A NEW ALFALFA FOR AMERICA,

According to the current issue Of
Farm and Fireside, Prof. Niels E. Han
zen, OF BroOkings, S. D., famous au
thority ON horticulture, is ready to
give to the farmers of America the
results of his recent investigations
Of afafa-reSults which will probably
turn out to be worth millions Of dol
lars to American agricultural interest
Following is ON extract from the ar
ticle in Farm and Fireside.
THE agricultural world has waited
Cor several years for results from
Hansen's importatioaS Of oHaltas from
che dry and cold interior Vi Asia Evil
IDENTIFY 1t Is to wait no logger. That
Professor Hansen is now ready to
send out seed in small quantities to
farmers is news Of the greatest in
terest and Importance. To new mem
bers Of the South Dakota State Horti.
cultural Society he is Offering, with
a COPY of the annual report, a hun
dred seeds Of Cossack alfalfa, said to
be worth a dollar. To the man who
win take them and propagate the
plant, they may be worth thousands.
Professor Hansen evidently believ-
es that in the alfafas brought home
by him there ane varieties which will
grow luxuriantly and bear quantities
Of seed, hardy enough to become wild
in all our cold, dry Northwest, and
to bless the farmers clear to the very
northern limits of agriculture His
platform calls for such results.
Think of it! Through one mans
search Of the remotest and widest
portions Of the world, We ane likely
to be endowed with new agriculture.
Those who have seen the soil blowing
from the Cranberry Plains of Manitoba
from fields depleted OF their hmus
by wheat after wheat, and no legume,
can understand the subhmity of the
work which this one agricultural ex-
ploner has apparently done.
"To the farmers OF the Northwest
We recommend the securing OF trial
lots of these plants and seeds. The

MARKET LETTER.

Kansas City Stock Yards, April o..
"A more liberal run Of cattle came
in last week than in recent weeks,
and though the supply was 5000 head
Less than arrivals same week last
year, the market broke 20 to 40 cents
proving that the basis OF the high
range of prices is formed on the
shortage in the supply. Killers will
buy only in a hand to mouth way
when prices are as high as they are
now. Top steers last week sold at
sS55, against top Of $3.50 a year
ago same week, for cattle Just as
good. The run today was estimated
at eight thousand head, but the final
count exceeded ten thousand. The
first estimate might have sold steady
but the situation became murky as
the returns Of arrivals came In, anf
by the time the majority Of two thou

ed, killing grades had settled 10 ten

steers at the top today, $40, and a
load Of lighter steers at $3.50. Chi.

competition on thin cattle permitted
the break to be more prcnOunced
Quarantine steers sold up to $3.50

some sugar mill steers at $40. Op

SUPPLIES FROM THE PLAINS.

William Penn Andersen, travelling
agent Of the Santa Fe railroad, is in
the city to confer with local officials
ON quarantine regulations pertaining
to the movement Of double dipped cat
tie from the coast country Of Texas
including the Kleeburg and King
ranches, which have recently been
placed in the provisional quarantine
area by the bureau OF animal indus
try. Mr.. Anderson says that under
the supervision Of Caesar Kleeburg
the finest system Of watts and pens
for dipping facilities have been con-
structed ON the King ranches in the
coast counties of Texas ever built
anywhere. 1t will be remembered that
1t was experiments conducted on
these ranches that finally settled the
question Of the carrying Of Texas
fever by ticks. This placing OF these
ranches in the provisional free terri
tory and the providing for dipping at
point of origin will do much toward
the final eradication of the tick from
Texas where the work has gone pro
portiOnately more slow than in East
ern, Southern states where the vol
ume Of cattle in commerce was small
er. During the last decade the census
shows a so per cent decrease in range
or pasture cattle raising ranches in
the quarantine area of Texas. Under
the stimulus of progressive quarGu-
tine work performed within the last
year by the cooperation Of state live
stock sanitary officials and the bu-
reau of animal industry, 100000
cows will be kept breeding calves for
which the owner will have an annual
grazing market, where heretofore
most OF the steers had to be kept in
the quarantine area until 4 year old
and then sold for immediate slaugh-
ter. Such surplus will find cheaper
grass and forage crops on the plains
Of Texas and New Mexico, which will
largely become a future supply source
for the final development Of beef cat
tie in long grass pastures and feed
lots in the middle western states.
With the exception Of the season be-
ing about two weeks late in the long
grass pasture district Of Kansas, Mr..
Anderson says conditions were never
better In the. southwest. There has
been an abundance OF moisture and
the grass is growing fine.-DroveTs

