START. NoW-soW ALFALFA
Use Plenty Manure Prepare Ground
Well In Spring, Red River Valley
Adapted to Alfalfa Growing.

BY J. 3. MARTIN, Hamilton, N. D.
The most important essential IN
growing alfalfa is to make up your
mind to grow it. Then if you are
blessed with one of those big piles of
manure that we see so much of in
North Dakota, spread it on a well
drained field, pillow deep in the fall,
cultivate well in the spring, and SOW
the last Of May. Inoculate if posi-
sible. If you cannot, don't hesitate to
SOW anyway. Sweet milk will Soul
quicker by putting sour milk into it,
but make the conditions right and it
will SOU on it's own account. The
same applies to alfalfa in reference
to incubation.
moved here from Jefferson county,
Illinois, last April. I had grown alfal-
ia there in a small way three years
with good success, by applying lime
rock-used no incubation. My dairy
COWS greatly preferred alfalfa to the
hest clover. l think the Red River
valley has a great future in alfalfa,
cows. and hogs.

lNNocULArIoN PROFITABLE
Six to Seven Tons Per Cutting-Thre0
Cuttings a Year-Montana Grows
Seed Best.

BY DONALD STILL, HOPE, N. D.
If a person had his land we'll pre-
pared and clean he ought to raise a
good crop of alfalfa. On ours the pc.
tato burrows and vines prevented it
from working down good. We did
not %inoculate when we seeded as we
did not understand what good it did,
but we will do so next spring, putting
in the bacteria soil with a drill. Two
of my brothers have a field Of three
acres that is said to be the best In the
country. They get from six to seven
tons to the cutting On the three acres.
They have had two crops this year
and will cut again within a week, Civ.
ing it plenty of time to make a good
growth before winter. They sowed
broadcast.
They stacked the hay this year and
part Of it spoiled. The next time they
stacked, they put a covering Of ordi-
nary hay over ii to keep it from spoil
ing. I have read many articles on the
raising of alfalfa, but none say how
to put it up. I believe that il it was
put up the same as other hay it would
spoil. We are thinking of euitiyating
some next year. According to the lee,
lures at the farm boys ercampment at
Grand Forks, Montana, alfalfa is the
best for North Dakota, but I know Of
40 sesd Of that kind around here.

What Would You Do If The
Mail Order House Was Supreme?

Imagination rules the world, said
Napoleon. The faculty of magma
ton is the great spring Of human ac-
tivity, and the principal source Of hu
man improvement. AS it delights in
presenting to the mind scenes and
characters more perfect than we are
acquainted with it prevents us from
ever being completely satisfied with
our present condition or past attain
nents, and engages us continually in
the pursuit of some untrded enjoy
ment, or some ideal excellence. Des-
troy this faculty and the condition of
man will become as stationary as that
Of the animals.
1t is the divine attribute Of the
imagination that when the real world
is shut out it can create a world for
itself, and with a necromatic power
can c%onjure up glorious shapes and
forms and brilliant visions to make
solitude populous and irradiate the
gloom of dungeons.
To better exemplify the range and
possibilities of the human imagine
tion, we will give a little "Imalgn-
ary" conversation which took place
in a cozy cottage of John and Mary
West on a recent evening.

POLICY HOLDERS
BIC BORROWERS

New York, Jan. 20-ln an cndeavor
to ascertain the causes of the rapid
increase in mortgages OIL life insur-
apce policies in recent years, the AS
ISOLATION of Life Insurance Presidents
has segregated by state lines $780,
10000 loans outstanding to policy
holders at the end Of 1911. This in
vestigation, which has just been fin
ished, shows that the policy holders
Of certain recognized groups Of states
are much larger borrowers on their
life insurance than are the people OF
other sections. Those credited with be
ing the smallest borrowers are til.
people Of tho Central Northern states
! the loans in that section amounting
to l3.49 per cent of the reserves main
tanned to pay the policies OF that
section upon their maturity. 1t is
stated that the largest borrowers are
the people Of the Pacific Coast see
ton, the policy loans there being 90
90 per cent Of the reserves. The
average for the Unitedn States for
the same year, 1911, was 1898 per
cent. The reserves from which this
sum Of $456, OOO, 900 was borrowed
amounted to $2,s53,O0O 1000. These
figures and percentages are based Oh
the United States business Of Ameri-
can companies holding So per cent Of
the total assets of the life insurance
companies of this country in 1911.
Much more than half a billion dol
lars of life insurance protection will
be lost to widows, orphans and other
beneficiaries as a result Of the policy
loans now outstanding, according to
the Associations report giving the re
suits of the investigation. 1t is de-
clared that experience shows that a
large proportion Of the insurance pro
lection withdrawn by policy loans is
never replaced, the money being in
vested elsewhere or wasted.
In making the report public, Gener
al Counsel Robert Lynn Cox Of the
association said thatl no conclusions
are stated in it. "The figures, which
speak for themselves as to the extent
and distribution Of the policy loan
practice, dre presented to the Ameri
can people," he said, Gin the hope Of
stimulating a study of the underly
ing reasons for the recent large ex
pansion. in such loans and the pre-
sentation Of remedies therefor"
It was pointed out at the recen
Seventh Annual Convention of the as
ISOLATION that these mortgages on lif
insurance policies had increased fror
l 3 1-3 per cent of the reserves in 1888
to 1903 per cent in 1912 and prob
ably would reach IS per cent at tn
end Of 1918. The total reserves i
1912 amounted to about three and on
half billion dollars.
