new religfon-that of the Gabirssts. who
believe they can live without working-has
sprung up. This peculiar religion is said
to have been started by a man named Ga
bini while the islands were under Spanish
rule. His doctrines began TO be accepted,
and in order to put stop TO them Gabini
and his followers were one day taken to
Aapalit and shot.
This summary way of dealing with the
new religion seemed to be effective, as
practically nothing more was heard of the
new religion till the downfall of Spanish
power and the advent of the Ameriea&s
AS the latter proclaimed that there was
TO be freedom of religious belief the ba-
levers in the new religion took heart
and openly began to assemble for cir
worship. Their chief shrine is at telapIe
in the Candaba swamp. where with weird
rites and long prayers, groaning and chant
ing these deluded followers worship ae-
cording to their belief. AS the latter tends
to withdraw everybody from labor it is
no more popular with Americans than it
was with the Spanish, though the forme
have not attempted to crush it by such
violent means as the Spaniards used They
have however, arrested the chief Promo
ter of the sect. Felipe Salvadora, but his
followers still say he is with them in spirit
and they continue their practice of the
new religion.

Alfalfa is comparatively a new thing in
North America, although 1t is as old as
history in Europe. The Iegions of Caesar
and Alexander the Great fed their horses
upon it. It was introduced into South
America by the Spanjards, and fourished
there for three centuries before it was
brought to California, where its usefulness
was soon demonstrated, and it gradually
worked its way eastward over the noun
tains into the dry portions of the prairie
States, where it has now become the most
important staple,
Alfalfa will not grow without water any
more than corn or wheat, but it can get
along with less, and its roots will pene-
trate the ground &c a depth OF thirty feet
or more in search of moisture. 1t is said
that alfalfa roots have been found as far
as sixty feet from the surface reaching
the very artesian basin. 1t thriyeS best
in porous soils, which offer the least re-
sistance to its roots. On good land it pro-
duces four crops during the season, from
one to one and half tons an acre. and a
fifth crop that is used for hog pasturage
late in the fall Cured alfalfa sells at from
So to 81 ton, according to supply and To-
cation. Not less than 500 In cash an acre
ought to be derived from alfalfa in ordi-
nary circumstances.
One crop of seed, about four bushels to
the acre. is usually saved, and sells for
about 81 a bushei. There is a ready mar
ket and an increasing demand. The hay
from which the seed has been thrashed
is fed TO horses, but is not good for fat
tening cattle.
