every spring and heavily fertifized
with well rotted COW manure. This
should he worked into the soil and
during the first part OF the season
the ground should be frequently
stirred. With the advent Of the hot
weather the rose bed should be heay-
lily mulched with old leaves or with
clippings from the lawn. Roses do
best when the soil is kept as cool as
possible. clay loan soil is prefer
able to sandy one. but under all
conditions soil drainage Is required.
In order TO obtain the best blossoms
1t is desirable to reduce the number
of buds to one or two on each shoot.
for If too many are permitted to grow
and develop they will be inferior and
are apt to become deformed. as the
plant can not supply sufficient nour-
ishment for all the buds formed. The
grower should aim to produce not n
large number of flowers, but flowers
OF superior merit
Roses in cold climate require win
ter protection and this can be provid-
ed for by tying some straw around
the base of the bushes and a gunny
sack outside of the straw to hold It
In place. though II they are trimmed
back considerably covering OF
leaves or rubbish held down with
sticks or pieces of board will serve
the purpose. II not covered the BUSH
es are apt to kill back close to the
ground. thus leaving no old who'd
from which new growth can start ana
a seasons crop of flowers is apt to
be lost; besides, the rose bushes are
considerably weakened by the cold.
The growing OF rose bushes is not
necessarily professional work. for
they are easy to grow and with a
little attention no family need be with
out them.-B p. Sandsten. Colorado

A Little More About Alfalfa.

In growing alfalfa in this arid re-
gion it will be found that moisture in
the subsoil is as essential as the mois-
ture for termination to insure a good
stand II the subsoil is dry the irri-
cation must be applied soon after
seeding but it is better to do 1t prev
iously. Seed only well prepared,
settled seed bed. Loose, newly
ploughed soil is a hazardous risk un-
less the soil is Immediately settled
by heavy rains or irrigation. Sow al
falfa seed early II the moisture Ia
available II not slap on the water
or 80 wat the season when there is
the greatest prospect for moisture
from rains.
Sow alfalfa seed shallow-not more
than one inch deep. Broadcasting
followed by narrowing is usually a
successful method IL moisture is pres
ent, as II most usually is In the pres
ent favorable season. A pressshoe-
drill seeding about an inch In depth
is an ideal method of seeding for hay
production. Sow northern acclimated
strains of alfalfa. The Arabian and
any of the tropical strains OF alfalfa
are not hardy In Colorado although
the people in the San Luis valley have
become stuck on the Turkestan and
have just imported five carloads Of

History of Former Wars with Mexie.

History of Former Wars with Mexico
The first war of the United States
with Mexico was brought on directly
by the annexation of Texas, but back
of that was a great many other trou-
bles. Mexico had been an unjust and
injurious neighbor from the day it
adopted republican form of govern
ment in 1924. Impoverished by the
civil wars which had proceeded to the
establishment of this government, the
country was greatly impoverished and
did not hesitate to plunder American
shipping in the gulf and confiscating
the property of American merchant
men. The United Safes demonstrated
in vain. In 1881 a treaty was made
between the two countries in which
it was agreed that this sort of thing
would be stopped. However, Mexico
did not keep its ford. Robberies
continued until 1910 until the total
amounted to over $4,000, 900 and Texas
was taken by the United States in
satisfaction of this claim.
Being fully aware of the hostile feel
1S45, sent General Zack Taylor, then
in command of the army, to go to Tex
as and take a position near the Rio
Grande. This force of about 1900 was
called Inc Army of Occupation for the
defense of Texas. At the same time
a strong naval command under Com
modore Conner sailed for the Gulf of
Mexico to protect American shipping.
In September of that year Beneral
Taylor formed camp at Corpus
Christi and there remained until
January 13, 1846 when he moved that
camp to a point opposite the Mexi-
can town of Matamoras where a large
number of Mexican troops were sta
toned. This was disputed territory
and Taylor was warned that he was
on foreign ground.
Leaving this point with about 450 men
In charge, Taylor abandoned TO the
Rio Grande and began the erection of
Ft. Brown. President Herrera of
Mexico was anxious for peace with
the United States, but not so the
people, and SO Herrera was deposed
and General Paredes elected in his
place The new president sent Cen
eral Ampudta with large force to
drive the Americans beyond the
Neucos. April 12 Ampudia ordered
Taylor to withdraw. Taylor refused,
continuing to strengthen Ft. Brown.
The Mexican army was strongly rein
forced and the situation became criti.
cal.
On April "a a party Of American
soldiers were captured and Captain
Thornton killed. On May 3, after
Taylor with q force had left FIT. Brown
