bir Editor:--
send you for publication, some historal
notes on the early settlement of Monroe and
Northampton counties, which have extracted
from various works and ancient records and may
be interesting to some of your readers, though
very imperfect. A SUBSCRIBER.
When William Penn first visited his newly
purchased territory in 1852, he found the great
er portion occupied by that race of Indians
called by the whites, Delawares. and by them
selves, Lenni Lennape, or the original peopLe,
who had settled themselves on the four great
rivers, Hudson, Delaware, Susquehanna and
Potomac, making the Delaware the centre of
their possessions. They were divided into
three principal tribes; the UnamiS or Turtle
and the Unalachlgo or Turkey inhabited the
country towards the sea-cOast The Wolf or
AIlnsi called by the English the Monseys, were
the most warlIke of the three tribes and held
their council seat at the Minisinks, which at
that period included the country between the
Delaware Water Gap and Carpenters Point,
though the term is now confined 10 township
in Orange co. n. Y, bordering on the Delaware.
They extended themselves to the Hudson on
the East, 10 the Susquehanna on the South
West, TO the head waters Of the Delaware and
Susqueh4nna on the North and 10 that range oi
r1oGntains Low kRJwA or the name oi Lehigh
hills on the South-thus forming barrier be-
tween their tribe and the great and powerful
Six Nations, who inhabited the present State
of New York. Many subordinate tribes pro-
ceeded from these who received names general
ly from their places of residence. as the Ne
shaninies the Shackamaxlns, and the Fork In
dians who resided near the confluence of the
Ilehigh and Delaware. For many years
bloody war prevailed between the Deawares q
the Six Nations which terminated in most ex-
raordinary manner, and the details are given be-

The SnOW-bird.

From distant climes, which none can tell,
In dress of bright and changeful hue,
! greet the bird beloved so well,
When childhood's hours around me few.
Sure, though the northern storms may spend
Their fury over field and tree,
Their blasts are welcome, if they send
So gay visitant as thee.
/ care not that the laughing Spring
Its blue-bird messenger may own;
If winter be but sure to bring
The Snow-bird have always known.
How oft, in childhood's rainbow hours,
I've watch'd the at the window pane;
Hiding thee from the ruthless showers,
Til vernal airs shall breathe again
Oh! how my youthful eyes would strain,
Pursuing in my wayward track!
How oft I've spread the attractive grain
To bring thy wandering pinions back
Yes, gentle bird! | mind the time
Thou'st sported round my window-seat,
CThouhtless of evil, as Of crime,)
Pleased, it would seem, my face to greet
And feeding with confding stay,
On tiny crumbs l threw to thee
'Twere base, 'tyere cruel, 10 betray
bird that ne'er had injured me:
There breathes an everlasting Power,
Unknown, but felt-unseen, but heard;
He clothes each tree, HE tints each flower;
HIS arm projects my darling bird.
Let winter come with stormy voice;
Let snow-wreaths crown the highest hill;
He bids thee in the storm rejoice,
He sees, protects, and feeds the still.

CIRCULAR LETTER TO PLANTERS AMI
FARMERS.

CIRCULAR LETTER TO PLANTERS AND
FARMERS. &c.
We would respectfully call the attention Of those
interested in Agriculture, to the change which we
have made in the SOUTH CAROLINA TEN.
PERANCE ADVOCATE, the present Volume,
having dctermineito enlarge it, SO as to afford moro
room for Agricultural intelligence, and thus make it
more valuable paper 10 Planters and Farmers.
We think every intelligent Planter will admit,
that an Agricultural paper is needed in Columbia:
being central point in tho State, the Seat ofGo-
vernment and the place where the State Agricultu-
raj Society holds its Annual Meeting. There should
be an organ here for the State Society," 1t is how
ever, very difficult matter to get up paper devo-
ted exclusively to Agriculture, with sufficient
number of subscribers to sustain it. This has been
clearly shown, by the brief existence of the Caro-
lima Planter, though under an Editor of talents and
learning, and enriched as it was, by conmunica-
tions of numerous and intelligent correspondence
But the proposed change in the Temperance Advo.
cate will meet at the threshold this difficulty.
dS We ~ Ilc VI lllUSe WIN
cultural paper in Columbia, ready furnished list of
at least twenty-five hundred subscribers We offer.
too to enlarge paper, and devote half of it to
the interest of Planters and Farmers: and the a.
mount OF Agricultural intelligence contained in one
half of weekly paper of the size we have made
the Advocate, will, we think, be quite sufficient to
meet the wants and wishes of those interested in
Agriculture.
In thus offering our paper as ar Agricultural or
gan, there is one ground of appeal in its behalf,
which, though we should urge it with modcsty, it
is not proper we should pass unnoticed. This pa
per- from tho time il was first issued until the pre-
sent, has devoted every week larger portion of its
columns to Agriculture, than any other paper in the
State. In fact it has been from the first, in part,
an Agricultural paper, and think this account
is not without some claims to the support Of those
interested in Agriculture.
With these remarks, we leave it to fellow citi-
xcns to decide, whether we shall be sustained in our
enterprise The expenses of publication will be OF
course increased by enlarging the paper but the SUBJ
scription price will remain the same heretofore
SO So if paid within six months; or So, if pay
ment is delayed longer than that time.

