Turning Under Pea Vines.
.S0uthcrn U'OTid.

.S0ut6crs U0Tid.
Editor Southern J,oYM.-The
Scientific american OF August Doth,
says: pea vines act better as a fert.
ilizer, when plowed under after they
have become decayed than while
green" Long exposure to the wealth
eG makes them OF very little value as
food, aud as rich food is considered
the best tor rich manure, can you tell
what new elements of fertility are
added to them by being lett 20 snn
aud rain to decay? T. GAUTIER.
West PaScoyou'0, Mss.
ANSWER--W e have not seen the
article in the Scientific american al
luded to, but presume the writer did
not intend TO convey the idea that
any element Of value is added TO the
pea wires by leaving them exposed
to the sun and rain to decay, but
that the rapid fermentation of the
large mass OF succulent vegetable
matter exercised a deleterious effect
on a closely succeeding crop, or that
the upturning and exposure ofthe soil
during hot weather is Injurious. We
think the latter objection is the seri>
Gus one. Another consideration that
is against turning under the vines
greeu is that it leaves lhe ground in
bad mechanical condition for imme>
date planting and subsequent GERM,
nation OF seeds. We have no doubt
that The hot sun seriously Injuries the
soil when exposed TO its tnll rays
without protection Of any sort.
While it is true, as a general pros
! position, that the richer the food val
ue Of the crop thegreater it will bene
+: Fl. the soil when turned under, yet it
! must be borne in mind, that during
the process Of decay OF the vines the
elements that gave them value as
food are ieached out by the rains and
carried directly into the soil where
they will be found in a condition foi
the immediate use OF the succeeding
crop. Very little OF value is lost by
evaporation from the. decaying vines
The leaves and stems successfully
tall to the ground and are soon con'
yerted into dry humus easily pillow
ed under, aud making it much light
er job to cover the woody parts OF the
vine. We do not think the question
OF the relative merits OF the two plan,
so tar as relatives TO the benefit,
conferred On the soil are concerned
has yet been definitely settled, but
incline TO tie opinion that mere con
venience and eXpediency has govern
ed those who advocate The practice
Of permitting the vines to decay OF
the surface, 1t Is well settled, how
ever, that very great benei to The
soil is the result OF this new practice
While it may be true that the old
idea ct blowing under vines while in
tail IuXurlauce Of growth may add
more virtue to the soil, yet it may be
that this virtue is orerbaianced by
the considerations already referred to-
viz injury TO the soil, from ex osurc
20 the sun, greater difficulty and cost
d the operation, and the immediate
subsequent condition OF the soil.

The President, apparently, had a hard time In
making up the tariff commission, and his trouble
vas augmented by the unwillngneSs OF the men
he wanted to serve. The fierce fusilade OF criti-
csm, when first announced, by q portion OF the
press probably accounts for the Discrimination of
prominent men to serve upon It They, doubtless,
felt that the work OF the commission was con-
demned in advance by portion of the people, and
that IL would be hopeless task under the eircum-
stances 10 give satisfaction 1t is not fair to keep
up this running fire OF criticism. The commission
ought to be tried by its work, collectively, and not
BY the opinions of its individual members.

Negotiations looking TO compromise between
the miner; and the coal companies in the Cumber
land region are pending, with fair assurance
of success The basis of the proposed agreement
Is that the companies shall pay fifty cents per ton
for mining coal and that ten hours shall constitute
aday'S work The only obstacle remaining to an
amicable understanding Is the refusal OF the CON-
panes to take back into their service all the old
miners. Some OF the strikers, the companies as
sert, averendered themselves very Objectionable:
but the strikers insist that all the old employees in
q body, shall return to work. Business interests
all along the line OF the canal, from Cumberland
TO Washington, are suffering so materially from
the strike that 1t will be matter OF general re-
loicing to learn that Ii has ended.

Everybody seemed to lay aside the

What we Believe.

We believe in going to the bottom
of thiDgs-except it may be the well,
the river. the mill-pond, and certain
other places. In farming it is essen
tial, and deep plowing the secret OF
success.
We believe in large crops of every
thing, grown on small areas. except
it be crop of weeds or bad habits.
The latter ought to be widely distrib-
u,ed and few in hill.
We believe that o fertile soil has
life and an indefinite amount of vitali-
ty-an anlmating spirit that presides
over its destiny. 1t must be so. or
hedgerows aud swawps would not be
SO populous in snakes, lizards, and
other small stock, nor would an idle
field grow so many weeds and thist .es
The land has life in it aud must pro-
duce something; so if the farmer heg-
lects his part, his harvest will be
weeds, only weeds. But, on the other
hand, farmer may kill bis land by
over-cropping and stingy feeding.
Alb, the ghosts, the numberless ghosts
that hover around so many farms, all
crying murder murder!"
We believe in good fences. espec-
tally when the bull is on the other
side, or the girl we are helping over
is pretty and con6ding. Some farm
ers, however, have made no provision
for such contingencies. and while the
chances for accidents in rural life are
thus much increased, many farmers
boy misses some of the most pleasant
episodes of youth.
We believe that a farmer should
above all things question bis farm
question it by experiment, by cultiva
ton, by varied trials.
We believe in good tools-if the
neigbbors:have them too. But it hard
ly pays to keep an accommodation
shop for the benefit of the neightor
hood.
Finally, We believe that farming
pays somebody, but which man it de
pends upon circumstances. The grea'
trouble is, some farmers never find ou
which the fortunate individual is, anG
while they 60 through life with q con
vction that it is not them, they ars
too slow to perceive The bows anG
why's of it all.-Bossier Banner.

Removing u Woman from n
TumOr.

New York World Philadelphia dispatch
DIR. William Goodall, OF the University of
Pennsylvania, performed a very remarkable
operation this afternoon in the presence OF
30 phys ians and a number of students at
the University Hospital. He removed an
ovarian tumor, weighing liz pounds. from a
woman whose name is not divulgcd, aged 81,
residing at BLANCHARD, in this State. and tho
mother of three children. When the turnor
had been removed tho woman weighed only
- pounds. so DR.. Goodall said: INSTEAD of
taking the ,umor away from the woman,
took the woman away from the tumor." II is
believed that the woman will survive the
operation.
