FARM. STOCK AND DAIRY Jors

Good roads broaden our sympathy, les
sen distanceand increase our useful
ness. But The pretense at good roads
as practiced on many of the highways
of this section has the effect of Great
ing i'll nature with those who travel
them. What is the sense of overeers
blowing up a fairly good road, piling all
the hunks of sod and stones in pro-
miscuous mass in the center, going
away and compelling the public to drive
in siding bitches all season? A drag
ging and leveling up would put that
piece of road in good shape if done i'm
mediately after it has been plowed and
followed by another dragging after the
first rain. Do men who do that sort of
road damage know that they are per-
sonally liable for any accident that may
occur by reason of such work? Do they
know that they are liable to fine for
leaving roads in that condition even ov-
er night?

Go!Qotha.

The one spot which more than any
other has controlled the history OF
Europe lies, strangely enough, not in
Europe itself, but In Asia. For the
possession of the site where Christ
suffered, was buried and rose again
more blood has been shed than for
any other. An immense number OF
lives were laid down during the Cru
sades; and for 600 years before the
Crusades, and even to the present
time. a constant stream Of pilgrims
has poured into Jerusalem to worship
at the spot made sacred by the cruel
fixion of Christ.
From the fourth century after
Christ until fifty years ago this site
was generally conceded to be within
the Church of the Holy Sepulchre'
Now two sites dispute the claim OF
being the actual Golgotha. The latter
claimant is known as "Gordon's Cal

Morrison went to the map of-~Bel-

CHAPTER Viii.

When Wright reached his Office the
attorney, Arthur Morrison, waiting for
him. He had been drawn to Morrison
the first time he had met him and
had asked him to take care of the pa
per's legal business. In this his judg-
ment had not been warped by sud
den friendship, for the young lawyer
was worthy of his confidence. Like
Judge Gilbert, he had risen from an
humble home. but unlike the adviser
of Belmont corporations he had made
his way independently of the malign
influences which constantly seem to
seek to attract young men of talent
who follow the law as a profession.
To him both as his legal adviser and
his friend, Wright had talked freely
and had rejoiced to learn that Morr-
sons ideals and hopes for Belmont
were the same as his own.
Even If you hadn't asked me to

North Dakota is, and will be for
many years, largely a grain growing
state. 1t is only the truth to say that
as long as grain growing is SO exclu-
sive, North Dakota can not expect to
become a wealthy state. If we are
satisfied to sell our raw products. such
as the grains, w must be content to
see outsiders manufacture such prod
ucts at a profit greater than comea
to the original grower.
However, as long as we are grow
ing grains, we should do the work an
well as possible. One Of the very Inn
portant things in the growing of grains
certainly is the seed that is used.
With poor seed, greatly decreased
crops will result, in comparison with
the use Of good seed.

ALFALFA IN THE EAST.

u IL the Best For The Clay Soils Of Our
Eastern States.
There are undoubtedly as wide diff
ferencesh types OF alfalfa as IN types
OF corn ana potatoes. These variations
lie in the general hardness Of the
plant. the point from which the buds
start from the crown ind the system
of the root growth. All these factors
naturally affect the quantity and quail
ity Of the top, which makes the forage.
R. r. Stevens in the Country Cen
tleman.
One Of the principal reasons for the
many failures with alfalfa in the east
is that the seed is not adapted to the
climate or the soil. Alfalfa seed ma
lures more readily in a drought; conse-
.quently 1t is largely produced In the
irrigated regions of the west and south
west. where the water content Of the
soil is more nearly under control and
where the deep, porous, loamy subsoil
provides ideal conditions for a root
system containing a single taproot
Much Of our seed comes therefore from
a latitude south Of that where 1t is to
be. grown. ,5 ssi
The main point of difference in the
various types Of alfalfa is in root struc-
ture. In all kinds there is a tendency
