The First Polar Explorer.

The hardy mariners who We're the
pioneers in polar discovery achieved
wonders, considering that they had
everything to learn about methods of
arctic work and their vessels and
equipment were very inadequate. One
of the greatest of all arctic voyagers
says Harper's Weekly, was the man
who commanded the first true polar ex-
peditlon, William Balntz. He sailed
from Holland in 1894 on the little fish
ing smack Mercurious. and the object
of his voyage shows how ignorant the
merchants and Seamen of those DAYS
We're as to the navlgabillty of arctic
seas. Barentz pushed into the unknown
for the purpose of sailing around the
north end of Nova Zembla, and find
ing a northeast passage to China; and
so for a month he Skrted the wall Of
ice that barred his way, seeking in ev-
cry direction for lane by which he
might travel through the pack. putting
his vessel about eghty-one times, and
travelling back and forth along the ice
edge for seventeen hundred miles. The
highest north he attained during this
careful examination of the ice edge
was G11 statute miles south of the
highest point reached by NaEsen or
SI4 miles from the pole.

Cow Peas and SOFA Beans.

There are two crops to which atten
ton is being directed, and which have
been overlooked by farmers in this
section-cow peas and sofa beans.
There are several varieties of them,
and it is possible that it may be neces.
sary to experiment some before the
kinds best suited of either will be
found for the particular farm upon
which they are grown. 1t is not that
the farmers will be able to grow more
of the peas and beans than they will
of corn, or that they will give larger
profit, but they will assist in provid-
ing not only variety but more nitro
geneous food, while at the same time
benefting the soil to certain extent,
MS they belong to the leguminous
family of plants, the same as clover.
Cow peas have been grown with ex-
cellent success in New Jersey, and
the sofa bean is even harder. In the
Northern States the black variety OF
COW pea-sometimes known as mig.
ger"-has been preferred, but there
are many varieties, and no doubt those
fourishing best in the South will also
do well here (among them the Wonder.
full, as they seem to thrive on any
land that will produce corn. The
sofa bean contains more protein Gnd
fat than the COW pea, but is not SO
well known. One of the advantages
with both crops is that the vines are
highly relished by cattle, and where
crops are grown and hogs turned in
to do the harvesting the results have
been very satisfactory and the land
improved. Philadelphia Record.

The question of farm fences is one

and fence ''forever;" but neglected
hedge is unsightly and disgrace to
the farm. Every farm must have in
side fences, the advice of some agri-
cultural writers to the contrary not
withstanding. Some of these might
be hog-tight, and what shall they be?
A combination board and wire fence
is good, but expensive, and requires
more or less attention to keep it in re-
pair. Much the same may be said of
the picket and wire fence. The
woven wire seems to be the coming
fence, but at present prices it is a
luxury the small farmer can indulge
in but sparingly. The man who will
invent good, substantial hog tight
fence which will come within the

HOMEGROWN Beef.

1t is possible to proitably grow on
every large farm some young cattle
that at two or three years old can be
turned off for beef without seriously
lessening farm products in any way.
We have known dairymen to do this,
feeding this young stock with much
that they could not feed to COWS with
out affecting the quality of the milk.
Such young stock when fattened will
make beef, for which ready sale can
be had by the side or quarter in every
neighborhood. If it is killed in cold
weather, the meat may be kept frozen
for weeks at time. so that much of it
may be used fresh That which is
salted will lie almost equally ap-
preciated next spring and summer.
Every farmer used to barrel one or
two beeves every year. Now, most of
them only put up pork for the meat
supply. The change has not been a
good one either for the pocket OF for
the health of the farming population.
