opposed to the ratification Of the treaty.

nouncing his intention 10 support the treaty as
in the interest Of peace. He entered somewhat
into the legal questions involved. saying that
he saw no obstacle in the way OF ratification.
Senator Money reiterated his opposition to the
treaty. and made a last plea for a modification
Of the agreement. He asserted that II the friends

tion the vote could have been secured much
sooner and that. as il would have carried assur-
ance Of pacific intentions the part Of this Gov

VALUE OF COW PEA.
A. q Forage, Feed and Fertilixi1D
Crop, Says THIS Writer, 1t
Has No Equal.

Capt. +. A. Wilson writes from Wash.
ington in part as follows: Farmers in
the north do not, as a rule, half appre-
ciate the COW pea as forage, feed and
fertilizing crop. Really, there is
nothing they can grow on the farm that
in all respects begins to equal it, and
where conditions are anything like
favorable, Il good, average crop is al
most Il certainty. AS an upbuilder Of
poor, sandy and overworked soils, it is
especially valuable. In all-round value
there is but one other legume that be-
gins to equal it, and that is the Florida
velvet bean, but for speedy growth
and early maturity of fruit the COW pea
stands at the head. 1t is wonderful
nitrogen gatherer, and it is therefore
exceedingly valuable both as a green
feed and renovator of the soil. Twelve
to twenty thousand pounds of green
forage per acre, and 20 to 80 bushels OF
seed is not an uncommon yield, and
with this mass of leaf and vine turned
under as fertilizer, or cut and cured as
dry feed, or used for silo, must neces-
sarily be of great value. The matured
pea is especially valuable for all stock
on the farm, as every living thing will
eat them as greedily as they would corn
or oats. Hogs do specially well on
them, and to turn them into a pea field
they will fatten perfectly. 10 grow a
crop fit your ground nicely, drilling
seed an inch cr so apart, and covering
about three inches deep. Or you can
seed with common wheat drill, which
will do just as well. When plants are
up to four or five inches run over field
with weighted harrow, paying no at.
tention to rows, thus freeing your
ground of grass and weeds. If ground
is not too foul, this is all your crop will
need. Most of all the cow pea family is
quick in fruition and maturing of
fruit, rarely taking over 60 to so days
from date of planting to maturity of
fruit and harvesting of crop. This
makes, therefore, specially valuable
crop for the central and northern Sec
tons of our union, where seasons are
inclined to be short, and where crops
so frequently fail"

SHALLOW CORN CULTURE.
Experiment Of the Nebraska Station
Show the Success of the COmpnr.
ativeLy New Method.

A revolution in corn culture in Me-
braska is promised. For some years
the advocates of shallow cultivation
have been endeavoring to prove the
value of their plan, but have made lit
tie Roadway. At the request of num-
Der of farmers the experimental sta
ton has been making thorough tests,
and bulletin announcing results is
being prepared for publication.
Four acres of land was divided into
tracts of one acre each, and each tract
was cultivated by a different cultivator.
The result showed that the acre under
deep cultivation yielded 50 bushels,
while one under shallow yielded 6S and
the other two SO bushels each. The
land receiving shallow cultivation was
stirred to a depth of three inches, that
receiving deep cultivation to a depth
of six inches.
The director of the experimental sta
ton says that the advantage of shallow
cultivation lies in the fact that the air
does not penetrate so deeply, and there
fore does not dry out the roots in a
year where the rainfall is below nor
NAL. A study of the roots of the corn
plant shows that many of them would
naturally grow within three or four
inches of the surface, but when the
upper layer is dry, their source of
nourishment is shut off. Deep cultiva-
ton has the disadvantage, too, of tear
ing the roots, thereby hindering them
from securing the proper amount of
nourishment. The one thing insisted
upon in shallow cultivation is frequent
stirring to prevent hard crust from
forming for any time on the surface.
Wherever tried, the shallow cuiti-
waited corn this year has proved the
more vigorous, although so well timed
have been the rains that the yield il
certain to be enormous. The prospects
are such that the millions of bushels
held by spectators in cribs are being
marketed as fast as possible, although
the market has sagged some within the
month.

CLEAN HOUSEKEEPING.
DO Not Tolerate Dirt Around
Their Hives,

One of the great points of difference
between an Italian and the common
black bee is that the italian is good
housekeeper and the black bee is Il
poor one, says Wallace's Farmer. The
Italian does not tolerate any dirty
combs or any loose chips lying on the
floor of the hive or about the entrance.
If anything gets in too big to be car
ried out, she buries it in propolis or bee
gum. Why does she keep house in this
fashion? Partly because she likes it,
like most good housekeepers, and part
ly because she doesn't want any moth
eggs to be lying about in the dust,
where the moths will lay them if they
can, and then be carried into the combs
filled with bee bread, there to hatch out
and work their way between the brood
cells and spin their webs around the
wings and toes of the baby bees. Like
most good housekeepers, the Italian is
not nervous body. She goes at it
calmly, deliberately, has level head
and always keeps cool, while the black
hee gets alarmed, loses her head, and
runs whenever there is danger. The
black bee is saucy, irritable and cross
grained; the Italian is good natured
cool-headed, but when she does fight
she means business. The black bee
will buzz around, make terrible fuss,
and threaten to wipe the earth with
you; the italian will strike you as quick
as lightning and say nothing about it.
Queer, isn't it, that there should be the
same difference between bees that
there is between .housekeepers and be.
tween men; that cool-headedness and
courage and effective work should be
found in one type of bees and in one
type of men, and that slovenliness, fuss
mess, braggadocio and ill-temper
should be found in another? There are
a great many things to be learned by a
little observation in the beehive.

Two days before, her likes or disikes would

now somehow my very size seemed to me OBJ

But no change could make in her manner

nervous tremulousness, and her manner as
self-contained as though she was treading

Medinm-Sized Males BEST.

A male of medium size should be

clumsy. Most persons pay too much
attention to the size. They overlook
the fact that the larger the bird the

if he is small rather than large, where
the object is to hatch out pullets that
