MADAM POINCAIRE.
From the Pathfinder.

From the Pathfinder.
Nine Poincaire, wife of the presl-
dent of France, is at present a nota-
BILE figure in the eyes of the people of
that country, who are recalling the
romantic circumstances of her mar
riage to NJ. Poincaire. The latter,
while a young and by no means dis
tinguished lawyer, met and fell in
love with the charming daughter OF
a rich family. Alas for the young
mans hopes, however, the stern pa
rents of the girl demanded settle
ment of 100000. Instead of weakly
giving up and allowing some richer
man to win her the plucky young
man asked only for time-five years.
Applying himself assiduously to his
profession he succeeded in accumu-
lating the required amount and so
winning the girl of his choice.
Nine. Poincaire has the charm, the
tact and the taste in dress that are
common to the women of France and
she has been the guiding star OF her
husbands career. In addition to her
other accomplishments she is an ad-
mirable housekeeper and looks after
the Elysee home-the presidential
mansion-much the same as she did
her own home.

ALFALFA PATCHES DOT STATE.

From the Savannah News.
More farmers in this state are ex-
perimenting with alfalfa than there
is generally known to be. Only those
who read the daily and weekly news
papers understand how generally this
experimentation is. Mention of al
falfa patches is made in the papers
of the counties in which the patches
are situated and the daily papers get
knowledge of them, as rule, in that
way.
In the course of the next few years
alfalfa will be one of the states i'm
portant crops if the many expert
ments that are now being made are
successful. There will be failures, of
course, because many of the expert
mentors are lacking in knowledge as
to the proper cultivation of alfalfa
or because they haven't followed di-
rections, but enough will succeed to
prove that alfalfa can be made a
great and profitable crop in Georgia.
When that knowledge is scattered
abroad land values will increase be-
cause of the states cattle raising pos
sibilities.
Ten years ago it would have been
difficult to get anybody in this coun-
ty to experiment with alfalfa, but it
is beginning to look as if very soon
there would be many alfalfa fields
in the county's limits. Last year we
had a good deal to say about Colonel
OLeary's alfalfa patch and this year
there is a five-acre patch of alfalfa on
the county farm that promises to
give alfalfa a boom in all this see
ton of the state. The first cutting,
which was made last week, will yield
at least a ton and quarter to the
acre, and at least three other cut
tings are expected. A yield, there
fore, of five tons to the acre wouldn't
be at all surprising.
With alfalfa a success Western
farmers will be coming to this and
other counties in this section to make
their homes. They will come here
just as they are going to Mississippi,
where thousands of acres, once Guilt
waited in cotton, are now given over
to alfalfa and cattle.
