of the seed. The*# settlers found alfalfa more profitable than digging for gold, and thus the crop got its first successful Introduction Into the United States. It so happened that It was again planted on an alkaline soil in a seml-arld region. Prom California the crop worked east through Utah, Colo rado, Kansas and Nebraska until It came to the humid climatee near the Mississippi River. Here It flopped and it took some time before farmers of this section learned to grow It with success. However, after learning that lime and inoculation were needed, together with proper drainage, the crop was eventually taken across the Mlssitslppi River and brought east throughout the eastern Slates until we now have the crop established in practically every State In the Union. Records show that the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station started to grow alfalfa on the College inn In the very beginning of its de•opment in 1886. experimenting with methods ci seeding, whether broadcasting or s.eding in rows and cultt rating would give the better growth. The result oftalned at that time showed that the crop was most successful when broadcasted rather than seeded In rows and cultivated.

Alfalfa, Through Scientific Study and Cultivation, Becomes Important Crops By Frank’App, Head of Department of Agronomy and Farm ^Management, New Jersey Agricultural College and Experiment Station

Alfalfa has become a permanent farm crop in New Jersey. As a result of its superior yields, its high feeding value, and Its ability to produce 5 to 5 /ears from one seeding, it Is now being grown in all parts of the State of agricultural import an c*- The condition-i necessary for its successful growing are now being met by the farmers. One by one the secrets have been unlocked until now we have grow err. in the State who raise alfalfa on the same scale as any other farm crop. It grows under wider difference of soil and climatic conditions than most farm crops, and therefore its spread and increased acreage is well merited and is bound to cunttnue. In 1909 the census for New Jersey showed 1386 acres of alfalfa. In 191? there were about 15.000 acres in this legume, a remarkable increase for the eight years. It now remains for us to promote and direct the crop In Us

proper channels.

In order to refresh our minds, as to the advantages of alfalfa, let us n view its requirements and the place it should take on the l+rm. As a producer It Is superior to all the staple forage plants New Jersey has approximately SGMM acres of cultivate I nay. The yield for 1917 was 1.45 tons per acre. If we grew alfalfa on 150,000 acres of this land, we would have more and better hay than from 350.000 acres of timothy, clover snd mixed hay. | The remainder of the land could be used for other crops or for alfalfa tv sell. This would enlarge the farm business and place it on a more profl*-

able basis

History

Alfalfa 1» the oldest of all forage crops and its development is of interest because It points out some per;i nent pbssw essential for Us prodne lion So far as we know the plant very likely originated from southwest era As'a. throughout Persia and Arabia. About MO years before Christ the Persians .availed Greece, and they took with them alfalfa seec and grew the crop to feed their horses and cat tie. the latter being used for providing mmt from the armies Prom Greece the plant was next introduced into Rome and thenceforth throughout

various portions of Europe. From Spain it came *o America, probably in South America or Mexico. From

Mexico the plant spread to

New Mexico and California, and also in 1851 It came from Chili to California. marking the really important step

in alfalfa growing in America. B> tracing the development of th»

crop we find that it originated in a country which had a semi-arid cllmai? and alkaline soils. It was introduced into Greece on limestone soils and from Italy to Spain on limestone solla and throughout Europe wherever lime stone soils existed, until It was brought

America, where it was again Intro-

duced into that part of America whicn has * semi-arid dimate and alkaline soils. The first introduction into the United States was in the thirteen original colonies, among which were Nov York State. Virginia. North Cari*Una and probably others. However, the introduction into the colonies was never successful because the people

that time did not appreciate the

fi-c* that alfalfa needs a well drained alkaline soil before it can be made a successful crop. History' tells us that George Washington grew it to some extent on his estate at Ml. Vernon, while Thomas Jefferson likewise grew H on hie estate. Robert Livingston in New York and many others were experimenting with this crop during |this period of our agricultural developj ni-’ot Our records show that the New Brunswick Times in 1813 printed a letter written by a New Jersey . farmer, in which he cited the super iority of alialfa as a forage crop and

described the method necessary for i successful growth. This man recoi mended 1C to 20 pounds of seed p acre: about the same iji we are usii

at the present time, but he did rot understand that lime wi» needed to make the crop successful in most case; or that inoculation wa« necessary to

insure it* getting a good foothold. In 1847. at the time of the discovery

of gold in Oallnfornia. the settlers from the eastern part of the United State;: wont by the way of Cape Horn to California. On the way. they stopped at Chili and some of them, seeing the alialfa growing, took with them some

