NORTH POLE OF ALFALFA.

Shortly before Commander Robert E. Peary mailed the stars and Stripes to the geographical north pole" early in the spring of 1909, there returned to the United States from northern Asia an other explorer who had found pole, the discovery of which. in all human probability means hundreds of millions of dollars to the people of the United States.
 This pole was the north pole of al falfa. and the splendor of the achieve ment of finding it lies in the fact that the alfalfa seeds brought to America from it's vicinity mean the extension of the alfalfa belt on this continent northward to the Arctic circle, if men care to take it so far; successful alfal- ia culture. that is, for an immense re zion from which by extreme cold it has hitherto been barred: an increase of something like $50 an acre in the values of northern farm lands; an add ed income of millions upon millions Of dollars for American farmers, and con- sequently. it may fairly be assumed, greater prosperity for all.
 The discOverer who came back un-
  he came. was Niels Ebbesen Hansen, a hardy bodied and high spirited Dane by birth. an ardent and loyal American by adoption. plant explorer for the United States government when there is exploring to do in especially diff ficult regions. and regarded the head of the horticultural and forestry de partment of the South Dakota experi- ment station. which is connected with the South Dakota College of Agricul- ture and Mechanic Arts at Brookings. $. D.
 Proofs? They are the seeds brought from the northern zones of wild all falfa in frigid Siberia to tell their own story. In these there can be no ques tion of fictitious observations. Nature has written in them her own records in that mysterious stuff called life, and nature herself will read these records in this country and say from what kind of climate the seed came Human falli bility. partisanship, or prejudice can have little or nothing to do with the results.
 But why?" asks some one. There is abundance of alfalfa in this country, enough to supply any quantity of seed for the north" Obviously, tho trouble is. the seeds are not of the right kind. Plants from the seed of common alfal- ia, such as under irrigation in Cali fornia, give nine cuttings a season. and without irrigation in Oklahoma give as many. often winter-kill in the ex treme cold of Minnesota and the Da- kotas. That is. the kind of alfalfa which thrives in the southern states will not stand the severe winters of the north without a snow blanket, and such blanket cannot be had to order from the weather man. In the winter of 1S9S-9 the farmers of the west lost millions of dollars just because of this fact.

 Friends.

Acating Governor Young yesterday granted another parole to Steve Cal lahan. whose former parole granted by Governor Sloan he had revoked on Sat urday. and friends of Callahan will come here from Fl Paso to take him out of the territory and keep him out.

FEEDING ALFALFA
FOR EGG PRODUCTION
Good For The liens and LightenS
the Grain Bill.

Alfalfa Is as much an egg producing
material as it is n producer of milk.
1t Is rich in nitrogen and mineral mat
ter, thus providing the hens with sub
stances that are derived from 1t In
forms most suitable for the purpose
desired. Lime Is nm essential sub
stance in the production of eggs, and
there are some that use oyster shells
for supplying the hens with lime, but
alfalfa contains lime In soluble form
and ready prepared for use.
The various grains are deficient in
lime. Nand when poultry receive no
food but grain 1t is impossible for the
hens to lay perfect eggs, many being
soft shclled. When the needed ele-
ments are supplied and the hens lay
regularly the carbonaceOus matter is
appropriated by the eggs, hut If the
hens do moi lay they become fat and
remain In u condition that invites dis
ease.
Alfalfa or clover. by displacing part
of the grain ration. supplies the hens
with substances which are lacking In
grain and provides bulk food and heat.
ing food. 1t Is good both In the dry
and green state, and happy is the poul-
tryman who has an alfalfa patch for
his hens to wander In. They can get
animal and green food Mt the same
time, If you don't raise alfalfa your
self buy II by all means and save half
your grain bill

SnarGS Forty Holy Rollers
In One. Day

Benton Harbor, Mich, Dec. 19-It
was big day yesterday for Brother
Benjamin, leader of the Holy Rollers
Religious Society here, and bigger
one for 20 long-haired and bearded
apostles and an equal number of sis
ters of the sect, who were married
in a wholesome ceremony that broke
through the rigid rules of Benjamin's
faith, which hitherto had ignored Cup
i'd, A local magistrate, Squire James
Weldon, the marrying Justice Of St.
joe" tied the knots and in his own
words it was "some ceremony"
The score of marriages today mark
the end, it Is believed, of celibacy in
the religious colony founded here by
Brother Benjamin some years ago.
Thirteen couples were married in
one party and seven in another. Ac-
cording to popular Interpretation,
Benjamin's faith failel to recognize
the little god of love. Teaching the
worldliness of the physical body, the
Holy Rollers doctrine, at least until
recently, failed to admit that true hap,
piness could come through wedlock
Love was frowned upon and the sexes
were separated.
Recently one Of the prominent mem
bers of the sect William Hannaford,
an Australian, fell in love with pret-
ty sister of the colony. His love
knew no bounds and In the end he
married his sweetheart and thereby
started Cupid on a big task.
Seven couples were married In the
afternoon and 13 In the evening, the
prospective brides and bridegroom )
grouping themselves in semicircln
about a specially built altar. The
brides wore flowing gowns of white
silk and satin, and the bridegrooms,
with flowing hair and unshaven faces,
which is the Holy Rollers custom,
were clothed in ordinary habits. There
will be no honeymoon trips.
