Dcuycr's Latest Export.

Colorado was first introduced to the world by
the pixies Peak excitement and the CLEANS OF
gold in the sands of Cherry creek. Then came
the striped potato bug tdorphona ,sniin;euJ, who
marched across the continent from his supposed
nome in the Bear Creek valley twhere he docs
not exist TO the bayonet protected confines of the
German empire where this misnamed enemy of
the Emerald tuber dignitied by prohibitory
proclamation from the paternaf government that
hold sway in that land of liberty in sentiment and
no liberty in fact.
Again the name OF Colorado goes to the country
but this time in connection with that ancient
clover plant which the mojerns call ALFALFA

Henry Lee, the dealer in implements and seeds
shipped over 1900 pounds of alfalfa seed TO Mis-
souri, last week, and small lots are being regular
ly sent through the mails and by express TO all
sections of the country. far south as Louisiana
and ms far east AS Maryland.
Alfalfa has been marked success since its first
introduction into this State. Long ago, in the old
territorial days before the Greeley colony united
literature to farming on the Rocky Mountain
slope. Hon. W. A. II. Iovcland raised alfalfa on
stony inclincs near his residence at Golden, where
It grew so rapidly that in the course of two
i,thrcatened take sole possession of the grounds
and had to be forcibly removed to make nom for
more delicate covering II was raised more or
less in the Clear Creek valley, but to the Greeley
colony belongs the credit of writing up the plant
and giving 1t regular position In the crops Of
.he State. II is now peculiarly at home in the
vicinity Of Denver, Messrs. l.. X. Perrin and J
Brisbn Walker dcvoting acres of their land to Its
production.
The seed ripens to perfection on the farms In
this vicinity, and will become In due time one of
the city's chief exports. The editor of the Colo-
rado Htrmer assures that Ave bushels Of seed
have been obtained here, on an Indifferent crop,
per acre. bringing slS, while in California the
yield has nettei high as ss6 per acre. nftccn
acres yielding 81. 900 worth Of seed. During the
season of lssi at least 10000 pounds Of seed re-
presenting $4,000, were brought into Colorado.

Il Is likely that Old Red Mountain will be literally
