A Destructive Year.

While the year 1902 was a year Of
peace among the nations, always ex-
cepting South America, it bids fair to
go down in the annals Of the race as
one that witnessed q greater destruo-
ton q human life than has been
wrought by some long and wasting
wars. To the subterranesn and mys-
terious forces Of Mother Earth most
OF these oalamities have been due. II
is estimated that We have to charge
her unusual r%estlessness with 48, 900
lives lost through volcanic eruptiona
and earthquakes. Her tornadoes hurl-
ed 465 human beings out OF existence
and cyclones added 240 more to the
list, while other storms in great mum.
bers, bat OF less dignity in name,
placed 720 to the direct account OF

sons from life, tidal waves drowned

all OF this We must add 283 livea oh arg.
ed to the destructive force Of ava.
lanches and snowelides, and We have
q total OF 81, O78-an astounding NOR.

acres of alfalfa and this year will have

only 1900 acres. The farmers are SO gen
orally adding alfalfa to their crop list thai
few farms now are without it. This is
steadily increasing as the prairie sod is be-

Its effect on land values has been mark

more often the price is $500 to 500. Alfalfa
has made it possible to raise more stock
