There promises to be a real lively

for the job of secretary of the senate.
There are four candidates already in
the race and they are making things
hum trying to land the job. Being
secretary of the senate is one of the
real good jobs of the legislature. The
pay is usually $1,000 for the session.
This includes making UP the index of
the senate journal and reading the
proof of the book. This is quite a lit
tie job of course, but usually the
work is completed in month or six
weeks after the session adjourns and
that means between 5000 and $3.50 a
month for the work. Also. there is a
lot of prominence and publicity in the
work.

/ WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 1S.-By
pasturing irrigated alfalfa pastures
with hogs, the superintendent of the
huntley (Montana) Reclamation Pro-
iect Experiment Farm reports that he
got returns in 1915 at the rate Of SIS
to $8S per acre. This estimated re-
tun, he figures, is equivalent to S10.84
per ton, 3n the farm, for the hay crop
which was harvested and consumed by
the hogs.
In discussing TINS experiment, in
q report of the work Of that farm for
1915, just issued by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, he says in
part:
This rotation consisted of corn,
flax, beets and three years of alfalfa.
The third year alfalfa and the corn
are harvested by hogs, the object of
this experiment being to ascertain the
value Of alfalfa and corn crops when
so harvested.
"The alfalfa pasturing experiment
was divided into two periods; April
10 July. or the spring period, and July
t. September. or the sumner period,
The plat used was divided into two
equal portions and the hogs were pas
tured alternately for 10 days at time
on each part. This allows for more
uniform growth and convenience in II
rigating In addition to the pasture,
the hogs were given supplementary
ration Of pounds Of corn per da@
per 100 pounds live weight.
On April "A five high-grade Duroc-
jersey hogs weighing 789 pounds were
placed on the alfalfa plat. On May
"a it was found necessary to remove
one hog, a. the supply Of feed was in
adequate. The remaining four hogs
we're taken off July Il, and on the
same date eight pUre-bred Duroc-Jer-
scy shoate were placed on the plat.
These shoats, having a total initial
eight Of 302 pounds, remained on the
pastlre until September y.
During the two periods G19 pounds
cf pork were produced. The corn con
sumed during the season amounted to
l949 pounds. Estimating the value Of
the pork at I cents per pound gives a
total return from the plat Of $43.33.
The value Of the corn fed, estimated
as worth $1.25 per 100 pounds, was
$2b.2G. This leaves a net return from
the alfalfa crop Of $I8.07 for the plat,
which is at the rate Of $75.88 per acre,
as compared with a net return Of
SIC 50 from similar experiment con-