CREAMERY BUTTER
SHOULD BE BETTER

During the past few years but little
improvement has been made in the
quality Of creamery butter. This, too
in spite Of the fact that creamery but
ter makers, as a class, have never
before been so well informed regard
ing their work. Never before have
they been able to make use Of as
good machinery and special apparatus
aud never before has a fine quality
OF butter been more eagerly sought
after by the consuming public.
In many instances the quality Of
creamery butter has become poorer in
spite Of the above mentioned improv-
ed conditions. The reason is seep-
ingly found in the gradual change
which has taken place in methods
employed by dairy farmers in dehv-
ering their product to the creameries.
This change has resulted in the ac-
ceptance and use by creamery men
Of a poorer grade Of milk and, more
particularly, a poorer grade Of cream
for butter making. For several years
creameries, as a nGle, received whole
milk only from their patrons, separ-
ating and retaining the cream at the
creamery. With the invention, de-
velopment and distribution Of small
cream separators operated by hand
or other light power, there occurred
a gradual change or drifting away
from the so-called whole milk system.
Under present conditions, a very
large percentage of cream used for
butter making is separated from the
milk ON farms. Many farmers ane net
as yet familiar with the principles of
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1912-04-26

dairy bactericiogyy, and some do not
fully understand how properly to care
for cream separator.
I 1t sometimes happens that separa.
tors are used several times without
being properly cleaned, and in some
instances they are placed and used
in some convenient, but dark and
dirty corner Of the barn. Cream sep
arated under the above mentioled
conditions is brought in contact with
many undesirable bacteria, and bad
flayors are the natural result. 1t fire.
quently happens that cream is not
cooled to a low temperature and prop
erly cared for after it Is separated ON
the farm, and often 1t Is Of uncertain
age when delivered at the creamery.
In some localities competition exis,;
between creameries OF between city
milk contractors and a creamery, and
in order to prevent patrons OF a
creamery leaving 1t for another, or
for a city market, creameries some
times make a practice Of allowing or
compelling their managers TO accept
old cream and milk Of an inferior
quality. 1t Is evident, therefore, that
no material improvement can be
made in the quality 0 creamery but
ter until some improvement is callS-
ed to be made in the care Of milk and
cream on the farm and the condition
Of milk and cream when delivered to
the creamery.
1t is evidently not wholly the lack
Of knowledge ON the part Of the dairy
farmer that is responsible for the con
dition Of his product. It Is more Of
ten due to habitual cane1eSSless and
a failure TO fully realize his respon-
sibility in the matter OF cleanliness,
low temperature and prompt delivery
OF a prishable food product.

stand, for top hogs. The run today
here is 5000 head, market called a
big ten lower at the start, mainly for
the reason that Chicago had sixty
two thousand hogs, too many by TWEEN
ty thousand head for the market to
hold steady theme. Conditions i'm
proved during the session today and
the market started back up the
course again before the close. Top
hogs brought $3.50 today, bulk of
sales having an unusually wide range
because Of the large number Of low
grade Light hogs included, $3.50 to
$7.77 1-2.
Sheep and lambs gained quarter
last week, and the market is higher
today. Failing receipts are the main
reason for the advances. less than
thirty thousand being on sale here
last week, and but nine thousand to
day. Forecasts for the balance OF the
week point TO a fair run Of Texans,
Of which there are none here today,
and a small run Of Colorados, Of
which the run is almost entirely made
up today. That is a proyidential sit
