Peas for Cattle.

Chicago Tribune.
Prof. William Brown of the Onta-
rio Agricultural College has repeat
edly declared that peas form a cheap
er and better food than does corn for
stock. Others, who have. experience,
assert the same, yet very Sew peas
have ever been fed in the United
States. Farmers in Northern Illi-
nois say that peas cannot be raised
profitably in this climate; but several
varieties of garden peas flourish here.
Is it not possible that this matter has
not been sufficiently tested, and that
stock owners are neglecting a profit
able food crop when they ignore the
pea? Those who have practical ex-
perience in growing peas and in feed
ing to stock, will confer a favor upon
many farmers if they will give an &C.
count of that experience. The points
of especial interest would be the cost
of growing the peas, the value of the
vine and the seed, in feeding, and

Cheap Sugar.

Spirit of the Farm.
The sugar planter, of all other class
of farmers, certainly has more ground
for complaint on the score of low prices
for his product, and with less proba-
bility of ever again seeing it reach the
profitable figures it has sold for within
the past twenty or twenty-five years.
We had just discovered the process of
making sugar from sorghum. But the
low price to which the staple dropped
has paralized this industry not only in
this but other States.
Prof. Scovill, of Sterling, Kan, has
realized 1000 tons of cane from 1900
acres in cultivation this year, and made
some 100000 pounds of sugar and
1000 gallons of syrup, for both of
which he has a ready market, but OF
prices they cannot afford to sell for.
1t is doubtless a great blessing to
the worlds toiling millions, from the
little child that creeps to the sugar.
bowl and commits its first theft, to the
old lady that gossips long over her
sweetened tea, to have cheap sugar !;
but its cheapness is opening up foun-
tains of bitterness in every nation in
the civilized world. 1t may be we'll
to look at the history of this decline.
Our civil war interfered sadly with the
sugar trade of the world, and induced
France and Germany to offer bounty
of a cent pound for the production of
sugar from beets.
The thrifty German and French
peasant took in the situation at once,
and got down on his knees in the beet
field, and by labor on his own land
produced not only all the sugar needed
at home, but millions for export.
Meanwhile the Southern planter coin.
planned that he could not control labor,
and hence could not raise sugar as
cheap as formerly.
The North tried to make sugar from
sorghum, and has just discovered that
they could make G sugar at about
cents per pound, when the price drops
out Of sight in the worlds markets, anG
the thrifty Yankee Is cleft" even be

Yesterday being Trinity Sunday in the
calendar OF the Christian years, its observance
was properly noted in the Episcopal and
Catholic churches in special honor of the
Blessed Trinity or the Triune Nature of the
Godhead. This festival was not one OF original
observance by the early Fathers, but was an
GENTLY an octave OF Penticost or Whitsun-
day. 1t was epjoined by the Synod of Arles,
A. D., 1860. and became finally established by
a decree of Pope John xii in the Western or
Latin church during the fourteenth century.
Still the Catholic church, excepting that of
England and Germany, have the Sundays
named from Penticost or the Sunday previous,
instead of Trinity.
At st. Luke's Cathedral Rev. Canon Stills
administered the service and in his appro-
pirate discourse mentioned the fact that it was
Just ten years since he was ordered as a priest
of the Christian church, and five years since
he commenced his service as assistant minister
of the Cathedral. He expressed himself very
kindly toward the Bishop as loving friend
and fostering father, and to the people of the
parish and diocese for their many acts of
respect and friendship toward him.
