They have been experimenting with
thr COW pea at the New York Agricul-
tural Experiment station with the hope
that it may take the place of clover as
a forage plant and fertilizer. If they
can make it a success it will in time be
extensively cultivated in the Middle
and some of the Western States, since
this crop comes to maturity in less than
three months from planting, while clo-
yer sown in March does not mature
until a year from the following summer
fifteen months or more. The New
Orleanes Picayune believes the field
pea at the South may be much more
valuable than clover at the North.
Southern farmers are slow in securing
the full benefits which the pea crop
might bestow upon them. 1t is no ex-
pertinent on Southern farms. Its
virtues are known and acknowledged
by all good farmers, and it ought to
be everywhere planted for stock and
hogs, and should become the greatest
renovator of wornout and poor land,
and should also be used, as the sugar
planters are using it on the rich allu-
vial lands of Louisiana, to make rich
lands produce larger and better paying
crops. As cheap humus to build up
exhausned soils and make them rich SC
long as this is used, in all coming time,
there is nothing equal to the COW pea,
1t may convert Southern farms into
mines of wealth.

resigning themselves to the knowledge
that only by industry and correct de-

The Civil Service bill which passed
tho Senate Wednesday IL ~ follows;
The Prssidsnt is empowered to ap-
point and the Senate tc confirm three
Civil service Commissioners, not oil Of
the same political party. TO conduct
the compstivo examinations for sdmis-
sion TO Office. The Commissionsrs
arc 10 receive salAry Of 90, 500 per

Aminatiens to be public. and Of char
acter to test the htnsss OF the appli.
cant for the kind OF service he seeks to
enter; appointments TO DO apporlioned
among the States and Territories in
proportion to population; that there be
period Of probation before appoint
ment; that promotions be on the basis
OF merit and competition; that no one
In the pubic service be removed for
refusing to contribute to auy political
party; Whsre no competition nor com.
FetitiTe examination be held, the rules
TO govern procedures are to DO framed
by the President and commission. Tho
Commission Is empowered TO employ a
chief examiner at $4,000 per aunum
and expenses. The bill provides for
q Board Of Examiners seiectsd from
the public service in ono or moro places
In each State and Territory. who shall
hold examinations q. least twice year;
any act tending to unfairu ess in these
examinations subjects offenders to a
fne or imprisonment. 1t is made the
duty Of tho Secretary of the Treasury
and Postmaster General to begin n
classification Of the employees Of the
customs and post office service in sixty
days after its passage, with q view to
ompetitiye exa limitations for promo.
ton. After the expiration Of six months
persons nominated will be confirmed
by the senate and not subject to the

bill is a coercion clause which pro-
hibit any officer or employe OF the gov

soliciting or receiving in any manner
whatever or from contributing any
money or other thing of value for
political purposes, and no officer or
employe of the government mentioned
In the act shall discharge promote or
degrade any officer or omploye or nc

GOVERNOR CLEVELAND.

Tho leading New York papers being
nnable to find any cause for criticism
either in the official or personal char
acter Of Governor Cleveland, are at
tempting to surround him with an at
mosphsre of disfnror by denouncing
his recent appointments. The Times,
Tribune and Herald havo each given
utterances OF dissatisfaction as 10 cer-
tain appointments which the new Gov
ernor has made. The Times says:
"The troubles of Cleveland have begun
before he has taken possession OF the
Governors chair. The removal Of
Clerk of Pardons OF twelve years e1-
porience, TO whom Cornell had given
the charge OF pardons md who was pro-
nounced exceptionally well attsd for
tho position, has led to uniaYorablo
comparison"
Tho Tribune says: "Governor-sloct
Cleveland has nudc his arst seriora or
ror in the appointing OF ais officers yss-
erday. Some Of the persons whom he
has appointed members OF his staff are
not nboye criticism bu. tho appoint
msnt Of Goodwin Brown is probably
ono that cannot bs defended"
Notwithstanding these adverse criti-
cisms, We have sufficient faith in the
integrity and sound Judgment OF Mr..
Cleveland to believe that these ap-
pointments wsro not made without duo
consideration, neither do we believe
that they wero made with q selfish or
msrcensry motive; and we doubt not
that time will show the wisdom OF the
GoyOrnor's action in the promises. wo
also believe that he is possessed Of sui-
sient executive ability 10 conduct his
. aninistration in the interests Of the
whole people, without spending time
and money in running down to the
Metropolis for the purpose Of consult.

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.



There is no profit in keeping hog
until it is eighteen months old. and
although such an animal may possibly
reach the weight of 400 pounds, the
heavy weight will not compensate for
the food consumed. A pig farrowed
in April and slaughtered about
Christmas will more than return his
cost, for it must be taken into con-
sideration that during that period he
will be but a pig. and the earlier feed
iRgs small in quantity. He should
weigh $50 pounds when killed,
especially if grade Essex or Berk-
shire, and the carcass will contain a
fair admixture of lean and fat. Very
large hogs are very often only fit for
the lard tubs, and very often only for
the soapmaker. The quality of the
meat influences the price, and the diff
ference of only one cent a pound
amounts to quite sum in the whole.
The profitable hog is the one that is
grown quickly, fatted without delay,
and marketed before it begins to con-
sumo the food laid up for winter.
The banner-enterprise., 1883-05-17
Farm and Garden Notes.

Every farmer should keep by his
manure pen a few barrels Of plaster,
and as often as once each week should
strew over the contents sprinkling of
plaster. and this should continue
during the entire winter in warm eel
lars.
The Weld of cheese from Jersey milk
is surprisingly large. 1t is at least
twenty per cent. greater than the yield
from average milk. Only eight pounds
of it are required to make pound of
cheese when it requires ten pounds of
other milk.
A fruit-grower placed tobacco stems
around the trunks of peach trees, and
there is not the sign Of bOrer in any
of the trees 50 treated. He set the
stems around the butts of the trees and
tied them at the top. 1t keeps off rab-
bits as well in winter.
The common harrow can be applied
to many more purposes than its conf
mon one Of preparing the ground for
