The Milwaukee, Lake Shore d. Western
Railway has been well named the Fishing
and Hunting Line of Wisconsin, passing,
as it does, through thousands of acres OF
but partially explored woods and within
easy reaching distance of lakes and
streams that have never been fshed by
white men, all well stocked with the game
fish for which Northern Wisconsin waters
are noted. The woods abound with game;
deer, bear, wolf, mink, beaver, pheasant
and other game are quite plentiful.
THE ONLY LINE
From Milwaukee to the new Iron Mining
District in Wisconsin and Michigan that
reaches ALL of the developed Mining
towns; GOGEBIC, WAKEFIELD, BES-

The Value of Cow Peas.

Though regarded as a Southern crop
experiments have demonstrated that COW
peas can be grown in many of the North
ern States as soiling or hay crop. Thu
cow pea draws its suStenance largely
from the atmosphere, as is demonstrated
by the fact that it will flourish on our
poorest sandy soil. 1t is common say
ing "doWn South in speaking deris1vely
of very sterile soil, ''That land is too
pSor to sprout COW peas!" For green
manuring they should be sown broadcast
at the rate of from three to ft pecks
per acre, according to the soil and variety
planted. In blowing under crop of cow
peas, the returning of plant food to the
soil, though the principal good, is not the
only benefit exerted on rundown soil.
The roots are very penetrating, reaching
down into, and rendering more porous,
the underlying stratum of our fields. A
pea crop is one of the easiest means of
supplying vegetable matter of exhausted
soils. It supplies both chemical and
mechanical manure at the same time.
Cow peas for green maturing should have

a rank growth of vine, as this is the most
valuable part of the plant for this pur
pose. Where the crop is in full bloom,
and ready for turning under, more seed
should be sown on the same ground. The
blowing covers the seed sufficiently and
If this is done in the latter half of June,
q second crop will manure before frost
destroys vegetation. and will produce a
luxuriaRt pasture for COWS, horses or hogs.
Cow peas make most excellent food for
fattening hogs.

LAY. SEED FOE FOWLS.

Hayseeds, or sweepings from the bars,
make excellent feed for young chicks,
says writer in the Mirror. 1t should
be fed as a variety, being given once a
day. 1t would not be out of place to
grow a crop of buckwheat for the hens
also, especially if bees are kept. Any
thing that can be used TO afford variety
should be given, not only to the chicks: but
the adult fowls as well.

BITING HORSES.

The habit of horses biting and snap

the result of teasing and 'tormenting
1t is pernicious habit, 30 say the least

OLIVE CULTURE IN CALIFORNIA.

It is stated that M. Elwood Cooper, Of
Santa Barbara, Cal, has sixty acres in
bearing olive trees. He sets out many
acres in olives every year, but as it takes
ten years for the trees to come into bear
ing it will be well into the next century
before he has the thousand acres in bear
ing. Besides being the most extensive
olive grower, Mr.. Cooper is the largest
manufacturer of olive Oil on this side Of
the Atlantic

SMALL FLooKs OF SHEEP.

An exchange pertinently remarks that
because men on the plains, or better yet
in the mountains, can afford to follow
wool raising, as such, for the reason that
they can herd them together in large
focks, it does not follow that the ordi-
nary run of farmers of their constantly
diminishing farms can do the same thing.
Myriads of farmers can fad profitable
use for small flock Of sheep because,
rightly handled, they can be made to earn
their own living without cost, or very
much care to the owners. They do not
need, cannot keep, and have neither room
nor use for a large flock.

How Caesar Got Ahead.

It was an ex-confederate soldier at
Sheffield, Ala, who was giving some of
his experiences at the battle of Fort
Donelson. He was an Officer and had a
young colored man for his cook. When
the confederates, or great bulk of them,
decided after hot fight to withdraw from
the fort, the captain looked around for
his servant, but the negro was nowhere TO
be seen. The officer mounted log and
called out in loud tones for his servant,
and pretty soon was answered, but in
such faint tones that he could not for a
while locate the cook. Caesar finally
made it plain that he was in the log IN
der the officers feet, and was ordered to
come out.
Cant do i'll" he shouted in reply.
"But you must. The fight is all over"
"But l can't-dar's TO- white men in
dis log behind me!'
And when the officer investigated he
found that such was the fact. They craw-
fished out, one after another, each having
an excuse to urge, and finally the darky
appeared. The officer was about to open
on him, but Caesar protested:
"Doan' say one world Dis ar de fust
time l cher got ahead of white man, an
it's gwine to be de very last! De mex
fout we hev Ize gwine to let de white man
heV de hull log to bisself, an III look fur
a hole in de ground"
In fa1tening cattle or swine there are
many opportunities for losses and wastes.
The most appropriate food is rarely
chosen but whatever may be the most
convenient, there is rarely that mixture
of foods which is most effective in maxi
ing healthful mixture of flesh and fat;
there are seldom the best arrangements
for feeding without waste or for the pre-
servatiOn of health during the fattening
process, and in many ways farmers miss
getting the full effect of the food. How
many make pound of live weight from
SO little as four pounds of food and yet
three and one half or even less of the
best kind of food will make pound of
increase, and how many keep the best
kind of stock for profit? We might say
how few, for but very few do this. And
yet with large number of farmers the
greater part of the crops is fed to stock.
This is an appropriate time for con-
sidering this matter and for acting in
accordance with the most profitable
methods.

