When Various Pastures
Are Ready for Animals

Red clover alone or mixed with
alsike will be ready to pasture in
six to twelve months, will furnish
pasture for four or five months and
will carry ten to twelve hogs per
acre.
Sweet clover may be sown alone
or with rape or other clovers in
March or April. As with alfalfa,
it requires a sweet soil. Sweet
clover will be ready to pasture
some the first year about July L.
The second season it will be ready
near the first of April and will
furnish pasture for four to six
months. About ten to fifteen head
of hogs with some cattle may be
fed on each acre.
Sudan grass will furnish an
abundance of feed in five to seven
weeks after sown. 1t may be sown
broadcast or with a drill from May
to July Is at the rate of ten to
twenty pounds an acre. 1t will
furnish forage for three to four
months and will carry fifteen to
twenty head of hogs an acre.

Composition of Wheat
and Rye Very Similar

The chemical composition and
the general characteristics of
wheat and rye are very similar so
that they might be expected to
give about the same results when
fed in the same stations, however.
indicate that rye instead of being
more valuable than wheat is in
reality about per cent less valu-
BILE. This difference in feeding
value of wheat and rye is thought
in a measure at least to be due to
the fact that rye is less palatable.
The Minnesota station has re-
Gently been working on the prob
lem in an attempt to find out what
factors cause rye to be an unsat-
isfactory feed when it is fed as
the greater part of the ration over
a period of several weeks or
months. Efforts to discover some
feed combinations that will be eff
ficient for dry lot conditions have
been partially successful while
quite satisfactory results have been
obtained by feeding rye combined
with other grains upon pasture.

to watch the snake man as he made

commanded the Arab to come for

but the Arab still was afraid, so,
to show the snake was harmless,
the charmer allowed it to coil affec-
tionately about his arms and shoul-

struck up a wild tune, and the
snake man chanted and danced

SMUCCLE ALIENS TO U. S. BY AIR

interior of Mexico and perhaps
more than 100 miles In the United
States from the Rio Grande. An
investigation which was recently
made Of the border towns of Texas
showed no evidence that they are
being made stopping places for
aliens. 1t was pointed out by bor-
der immigration officials that it
would be easily possible for these
unlawful airplane passengers to get
far into the interior of the United
States within a few hours after
leaving Mexico and thus lessen the
chances of their being detected.
According to Fl. c. Horsley, chief
of the immigration border patrol
in the Ell Paso district, certain
knowledge has been obtained by
him that there are at least four
places in Juarez where aliens can
obtain passage into the United
States by airplane. 1t is probable
that there are several times that
number of alien agencies in Mexi-
can border towns, he declared.
Similar arrangements can be made
in the interior cities of Mexico.
Many Mysterious Planes.
Many mysterious airplanes cross
the international border daily.
Most of them fly so high that their
presence is detected only by the
faint noise that they make. 1t is
estimated that no less than fifty
airplanes travel daily to and fro
across the border between Ell Paso
and Brownsville. They do not fol-
low the routes of the regular air
transport lines, and they are so
high from the earth that they can
not be identified. Evidence has
been obtained by the immigration
authorities that the usual charge
for delivering a Chinese or other
alien into the United States is
$1,000 and that of this sum the air
plane pilot receives 5000.
Mr.. Horsley has been conducting
an investigation of the airplane
smuggling traffic for the last sew
eral months. He declared that
most of the unknown planes when
they cross the border in the vicin-
ity Of Ell Paso are headed toward
central New Mexico and the ranch
region of northwest Texas. He
said that the only way that this
kind of smuggling can be combat
ted is by the employment by the
immigration bureau of a fleet of

by the recent earthquake are sift-

Area Equal to Indiana.
"Oaxaca is the capital and COM
mercial center of a Mexican state
about equal in area to the state Of
Indiana. The city is connected by
railway with Mexico City, and by
numerous roads and trails with
hundreds of villages and hamlets in
it's own state. A mile above sea
level, the city of Oaxaca is, never
theless, entirely surrounded by hills
and mountains.
"The city of Oaxaca has only
about 10000 inhabitants, but the
state it governs is estimated to con-
tain almost a million people, most
of them Indians of the Mixtec and
Zapotec tribes, living in towns
whose names, many of them, are
not to be found on any map.
"The Mixtec and Zapotic Indians
are among the most distinctive in
North America. Their eyes have a
distinct oriental slant, leading to
the belief that their forbears were

Federal Authorities Get
Evidence of Traffic
Across Border.

Eagle Pass Texas.-Positive evil
dence has been obtained by United
States immigration authorities on
the Rio Grande border that large
traffic in aliens is being carried on
along the international line by
means of airplanes. The Mexican
government has been requested to
investigate the situation on that
side of the border, particularly
with reference to the secret land
ing fields which are used as the
bases for the nefarious airplane
service. The United States immi-
grafton bureau has also been asked
to establish an air patrol of the
border for the purpose of guarding
1t against the unlawful entry of
aliens and to prevent other kinds
of smuggling.
There are isolated and practical
ly unguarded stretches of the Rio
Grande which afford airplane SNUG
glers as well as smugglers who
travel by land favorable opportu-
mites for bringing across their IL
licit cargoes almost at will. Some
of these unprotected sections of
the border are 100 miles long and
are patroiled by mounted inspec-
tors at intervals of only every two
or three days.
Plane Bases Unknown.
The airplane bases Of the snug
glers are believed to be far in the
