years time to get it established. but it k the best we can dO We lose, perhaps. sl0 an acre, through not having any return from the land during the season the alfalfa is sown, but the same amount expended "in manuring would not benefit suc- 'ceeediug crops nearly so mdch as growing them on alfalfa sod SO we feel justified in turning under the alfalfa and seeding other fields.
 There is not a crop which will not make good and profitable use of the fertility stored by alfalfa, providing it is properly handled. It would not be the thing to turn under alfalfa in September and October, and SOW at once to wheat, for the ground would be SO loose that it would dry out rapidly, and render the outcome of the crop very problematic: but alfalfa may be turned under in July. after the first crop has been cut, and the land SOwn to wheat at the proper season with a good chance for success.
 Wheat however is far from being the best crop to- follow alfalfa-aS far as it is from being the best crop to which to apply manure. Corn or po- tatoes are as good successors to alfalfa as any crops, and are more often planted as such than any other two crops. A favorite and satisfactory rotation in Colorado is alfalfa three years. corn one year, potatoes and millet or oats one year, and spring wheat one year. This leaves the ground free for fall seeding of alfalfa again, which saves nearly years crops.

4 grower of apples in Sidney, New South Wales, has just made an inter- esting experiment.. He wanted to find ont which was the shortest route to Chicago. east or west. So he packed q barrel of yellow apples and a barrel of red apples and started one each way around half the world. The barrel of yellow apples passed through the canal. through the Mediterranean sea, up the English channel. and finally reached London. Here it was taken from the boat and sent by rail- road to Liverpool Then the barrel of New South Wales fruit was loaded into an ocean racer, and started on it's way across the Atlantic to New York, whence it went to Chicago by rail- road It was just sixty-six days to an hour when they arrived at Chicago. In the meantime the red apples had crossed the Pacific ocean to San Fran sisco in twenty days Then they were sent by freight to Chicago. After numerous delays along the road the apples arrived. They had been fifty-two days on the way. Now the glo11 trotting apples sit side by side at the Worlds Fair

much, said I, and then happened to think of something.
 .' How far do you want him to go?' said l.
 " Only quarter
 And how soon do you want him to step it:'
 " In 23 seconds, he said
 In g: Doyou know what you are talking about:'
 "'I guess l do. We have plenty that step quarter in 2i. and some in 23l.
 That set me thinking If these shortbred ponies are equal to 23i what could not a thoroughbred do in these attitudes. determined to find out what it could do.
 At the Haggin sale. recently l bought six yearlings. and have pur- chased five others. One of the Allies is related to Salvador. and they are all of good stock. have a place for track not over a half mile. guess but itll be a good one. and l mean to give the colts the best possible care
 Some of the local horsemcn were questioned on the subject. Most of them thought the experiment. would develop phenomenal racers. Two were of contrary opinion. One said:
 There k plenty of horses in Colo rado- good horses too, where the al- titude is as high. and even higher. than this have never known one to be extraordinary. however"
 The other one said that he thought that once the colts were acclimated to the high and dry air of New Mex fen, they would be eneryated by return to the Atlantic coast. and 50 would not be able to do anything
 Mr. Pearson replied to this, that he hoped to develop big lungs and big just as big lungs and big as were developed on the cow boys ponies if he did that, he would take chances of being able to re-accli- mate the animals on the Atlantic coast.
 Mir. PcarSOn'S experiment is not new in regard to breeding in high attitudes. Theodore Winters made the same ex- pertinent when he transferred his farm from the Sacramento Valley to the Washoe Valley in Ne- yada. From the latter place he sent to the racing stable Fl Rio Key. Don Juan. King Norfolk and several more equine stars. But while depending on the light air to develop their lung power, Mir Winters fed his colts lib- ! arally, and did not stunt their capaci- Lies in other directions by making them rustic the range" for d living. There is the point where Mr. PcarSon'S ! experiment. will likely fail His range | bred thoroughbreds will probably re- luce the time of the quarter horse, | put it is doubtful whether long dis | ,ance racers can be made in the way ! by Mr Pearson. -TnE | )AsIsl

The Pacific Rural Press says it does not pay to sell drying fruit green. The experience of the past teaches that the best returns have been yielded to those who cure their own fruit. or through cooperative, community or other dryer There is DO argument better than the money argument, and the best cash returns are as q rule with those growers who are in no great hurry to get the money out of their green fruit We are convinced that it is the part of wisdom this year. as il has been in others, for growers to cure aS much fruit as possible, thus placing it in form where it is not ne- ceSsary Co dispose of it ata given time, rcga dleSS of the conditioned the mar ket The experience of majority of California growers confirms this state meat.

AN EXPERIMENT IN noRsrrLEsm.
Hut an old One, In which Theodore Winters
 succeeded.

A reporter for the New York Sun, at Magdalena. N. N. sends his paper the following interesting article on an experiment to be tried in the Mogollon mountains of SocOro county.
 Mir Eugene Pearson. of Brooklyn. has arrived here, bringing eleven thoroughbred colts, with which he proposes to try an interesting experi- ment MT. Pearson has bought a ranch at the junction If the San Francisco and Negrita creeks. l3O miles west of here The ranche in- cludes 320 acres of patented land. 'ly- ing in pocket in the yalleyr as Mr. Pearson puts t. Except for the wa ter of the streams and the rrigating effects Of the rains that are hoped for during July and August. the ranche is small part Of the great desert that desert that stretches away from the Rio Grandc to the Colorado river It is not alone a desert of dust and sand, but lt IS a regular bad land region. q desert Of lava beds. Moreover it is d desert which lies nearly 5000 feet above the level of the sea. It ls q lofty table land surrounded by mountains. How ever there is grass a-plenty wherever there is water.
 Until it came into the hands of Mir. Pearson the ranche was known as Dill Ions, and it was the property of Ed Dillon. typical New Mexican cowboy On this plot of ground, with the aid of Dillon and such other cowboys as can be found there. Mir. Pearson will build ample stables and corrals for his colts, and a good half-mile track as well, for working them. and will then settle down to develop a futurity winner for the year 1891. He is conf dent. in the first place, that working the colts in that altitude will develop extraordinary lung power Where the air is as light as it is 5000 feet above the sea. q greater amount must be inhaled to do the work of the lungs the lungs must be expanded further. and at the same time worked more rapidly than in sea level altitude. Then the colts will have rocky road ts trayil on the range, and they will have Go travel 1t good deal when "rustling for feed, especially if the present prolonged drouth continues. Mr. Pearson thinks this travelling will toughcn and improve the feet, as we'll as the muscles of locomotion In short, MT. Pearson hopes that the Warm Spring ranch of New Mexico, as he calls his place. will do some- thing even better for holselicsh than the Palo Alto ranch did for it in Cali fornia.
 When talked to on the subject by Sun reporter, Mr Pearson said:
 "The way | came to get the notion of bringing colts to New Mexico was about as follows; | was out here last | winter, looking over the country. and | happened to see scrub race among the cowboys. IL vas a good race. and ! worth seeing for they were all in it ! fur blood When it was over. one Of the boys -his name is Lee said he'd | ike to buy blo0dcd horse tha, would leave the scrub stock ont of sight and Dillon told him | could get him anything he wanted. So he came to me 1 told him could do it.
 How much will it cost? he said
 About Sl50 or POO, l said.
 I wouldn't mind S2jo, he said
