| ceiving the following letter from a man in
the state of Washington:
DEAR SIR-Some II years ago, believe, stole
ride over your road from - to -, a
distance of II miles and back. / rode up in the
night on the cowcatcher, and finding was on
the wrong road l told the engineer, and he
took me back in the engine cab.

on the railroad in my life. One account have
settled. send you postofdce money order for
S3.45, which, trust, will settle principal and
interest, even If the fare were then cents per
mile.
have repented of my sin and desire forgive
ness from God and man. Respectfully yours,
Rev. ---
The Erie people are encouraged to think
that, if many stolen rides are paid for 50
handsomely, the road will soon be taken
out of the hands of the receivers.

Fcr Only One Season.
CoWpcaS are very commonly used
( for green manures from the fact that
| they will grow OH almost any soil, will
| make II larger bulk of stems and roots
and can be grown i'll ono season. When
restorative crop is wanted to occupy
tho ground for ono summer only, this is
the best which can DO grown, and if
planted carly the crop will mature in
time for second crop to be grown on
the Same land if desired, reports Pro-
fessor Tracy i'll n bulletin from tho Mis-
sissippi experiment station. He says:
Whether the vines should be cut for
hay and only the roots and stubble used
for manure and whether the vines
should be plowed under in tho fail OF
left to protect the surface from washing
during the winter are the questions
which bring out long discussions at al
most every farmers institute and which
no single statement will answer Va
rious plans have been followed Mt the
station, and we find that in this as in
all other work with fertilizers wo
must be governed by tho condition of
the field i'll which the crop is grown.
On heavy soils we have found it much
better to plow under the whole crop,
while on lighter and more sandy soils
we have found it better economy to
graZe the crop, rs such soil needs COM
pacting rather than loosening, and the
droppings from the cattle compensate
for large part of the fertilizing mate
rial carried off. If soils are liable to
wash, it is desirable to have them COW
cred during the winter, and III such
fields it is better to defer blowing until
three or four months.
If the peas are planted so rs TO ma
ture i'll August and are then plowed I'M
der, the ground will soon 10 covered
with second growth of vines, wild
grasses and weeds, which will give fair
winter protection When pea vines are
allowed to remain on the surface of the
ground during the winter, they lose
very largely, both i'll humus making
matter and i'll nitrogen, and so are far
moro effective us fertilizer when
plowed under in the fall Cowpeas re-
spond very quickly to an application of
fertilizer meal, acid phosphate and
land plaster being the best for such use,
and i'll many cases we have found that
1t paid better to secure rank growth
by using fertilizers on the peas than to
have the smaller crop of vines and to
use the fertilizer on the succeeding crop.
When grown on very stiff soil, where
all the vines We're TO be plowed under
for their looscning effect on tho land, we
have found it an economical plan to
plow as soon as the vines were mature
and then to sow rye, oats or barley for n
winter growth. III this way the full
effects of the vines arc secured TO tho
soil, while tho grain crop covers and
protects the soil from washing during
the winter. OF the three crops named,
rye is tho most hardy and the one to be
