healthy and thrifty, and we have

In all his work. Mr.. Bierwagen
has a most efficient helper in his
intelligent and enthusiastic wife.
She is heart and soul in the work
of building a real farm home here:
the firm foundations Of which are
already laid
In one of the cosiest locations
imaginable and surrounded with
native trees is Il cOmtOrtab
roomy home larger than the ac-
comranying picture would indj-
cate. 1t stands on Il rather steep
incline on the side Of a deep ravlne
and is indeed picturesque. The
farm buildings are all sheltered
by trees and hills and along the
hillside flows the clear running ir-
riyation ditch that keeps plant life
green and thriving despite dry
winds and weather. We find a
splendid garden. and with it small
fruit in plenty. Mrs. Bierwagen is
especially proud Of her garden,
and ius,ly SO. hut she takes sup

new variety of grape seems to he
as hardy as the native wild grape
aud is nearly equal in size and
quality to the old standard Con
cord. 1t is a variety that should
be universally planted throughout
the northwest.
The Bierwagens have another
ranch that is located on the Chey-
enne and is under irrigation with
a ten inch centrifugal pump. Here
much alfalfa is grown, but our
limited time did not permit us to
visit this ranch. We spent very
pleasant and profitable day and
evening at the Bierwagen home.

Russia.
These two imported sorts, how
ever, show up well in compari-
son with some Of the other much
talked about varities from the
far east. They are fairly up
right growers and under similar
treatment would probably yield
about as we'll as the native sort.
The Bierwagen demonstration
would certainly not make any
sane man go "dippy" over Sibe-
rian or Russian alfalfa and, with
all his experimenting. Bierwagen
himself has settled in his own
mind the idea that no alfalfa
known to him possesses the desir-
able qualities of the native alfalfa
that has proven itself within the
state for the past quarter of CEN
tury. When put side by side un-
der exactly similar treatment the
best strains of Dakota alfalfa are
absolutely unexcelled in the opin-
ion of Mr.. Bierwagen. and this
opinion is shared in by practically
everyone who has tried the matter
out or who has observed the trials
of others. Every man knows and
appreciates the fact that trans

type were forced under. these con
ditions to develop spreading
root system.
Much of the alfalfa growing on
the Hierwagen place was estab-
lishei on native sod without plow
ing. This is "A common practice
in the west river country where
water is available for irrigation
and results in splendid stands and
good yields.
A good deal of attention is Civ
en- here to the production of alfalfa
seed. and MIR. Bierwagen finds it
one OF the most profitable of his
farming operations. The demand
for good South Dakota seed is con-
stantly growing and will doubtless
continue to do SO for many years.
This section is especially adapted
to the production of the choicest
seed and its value is now generally
appreciated the country over.
Mr.. Bierwagen has found rea-
per to be the best implement to
harvest alfalfa for hay. His ex-
perience with the reaper is similar
to others we met in that section.
All who have tried it seem to pre-
fer it to any other machine. 1t is
especially desirable where alfalfa
is grown in wide rows.

Denver.-Congressman Edward T.
Taylor pointed out to the House OF
Representatives how Colorado boys
have been making good" at Annap-
oils Naval Academy. He said:
Il had the pleasure of visiting the
United States Naval Academy at Ann
apolis and attending the graduating
exercises of the class of 1914.
THAT class started four years ago
with 2S1 members and graduated only
l54. There were three Colorado boys
In the class. and all three of them were
within the ten honor graduates OF the
class
"Midshipman Edward Ellsberg, of
Denver graduated with the highest
honors and was the first one to be pre-
sented with his diploma by President
Woodrow Wilson. Young Ellsberg not
only graduated at the head or the
class of 1914, but he led his class dur
Ing the entire four years course and
was the honor man at the end of each
year. In addition to the distinction OF
making the highest record in scholar
ship during the entire four years, he
won several very highly priced med
ais. He won the splendid silver cup
annually donated by the Daughters of
the American Revolution for the one
In each graduating class who attains
the highest proficiency in seamanship
and International law. He also won
the honorary prize Of a navigating sex
tant presented annually by Col. r. M.
Thompson, Of the class of '6S, for the
highest proficiency in navigation. Also
medal for fencing, another for the
championship in dueling, and two or
three others for the best English es
say work.
Another boy, Midshipman Freder
lex e. Pelton OF Denver stood fourth
In the class one year, fifth another,
sixth another, and graduated eighth in
the class.
Il am supremely proud to say to the
House that those two Colorado boys
were my first appointments to Annap-
oils. They were the two highest in
competitive examination which held
during my first term in Congress.
"The other Colorado boy that grad
uated with honors was Abraham Mar
ron, also of Denver, appointed by the
late Senator Charles j. Hughes, Jr.
His standing was ninth in the class.
believe am safe in saying that no
state In this union has ever equaled
this record, It speaks we'll for our
school system and is an Inspiration to
the youth of our state. Colorado Is
proud Of these boys, and they are en-
titled to this mention and this record,
because the course at that academy is
most awfully hard work.
"By reason Of their rank, Midship-
man Ellsberg was allowed to select
his ship, and he chose the new battle
ship Texas, while, understand,
young Pelton and Marion chose the
battleship Maryland, to which they
will be assigned.
"This is the first time in the history
of our state that Colorado has carried
off the highest honors at Annapolis.
Some twenty-five years ago Gen. Irv-
Ing Hale from Colorado was the honor
man at West Point, and he has been a
credit to our state ever since; and l
am confident that these three Colo
RADIO boys will likewise during the fu.
ture years be an honor to our country,
to the Navy, and to the Centennial