Horse is Stung to Death by Bees Lafayette. Ind.—Thousands of angiv bees stung a horse to death at the home of Nelson Carter, at Shawnee Mound, south of here. Several church en were kept prisoners in the carter dwelling for three hours. The women had ai sembled from miles around for a meeting of the home and foreign missionaries societies of the Shawnee Mound Methodist Episcopal Church. Mrs. Jesse Hawthorne and Mrs. Ray Hawthorne made the trip to the Carter home In a buggy drawn by a valuable horse owned by the former. They hitched the hors-? tree near some bee hives, paying no attention to the few bees that wore flying about Soon, however, the numbe.- of be&i about them Increased. The horse wa* stung, and attempted to bolt, but was held fast by the h'tch strap. Then more bees appeared and the women cried for help. The animal was soon literally covered with the Insects. A* tempts were made to unhitch thi horse, but the bees attacked ©veryoni who approached. The horse leaped into one of the bee hives, fell to grounc and tried to roll and stamp the bees away, but they swarmed about him more thickly than ever. veternarian was called and built bonfires In an effort to smoke the bees out. The horse died In few minutes. The animal's body was nearly half again its normal size oy the time he died. Several of the women, and men at •ell. who were called to assist them, were stung by the bees and required medical treatment. The Rev. J Evers, pastor of the church, was badlv slung. He was stung twelve times i the head and neck. After the bees had killed the horse, the women fled into the h-wsr The bees swarmed abot* the place and red the sides of the building. It was evening before the women could emerge with safety and return to their

homes.

Try Gasoline Substitutes in England (Consul H. C Claiborne. London.) The high prices and Increased demand for gasoline have led to experiments in England for a suitable substitute motor fuel. Recent tests carried out by the Loudon General OmOlbus Company appear to have resulted In interesting conclusions of ultarian haracter. while the British Governnent Is now conducting wide researches to discover a liquid fuel that 'IU combine satisfactory features from both a scientific and a practical

viewpoint.

Some time ago omnibuses were successfully run in Paris on a mixture of benzol and alcohol. Benzol being coal-tar product resulting from frai tionai distillation and usually extracted ■washed** from ct sd or household gas. the supplies of benzol are depend ent on the supplies of bituminous cool snd habitually contingent on the good will of gas companies. However, the alcohol used is extracted from vege table matter, and consequently there is no limit to the available supply The experiments have therefore con temp'ated a liquid fuel containing as largo a proportion of alcohol as possible. Neverthelees, it appe neither benzol nor alcohol burns so quickly e gasoline, and the mixture necessitates the structural modification of the ordinary gasoline

engine.

Relative Efficiency and Cost j The workshop and road experiments I carried out by the London General Omnibus Company, with a mixture ->f

