Livingston County Farmers View o
Alfalfa.

The production of alfalfa was con
sidered at some length at the Livings
ton county farmers institute and W,
believe our readers will be pleased t.
know something of what was said
From the Howell Republican We take
the following:
ut was easily seen that alfalfa and
everything pertaining thereto had the
right of way over any other subject
that came up for discussion at the in.
stitute. Prof G. B. Smith, who is an
authority on alfalfa, was slated to talk
on alfalfa Culture" but he failed 70
appear and those interested, about all
who attended the afternoon meeting,
would not be denied and called for
Frank Hacker. Mr.. Hacker is sue
cessful and enthusiastic believer in al
falfa as the perfect ration. He is also
something of q humorist and not only
gave his experience with evident de.
light but also gave genuine pleasure to
the large audience. MIR. Hacker is one
of our best known and best liked
farmers, who. while admitting that
there may be some virtue in CONNER
cial fertilizers and inocculation, be-
lieves in a strong and thorough mixture
of horse sense, He had no particular
system or plan to advocate and did not
come to tell others how to raise alfalfa,
but to those who care to listen be was
glad to tell how he raised it. The fol
lowing are points taken from his re-
marks: II began raising alfalfa under
Grover Cleveland, starting with three
acres. followed newspaper directions,
incubation and all, and was not very
successful. Since then, have follow
ed out my own ideas in the matter and
am we'll satiafed. shall cut from ~
acres this year and put in 90 more next.
If you are thinking of trying to raise
alfalfa, don't follow newspaper advice;
ask your neighbor, who knows. We
prepare soil early in August and SOW
during dog days, Is pounds to acre of
tested seed. Alfalfa is a deep rooted
plant, not affected by frost, and can be
used in silo cheaper than corn, being
at the same time richer food Alfal-
ia is the best balanced ration that
know of and we have fed no grain to
our cattle in three years. Last year we
cut the hay from ID acres of alfalfa and
put up IS acres of corn silage. We
have been feeding alfalfa twice a day,
the silage once, and the two rations
will come out about even. None of our
stock will touch other food as long as
alfalfa is within reach and l shall not
be surprised in time to have the stalks
served up to me in the form of break
fast food. Really, it's better than
candy" In the discussion that follow
ed, Frank Crandall touched upon com
mercial fertilizers and incubation,
stating that in general both were
waste of time and money, citing his
own experience. He considered that
alfalfa had come to be one of the most
valuable assets of the farm. Paul Rose
and A. b Cook promptly maintained
their faith and need in commercial
fertilizers and Mr.. Cook even went 90
far as to say, that 1t was possible to get
along without stock on the farm"

OhiO's Governor
Answers Golf

During a tWo-days speech in the
United States senate in opposition to
the passage OF the Kern resolution,
Senator Golf became embroiled with
numerous senators of other states by
comparing industrial conditions in
West Virginia with those in other COM
monwealths. Whenever the senile Golf
insisted that West Virginia compared
fovorably with some other state, in
varably a senator from the state thusly
libeled arose in his dignity and hotly
resented the SANDER.
In the course of his remarks Gofl
attempted to point moral by using
the Cincinnati street car strike as
horrible example. The governor who
will not call for the power Of the state
if civil courts are not able to keep the
peace" said he, is not worthy of the
name of governor. If the governor of
Ohio would take a lesson from the
governor of West Virginia concerning
this situation where strife has prevail
ed and insurrection in fact exists, and
issue his martial-law orders there
would be peace in the great city in the
valley of Ohio"
Colts advice that he should follow
Hatfeld'S example so enraged Cover
nor Cox, of Ohio, that he answers the
senator in a.sizzling letter which has
been incorporated in the Congression
al record. After pointing to the fact
that when the Traction Corporation
of Cincinnati found that he would not
frrRish them the state soldiery to be
used as strike breakers, it settled the
difficulty with its employees, Govern
OF Cox pays his respects to Golf and
the state from which he halls, in the
following scathine arrangement:
This was in marked contrast to
the scenes so familiar to the senator
from West Virginia that one can easily
understand his resentment against
civilized aud humane industrial con-
dition that might sweep eastward over
the Ohio river and wipe out situa
ton that has been disgrace to the
republic for 20 years.
In Ohio we court the intelligent
criticism of our sister states, but we
looked with pity rather than resent
ment upon the lamentations of one
whose political and industrial stan
dards grew out OF condition hade ab
horrent in memory by the brutal
tyranny of government over human
rights"

REBELLION.
(By Covington Hall.)

