the common alfalfa from the heart o

 says:
 "One of the main instructions of Sec
 retary Wilson in sending the writer on
 this trip '97-9S of nearly ten months was to secure, if possible, a hardy
 drouth-res!sting leguminous forage
 plant from the elevated table lands oi Asia. Upon reaching Russia the gov enrment agricultural authorities at
 Moscow and St. Petersburg told me O; this plant. It Is distinct from comrnc n alfalfa and is known to Russian author ities as Medicago Satlva.
 learned from the department of az | riculture G't St. Petersburg that it had | been found in parallel experiments east | of the Caspian sea in the Meri oasis iu Russian Turkestan, and that it was vastly superior to comon alfalfa, espee | ially where there was lack of water" Prince Masalski. of the department of agriculture at St. Petersburg, writes in the Industries of Russia, volume III, page459:
 ''Lucern clover, Medicago Sativa, var. Turkestanica. is the chief fodder produce in use throughout central Asia and to the settled population of Tur- kestan is of the highest importance, since during the summer it forms the chief, and in the winter the only fod- der for cattle. The native lucern would seem to be a cattle fodder that cannot be replaced in countries so dry and so hot as Turkestan and the Transcasp:an province.
 'Along the Volga river at the dry region experiment stations of eastern European Russia, I found this plant doing well, and when I got to the les ert and semi-desert regions Of Turko- mania, Bokhara and the SemirretchinsS province of Russian Turl1estan, all east of the Caspian sea, I made d care full study of the plant and was so pleased with what was seen of this plant that I did not stop until fully S0,- 900 pounds of the seed was secured chiefly from the cotton growing sec tions among the Sarts or native Mo- hammedans.
 "The main reason of making the overland journey of 2,OOO miles q 3O9 by wagon, 700 by sieigh) from Tash- kent, the capital of Russian Turkestan to Omsk, in Siberia, via Kuldja, in western China, was to trace this plant to it's northern limits, which was found to be near Kopal in Siberia Qatitlde i5 degrees 10 minutes).
 ''Tns most surprising fact is that the alfalfa which proved So hardy at Brooklngs was from the cotton section of Turkestan. So that the plant stands cold as well as drouth. Iris indicated that in this plant we have an alfalfa that will be hardy to our northern bor- ders and probably north into Canada It is gratifying to the writer that the rough journey in Asia apparently re- suited in giving the northwest as well as the southwest the hardy forage Ge- sired by Secretary Wilson.
 Tt will be well to note that have TO seed of Turkestan alfalfa Co sell or give away. All the seed was distribu- ted from Washington, and the United States department of agriculture takes care of all applications. To those who lost their alfalfa fields las. winter it will be good news that there is in eN- istence an alfalfa harder than the orc now cultivated in America"

Sabbath Dissertation.

Editor Virginian-Pilot:
thank you kindly for allowing
Kicker" to express himself through
the columns Of your excellent paper.
also thank the author for the public
acknowledgment he made in reference
10 closing the stores on our Sabbath.
It is burning shame that the peo-
pie of our city are forced to call the at
tention of our city officers to the pub
lie evils enacted in our city. Are they
afraid of discord? They say: BE pa
tient, 1t takes time to stamp out such
evils. We can't do all this in n mo-
ment," and they call US q restless set
of mortals. We don't want to be easy,
we can't be quiet and we won't be con-
tented with such dissertation on the
Sabbath day. 1 believe in dealing just
ly with all men, but can't believe as
the old fellow who said: "If your
neighbor steals sheep of you, consid-
er 1t as an act of necessity on his part,
and furnish him with funds to buy his
mutton for the future" Let the doors
of every store in our city and county
be compelled to close It's doors on Sun
day, save the drug stores, and let us
have our Sabbath respected.

mistake had been made by the as
SCISSORS.
He said that he had not given special
attention to the Ramsey county tax
attachments, but when taken up they
would be served just the same as hum
dreds of other such applications. All ap-
plications for abatement will, he says.
be turned down unless the error is
shown.
Under this decision of the state auditor
the abatement of delinquent taxes on 1000
descriptions of land recently made by the
board of county commissioners will not
be approved by Mr. Dunn. 1t was stated
at the meeting of the board at which the
attachments were approved that the coun-
ty would make money by allowing the
owners to settle the back taxes at the
rate of one-third the face amount. The
sum which the owners agreed to pay
amounted in the aggregate to $4,000, and
the county board unanimously agreed to
the abatement.
