lighted at being married that he want

III your news should set him on the

better put him on his guard In that
particular likewise"
II think you need have no fear OF

Alfalfa.


The attempt of the Maine farmer to
raise alfalfa as a standard forage crop,
is indeed ''crazy chase" Better stick
to the clover. Clover is to New England
what alfalfa is to the southwest. The
last fall and winter l have been over
hundreds of acres of alfalfa lands in
Colorado, Arizona and California; have
seen it under the varying conditions Of
those several states where from three 20
seven crops ars cut year; have noted
particularly tho kinds and conditions OF
tho soils that produced the crop success
fully, and am bound to say there are
very few If any acres in Maine that are
adapted to it. Think of plant whose
roots 60 down ten feet when they have a
chance, transported to the hard and
rocky soils of our northern states.
The habitat of plants is such that no
one of them, however useful in its own
locality, is fitted for all soils or all cli-
mates. It is the part of wisdom for
man to content himself with what
flourishes best in the region he inhabits.
and by judicious Improvement and
generous culture, to make the most OF 1t
rather than attempt to naturalize ex-
otics that are in every way unsuited to
his zone. Alfalfa is plant of pro.
digious possibilities in its natal soil and
climate, but it seems to me it would be
quite as wise to attempt to substitute
the orange for the apple, as alfalfa for
clover. Glover Is the builder OF frames
in animal industry; promoter OF health
in the farmyard stock, and is worthy OF
first place among our forage crops.
Too many of its excellencies are unap-
precisted, too much of its value Is lost
in cutting and curing. The making of
clover hay requires radically different
treatment from that of the grasses, yet
generally it is accorded the same.-COr.

Our trains never missed trip; our
schedules were unbroken; our people
laughed; we got the business, dead

and HALEY watched, and the Spider
slept
Big Ed Peeto, still foreman Of the
bridges, hung on Hailey's steps and
tried with his staring, swearing eye to
make it all out; to guess what HALEY
expected to happen, for 1t was plain he
was thinking. Whether smoking or
speaking, whether waking or sleeping,
he was thinking. And as May turned
soft and hot into June with every ditch
bellying and the mountains still buried,
1t put US all thinking.
On the 3Oth there was trouble be-

they hug the river on the west slope.
1t wasn't really Hailey's track. Bucks

HALEY wherever the emperor sent Ney.

SIf our orchards are again to produce
