Pea Vine Manurlng.

Pea Vine Manurlng.
In the plats of wheat on which pea
vine manuring has been illustrated at
the Experiment farm we have financial
statement to make which is worth look
ing at. We find that fertilizers costing
an average of So 81 per acre raised the
yield of wheat say one and half bush.
els per acre. With wheat worth 81. 90
per bushel it is easy to see what we lose
on fertilizers. The cow pea vines cost
work on the land and say ST.. 90 per bushel
for two bushels per acre for first seeding.
We can collect seed after once starting
in the work before blowing in the crop,
because it Is best not to sour the land by
blowing IN the vines green. Hence sow
early enough to mature before ground is
needed and pick off pods enough for
seed. Perhaps fair estimate on this
will be found in the following:
Man and team blowing one day on
one acre. $50. ..............o 2 w
Man and team narrowing one half
day on one acre. .................1 90
Two bushels seeds ai$l 90. 9 90
Total cost of pea vine crop. S. 90
Increased yield of wheat on plats ten
bushels per acre, at Sl.00 per bushel,
gives $1,000, or net income of SIS 90 per
acre, where the extra handling can be
next to nothing in cost We have said
nothing of the increase in fertility or
value of straw, which is we'll worth con-
sidering.-N. G. Experiment.
We are glad to see that the expert
ment stations in the south are beginning
to realize the value Of our pea crop.
For twenty five years we have begged
for this recognition. We have insisted
that the clovers did not suit our hot
climate and sandy soil; but timothy and
clover must be the forage crop of the
north and it must per force be the for
age crop of the south. Such was the
edict of the "fad'' in this age of ''fads."
Even southern writer's insisted that the
pea crops were worthless and exhausted
the soil just as they claim that the Ber-
muda grass was curse to our section.
Oh, that our farmers would begin to
think and experiment for themselves
and begin to appreciate the value of the
resources and the plants which nature
has given to our section!
A long experience has fully established
the great worth of our pea plants to
stock and to soil, though for years we
did not understand the scientific values.
Now we know some thing Of these latter.
No plants are so valuable in gathering
the heterogeneous food elements and fix
ing them in the soil for the use Of higher
crops, as are our native Iegumes.
Just as no grass preserves in the soil
so we'll these stores of albuminoids as
does our sweet nutriclous Bermuda.
Let our farmers gather an abundant
supply of seed peas this fall for use dur
ing next season; for we again repeat,
there is no crop so cheaply and abund-
antly produced as the cow pea; no crop
will grow on poorer soil and no crop is
better, when properly fed, for giving
muscle to stock and fertility to soil and
hence support to higher crops than the

SWEET SONGS OF. OLD.
For The Herald.

For The Herald.
The midnight breeze that spraug to greet
And fan me as ! lightly sleft
Bore sounds of music low and sweet;
And listened TO d tender strain
The distant murmrring refrain
Rolled back the tide of years again;
Once more = boy ! ran and leapt.
Upon the trod,ien grassy floor
Where summer suns spin threads OF
gold,
Beneath the maple by the door;
Or wearying. as a. rest l lay,
\ mothers voice would charm away
The petty woes that spoiled my play,
And clouds of grief that o er me rolled.
Ali ne'er again will melody
Enchant me like the songs she sung,
Sweet Alton. and the Banks % Dee;
To swell the slercc OF the dead;
Old tales of love Inherited
From Scottish lore and Saxon tongue.
Such music as was wont to cheer
With magic of celestial strains
1 strive to catch. bot do not hear;
o. as we with unwilling pace
Toward the sunset turn our lace
Alasi in music even, we trace
Earth'S notes; its 3rovellings, Its pains.
Perchance on seine fair summer shore
The joy of old may be renewed;
Where wranglings ana strife no more
With noisy clamor hcrceiy ron;
Where sorrows accents; Gcaths grim
And cries of want that pierce the soul
Shall never venture to intrude:

western Nebraska and western Kan

and unless rains come within the next
week or ten days. the damage may be
considerable. Had the usual condi-
tons existed early in the season. how
ever, the farmers would have been en-
abled TO plant their crops in such sea-
son that by this time they would have
been entirely out of danger. Oats are
now selling in Nebraska. Kansas and
Iowa at from Is to 1715 cents per
bushel. Such prices are not high. but
they are better than nothing when
the farmers have something to sell.

New Line OF Policy For the Coast
Underwriters.
In line with its recently adopted new
s.solicy, the board of underwriters OF the
gssacific has suspended the employment
of the non-intercourse clause of the
constitution, in fact, repealed it alto
gether. Well posted insurance men
know, however, that this action was
purely perfUnctory, for the simple
reason that the board as q board has
not existed from the first day of July.
1t is thought that the formal repeal of
the nOn-lntercOurSe clause VIII have
the effect, however, OF recon ciling some
if not all of the differences of the union

the reorganization Of the compact on
its old basis, with concessions made on
both SIDES. With this end in view 4
committee on conference has been ap-
POINTED, and this committee viii imme-
Gately set about the work of bringing

months has made all hands ready to

About the only stir being made in To-
cal insurance circles is that occasioned
by the cutting going on in the ranks of
the plate glass insurers. This little
fight is becoming quite tropical. and
some cuts have been made within The

being fought for with vigor Within

within the past few weeks All OF the
local agents are hoping that the nego-

Astronomers.
There have been rumors among the
star-gazers from time to time to the
effect that the occupant of the moon
was a woman.
The woman who has successfully &C
complished the difficult task of pictur-
ing her sister in the moon is Mrs
Henry Grimwood, the artist Mrs.
Grimwood modestly disclaims being
the discoverer of her human ladyship
A year or so ago when she was in
Ellenville, N. Y, her attention was
called to the fact that there was the
profile of woman's face in the
moon. She looked earnestly, and what
her eyes, made more effective by the
Imagination, discovered is shown in
the picture.
According to- Mrs. Grimwood, the
face is visible whenever the moon is
full. AS will be seen from the picture,
the face is in the right-hand side and
is looking upward. 1t can be seen by
the naked eye quite clearly, once one
has been taught where to look for it,
and perfectly with field or opera
glasses. Mrs. Grimwood's sketch is,
of course, an ideahzed picture.-New

New Wheat Coming In.

The first new wheat of the season
is now coming into the local markets
and brings on an average of 40 cents
per bushel. Il is from the dry farms
of Box Elder, Davis and Cache coun-

beat. Old wheat is now selling for
about 50 cents. The Indications are
that there will be a very heavy crop
of wheat this year all throughout the
territory. In the north there was
some damage from frosts but nothing
of any serious consequence.
