improvement OF Alfalfa.

The Colorado experiment station fol
number of years has Investigated
the Improvement OF alfalfa by seed
selection. The results OF large
almost every section OF the world has
revealed that there are many decid.
ed contrasts OF great value In some
strains. One of the most important
is the contrast In hardness or free
dom from winter killing found in
the northern strains as compared
with the strains from the south, or
warm countries
The hardness OF the northern
strains of alfalfa seems to be asso-
ciated with the type of the plant,
rather than to any yarietal distinc-
ton. The hardy types character
lied by an underground stooling
habit. of sending out root stems an
inch or more below the surface with
the bud areas protected from frosts;
also these stems have tendency to
take root and form very large
strong crown. This type of plant
also has large lateral root system
which develops a large yield of hay.
The non.hardy type has more
compact. upright growing crown. with
comparatively few buds much below
the surface line of the soil. thus the
.uds are exposed TO freezing and
tnawing.
All the alfalfa from the hot coun.
tries In the tests have shown the
non'hardy type of crown. and they
have been all winter.killed. even Ia
southern Colorado.
The simple root system OF a single
tap root with few lateral branches
and the comparatively small crowns

easily outclassed by the hardy north.

cd crowns and immense root systems.
There are several strains of northern
alfalfa that has this protected stool.

 Soon after, the steamboat passes two castles of robber barons captured by Rudolph of Hapsburg. The castles be. tween Bingen and CoblentZ are as thick as the stumps were in Douglas when Frank Bach, Billy Newcomer and ! landed there in 'S2.
 On one hill are two castles called The Brothers. In 1900, Heinrich snd Lud- wig were in love with the same young lady, and as they could not both marry her, Heinrich resigned, went to the Holy land, leaving Ludwig the field. After time he tired of the girl and joined crusade. A couple of years later be returned with Greek bride. A few months later Heinrich returned with, the intention of killing Ludwig for being UnSaithSal to Hfb6egarde, but she ihSerposed and begged him to forget it. He dids built castle beside his brother and they were friends ever after Hide garde went into convent; the Greek girl tired of Lnd wig, went off with better man and verybpdy was satisfied.
 Boppard is an old Roman town and has many interesting Fnins. One Is aD old castle built by the Knight Templsrs who were first at the siege of Acre. An otasr is about which they tall the fol- lowing: Conrad Bayer, who was gover nor of the city, had fallen in love with girl named Marian living on the ot her side of the ujver. Her brother vas in Palestine fighting under the emperor. Conrad tired of the lady and for months he had not seen her, when one day while hunting he was net in the woods by knight in white aruaor who said that he was Marian's brother and challenged him to combat. At the first lunge Conrad ran him through the body and killed Rim. On opening the helmet he found that it was Marian herself he had killed. He became monk and built this convent.
 In one place in the middle of the river is a six.sided castle, apparently rising out of the water. It has only one door, that being several feet above water level, so that it is necessary to use ladder, There are many dungeons under Water where the prisoners had no light end heard nothing but the sound of the water overhead The em- peror, Henry VI, wanted the daughter of one of the Counts Palestineto marry him, but she refused and married sn- other. Later she fled for refuge to this Pfalz, where her child was born, and the emperor gave orders that for the future and forever the women of the Palatiues should 70, sc' Pfalz to have their babies. It is swift current and | pity the poor doctor who had to go over there on dark winter night and scram ble up the ladder into the only door iu the building. There is church not far from here that was very rich at one time. "A Vapskag knight went in one day and in braVsdo took the golden crown from the head of one of the sta tues, put it on his own, leaped on his horse and rode off. The horse seemed to be seized with a frenzy, dashed off madly to the river, and in spite os al efforts of the knight to restrain him, leaped into the Rhine and neither horse,. rider or crown were seen or heard of again.

"A state fair is the one event of
the year at which all who come may
see the finished product of soil, shop,
factory and the breeders art. The
skill and handiwork of mothers, wives
and daughters are in evidence. The
newest and the best of everything Is
compared and contrasted with the
old and gives teaching value to all
parts of the exposition.
"Our people ars justly proud of the
