat dur
ing the day with a feed OF sorghum
hay a. night. For the grain ration
we would feed the chop and bran half
and half. With an abundance OF al.
fa!fa hay and sorghum we cannot
afford to feed so much grain as II
alfalfa was more expensive and the
grim cheaper. 1t Is good plan to
stedy the individual cows and to
th6se giving a heavier flow Of milk

out doubt have an increased acreage
for the coming season.
We believe every farmer in this
part OF the valley should be interest
ed more or less in this subject. Di-
vcrsited farming has been the lie
and prosperity OF all agricultural
communities.
Our valley is surely large enough
for all purposes. We can grow enough
cantaloupes for the entire East,
enough grain for all home consumr-
tion, enough hay for the largest
alfalfa mill on earth, and enough
sugar bcets for the factory in our
midst.
Four years ago sugar bcets were in
a jam at all loading stations. The
hay delivery is now growing to the
same dimensions. Cantaloupe acreage
is growing larger. Why not each and
every farmer grow u small acreage Of
beets?
The factory has the best contract
before the farmers they have ever
had and summed up means $3.50 per
ton, with an early silo clause and privi-
lege OF dumping on the ground in
case OF car shortage, with Il fair and
equitable tare. In the fall of 1910. land
1t will no doubt be the same during
the next year, there was no waiting
at loading stations and the largest
crops we're all delivered 10 30 days.
The contracts are now in the
hands of Mr.. Bashor, the coiupany'S
representative at Ordway and Numa
where the farmers can see them and
sign up for 1911.

that worry my fat head will then all

land; there are 50 many, many things.
we do not understand. Oh, why is
Virtue oft oppressed, and scourRed
and beaten down, while Vice with
"ems of East and West, is Haunting
through the town? And why Is
childhood's face with tears Of sorrow
often stained? When have reached
the shining spheres, these things will
be explained. Why does poor man
70 to jail, because he steals trout,
while wealthy men who steal u whale
quite easily stay out? Why does afflic-
ton dog the man who earns two bones
day, who, though he tries the best
he can, can't drive the wolf away?
Why does the weary woman sew. to
earn a pauper's gain, while scores Of
wealthy spendthrifts blow their
wealth for dry champagne? Why do
we send the shining buck to heather
