The Cow Pea.

NV experience teaches me that
the whIppoorwill should never be
planted or sown till the first of
June and any time from then till
the tenth of July. l name the
whippoorwlll because they are my
favorites. but this will apply to the
red, the black and yellow or clay
pea. [ turn the land intended for
hay any time from early fall on to
carly spring, aud try TO plow at
least twice with double shovels
before sowing. After that the first
opportunity that presents itself
after the first OF June, SOW them
broadcast, using about one bushel
per acre and plow them in with
Avery's double shovels, then fol-
low with drag so constructed
that it brushes all cloda and
mashes other distractions down
in the loose soil out IF the way of
the mower. l also SOW all land
planted in corn, broadcast at lay
ing by or last blowing and use
about a peck, for this purpose, per
acre.
For the past few years l have
sown no oats dr small grains for
hay, prefsrring he pea in that
they improve the land and sown
on anything like fair land will
produce more hay than anything
I ever tried. For soilirg or to
reuovate worn out land l would
sow the red, black or clay. either
of which makes considerable vines.
For hay the whipporwill surpass-
them all in that they are very
prolific and almost vineless, and
so soon as this vine commences to
take on pods aud ripen them up,
the crab grass shoots up above
them and makes both grass and
peas just right for the mower at
same time.-L. D. Davis IN Allan

Judge Bond in his life time was
the bete noir of South Carolina and
seemed to take an especipl pleas
ure in any legal proceedings that
would harass the people of this
State. Judge Golf is Il worthy sue
cessor to him and he wears the
mantle of Judge Bond successful
~ and seems to have equally as
exalted an idea of United States
Judge, and perhaps a little more 30,
for Judge Bond never attempted to
restrain the Governor of a State,
and he seems to take equally as
much delight in his work as Judge
Bond did.-Anderson Advocate.

The Sweet Potato for Profit.

c. J.. Dill, Of Alabama, in
American Agricuilurist has this to
say Of the sweet potato:
Sweet potatoes are III" most pro-
flable crop that | raise. They
will make from 200 to GOO bushels
per acre; 1000 bushels have been
made, but under extraordinary
circumstances, and the tubers
were of poor quality. But with Il
Weld Of 200 bushels, and at only
twenty-five cents a bushel, they
beat five cent cotton a long way.
They seldom sell as low as this,
and in the spring bring from fifty
cents to 81. Extra fine varieties,
such as the Bunch Yam and Span
ish Bunch Sweets, brig from 81
to SO tushel, and the supply is
not equal to the demand, and not
likely to be years to come.
There are so many farmers who
by ignorance or negligence lose
their potatoes, that sweets for seed
are always in demand at good
prices, and often they are very
high. The plan of keeping sweet
potatoes by Mr.. Atkins is a good
Que. l have kept them not only
through the summer, but until the
next spring, and they germinated,
but it took them two or three weeks
longer than those of the previous
years growth. The raising of
sweet potatoes for seed ls quite a
business here, and they are sent to
every State in the Union, to Can
ada and South America, and two
tubera sent last year by mail to
Queensland arrived in good con-
dition. There thousands of acres
are planted for the vines to feed
mich COWS, and it would pay
here.
Many seem to think that the
sweet potato is only adapted to
warm climates hut it will grow
anywhere that the Irish potato
will, and in many localities is a
more profitable crop. Worn cot
ton land, if allowed to rest a year,
will make a fair crop of sweet po-
tatoes. These poor lands, if plant
ell in sweet POTATOES one year, then
in cow peas, and then sweet pota-
toes, aud again in cowpeas, will
then produce good crops of corn
or cotton. AS sweet potatoes i'm
prove Instead of impoverish land,
and as they bring IL much better
price in proportion to their cost
than cotton, it is to be hoped that
more will be planted than hereto
fore. OF all the crops that are
raised in the South | can think Of
none that will equal Irish and
sweet potatoes as mortgage lifters.

A WOman's Bible.

Richmond Advocate.
There is to he something new
under the sun after all. II is a
woman's bible. According to the
statements of Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, who is said to be the 'fa-
ther" of the movement, the pro-
gress OF female suffrage has been
seriously hindered by the presence
IN our homes Of a Bible which was
translated and interpreted by men
only; and it has been determined
to offset this influence by publish
ing book in which all the pas
sages that relate to woman shall
be given with "fitting" commen-
tary by women only. The first
five books of the Old Testament
have been already prepared and
the daily papers ere printing ex-
tracts from them. From these ex-
tracts it would seem that our sis
ters have entered u ron their work
with cOmmendable zeal and a red
hot sense of responsibility. In
the account of the fall the reader
is asked to be appropriately i'm
pressed with the ambition of the
first woman for knowledge" and
Adam, whose abysmal dull
ness made it useless for Satan to
tempt him with intellectual ~
ducements, is made the sinner in
the case. This Interpretation Of
course requires that the uncompli-
mentary things which the Lord
said to Eve should be somewhat
softened, and the sixteenth verse
of the third chapter of Genesis is
therefore declared to be q fgment
