HISTORY OF ALFALFA PLANT

Alfalfa is a very old plant. 1t was

carried it from Greece to Rome. Pliny,
the Roman naturalist, who lived the
first century after Christ tells of its
value.
1t was probably taken from Rome
to Carthage and the surrounding ter
ritory, and from there to Spain about
700 A. ID. From Spain 1t was carried
to France, to Belgium and England.
1t was esteemed in England when Co

SEVEN DUTCH SHIPS SUNK.
German SubIlarines Send Grain OBats
to Bottom.

The Hague, Feb. 24.-(Via LondonO
Consideration was caused here by
the announcement Of the torpedoing
and sinking by German submarines Of
seven Dutch cargo vessels, two Of
which, the Noorderdijk and the Zaan
dix, grain laden and bound for a
home port, belonged to the Holland
American line.
Two others, the Eemland and the
Gaastcrland, were cnroute for the
United States for grain, while the ia
catra also was grain laden. The Ban
doeng was coming from the Dutch
East Indies with Il cargo Of piece
goods. All the vessels left -------
(probably Falmouth Feb %, it hav-
ing been given to understand by the
German authorities that the date
would be relatively safe" the so
called safe period for neutral ships
sailing from British ports which orig
! inally expired February s, having
bccn extended at the request Of the
Dutch government.
The ships sunk aggregate moro
than 10000 tons.
The foreign ministry today made
the following announcements:
"Whcn unrestricted submarine war
4 fare was proclaimed, the Netherlands
government not only protested against
it., but insisted that the German gov
eminent should take care that no
| Dutch ships then on route to or from
| Dutch ports should be victims Of the
new measure. Germany declared he!
willingness to do this, but added that
! 1t was impossible to guarantee abso-
lutte safety"
The statement says further that tho
seven ships which have been torpc-
| docd vailed themselves of German
offer to sail on February %. The!
were 10 sail together on westerly
course out Of the danger zone ant

LEADERS ARE BENDING EVERY
EFFORT TO GET BIG LEGIsLA.
rION THROUGH.
DO NOT WISH EXTRA SESSION
All Else Must Give Way to Appropria.
tIons and Measures Relating to Ma.
tlonal Defense.-To Hasten Action.

Washington.-With the end of the
S1xtyfourth Congress but two weeks
off, Administration leaders are concen.
trating their energies to the enactment
OF revenue and national defense legis
lation. Much long.pending general
legislation every one recognizes must
give way to appropriations and meaN
ures that relate TO the preparations
Of the Nation for eventualities which
may grow out OF the diplomatic breach
with Germany.
In the Senate the revenue and
naval bills are to be given the right
antlconspiracy bill, now under con.
stderation, is out Of the way. Tho
House will pass the Army appropria-
tion within few days, and then devote
It's attention to the sundry civil and
general deficiency appropriations.
What emergency legislation may be
enacted before adjournment depends
entirely upon the decision Of the Pres.
ident. Many believe he will communi.
cate within a few days his plans for
handling the international crisis Pre-
Congress for authority to use tho
armed forces Of the Nation for the
protection OF American seamen and
American is OIL the high seas, not
with the ,ose Of making war, but
to open the sea to shipping.
To Hasten Action.
While waiting the next step, what
ever 1t may be, the Senate is deter.
mined to hasten action on the revenue
bill. the naval appropriation bill
amended by the naval affairs commit.
tee to carry s533 100000, an increase
Of $165,O00,O0O over the House bill,
and the Army appropriation bill. In
addition to these measures, the ship.
ping bill, urged by the shipping board,
extending the powers Of the Govern.
ment to control commercial shipping,
Is Of paramount interest.
Whether there will be time for pas.
sage Of railroad labor legislation and
other general bills, in view Of tho
congestion Of essential measures, Is
seriously doubted by leaders Of both
parties 1t has been determined to
proceed with the most urgent matters
regardless OF the possibility Of an
extra session, and there Is confidence
that all the appropriation measures
except possibly the rivers and harbrs
bill, can be enacted by March 4.

Whshington.-Orde were issued
by the war department directing Gen.
eral Funston to begin tho immediate
rehabilitation Of all the guard units
remaining in border camps, and 1t Is
expected that the last troop train will
be on It's way north by March 7.
General Funston will have on tho
border nearly $4,000 regular troops
disposed along the line from Browns
Vile to Yuma, Ariz., on plans worked
out by the general staff.
Secretary Baker emphasized that
the withdrawal Of the state troops is In
no way connected with the crisis with
Germany. but carries out a policy de.
termincd to long ago. The order was
issued after General Funston had re.
ported that he had enough regulars to
meet any border exigencies that might
arise. Many guard units already had
been ordered home during the past few
weeks, and the number OF guardsmen
remaining and to be demobolized un.
der the order IS about $4,000.
Administration officials are under.

thereis little possibility Of recur-

MILK AT BEST TEMPERATURE
Fifty Degrees Is Desirable for Several
Reasons Bacteria Won't Multiply
So Readily.

1t is desirable, where possible, to
cool the milk Immediately after milk
ing. a temperature Of 50 degrees is
desirable for several reasons. The
bacteria present in the milk will not
multiply so readily as in high temper
aturc, and an increase in bacterial
number will sour the milk rapidly.
We can readily see that quick cooling
turo Will prevent or ut least delay
Souring for Il considerable time.
