"As a result of the excia of car
linhvdruteN In moHt farm fiaidH raised
in Minnesota, Professor llieoker. irf
the Minnesota Agricultural CollOfi
who has devoted years to eyprlmeut
Ing In feeding cowa, makes the fol
lowing statement In regard to the
value of various feeding substances:
" We have for several years dlsre
garded market prices, and have baa
ed our calculations on the cost of di
gestible protein and have fed It In
whatever palatable form we found It
the cheapest It la by thla method,
and through the decrease In the price
or protein, that we have reduced the
cost of production '
"In other words, from the dairy
man's standMilnt the value of any fiaal
depends entirely upon the quantity
of protein It contalna.
"The foregoing table also shows
that II poUDdl of alfalfa hay would
contain mote protein than 10 pounds
of shorts, and would also contain near
ly as much carlaihydrates It follows
therefore that IMbon pounds of alfal
fa hay would contain more digestible
protein than a ton of shorts. If
shorts were worth $20.00 a ton, then.
011 a protein basis, alfalfa hay would
be worth over $10.00 per ton. The
- value ol alfaira. as shown by these
i comparisons. Is largely multiplied by
' the lact that an acre of alfalfa will
produce five tons of hay, or Its equiva
, lent In green fisid. and will continue
! to produce such crops for many years,
with ll'tle expense beyond that nece.
I sary to harvest the crop: while an
acre devoted to wheat, oats or barley
would produce very much less In
weight and would have to be reseeded

"The I'ennsvlvanla Agricultural Kx

I as a result of this experiment the

Inoculation of the Soil.
"It Is well known that alfalfa. In ;
common with other legumes, has upon
Its roots nodules or tubercles produc
ed by certain bacteria, by whose aid
the plants are enabled to obtain a
supply of atmospheric nitrogen. Al
though alfalfa can grow without the
pre ence ,,( these bacteria, especially

the nodules upon the resits. Where
I these bacteria are not already present
It Is desirable to Inoculate the plants
I artificially in order to produce the
best results. Ths can be done by
scattering upon the field soil from a
' Held which ha- already raised alfalfa,
1 or by placing the bacteria directly up
1 on the seed before sowing.
"The State Agricultural College has
j offered to furnish a considerable
! amount of soil, on which alfalfa has
been raised for a number of years at
I CorvalllB. and this soil will be dlstrib
I uted by the Southern Pacific Company
j without charge to any locality in the
Willamette Valley, and there scatter
ed over the ground to lie seeded to al
faira. The seed which will be sown
on other pieces of ground will be Inoc
ulated by placing the bacteria directly
upon the , seed before owlng. The
latter proceedure has been rendered
practicable by the use of pure cul
tures, a method perfected In the lab
oratories of the I'nited States De
partment of Agriculture. This meth
od has been taken up by various pri
vate laboratories, and cultures can
now be obtained from various seed

IN FAVOR
OF DISTRICT
SCHOOL.
HIGH
Shubel, May
To the Enterprise:
15.
In the coming election the people
or Clackamas county win have an op
portunity to express their wishes for
or against a County High School. Ac
cording to the views of Mr. Read and
those for whom fie speaks, It would
seem the best that could be done. And
perhaps they are right. I am in favor
of that plan which will give the boys
and girls of our county a thorough
high school course, surrounded by in
nuences and circumstances the most
favorable. If a high school located at
the county seat fulfills this require
ment, we anould endorse the propo
sition of locating there; but if on the
other hand there appears a safer plan
we should hesitate to act hastily. In
my opinion, the district high school
would be the most permanent benefit
The com hining of three or four coun
try districts, or even more, into one
central district, is the prevailing idea
of the times. We should encourage it
because it is along the right lines.
District high schools will result from
these combinations. We believe home
influences and the calm steady nature
101 country lire will develop and pre
serve a healthier character and ad
I vance intellectual attainments with
more vigor, than the risky allurements
and distractions of city possibilities.

Date.
June 8 Aa
If Judge Wolverton Imposes the
maximum penalty on Henry Meldrum,
former Surveyor General for Oregon,
he will go to Jail with a sentence of
210 years of Imprisonment hanging
over his head. If the court Imposes
the heaviest fine the law allows, Mel
drum will owe the Government $21,
000. Judge Wolverton thla morning
set Prlday. June 8, as the day on which
Meldrum will come before the court
for sentence. A motion for a new
trial Is pending In the case.
Meldrum was convicted In the Fed
eral ourt November 17, 1904, on an
Indictment charging him with forging
the names of alleged applications for
surveys of Government land. The In
dictment charged him with having
forged fraudulent affidavits In 21 In
stances, and the Jury returned a ver
dict finding him guilty on all 21
counts..
The maximum penalty prescribed
by the Federal statute In each case
is Imprisonment not to exceed ten
years and a fine of not more than
$1000, or both fine and Imprisonment.
The names forged by Meldrum on
which the surveys were fraudulently
asked for and for which there were
fees allowed by the Government are:

Louis Swanson, A. B. Castromb, John

Edwards, Harry Swartz, Steve. E.

ard A. Bradley.
In asking that the case be set for
final disposition, United States Dis
trict Attorney Bristol said that the
motion for a new trial Involved noth
ing more than law points, which could
be settled at any time, and he desired
the case disposed of as soon as pos
sible. The case has been pending ever
since the famous 21-count verdict was
returned nearly two years ago, and
by many has been forgotten. It was
eclipsed by the colossal land-fraud
trials succeeding it, and was not call
ed to the attention of the court until
District Attorney Bristol took action
this morning The vacancy on the Fed
eral bench was in large part respon
sible for the delay. The case was
tried before the late Judge Bellinger.
District Attorney Bristol this morn

TO "SHEEPMEN.
A. Thomas, who has been shearing
sheep for the past two weeks, reports
that the turnout fails to come up to
the average shearing of other years.
That all the sheep raisers should be
very careful In examlng their flocks
for maggots, as most of the sheep are
very taggy on the account of early
pasture and should be sheared early to
prevent any loss as several of the
raisers have sustained by this infernal
pest.
This is due to the carelessness of
the sheep raiser, who does not trim
his sheep before the green grasses
come out in the spring, and as the
grass begins to grow, so does the
wool and all the sheep I have sheared
this year I have found new wool from
three-eights to .one half Inch long un
der the fleece1 and that shows that
they ought to be sheared and not
wait for the sun to melt the grease
out of them.
