THE WHY OF ALFALFA AS A VIR.
GIN CROP FOR SAGE BRUSH Land.

AS virgin crop for raw sage brush
land, alfalfa stands foremost among
the legumes because of its market
influence upon the growth and pro-
ductiveness Of succeeding crops.
Sage brush lands is usually rich in
potash and phosphoric acid and poor
in nitrogen (organic matter) Alfal-
ia appears to correct the lack of nit
rogen by the cultivating effect Of its
wonderful root system, but the belief
that it adds large amounts of nitro
gen to the soil for other crops is err
roneous. Exhaustive studies have
shown that although it is capable of ]

In the afternoon large mass meet

IDAHO'S GOV FAMOUS AS CHRIST
MAS DUFF COOK.
(Statesman.)

| Governor HaWley celebrated Christ.
mas "A years ago today as the plum
duff cook in the mining camp oil
Banner, Boise county. After that SEES
sion his fame as a plum duff cook
spread far and wide and the next
Christmas, in 1859, he was invited
to make pilgrimage to Turner's
miEe on Granite creek to cook the
plum duff for that camp. The COVER
nor invented his own plum duff re-
cipe and uses raisins and currents
exclusively in putting the birds eyes
in his plum duff
In 1868 there were eight miners,
the present governor included at the
mine at Banner. Two days before
Christmas the future governor an
nounced that it was his intention to
prepare a plum duff and cook the
Christmas dinner to give good cook
chance to demonstrate his ability.
Several of the men set out for the
nearest town on snow shoes and
brought back large roast of beef
and some things which were not pur-
chased in a dry goods or grocery
store.
After the bot-beg pardon-the
roasts had been safely catched, the
party started out on hunting trip.
Several snowshoe rabbits fell prey to
the deadly aim of the party's guns
and rabbit stew, rabbit fry and rab-
bit roast was added to the bill of
fare.
, Future Governor Gets Busy.
When the sun came peeking up over
the hills the future governor was
routed out of his bunk and told to
get to work on the plum duff. His
recipe for making of first class |
plum duff is as follows
Sift out as much flour as the cook |
deems necessary to feed the number |
who are to be at dinner. Get nice |
fat Chunk of suet and chop it up fine.
Put in the powder and the other in
gradients and then mix up the whole i
batch with spoon. After thick
batter has been made as the result
Of this arduous labor, drop in the
raisins and the currents one by one
Until the butter becomes stiff. When
t is ready to put in the pot, get
)iece of cheese cloth or if it is not
n camp a piece of sheet or any other
1ind of cloth that will hold the bat
er. Put the batter in the cloth and
hen put In the pot and boil until 1t
S done. f
One of the very necessary ingredi- I
nts is hard sauce or brandy sauce,
nd the governor provided both for !
lis guests at the Christmas dinner *
4 years ago.
Becomes Famous Duffer.
When the fame of ]. H. Hawley,
lum duff cook, spread to Granite
reek, he was ordered to come there
nd prepare the Christmas dinner in
$50. He Travelled through nine feet &
snow to demonstrate the superb !
rity of plum duff la Hawley to the
liners on Granite creek.
Yesterday the governor stated that .
lie hardest thing he ever endured on
hristmas was to have company E
,me to the house and be served
rst. He said that he always hung
round the door to see If the honor !,
l guest was asked to second help
e of drumsticks and if he was,

SO generously scrambled up and over
his bachelor window frame Lynn
felt grateful for the fragrant link that
seemed to join his studio to that of
the girl with the coppery hair. In
his romantic mind he likened the
vine to the invisible tendrils that had
escaped from the girls personality
and bound him in a tight mesh.
Yes, she was there. Lynn felt
strangely at peace with the world now
that he could feast his eyes on the
riot of hair that lay in two great
braids around her shapely head. He
chafed at his bird's-eye view of the
girl. From his position she seemed
10 have cheeks like a rose petal.
Once in d fortunate moment, when
she was measuring the skyline with
her eyes, Lynn had glorious glimpse
Of dimpled chin and lips.
From that moment Lynn had
scarcely left his studio. so fearful was
he that the girl would vanish from
his sight. He spent many hours watch

brush, for she was making an inter

Only once had Lynn been in the
elevator with the girl. and it had

stepped inside and Lynn was pos
sessed Ola bright idea

been unsuccessful in her quest. She

that she might, in moistening the
stamp, catch sight of his writing.
However, he had done her service,
and that was some consolation.
