In root growth alfalfa resembles red
clover, but sends down stronger tap
root. When properly handled it pro-
duces three or four cuttings each
year and remains productive for many
years. Land which is adapted to red
clover usually grows alfalfa when
any lack of incubation and of lime is
supplied.

Alfalfa is being successfully grown
in every agricultural county in New

No Hay So Good as Alfalfa.

There is no other hay so good as al
falfa for all kinds of live stock, and
for horses and hogs alfalfa is invalu-
able, either as a hay, a soiling crop,
or a pasture. 1t excels as a hog pas
ture, and, with hogs, makes one of
the most profitable farm combinations.

Alfalfa does best when sown alone.
Many failures are due to sowing it
with oats or barley. These take so
much water from the soil that the al

To the Editor Daily Capital Journal;
In the issues of your paper of the
1lth, 18th and 18th, you used much
space in attacking and attempting to
belittle one of Oregon g and the nation 8
best friends.
Carefully have read and :cread the
articles in an honest endeavor to divine
the motive, but without avail, unless it
be jealously on your part of his success
in life as compared to some others, or
Jealousy due to the nice reception given
him by the Portland people, and the
reference to him by the Portland papers
as the " Empire builder"
The Capital journal wants to know
the Empires he has builded.
He has aided Minnesota in his net
work of roads. His roads spread out
over Montana and Wyoming and across
Northern Idaho, thereby opening these
states to homestead settlers, and has
brought the lands and their products
nearer good markets. When his roads
reached Portland, that fact alone help

the state of Oregon, and as soon as the
Panama canal is completed, will be OF
advantage to the people Of New York,
in furnishing better markets and better
facilities; and to Portland merchants
alone, opened great territory for
trade The coming of the Oregon Elec-
trio aided Salem in giving it two rail
road systems. 1t aided all the people
in the valley.
In making these statements, would
not for one moment detract from the
benefit brought to the state by the
Southern Pacific. 1t is a great rail.

lifetime was at its head was not only
a great man from railroad point of
view, but he was big and broad from
national standpoint; and / also think
the Southern Pacific, under its present
management, is Of untold benefit to the
people of Oregon, and except for the
influence of such articles as those that
am referring to recently published
in your paper, could be of greater ben

Mr.. Hill make any the less greatfor

don't you do it3 Do it in such way
that extravagances will cease, and, per-
haps long-suffering public win take

after all, the owning of ones own

your own walleti We are all more or
less selfish, but along with our own
selfish notions can usually be found
something of public good in all of us,
if close search is made, and so with
Mr.. Hill, or while endeavoring to make
a good Investment for himself he aided
ten thousand others to do likewise, and
brought benefits to several millions,
and among other things, gave The Cap
ital Journal something to write about
though the opportunity was very badly
abused.
The Capital Journal seems to think
that Mr.. Hill owns 100000 acres in Greg
on, and on this should reduce the price
dare say Mr.. Hill does not own one
acre of the 100000; but presume others,
along with his son do, and these acres
now are far from transportation facil-
ities, and win only be made available by
large expenditures of money.
viii you put up the immediate cost
to bring these acres closer to the intend
ing settler, and make them desirable

am frank to say, | hope the Hills
will make good money on the purchase
of these lands, for then they will have
more money to invest in other worthy
enterprises that the people desire de
veloped; but you, judging from your
articles, would like to see the Hills 60
broke.
The Southern Pacific, which has
large holdings in Oregon, is of vast ben
eft to Salem, and you do not make
that system of any greater benefit tC
your people by belittling those who
iown other properties there. | know
there are some who imagine they grow
lgreater as others are pulled down.
doubt the correctness of that theory
Your attacks on Mr.. Hill, instead Of
aiding Salem, only tend to hurt Salem
and do not increase the influence o.
lyour paper for good.
Your newspaper space is too valuable
for the use you put it to.
