Travellers shudder with horror at the
thought of the train-wrecker who stealthily
undermines the supports of a railway bridge
and precipitates a passenger train with its
load of precious human freight to a horri-
BILE death by fire and water. There is a
deadlier enemy than the train-wrecker that
menaces not only travellers but stay at =
homes It's name is indigestion. It slowly
undermines the supports that hold up the
bridge of life and yearly prec1pitates untold
thousands into the dread valley of consump-
ton. If people will only take the right pre-
caution they can avoid this calamity and
even remedy it after it has occurred if they
will act in time.
All cases of indigestion and every disease
that has its inception in indigestion or faulty
nutrition are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t cures % per cent. of
all cases of consumption. 1t cures wasting
diseases. 1t is an unfailing remedy for nerv-
Gus prostration. 1t is the great blood-maker,

The Coffee Pea.

ION that Colorado may eventually DE
como the source of coffee supply for
the country, not from the coffee bush
Of commerce, but from wild pea
which, through a source Of expert
ments at the Colorado State Agmcul-
tural College, has been so cultivated
that it is said to give very good
substitute for the coffee bean. 1t is
known as the Idaho coffee pea, owing
to it's having been found in that state
growing in rank profusion. Colorado
is the first state to make a speciality
of the introduction Of the pea for fod-
der for animals, and food for men. 1t
is equally palatable for both, and pos
sesses such remarkable qualities that
it would not be surprising if it obtain
ed regular standing in the economy
of life. Now the only trouble is to
get sufficient seed, owing to the very
recent discovery of it's value.
The correspondent above referred
to has the following in regard to this
new product, which will doubtless in
terest Florida horticulturists:
"For the past two years the pea has
been growing in favor among the
farmers of the Cache la Poudre Val
ley, in which the college is located,
and the present season will witness
the production Of large quantities of
it for stock food, for which purpose
it is probably not excelled by any crop
grown in this latitdue.
''The plant is a native of Idaho,
where it grows wild, it's fruit being
used mainly as a substitute for coffee,
an infusion of the leaves been
used for generations by the Soshones
before they ever had any knowledge
of the imported article. Settlers who
invaded che west in the COS gave the
plant the name of the "coffee pea,"
for want of better expression. Sci
entifcally it is the Cicer aretitinum,
and is said to grow wild in some parts
Of Europe.
''The first known of it here was in
the spring of 1898, when Charles E.
Pennock, of Bellevue, Larimer county,
received few of the seeds from Wood
River, Idaho. These were planted. and
Mr.. PennOck was SO pleased with the
results that he continued experiment.
ing with the plant, giving year by
year little larger area to it's cultiva-
ton until he had accumulated seed
enough to supply several of his neigh
bors with what they needed for ex-
detrimental purposes and also to meet
the calls for it from other sections of
the country.
''This was in the spring of 1896. AS
a result of this distribution of seed,
several acres were planted in the val
several acres wer planted in the val
ley of the Cache la Poudre last year
to the Idaho coffee pea. Success at
tended these experiments and the val
lie of the crop has been clearly es>
tablished. One farmer, John G. Linde-
mier, raised $50 bushels last year and
sold nearly the entire crop at good
prices.
Chose who have fed it to stock
say that it's fattening properties have

gives the best results Stock prefer
it in that way to any other grain, and
do better. The average ration for "a
working horse is three quarts day.
1t puts horses into excellent condition,
gives them Stock glossy coats and
keeps them in good health. About
the same ration per day is sufficient
for mich COWS or fattening stock.
Hogs require from one to three pints
of the meal to feed, according to
the size of the animal.
''The plant is easily cultivated and
is prolific. A single stalk produces
from 1000 to 1,400 pods. In 1895 Mr.
Pennock thrashed sixty-three bushels,
machine measure, from the crop of
Idaho coffee peas grown on less than
three-quarters of an acre of ground,
and considers 1000 bushels to the acre
an ordinary yield under proper cul-
ture, the soil and climate conditions
beng favorable. 1t thrives best plant
ed in drills three feet apart. The
plants should stand fifteen inches
apart in the row, one seed in a place
requiring about fifteen pounds of seed
to the acre. 1t should be planted as
soon as the ground becomes warm in
spring, about planting time, and
hoed and cultivated in the same man
ner as corn. When the plants get a
good start they completely cover the
ground, so that weeds have no chance
to interfere with them. 1t is low
spreading plant, sometimes measuring
four feet across, with short, stout
stems, each having many branches
with thick, dark green compound pin
nate leaves, covered on the underside
with hairy glands. The pods are
formed at the axil of every leaf, and
contain from one to three peas.
"The Idaho coffee pea grows and
natures without water, characteris-
tic that farmers with dry knobs on
their farms will appreciate.
:" In the years [ have been expert
menting with the pea,' said Mr.. Pen
mock to a correspondent of the Times
Herald, the seasons have not been
dry enough for the crop to require ir-
rigation, though there may be times
when it would be beneficial. Too much
water [ know is hurtful, as whenever
a ditch has been broken and flooded
the ground the leaves soon turned
yellow and died. A letter recently
received from Iowa, where I sent some
of the seed to be tested, states that
the pea does not thrive for the rca
son that there is too much rainfall,
no peas forming in the pod. The past
season [ placed them above my ditch
on a dry hillside. Not much attention
was paid to them, yet a good crop
was produced, the best grown OH my
place for years The plant gathers
moisture rom the atmosphere appar-
emily sufficient for it's needs
cit will be seen from this statement
that the coffee pea is an arid region
plant. lt does better on unirrigated
land; better in dry climate than in
a mosit one. This being true, there
need no longer be any dry waste plac
