A. H. "Wilson, the fusion nomi
nee for judge of the thirty-third
judicial district, on May 20, com
menced a suit in the supreme
court of Kansas to test the con
stitutionality ot the biennial elec
tion law. A hearing was set for
June 8. Very little contention is
being made against the biennial
election feature, but prominent
lawyers say the rider tacked on
at the instigation of Stanley pro
viding for the appointment by
the governor of 21 district judges
whose offices become vacant be
fore their successors can be elect
ed and qualified by the provisions
of the law, will be declared un
constitutional. Kingman Jour
nal. Morton Albaugh who has the
the Kansas gubernatorial bee in
his bonnet, is reported to have
consulted a palmist recently, and
the following is the delineation:
"Two forces dominate this hand
love and ambition. But it is a
cool and masterful, is this man's.
Love may clamor for recognition
but the line of the head is strong
ly marked and the sober second
thought always comes to his res
cue. There are troubles ahead
for this man His ambition leads
him too far. Just now he is at
the zenith of his power and to
hold that power he should apply
the brakes lest he become auto
cratic and thereby fall. Let him
make governors and senators,
let him pull the string, for the
prize is not for him. He is a
Warwick, not a king."
When to Cut Alfalfa.
Alfalfa should be cut when not
more than one-tenth of the plants
have come in bloom. Cut at this
early stage, the yield of hay for
the season will be much greater
than if the alfalfa is cut near ma
turity, and every pound of hay
secured will be worth more for
feed.
At the Kansas Experiment
Station, a strip through a field of
alfalfa was cut when one-tenth
was in bloom, another strip was
cut after full bloom had past.
The strip cut early was nearly
ready to cut the second time
when that cut after full bloom
was being harvested the first
time. The strip cut early grevv
vigorously through the season
and made three cuttings and a
good aftermath. The strip cut
after full bloom gave a low yield
the first cutting and did not grow
sufficiently to yieid a good second
cutting. Early cuttings seem to
invigorate the plant.
The late cutting of the first
crop seems to injure the plant
more than at any other time, and
we have found it profitable to cut
alfalfa the first time as soon as
one-tenth was in bloom, even
though the weather was bad and
we knew that the crop would
spoil in curing. The increased
yield from succeeding cuttings
over that cut late much more
than makes up for the loss of the
first crop.
Successful clover growers, the
first time they try alfalfa, often
ruin the stand, so that it has to
be plowed up, by waiting to cut
until it reaches thestageat which
clover is usually cut.
The great value of alfalfa is the
large amount of protein it con
tains, that material in feed that
is absolutely necessary for the
formation of blood, lean meatand
milk. The higher the protein in
alfalfa, the more valuable the
crop. The Chemical Department
of this Station found the effect of
cutting alfalfa at different stages
as follows:
One-tenth in bloom 18.5 per cent
One-half in bloom 17.2 per cent
In full bloom 14.4 per cent
The Colorado Experiment Sta
tion fonnd the effect of cutting
allalfa as follows:
Coming in bloom 18.5 per cent
Half in bloom 14.6 per cent
In full bloom 12.9 per cent
The Utah Experiment Station
for five years cut alfalfa at differ
ent stages of maturity and fed
the crop in producing beef. The
average production per year per
acre was as follows:
Hay Beef
Tons Pounds
In first bloom 5.35 706
In full bloom 4.90 562
Half blooms fallen 4.55 490
These experiments made in
three states Kansas, Colorado,
and Utah prove that alfalfa cut
in the first bloom will give the
greatest yield and feeding value
The leaves of alfalfa contain more
than three times as much protein
as the stems, a ton of alfalfa
leaves containing as much pro
tein as 2800 pounds of bran, Ev
ery care should be takon in cur
ing alfalfa to save the leaves.

Game Law.
The following is the present
game law on the statute books of
the State of Kansas:
It shall be unlawful forany per
son or persons, at any time, ex
cept as herein provided, to hunt,
catch, kill, shoot, pursue, entrap,
or ensnare, any partridges, pin
nated grouse or prairie chicken,
grouse, quail, pheasant, plover,
oriole, meadow lark, robin, thrush
red bird, blue jay, turtle dove, or
blue bird: Provided, it shall not
be unlawful to shoot grouse and
prairie chicken from August 15th
to October 1st, and doves and
ployer from July 15th to Septem
ber 15th of each year: Provided,
furthermore, that this act shall
not prevent the owner of an orch
ard from shooting blue jays or
orioles at any time for the pro
tection of such orchard: Provid
ed, it shall not be unlawful to
shoot quail during the month of
December.
The having in possession any
bird named above, at any time
when the bird so possessed is not
permitted to be shot, shall be
prima facie evidence of a violation
of law.
The penalty is a fine of not less
than $5 nor more than $100, and
costs and $10 attorneys fees.
All constables and marshals
and police officers in Kansas are
made game wardens whose duty
it is to enquire into and prosecute
all violators of this law. A war
den who fails to do his duty is
guilty of a misdemeanor and sub
ject to same penalty as the man
who kills the birds.
Fishing in any manner except
by rods, lines and fish hooks,
subjects one to a fine of not less
than $25 nor more than $100, and
a jail sentence of not more than
six months. Each fish caught
constitutes a separate offense.
