NEW VARIETY OF ALFALFA
GOOD MAINLY FOR CROSSING.
Combined With cemmsn Sort II Pro-
duess Hardy and Drought Re-
sistant Strains.

Considerable interest has been
aroused through the importation by the
United States department OF agricul-
turc of some new. hardy varieties of
alfalfa. Little. however. is generally
known concerning the characteristics
of these new alfalfas or the real pur
poses of their introduction.
In the search for hardy forms of
common alfalfa (Medlcago satlvW

allied species became apparent. ye!-

regions. seemed to he the most prOmis-

were made to improve many valuable
forms of this species.

stems. but 1t is so variable that some
plants may he readily mistaken for
common alfalfa when not In flower.
Very few Of the forms possess true tap
roots like the common alfalfa. but they
have branching root system by which
new plants are produced. The flowers
are yellow and the seed pods are fal.
cate or sickle shaped. hence its botani-
cal name.
The department Of agriculture has
met with many difficulties in procur-
ing seed in quantity. as 1t Is not han
died commercially and in no place is it
produced in abundance. In spite Of the
scarcity Of seed very thorough tests
have been conducted both under Guilt

~HERE are cases Of individual
stupidity and there are combi-
nations Of stupidity. It has
been my fate to suffer from
one Of these combinations In my case
1t consisted Of . man In love and q
small boy who hadn't any sense.
Mr.. Perkins. the Junior member OF
the firm where was confidential clerk,
was the man In love. His flancee lived
in an interior town. and he was con-
tinually neglectinR the business to 60

her when she came to town. He was
obliged to 90 abroad on business. ana
before going he called me into bis pri-
vate once and said:
Prank, I'm going 10 take you into
my confidence. I am engaged to be
married. as you probably know. to the
loveliest girl In the universe she Is
Miss Octavia Allerton and lives In B.

has the key. Now. don't wish these

and when I left him he felt assured
that he could send messages to his
finncee safely and with secrecy. While
he was on the ocean I received a wire
less messnge every few days. and they
continued at intervals when ne got on
land. took them all to the telegraph
office and forwarded them.
There was an interval Of five days
during which none came. and thep
received one just as I was leaving the
office in the evening to go to keep nm

to catch the train. ! called Joe. an Of
fee boy. gave him the message with
the proper address and told him to take
it to the telegraph office. "Be very

There's such a thing as squirting peo-
pie to overdo things. put too much
caution into Joe If had said moth
ing to him he would have handed the
telegram in without locking ut 1t. and
nothing would have happened. As 1t
was. while going to the telegraph Of

read it:

there was something wrong in It, since
