Horscbuyers Here

Quite number of the horse
men of this vicinity have been
in town yesterday and today for
the purpose of showing horses TO
representatives of the French and
Italian governments. About Is
head were disposed of to the
French representatives who are
paying $l25 a round. AS many
mvre were purchased by Art
Meeks Of Miles City, who was
buying for the Italian govern
ment, these horses going from
SIS to $1O0.
1t is likely that more horses
would have been brought in had
it not been for the fact that there
was some confusion as to the
days when the buyers would be
here. In the announcement in
The Eagle last week the dates
were changed twice while the
paper was on the press.
The party went to Camp Crock
this afternoon and will return tc
Ekalaka Monday where they
will remain for the day and
horses may be shown again on
that date.
S. J. Emswiler. U. S. Commits
sioner, expects to be absent from
his office on a trip to Miles City,
leaving Sunday, April 25th, and
returning Friday night or Satur-
day morning. All those having
land business to transact should
wait until Saturday, May 1st.

of alfalfa is that it will not do
we'll on lands that are poorly
drained. It is a waste Of time,
seed and money to attempt to
grow alfalfa on poorly or partly
drained land.
When an alfalfa field for any
reason becomes a light yielder.
producing to / 1-2 tons per acre
on irrigated land, it is time to
plow it up, or make some change
whereby that yield can be in
creased to 3 or a tons per acre.
This reduction in yield may be
due to several reasons, "a poor
stand badly infested with weeds,
lack of humus in heavy soils, or
possibly the field has been seed
ed a long time and grazed hcavi-
ly, which has gradually killed out
the plants. Where any of the
above conditions exist it will pay
a man to plow up the field and
prepare it for a new stand by
adding manure and using crops
that require clean tillage to clean
up the land.
The amount Of seed required
per acre will vary somewhat, de-
pending upon the soil, nature of
the crop, and the seed bed; but
ordinarily from 8 to 10 pounds is
sufficient where a good quality of
seed is used. When you stop to
think that there are 231, 900 seeds
in pound, you can readily esti-
mate how many plants per square
foot you will have at the rate of
one pound per acre. Multiply
that by ten and you will have
somewhere in the neighborhood
of 40 or SO with an average quail
ity of seed. j. C. Taylor, Custer
County Agriculturist.

An Estray Defined

The law in Montana has never
been explicit as to just what an
estray animal is, but Asbridge's
senate bill, passed by the last
legislature, gives a fairly corr
else definition of an estray in the
eye of the law. In response to
many inquiries, this portion of
the bill is quoted:
Sec. 5. An estray within the
meaning of this Act shall be any
horse, mule, mare, gelding, colt
over one year old, COW, OK, bull,
stag, steer, heifer or calf over
one year old, not bearing a brand
and the ownership of which can
not be determined by the stock
inspector of the district wherein
such animal may be found by in
quiry among reputable resident
stock owners or free holders
therein; or anv such animals
bearing a recorded brand but
the owner Of which brand cannot
be located at or through the
postoffice designated upon the
records Of the Recorder Of Marks
and Brands, or which owner can
not be located by the stock in
spector Of the district where
such estrav is found by inquiry
among reputable resident stock
owners or freeholders THEREIN;
or any of the animals above e.
numurated which bears an unre-
corded brand, the owner Of
which unrecorded brand cannot
be ascertained by the stock in
spector of the district wherein
said animal is found by inquiry
among reputable resident stock
owners or freehoIders therein.
The law also provides that such
animals shall be taken up by the
stock inspector and held by him
for a period of not less than 80
days nor more than 60 days, dur
ing which time the fact that such
estray is being held shall be adj
vertised in the official county pa
per for four issues. Unless the
animal is claimed by the owner
during this time the inspector
shall sell such estray to the high
est bidder for cash.
The proceeds OF the sale. after
all cost has been deducted, are
held in trust by the State Board
Of Stock Commissioners for a per
iod of two years, during which,
time the net sum is subject to
the claim of the owner of the es-
tray so sold.

Hints on Alfalfa Growing

Alfalfa, the queen of legu1nes,
is rapidly gaining a place in the
crop rotation system of every
we'll managed farm. The man
who has plenty of water for irri-
cation purposes or has sub-irri-
gated areas such as creek bot
toms or where overf1oWs occur
need not worry about his winters
feed. Usually he secures from 3
to 1 tons per acre on medium
aged fields, say fields that have
been cut three or four seasons.
Sometimes weeds give trouble
on irrigated land and materially
lessen the yield. Oftentimes DAN
delions become so bad that they
kill out SO per cent Of the alfalfa
stand. In this case, where the
field is badly infested, the only
remedy is to plow up and grow a
grain or cultivated crop, prefer
ably the latter, a couple of sea-
sons. Rotation of crops which
necessitate cultivation seems to
be the most successful system
for checking dande|ions. In bad
ly infested areas | have seen
them take a good stand If alfalfa
in two years, so it was necessary
to plow up and reseed before a
profitable yield could be secured
again.
Alfalfa likes a rich, loamy soil,
either a sandy or silt clay loan
with plenty of humus or decay
ing vegetable material. In many
of the heavier types Of soil such
as clays and gumbo. particularly
the latter, humus is lacking. This
can be supplied by a generous
application of barnyard manure
or by ploWing under some green
manure crop such as sweet clover
or fall rye. Men who have these
heavier types of land know they
secure the best yields of alfalfa
where they have manured heavi-
Iv. This is followed by top dress
ing every year, which serves to
increase the friability of these
soils.

The Cubs probably will be sold

preliminary to Ackerland's becoming
president OF the Cincinnati Reds

Herman was based on reports COM
ing from Cincinnati to the effect that
the Fleischmann, interests which con.
troll the Reds are dissatisfied with. the
conduct of the club under Hermann
and that they have demanded that
Hermann put up 100000 In the near

BITTER MORRIS
IN HAVEN SUIT

NEW YORK. Oct. 17.-violsnt
clashes and acrimonious debate be-
tween the government attorneys and
counsel for the millionaire New
Haven directors became more frequent

former president OF the New Haven
railway resumed his story Of how the

England.
The frequent. raids on the govern
ment's line Of examination were lead
by the dashing r. v. Lindabury ap-
pearing for William Rockefeller and
he was ably backed By the courtly
John G. Milburn and the coldly In
cisive Delaney Nicoll

on the jury when he took up the
cudgels in behalf Of Mellen supposedly

manipulators when Frank w. Swacker,

Haven board OF directors concerning
the tripartite agreement that succeed
ed in shutting out Of New York the
New York and New England railway.
This according to the government was
the beginning of the New Haven swal-
lowing up of all its rivals In New
England
When Mellen resumed the stand this
morning the government introduced
the famous "Corsair agreement" of
1893 authorizing the arrangement be-
tween the New Haven and the Boston
& Maine railway which was ratified
March IL, 1893 1t was called the
"Corsair agreement" because it was
drawn up at a conference Of New
Haven directors aboard the Corsair,
the late J. P. Morgan's yacht.
Lindabury objected strenuously to
Swacker's calling the agreement the
"Corsalr agreement"

There was later agreement made
on the Corsir," Mellen interposed. but

Mellen identified the document say
ing he recognized the signatures of
President Clark of the New Haven