GROW AND EAT MORE FRUIT.

Inls Is JuSG WnaI GnS farmers OF THIS
country should do, and yet the great ma
j0rity largely neglect fruit-growing and
depend mainly upCn meats and coarse
vegetables, or, in vulgar parlance, ''log
and hominy." Plant fruit trees, there
fore, do it well, and give good after-care
and culture, and you and your family
will ere long be abundantIy rewarded
with an article of diet which, when sound
and ripe, can only be conducive to
health and longevity.
THE GOLDEN-HooFED GUERNsEYs.
An admirer of the breed says that one
of the most interesting features of Guern-
sey cattle, rarely seen upon others,
are the golden hoof of those which have
white hair down to the feet. It is 1are
that such hoofs are not yellow, and in
tense golden ones are not rare. This at
tractive feature is apt to be overlooked.
In fact, we have rarely seen it alluded to
in print. 1t is only another indication of
the general richness of color of the ami
NAL promising, of course, golden butter.
SHEEP KEEPING in THE SOUTH.
A Southern journal repeats what has
long been believed and asserted by many
when it declares chat "there is no portion
of our country where sheep husbandry
can be more proftably conducted than
on the mountains and table-Iands of the
Virginias, Carolinas, Tennessee, Northern
Alabama, Georgia, and in Northern
Mississippi" If the people of the regions
mentioned would kill all sheep killing
dogs, and pay attention to sheep, they
o1uld make wool growing very profitable.
GIVE THE ROOTS Room.
1t is in print that Professor Burrill
traced root of two-yeer-old grape vine
thirteen feet; Mr.. Satterthwaite, of
Pennsylvania, has roots of twelv e-year-
old peach tree fifty feet from the trunk;
Mr.. Thomas has found suckers common
locust forty feet high at distance of
s'xtyfye feet, and the roots of a peach
tree eleven feet high, twenty five feet
away. In planting trees, vines, ETC., it
is therefore necessary to give the roots

War with England.

Editor Morning NeiUs: | have read with
much interest your article and others of the
10 ult of war with England. You all seem to
have forgotten that by the treaty of Geneva,
when England paid US SIS, 100000 for dam
age, that coal was then declared a contra
band of war, and in this other nations con-
Cured. AS all but two of the coaling
stations in the world belong to England,
how are our swift cruisers to be supplied
with fuels If they go on cruise they Will
have to be laid up in some foreign port
until peace, for any nation allowing them
to coal would be liable to damages for their
acts. This declaration is worth fifty time
more to England than the damage they
paid, and l was astonished at the time
when our ambassadors agreed to such
treaty. No country in the world would
have the temerity to land an army on our
soil, but our ports can be blockaded, and
what will become of our cotton, wheat,
pork, and the hundreds of stuffs We now
Sells Direct taxes will have to be laid on to
pay the expense of the war; for we will get
nothing from tariff. That subject will be
killed. In the midst of plenty we will be
starving, for if those who have mortgages
on their property cannot sell their produce,
how can they pay! And nine out of every
ten farmers are thus situated. We may
take Canada, but how will that benefit US!
our army OF occupaClon Will enrlcn Jhe
Canadians, and we will know that the first
article of peace will be the evacuation
of that country. No class of men will
suffer more than those same fishermen who
are making the trouble, as they did in the
war of 1912, when the British seized the
whole coast Of Maine.
God forbid that there should be war be-
tween the two countries, for civilization
will be retarded for years and neither coun-
fry D0wprfnI
defense, but weak for offense. We have
too great seaboard to protect, and too
many defenseless towns open to attack