circumstances. II either is or not injured by expo
sure. If injured in Virginia; it is injured in South
Carolina; and if injured at one time, it is at all
times. One solution occurs to us of the apparent
discrepancy in the cases before US. May it not bo
that the solid manure in all Mr.. Garnett's cowpens,
even those which were poughed soonest, was mater-
ally injured by exposure to the sun before it was
turned in and that the improvement Of the land is
ascribablc chiefly 10 the liquid manure, urine2-
IF so, may not the pens which were ploughed as
soon as the COWS were removed, have been injured
by turning up and exposing the soil which had ab.
sorbed the urine, and thus allowing this fertilizing
ingredient TO be evaporated by exposure TO the winds
and the heat of summers sun? If this supposi-
tion be correct the fact that cowpens are injured
by. pluoughlng when the cows are removed makes
against and not for, the theory that manure is not
injured by exposure. Further experiments are per-
haps still needed to settle the question. We sug-
gest the following. l. That the solid manure be
all carefully removed every morning from cow-pen
10 compost heap, and that the pen be ploughed
when the COWS are removed. 9. That the same
COWS with the same treatment, be continued on an
adjoining pen, of the same sze for the same length
of time; that the manure be carefully removed from
this also every morning to compost heap and that
the pen be not ploughcd till planting time. 3. Let
then tho solid manure stand on two pens, end the
one be ploughed and the other not; which is only
repetition of Mr.. Garnetfs experiment. A. Let the
manure be gathered from two other pens every morn
ing and thrown into holes, covered to shelter them
from sun and rain. Let that gathered from one of
the pens be evenly spred on the ground as soon as
the COWS are removed, and poughed in Let that
from the other be protected mu :b possible from
both sun and wind till the time of planting and then
be spread and ploughed in.
If these experiments were carefully conducted
they would show the relative value Of solid and
liquid manure of cowpens, well as the effect Of
exposure upon manure.-Cherap Gazette.

wrecked in the month of ofSeptember, 1917

thirty two passengers, and she had but
two boats attached, one long boat, and

terror, the buats were filled, and were

ON THE VALUE OF PEAS AS A CROP, AND
TO PREVET INJURY TO STOCK FEED.
ING THEREON.
HANCOCK County, Ga. April l3, 1910.
L. Z IL ID

HANCOCK County, Ga. April Is, 1910.
To the Editor Of the Farmers Register:
have for several years placed high value on
the pea CROP as peculiarly adapted to our agricul-
ture and wants in this section. 1t appears to me
more fertilizng than any green crop we grow grows
taller poor land, is easily planted, does not hin.
der US much during the busy season, and in every
way, is fine accompaniment TO corn crop, and
furnishes fine amount of fall and winter procvndcr
for stock, (Which we are generally much wantingD
but have heretofore thought it left my stock, par
ticularly my hogs, in an unhealthy condition, and
on that account less valuable than it at first promised
have used much inquiry and thought TO find
remedy for this defect, and hope have succeeded;
but it will be necessary to test the remedy more full
ly, and on that account send it to you, if you
think it worthy, for the use of your subscribers.
Last fall was conversing on that subject with
honest practical farmer He told me for number
of years he had used the pea crop in fatening the
most Of his stock, that they throvc as kindly on
that as on corn, and that none were injured by it,
and lie gave me his plan. He prepared in the pea
field large tight trough, and kept it at all times
we'll supplied with salt ashes, dissolved in water.-
He never turned hungry stock into the field, only
turning III his horses, COWS and fattenrng hogs. l
tried i; last season. and the result was precisely as
he informed me; they all appeared fond of drinking
out of the trough, and were healthy, and did well
after they were turned off on other food. used
the precaution to turn my horses and COWS off two
or three days each week, and l would suggest that
horses or oxen should never be put to hard work
while filled with peas. Nor would I suffer my
stock hogs to feed on them; they are, think, more
unhealthy for young than older hogs.
cannot close this without giving hearty "well
done" for your bank comments in the farmers Re.