(By CONlnStOn Ilall.)
Rebellion comes, hopes sacred fire,
To Freedoms son from Freedom S
sire;
A soul-breath SWOrdSmen cannot kill,
Nor gold. nor cross, nor rifle still.
With Lucifer it marched on God
And broke Jehovah's scourging rod:
It stood with Christ in Pilates hall
And doomed the Caesars to their
fall.
II sent Gautama on his quest,
Him Asia calls her light and blest:
With Quetzaeoatl, long ago,
1t stirred the heart of Mexico.
With Moses it for freedom sought;
With wild Mahomet. too, it fought;
It gave Zoroaster all his fame.
Confucius his deathless name.
With Cromwell's leeions, grim and cold
1t trampled Oh the statutes old;
With VoItairc. Murat and St. Just,
1t ragged till Europe rose from dust
1t called Abe Lincoln from the plains,
Set Marx and Ferrer breaking
chains,
And lowered DER The Commune when
1t fred the souls of workinGmen.
It's that which stirs the race today
'Tis that which makes truths light

'Tis Revolution in it's birth
The soul Of FreedOm-the light Of

Dear Comrade:--
Your communication of the 25th

been carefully read. Iregret that your
members should censure me in my
absence and without a hearing and /
regrot this all the more because this
has been done, presumably, upon
evidence furnished by Capitalist news
papers.
Since our Committee has been in

made to turn DIR members against us
and to create ascension in our ranks
by circulating reports that are either
totally untrue or are but half truths
which are at times even more mis-
chevious than downright lies.

could even be tortured into that fol
which you have passed censure upon
lie, and / think your memberS>should
know me we'll enough to know that
would be incapable Of such betrayal
of a trust by my Comrades as | all
seemingly charged with.
A deliberate falsehood was sent out
from here in reference to what l said
after our interview with Governor
Hatfield and am satisfied that its
purpose was just. such as it reported
in your communication, viz, the turn
ing ofou members against us and
their loss of confidence in us because
of our alleged BETRAYAL of our trust iH
siding with the enemies of our fellow
workers. That any member could en-,
terrain such an unwarranted charge
against US in such light regard, is in,
deed matter of pain as well as sur,
prise to me.
Yours fraternally,

Following their last day of investi

doubt that the federal constitution was
set aside in the coal regions. The
fundamentalrights of citizenship were
denied, papers were suppressed, ant
postal laws ignored. Under the guise
of law and order. the military anC

ORDER 100000
WORTH OF RAILS

The Hartman lines have placed
an order for 10000 tons of steel
rails with the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Company. The price is approximate
ly 100000.
Only short time ago the Hill
lines placed an order for 10000 tons
of steel rails with the Colorado Fuel
K Iron Company, being the largest
portion of 50,000-ton order. The
Hartman lines order is for $4,000
tons also, $4,000 tons going to the
Tennessee Coal K Iron Company.
This big order of rails means that
the mills at Pueblo will be kept run
ming at practically their full capac-
ity day and night.
The total payment by the two lines
for rails in the last two months will
reach s1,S00,000.
These two big orders are taken by
railroad men to mean that both the
Hartman and Hill lines are to be
kept up in as fine physical condi-
tion as possible, and are regarded as
move toward the transcontinental
roads being in first-class condition for
the tremendous traffic that will re-
suit from the Panama exposition in
San Francisco in 1915.

DIRECTOR OF MINT
MAKES HIS REPORT
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Washington, Apr. 22.-The report
of George L. Roberts, director of the
mint, Just issued, gives an extensive
review of the production and distri-
button of gold during the 81 years
beginning with 1890 and ending with
1910. These years cover the period
of what has been called the new
golden era, beginning with the dis
covery of the Transyaal gold field
and of the cyanide process of extrac-
ton.
The gold production is shown to
mount steadily upward, save for the
interruption caused by the Boer war,
from 100000 in 1890 to $454,-
600, 900 in 1910. The review then
undertakes to trace these new sup
plies of gold into use, showing the
estimated consumption in the indus
trial arts, the absorption of Asia, the
amounts taken by new and develop
ing countries, and finally the amounts
that have entered into the bank re-
serves of the important commercial
countries.
The 81 years are divided into two
periods, the first of 10 years (lS90-
1899 and the second of IL years
(100-1910).
The production in the first period
is estimated at S1,960, 100000 and
during the second period OF IL years
the production amounted to Si,037,-
100000.
