THE president recognized the- gallant achievement of Fred Funston of Kansas by making .him a brigadier general in the regular service. May Brigadier Gen eral Fred never grow smaller ! Tim bureau of printing and engraving is running overtime in order to supply the nation with postage stamps. This extraordinary increase results from the necessity which tests upon each citizen for telling Mr. McKmley how to run the country , and other countries , for the next four years Brooklyn Eagle. THE new game bill which has passed prohibits quail shooting for a couple o years , makes uiorestringent lawsagainst seining , prevents fishing with tr6ut lines of more than five hooks on a line , pro vides for game and fish wardens , and for a $ i license for hunting in another than a home county , wilh a $10 fee for non residents hunting in the state. SPRING fever has arrived. It always comes ahead of the calendar. Generally it is announced by advertisements tell ing of remedies that will cure the tired feeling. Occasionally a bluebird comes along to sound a note , and finally , under the leaves some one finds a snowcjrop era a violet and everybody begins to grow weary. The disease is largely mental and the sovereign cure for it is work Saturday Evening Post. THE late lamented legislature treated the newspapers of the state having claims before it most shamefully like a lot of buuis. There is a too widespread sentiment that newspapers have no bus iness or commercial rights that ought to be"respected , and it is the duty of every newspaper man having any adequate conception of the dignity of his calling to fight this fallacy to the death. News papers must be rescued from the 5-cent counter by business newspapermen who are ever alert to resent the insult that newspapers are philanthropic institu tions , existing on charitable donations. A newspaper claim is entitled to the same consideration and just payment that any other claim is. The Auditorium Fund. Previously reported $3.175. ° ° K. of P. lodge 50.00 U.

MCDONALD , Kan. , April 3 ( Special Telegram Bee. ) A Burlington train ar rived at McDonald last night at 7:25. the first train here since March 23. The snowplow is digging east from Bird City , Kan. , through a drift three and a half miles long. The drifts will be cleared by 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. There were eight days mail , express and mer chandise on the train for McDonald. Snow on the range is two to three feet deep. Hard weather prevails. Trainmaster Kenyon has been over on the Orleans-St. Francis branch for the past two weeks personally superintend ing the raising of the snow blockade on that branch. Never in the history of the branch has the company had such a snow blockade to contend with. The drifts have been of unprecedented depth and length and so solidly packed that the snowploxvs and engines have been unable to make much headway into them , and recourse has been had to shoveling out the cuts. In this work about 100 men have been engaged for the past two weeks. It is thought that the branch will be clear by tomorrow. The heavy work has been about St. Francis , Blakeman , McDonald etc. C. E. Emerson and gang have also been over with the trainmaster. An Instructive Alfalfa Field. It is well to know that alfalfa succeeds : in the alluvial valleys of the state like those of the Platte , Republican and Beaver. Excellent success has also been attained iu growing alfalfa in the east ern portion of the state , notably in the fields of the state agricultural farm at Lincoln. It is not generally known that alfalfa can be successfully grown on roll ing uplands in the central portion of the state , or on lands that have usually been considered too dry to be safe for general farm crops. A notable illustration of what can be done on lands of this character is to be found five miles west of Kearney. The D. H. Watson ranch has some 5,000 acres of valley land of which nearly half has been seeded to alfalfa. This ranch also contains between 2,000 and 3,000 acres of rolling hills and table laud , lying above the level of the Platte , which was broken six years ago , re-plowed , disced , and finely harrowed in August with the thought of conserving summer moisture , roughly plowed in November and allowed lie rough ror winter to catch the flur ries of snow. In early spring this field was thoroughly disced , pulverized , har rowed and made into a fine seed bed , and April at the proper time for seeding was seeded to alfalfa , drilling half the seed each way. Sufficient of the rain fall ] of the previous year and of the frost moisture of the preceding winter had' been conserved so that there was enough moisture iu the soil to rise to the surface ind insure prompt germination of the eed. eed.This This field has yielded fair crops of ilfalfa for five years in succession. In he driest seasons one cutting and some jrazing , and in the more favorable years wo cuttings. While the yield of alfalfa Co "rorn this dry hillside is not nearly so CoWl arge as from the sub-irrigated valleys , Oa amount of hay cut and pasturage Ry iecured has been sufficient to make it a Ho rofitable experiment. This is also in- eresting as showing what may be done Bui vith hundreds of thousands of acres of Bui imilar lands that have been thought to useful only for the limited amount of rairie grass grown thereon for grazing , cor should be borne in mind , however , & the soil referred to is a yellowish loam that holds moisture better han the average western table land.
