Cow Pea Culture in the North.

Owing to the fact that clover is frs-
quently damaged by freezing in win
ter and by drouth in summer, there is
some inquiry for another leguminous
crop which is not open TO these OBJ
jections. With our present knowl-
edge, no substitute for Indiana can be
offered that is equal to the common
red or large English clovers, both OF
which are thoroughly accimated and
flourish throughout the state.
Notwithstanding this fact the COW
pea has some points Of advantage,
among which are, Q) greater capacity
to endure drouth, ~ ability to grow
on soils too thin to nourish clover, 81
ability to produce large amount of
forage or green manure in few
months of warm weather, and thus
avoid the fl osts of winter and early
spring.
Cow peas are highly esteemed for
forage in many parts Of the south.
They are pasturel, cut green and fed
as soiling crop aad also cured as
hay. Where they seed well they fur
nish an excellent pasture for pigs. in
which case the land is left in fine con-
dition for subsequent crops. In this
state only the earliest sorts would pro-
duce much seed. In the richer soils
the tendency would be to run to vines.
Cow peas produce very wattery
growth and are therefore not easy to
cure for hay.

deeply interested in every move that

has always taken an interest in fight
ing since she has been soldier wife.
Years ago when the general was only
Colonel Miles, in command of the
Presidio in San Francisco, he and Mrs.
Miles were called 'the handsomest
couple in the army" Mrs. Miles has
not lost much of the charm that made
her the goddess Of every young fellow
from West Point in her young days in
California. She was Mary Sherman
before her marriage. Her father was
Judge Sherman, brother of the
senator and the general. Her hair is
dark and abundant, her eyes are a
grayish blue and her manners are
winning. She is as kind and attentive
to the wife of second lieutenant as
to the wife of brigadier- general, and
that is why she has ever been popu
lar, no matter where stationed. Mrs.
Miles accompanied the general on his
trip to Europe last year. She accom-
panied him, too, on some of his expe
ditions against the Indians, and was
often within sound of the shooting.

Hours Which Bring Bad Luck.

Common as is the superstition that
Friday is the most unlucky of days,
and thirteen of numbers, the belief in
unlucky hours is equally widespread
on the European Continent and in the
East.
Gambetta was so firmly convinced
that certain hours of the day are lucky
and others unlucky that he would
never commence any important under
taking or start on an important journey
without consulting famous reader
Of cards as to the auspicious hour,
and President Faure, who was pru-
dent enough to select lucky hour for
starting on his recent journey to Rus
sia, is said to share Gambetta's super
stition. President Carnot was less
,redulous, and selected an unlucky
hour for starting on the journey to
Lyons, where he was assassinated by
Caserio. The superstition is so COM
mon in Paris that cards tastefully en-
belfished and containing list of
''hours to be avoided" are extensively
sold. ld.-Philadelphia Record.

In times not so long ago st. Thomas
was the emporium of the Caribbean
Sea, but the enormous expansion OF
the stream navigation enabled the
other islands to enjoy direct and rapid
communication with the northern
countries and caused the loss of the
bulk of this trade to ST Thomas.
The island would be an especially
valuable possession to the United
States, as it has immense coaling
depots and floating dock capable of
accommodating the largest ships that
frequent those waters.
Santa Cruz is wholly given up to
agriculture, being especially famed for
it's sugar and rum. st. John is of lit

Protection of Young Fruit Trees.

Many states have passed laws pro-
viding for official inspection of nur.
series and nursery stock, and the re-
suits of work along this line in 1897
by the New York agricultural expert
ment station indicate that such in
spection is more than desirable in
New York. Only few nurseries were
examined, and none of them were
seriously infested; yet ten species of
injurious insects were found whose
chief method of gaining wide distribu-
tion is by shipment OF nursery stock
carrying either the insects or their
eggs. Bulletin No. 1876 of the station
describes the methods of inspection
used by the station entomologist, out
lines the benefits to both nurseryman
and orchardist of sytematic inspection
of nurseries, summarizes briefly the
work OF the station in 1897 and gives
descriptions of the insects found, il
lustrations of them and their work,
and methods for their destruction in
both nursery and orchard
The insects found may be classed in
four general groups: Scale insects, in
cluding oystershell barklouse, scurfy
barklouse, New York plum Lecanium,
oak scale and San Jose scale; plant
lice, including woolly louse of the ap-
pie; case bearers, pistol-case bearer
and cigarcase bearer and bud moth;
borers, including peachtree borer.
The remedies to be used against the
first two classes of insects consist of
caustic washes, such as whale-oil soap
solution, kerosene emulsion or kero-
sene-w water mixture in the orchard, ap-
phi in strong solutions in fall or
winter after loosening the scales by
brushing or gentle scraping, or weaker
solutions in the spring when the young
lice and scale are somewhat unpro-
tected. In the nursery similar meth
DDS are to be used on growing stock,
but it is thought that fumigation in
the packing houses or storage cellars
with hydrocyanic acid gas will be
practical means of getting rid of these
and all alternating insects.
The case-bearers and bud moth must
be met in the orchards by spraying in
very early spring, just as the buds
are breaking and leaves unfolding,
with Paris green, London purple or
green arsenite. The borers should be
kept out of the trees by mounding
with earth, surrounding the base of
the trunks with shields or smearing
with some offensive mixture to pre-.
vent the mother moth from depositine
her eggs in the favorite location.
Once established. the only way to get
rid OF the borers themselves is to cut
them out with knife or pierce them
in their tunnels with sharp wire.

In that great stretch of mountain

only few short years ago as the Wild
West veritable fairyland has sprung

How to Make Hens pay.

Lysander S. Richards of Plymouth
county, Mass, writes: Before [ had
attained any degree of success in the
poultry business, started with a
flock of so and at the close of the year
l made them pay 81 head or $50 on
the flock. Well, I figured the same
as many others do, that if so will pay
$50, 200 will pay me profit of 5000,
but somehow hens don't figure that
way. They figure that just in proper
ton to the increase of the flock, the
profits will decrease in the same ratio,
especially with beginners. l started
with It's the next year, and before the
winter was out I began to discover the
truth of the above maxim, which if
more generally known would save

Movable HeuliOuse.

The great evils of vermin and dis
ease among poultry are best combated
by keeping small tiocks of hens and
housing them in number of hen
houses made small enough to be easily
moved from one place to another.
Such houses need not be expensive.
and if Il stone boat is fitted with a
broad platform the henhouse may be
placed on it and drawn anywhere on
the farm. Wherever insect enemies
are depredating it is we'll to place sew
eral of these henhouses near by, and
let them help clear away the vermin,
and also be getting the larger part of
their living. 1t may require that a
yard be built up so as to keep the
fowls from straying too far. But hens
with chickens are the best scavengers,
and they will remain near their tenn
porary home and return to it at night.

Money From Herbs.

A great deal of money can be made
from common garden herbs. Sage,
thyme, marjoram and even catnip all
have their devotees. Most city cats
very rarely see catnip except as a
package. If it is purchased done up
in closed and sewed bag, and given
them to play with the antics they will
perform with this plaything are ex-
tremely amusing. In the country cats
find enough catnip growing around
houses. II farmers boys would gather
some of the leaves and sew them up in
balls they could make some money
out of the business. There is nearly
always a good demand for herbs used
in making the dressing for fowls and
other baked meats.

When the great Government building,

viaduct at the east must connect the
bluff and main tracts, to finish that

solved the difficulty in making the
viaduct not only a thing of beauty and
usefulness, but one of the most artis-
tic conceits on the grounds. The Wis