benzol and a’cohol in equal proportions, resulted In an efficiency as compared with gasoline of 12.5 to 15. The experiments in the workship are said have dealt successfully with con - presslon. carburetor setting, snd beat ing of Induction pipes. An analysis of the exhaust gases showed no unceesumed carbon monoxide. On the road tests It Is reported that stoppages took place owing to congestion of the carburetor Jets and deposit m the induction pipes. Various mixtures of the two fuels were used, but the 60 per cent mixture proved the most satisfactory, although it impaired the engine to some extent. The chief engineer of the London General Omnibus Comapny states with regard to the comparative costs th.it the number of British thermal units produced per penny (5 cents) by gasoline are 6,050 and by 50 per cent mixture 5,000: the cost per mile show. d a difference in favor of the former of one-fifth of a penny (0.04 cent). Further Inver .igation:. ot benzol alcohol in equal proportion* give 6.03 mller to the gallon for the mixture and 7 19 with gasoline. The advocates of ben-zol-alcohol claim that the results have proved the efficiency of liquid fuels based on alcohol, and further tests are to be made with a mixture of alcoil and ether. Special Engine Used The conclusions arrived at as a result of these experiments are thus summed up: The salient points arising from tae Investigations that are now complete are that the possible thermal efficiency increases with the Increased proportion of alcohol in the fuel for the same compression; that a high proportion of alcohol means also tluu the compression can be raised with a consequent rise in the thermal efficiency: and that, so far as the engine is con eerned, the bad effects on valve pock ro more marked at small throttle openings with high than with low con • presslon. The successful tests were carried at in omnibuses fitted with special engines, having pistons that gave a compression of about 123 pounds per square inch, while the induction pipes were heatrd and the carburetors were fed with hot air. Another consideration has been to overcome the effect of the acid from the mixture on the pistons, and satistactory use in this direction has been made of an addition to the mixture of ammonia nitrate. The Importance of a home-produced motor fuel as an alternative to or substitute for gasoline is receiving in creasing attention, and scientific investigation under governmental im petus has given adi" ionial Interest to this matter. The E.roctor General. Roads Department. Ministry of Transport, recently announced that. 40,000 motor vehicles from the Western front had been absorbed by the industry' of this country and that there were now 750,000 .ueclJinically-propelled vehicles on the roads of Great Britain.

Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford Has Nothing on this Guy Started With a Shoestring and Cleared Up $8,000,000 In a Few Weeks

Boston. Maas.—Starting It with a 'shoestring'' and cleaning up IS.OOO. 100 In a few short weeks, all in a perfectly legitimate manner and in a way that was open to anybody bright enough to seize the opportunity, reads bit like wizardry. Yet that is what has been done by Cahrles Ponzl. an Italian resident of this city. Ponzl admits that he stumbled on the scheme by accident. He simply buys international coupons, which are exchangeable Into stamps, taking care to buy where the rate* oi exchange are such that fl of American currency is really worth $4 oi more. By so doing he gets $4 or more for every dollar he Invests snd Is able pay his client s 50 per cent In fortyfive days on their money. It all sounded so much like ''gold from salt water" and such other get-rich-quick schemes that the Federal and State authorities started to investigate. The more they Investigated the more they became convinced that It was absolutely legitimate, said con viction leading more than one of them put in money and reap the reward of big returns. In fact, nobody has yet discovered how It is possible to lose. Mr. Pouzi'* offices are crowded dally by hundred.*-. e»ger to Invest their money. He has offices scattered all er New England and la bout to open others In New York and other big cities. Here Is how Mr. Ponzl explains the plan: 1 buy International coupons In great lot*—by the hundreds of thou sands, by the millions," he said, "and exchange them for postage stamps. "The Idea came to me last A’lgu't, when I was contemplating issuing an export publication. 1 had written to a person in Spain in relation to my proposed publication and in reply received an international coupon which I was to exchange for United States postage stamps with which to send a copy of the publication. •Well, the eou.on in Spain cost approximately the equivalent of one cent in United States money. 1 could g«* six cents In stamp* for that coupon here, understand by the Imernatlonnl postal agreement the coupon is issued as a convenience. 1 looked the coupon over. 1 thought about its value on this side of the Atlantic and its value on the other side. 1 said to myself, 'If I can buy one of

They were one and all perfectly willing u accept his personal note as their only < security. The crowd became so excited snd unruly that It was deemed advisable to send in a police call to keep it within bounds. Droves of people flocked to the offices. 27 School street, ail day. The swirling, seethlnr, gestulating. jabbering throng so filled hallways that a call for police was sent in to handH the crowd. It was found necessary to guard the street door and hold people in the street until those inside had left their money and departed. To add to the excitement, a rival opened for business next door and had a ballyho man shouting to clients "Right this way.” A new million dollad company. Pays you 50 per cent in forty-five days. Absolutely on the level. We do It with Internationa! reply cospons." Although a new Federal Investigitlon of the company's methods Is under way It does not appear to have the slightest effect In checking eager Investor*.
