ALFALFA AND RED CLOVER,
The Most Popular Forage Plants Of the
Eastern Rocky Mountain Region.

The MOee Popular Forage PAAnts or GhS
Eastern Rocky Mountain Region.
BY far the most important forage
plant cultivated in the eastern Rocky
mountain region at the present time is
alfalfa. One Of the things which makes
alfalfa so valuable for this region is it's
ability to thrive ON land containing
considerable quantity Of Alkali. Mr.. 7.
S. Williams who has made an exhaust
i've investigation Of the grasses and
forage plants Of the region mentioned,
says there are few cultivated crops that
will stand az much alkali as this. From
Mr.. Williams recent report published
by the department Of agriculture the
following items in regard to alfalfa and
red clover are cleaned:
The injurious effects Of too much wa
ter upon the growth Of alfalfa is we'll
illustrated by the conditions at present
prevailing in q number Of localities In
Colorado, particularly in the southern
part Of the state. The soil, either from
natural causes or 40 a result Of the
methods Of irrigation practioed, has be-
come saturated with water to within a
short distance Of the surface. AS con-
sequence the roots Of the alfalfa rot and
the plants become sickly and finally
die, rendering it impossible to produce
anything like permanent meadow.
Here in Colorado, as we'll as in many
other parts Of this region, the best suo-
cess 10 obtained with alfalfa on the
bench lands. It Is surprising what q
small amount Of labor is required to OBJ
tain q good alfalfa meadow in some
portions Of this region. For example, it
Is o common practice to give sagebrush
land no more plowing or other prepara-
tion than is necessary in taking OFF che
sagebrush. The brush is cut and grub
bed out, raked up and burned, and the
seed sown directly on the unplowed
land, covered and watered. The soil Is
so loose as to require little or no stir.
ring, and water is the only thing neoes-
sary to make it produce abundant crops
OF alfalfa. OF course more thorough
preparation will give an evener and
more lasting meadow, but the writer
has seen many fine alfalfa meadows ON
land untouched by the plow except TO
make bitches for distributing the water.
Next to alfalfa red clover is the most
widely cultivated leguminous forage
crop in this region. 1t seems to be more
generally grown in Montana than in
either Colorado or Wyoming, and It's
cultivation is chiefly confined to rich
valleys and bench lands near the noun
tains where there is good supply OF
moisture or where irrigation is prac-
ticed. 1t is usually grown with timothy
and other meadow grasses and is cut
for hay or used as soiling crop. Very
fine crops are raised in central and
southwestern Montana and in northern
and central Colorado, and it is occasion
ally seen elsewhere in these states Red
clover is not generally grown in Wyo-
ming, though 1t is being tried in many
locaIitiaa With worry fair auocaaa

The common cereal crops, such as
rye, oats, wheat and barley, are often
grown for forage. Rye and oats are used
for this purpose more often than any
others, although it is a common prac-
tice to cut any cereal for hay if condi-
tions are such that it is not likely to
mature crop of grain. Rye is being
very successfully grown for late and
early pasturage in many localities, and
its cultivation is becoming more general
each year. It is already quite extensive

the potatoes have set and the demand

MARACAIBO WRECKED.
The Vessel Goes Down Near Para
guiana, South America--.Ma.
chinery Also Lost,

AAAoS AAo9Ns
Word was received in this city yester-
day that the steamer Maracaibo, hailing
from this port, has become total loss
near Paraguana, South America. The
steamer was one of the Red D Line
boats, the office of which is at the Office
of the Pusey & Jones Company. The
charter of the company was secured in
this State and the main office was To-
Gated in New York, with offices in Mara
caibo, Curacao and other South Ameri-
can cities.
The cause of the accident to the vessel
is not yet known. The Pusey & Jones
Company had quantity of sugar ma
chinery on tho vessel and this, as well as
the other materials, were lost. The Pusey
4 Jones Company has already received
an order to duplicate the machinery
which was lost.
George A. Messick, manager of the
local firm, made his last South American
trip on the Maracaibo. Engineer Wat
rouss; of the ill-fated steamer, was one OF
the two persons rescued from another
steamer OF the same line, which was
sunk a few years ago in collision with
Spanish steamship a few miles from the
place where the Maracaibo was de.
stroyed.

A Pony's Intelligence.

A correspondent writes from Abbots-
bury to Nature Notes: "The other day
when we were having lunch we heard
a strange scratching sound, and then as
if some one were trying to turn the
handle of the door. Our housemald went
and opened the door to see what 1t was,
and there stood the bakers pony and
cart. His master had left him III the
road while he went to the next house,
and the pol,v had turned round and
himself tried to open the door. OF course
we were much amused to hear what 1t
was, and the door was shut again. The
next minute came one loud, decided
knock, evidently from the door knocker
That can't be the pony, we all cried at
the same time, rushing to the door, but
it was. He was standing with his front
feet on the pavement, quietly waiting,
and very pleased at his success. of
course we gave him some bread. biscuits
and sugar as a reward for his clever
ness. He must have taken the knocker
in his teeth. -
