grown largely in the humid as we'll
as the arid states. The Mormons took
it up in the early days and one of the
few maxims left by that great colon
izer, Brigham Young, was to "plow
deep and SOW alfalfa
The great secret of it's success would
seem to be in it's root penetrating
power. Plants four or five months
old are known to have roots five or
six feet long and if there is any mois-
ture the roots will penetrate the hard
est hardpan. 1t is common to find
roots from 10 to Is feet long, and
F. D. Coburn in his book on alfalfa
mentions a place in Colorado where
an alfalfa root was found at a depth
Of 1923 feet.
Here in Montana it will grow on
almost any kind of soil, sandy loan
being the best; however, it will do
well on gumbo, on the highest bench
lands or on the river bottoms. It
will come nearer making a crop on
gravelly land than any other plant.
1t is about the last crop to be killed
out by alkali. Ii will, after once well
set, come nearer making a good crop
without water than any other one that
l know of, and on the other hand it
will stand more water and oftener in
the hot season if properly put on and
than any other plant.
If a farmer does not care for hay
it is a paying crop to let go to seed,
there being a great demand for the
same. You a cut as much hay as
from any other one crop and still raise
a crop of seed that is as valuable as
the average crop.
1t will produce from three to seven
to the acre. 1t will produce
from five to Is bushels Of seed per !
acre. It is the nearest to a balanced !
ration of any crop grown. It has more
protein than wheat bran. It comes
nearer crowding out all foul weeds
and grasses than any other plant.
Unlike other plants it does not ex-
aaust the soil, but .enriches it, so that
grain yields nearly double where al.
alta is plowed up. The digestibility
Of alfalfa is changed less by the pro-
less OF curing than that of any other
forage plant. Dry alfalfa in the sum-
mer is as palatable to the dairy COW

WHOLESALE BANKING.

"No personal accounts, large or
small, wanted here; we do business
only with large corporations" This
was the reply the president of one OF
the $25,O00,0OO Wall street banks gave
to an inquirer as to the minimum de-
posit that institution would accept.
1t was notification that this was dis
tinctly wholesale bank" Such
an answer would not have been made
five years ago. But this Is a new age.
The billion-dollar trust and the $685.
100000 bank are to Wall street what
wireless telegraphy is to electricity
wonders. The vast demands Of mod.
ern industry, often requiring the nego
tiation of loan of $5,000,000 upon
few hours notice, with frequent calls
for stupendous accommodation from
transcontinental railroads or syndi-
Gates financing foreign government
bond issues, have called into being
these new banks--veritable incarna-
tions Of power, holding, indeed, the
safety and happiness OF a people in
their Enthusiastically evening Post.

ON HOW TO GET RICH.

Since some Of our very rich men
have taken to public discourse upon
all sorts Of matters their utterances
have somewhat diminished their repu-
tation for infallible wisdom. 1t has
been discovered that q man may pos
sess great wealth and still fail or
complete mastery Of the science OF
government or the principles OF po-
litical economy. Nay, 1t Is evident
that such man may not even prove
a reliable guide TO the inquirer who
seeks for the road to wealth.
One of the most didactic of our
vivacious millionaires has recently de-
clared that riches are within the
reach of every man who wishes to be
rich. He asserts that there are but
two requisites for the acquisition OF
wealth-moderate intelligence and un-
limited industry. Given these, he de-
clares that any man can get rich.
Which is, of course, entirely false
and misleading, even though it comes
from a gentleman who has piled up
great wealth and is now engaged In
piling up free libraries. Everyone
knows that intelligence and industry
are not the sole essentials to the ac-
Quisition of riches. Everyone knows
Of men highly intelligent and thor
oughly industrious who can scarcely
make a living.
It is true that intelligence and in
dustry are qualities favorable to the
attainment OF wealth, but it Is not
true that the possession OF those
qualities, even in the highest degree,
constitute any assurance Of riches.
The money-making faculty is a
thing apart from other natural endoW,
ments. An ignorant, illiterate man
who possesses it will get rich. and
intellectual garius without it will re-
main poor all his life. Like gift for
music, it can be cultivated, but it can
not be acquired.
The sayings Of our loquacious mil
lionaires, like the aphorsms in the
copybooks, will not always bear analy
sis. In the present instance the fal
sity of the proposition is evident to
| everybody, since vast majority OF
the people, though they are intelligen,
and hard working. never acquire sc
much as modest competence, lei
alone wealth.-Chicago Record-Her

WOMEN IN GERMANY.

The movement in Germany to open
the doors of the universities to wom-
en- has failed in it's chief purpose,
but it has led to something. Girls
are to be admitted to the classical
schools preparatory to the university
as an experiment, but there is posi-
tive opposition on the part of the gov
ernment to q classical training for
women. Instead, and ito maintain
the ideal position Of German women
in the home" the instruction Of girls
In the high schools is to be better
adapted to domestic requirements
That is to say, the ambitious young
women are to be taught the art and
science of cooking and of household
work generally. The minister Of in
struction does not seem to be inn
pressed by the arguments in favor Of
erudite women. but he has lively
sense of the importance to the coun-
try Of general good cooking,-Phila-
delphia Record.

royal blue and a rich poppy red. The
white silks are suitable for children's

stantial than Japanese washing silks,

THE cZAR's PRIVATE FORTUNE.

Many newspapers have seriously re-
produced telegram which appeared
in Paris journal announcing that
the Emperor Nicholas had presented
his private fortune, amounting to
eighty millions sterling (s400000,OO0)
to the Russian government for war
purposes. 1t was added that this huge
sum stands to the credit of the emper-
or in bank of a country not friendly
to Russia. Eighty millions would be a
pretty sort of a sum to be held at
call by any bank but the whole story
is romance, and SO are all the other
tales about the emperor's dealings
with his civil list. The fact is that
the emperor of Russia has no civil
list, and he draws at his discretion on
the imperial treasury, every rouble
of which is supposed to be his prop
erty and absolutely at his disposal

cURBING TREE BUTCHERS.

1t is satisfactory to note that public
opinion is being aroused on the SUBJ
ject OF the wanton destruction Of
shade trees by the servants Of tele-
phone, telegraph and electric light
companies, who are sent out to string
wires and who carry the implements
with which to make short work Of
tree which they deem in the way OF
their operations. Such outrages are
usually committed when those able
and willing to protect trees are away
from home. Protests from women
count for very little, and tears for
even less. Against subsequent suits
for damages the companies are well
fortified. If valuable tree Is once
spoiled what its owner can recover by
a suit at law would not trouble any
one.-Chicago Chronicle.
