Special to the Indianapolis Journal
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Oct. 2.-Col. c.
w. Williams, in command of the United
States quartermaster's depot here, has been
transferred to Savannah, and from there
goes to Havana. Colonel Williams will leave
on Tuesday and will be succeeded by Col.
c. r. Barnett, at present second in COM
mand to Colonel Williams. Colonel Barnett
is one of the best quartermasters in the
service and since the beginning of the war
was promoted from major to lieutenant
colonel, and his additional promotion will
doubtless entitle him to the rank of colonel.
Colonel Barnett is a Republican and Colonel
Williams a Democrat. Much dissatisfaction
has been caused heretofore by reason of the
fact that there were so many Democrats
given employment in the depot when the
Republicans were in power. Colonel Will
liams has made an excellent official.

Of pea vince for the benefit Of the soil.
Our objection is not based on the
lnsistcncc that the soil will not be
more benefited by turning under the
entire growth. We do not say that
the land will be as much benefited by
turning under the stubblc only. after
removing the vine in the form of hay,
as it would be if the entire crop be
permitted to remain. But we insist
that farmer cannot afford to turn
under a crop Of pea vines, ready to
cut and cure into ton or more Of hay
per acre. He cannot afford to use
food that is fit for animal consumption
for plant food; to turn back into soil
Il highly organized product like pea
vines. a ton Of cured pcaviucs is
worth not less than SD as food for
animals. 1t would be worth about So
or 81 as food for the soil, or as plant
food. That is to say, that the ele-
ments Of plant food that arc found in
one ton of pea vine hay can be bought
for about 81 or 81 in the form Of
commercial fertilizers. So, then, to
turn under SIS worth of hay in order
to get into the soil 81; worth of plant
food is equivalent to throwing away
about 50 worth of value. Moreover,
we get the $15 value out Of ton of
hay and then may return the result
ing manure to the soil, and in doing
80 we realize not less than So worth Of
fertilizer. In other words, if all the
manure-liquid and solid-rcsulting
from ton of pcavinc hay consumed
by grown animals, be carefully pre-
served and returned to the soil, the
value of the manure would amount to
not less than so per cent of its
fertilizing value before feeding it, or
before cutting it from the land.
An excellent way to realize both the
food and the manurial value of crop
of Cow peas is to pasture the field,
either with cattle or horses when in
full growth, or ready to NOW, or with
hogs after the peas are ripe; or gather
the ripe peas and then pasture. But
the best way is to make hay of the
vines, pasture off the stubble for a
few days and then turn under.

less Liquor Drinking.

The bulletin for the Federal depart
mcnt Of labor for July gives figures to
show that there has been large de-
crease in the consumption of intoxi-
eating liquors by the people of this
country. In 1880 the consumption of
distilled spirits in the United States
was 9! gallons for every man, woman
and child: in 1886 it was less than
one gallon
Such cecreasc in the use Of strong
drink probably never occurred before
among any people.
There has also been decrease in
the use Of wine in this country. The
per capita consumption Of wine in
1880 was 20 of gallon, and in 1896
it was .26 of gallon.
But while there has beer some de-
crease in the use Of wine and very
great decrease in the use of whiskey,
brandy, gin and other spirits, the con-
sumption of beer has increased i'm
mensely.
In 1896 no less than 1,170, ,379, ,448
gallons Of beer were used in this coun-
try. The beer used for medicines, in
cooking and for ether purposes except
drinking is comparatively very small.
The great bulk of the beer consumed
in 1896 was drunk. The per capita
consumption Of beer in 1880 was only
1.36 gallons. By 1896 it had increas-
ed to 10. IL gallons.
In spite Of this fact there is good
reason to believe that there has been
a great growth Of temperance among
our people duribs the past eighteen
years. Their larger use of mild drinks
is more than compensated for by the
great reduction of the quantity Of
strong and fiery ors.-At1anta
