HAVH WE IIEKN BI NCOEO AGAIN
Tbe recent decision in the case cl
the National Life Insurance Co., vs
Loup City township, is calculated to
arouse suspicion in the minds of the
average taxpayer as to whither there
ever was anv merit in our case or
whither it was a petite presentment
of distorted facts for tlia collection
of a fee. Very suddenly after the
sale of the bonds in guest, it was
announced tlial the B. iV M. railroad
company had concluded to take ad
vantage of a real or imaginary
technicality that existed to defeat
the collection of the taxes with
which to pay those coupons, or at
least the part which was assessed
against said company, and by the
V representations of Mr. Kelby, a re
cognized B. & M. attorney, a d our
local attorney Mr. II. M. Mathew,
the township board called a meeting
of tbe citizens, at. which time the
ease as laid down by the aforsaid
attorneys, was order- d to be defend- j
cd ami the said attorneys were em
ployed ut :i stipulated price of J?i.r»0
for each term of court in which they
were engaged on the case. At the
second presentation of tea case in
court the township was defeated and
the coupons sued upon went tnjmlg
ment. Now hi: are informed by
ttie local attorney that the township
still has a good defense us the coun
ty should have been sued instead
of tbs township, as the county
officers were the parties who issued
the bonds consequently must be tke
parties sued. The question arises,
what benefit it would bo to us to go
into court. If we did get a decision
to the etiect that the county aud not
ihe township were the proper parties
to have been sued, and after we have
paid our money to establish the fact,
the county is sued and judgment
rendered against it, which is bound
to be the case, then the supervisors
very praperly*levy a tax against the
township to pay the bill. We have
^ paid our m*t>ey to establish a tech
nical point of law, the attorneys are
very glad to have a decision on that
particular point and we, poor fools,
have footed the bill. The debt is as
honest oue, it we have teceived very
little benefit from it, and Sherman
county should not pav it, and from
our point of view we don’t think that
any more attorneys ribs should be
fattened to find out that we have got
to pay it, for that is a forgone
conclusion. If our deductions are
eroneous our columns are open for
correction and at th* disposal ol
those who are better informed.
Some of the leaders of the Fttsion
ist wing of the populist party declare
that if harmony cannot be had be
tween the populist and democratic
party, that Bryan will be forced to
gel up, ard support a new reform
movement. This little speech is
only calculated to pave the way in
getting up a new issue to enable
Bryan to get upon the stump again
and talk to the multitudes whi.e his
hired man takes in the gate receipts.
Another new issue will make Bryan
a millionaire.
It has been iatelv proven that
Tubal Cain was not the lirsl black
smith. The University of Pennsjl
vania have found, in their research
es near Nmev&h, a full fledged
smithy which they claim existed
4,750 years before old Tubal ham
mered iron. They also found many
day tablets with inscriptions there
on which showed that the smithy s
name was llamjau._
The pop leaders are rapidly be
coming plutocrats. Bryan has at
last become one of the wealthiest
men in Nebraska. Pettigrew of
South Dakota has recently raked in
$-25,090 on land deals and several
times that amount in deals in \\ all
streetduring the recent railway storks
l> >om. To woe lute of Minnesota, has
gone to New York to join a Texas oil
octopus and will no doubt soon be
wealthy. They kick on wealth of
} other people, but are very glad to
p le it up themselves, such is life
..ml politics.—Sterling Sun.
\V 11K N TO i TIT AITAl.f A
Tile following bulletin, issued re
cently from the experiment station
j of the Kansas Farm 1'epartraent, at
Manhattan, will prove of interest to
all growers of alfalfa in this part of
the state. It reads as follows:
Alfalfa stisuld lie cut when not
more than one-tenth of tlie plants
have come in bloom. Cut at this
early stage, the yield of hay for the
season will be much greater than if
t-hft alfalfa is cut near maturity, and
every pound «f hay secured will be
worth more for fead.
At the Kansas Experiment Station
a strip through a Held <d‘ alfalfa was
cut wbsu one tenth wa* in bloom,
another strip was cut after full bloom
had pas sed. The strip cut early was
nearly ready to cut the second time
when that cut after full bloom was
being harvested the iir«L time. The
strip cut eatly grew vigorously
through the season and made three
ciilt'Bgs and a good aftermath. The
strip cut after full bloom gave a low
yield the lirst cutting and did not
grow sutlicientlv to yield a good sec
ond cutting. Early cuttings seem to
invigorate the plant.
The late cutting of the first crop
set ms to injure the plant more than
at any other time, usd we have found
it profitable to cut alfalfa the first
time as soon us one-tenth was iu
bloom, et. n though the weather was
bad and we knew itie crop would
spoil in curing. The increased yield
from succeeding autfings over that
cut late much more than makes up
for tho loss of the first crop.
Successful clover growers, the first
time they try alfalfa, often ruin the
stand, so tkut it lias 'O be plowed
up, by waitiug to cut until it reach's
the stage at which clover is usually
cut.
The great value of alfalfa is tin
large amount of protein it contains,
that material in fe.yi that is absolute
ly necessary for the formation of
blood, lean meat and milk. The
higher the protein in alfalfa, the
more valuable the crop. The Chemi
cal Department of this Station found
the effect of cutting alfalfa at differ
eut stages, as follows:
Protein
One tenth in bloom ; - 5 i>er ceni
One half in bloom . It.I “
In full bloom.. . Ill"
The Colorado Ksperimci.' State n
found the effect of cutting alfalfa as
follows:
Protein
Coming in bloom is.5 per cent
Half in bloom .14.6 •
In full bloom_ . . . 12.9 “
The Utah Experiment Station for
live years cut alfalfa at different
stages of maturity and fed Hie crop
in producing beef. The average pro
duction per year per acre was as
follows:
Hay Heef
tons pounds
111 Mrst bloom. 5.35 706
In full bloom.. 4.80 502
Half blooms fallen. 4.55 190 |
These experiments made in three
status-Kansas, Colorado and Utah -
prove that alfalfa cut in the fir*t
bloom will give the greatest yield
and feeding value. The leaves of
alfalfa costaios more than three times
as much protein as the steins, a ton
of alfalfa leaves containing as much
protein as 2800 pounds of br. u,
Even care should be taken in fin
ing alfaifa to save the hay. — Daw
