STOCK PEASE FOR FORAGE.

In a recent issue of The Republic, |
saw an article in regard to growing
rough feed for stock. Here in south
ern Illinois we prefer stock pease, the
cost of cultivation being less and har-
vesting no more and the value of the
feed about equal to grain and hay. 1t
is especially good for milch COWS. l
know persons who winter all their
stock on pease alone and have them
come out in the spring in fine condi-
ton.
There are, of course, different ways
of growing them but think perhaps
the best way is to sow broadcast the
same as oats, about one-half bushel
on rich land to three pecks on
thin land, as they do not vine very
much on thin land but make more
pods. The pease should be sown in
this latitude from June l to Is, but as
soon as the pods begin to turn yellow
as the hsy is in good condition at that
time; cut same as other hay, let
lie in the sun for one or two days and
then cock up the same as other hay ;
let stand in field 10 to 10 days, then
haul in. They will keep we'll in stack.
as they do not take water worse than
other kinds of hay. 1 had a stack
standing until April 20, and it was as
bright then as when put up. Besides
the value of the feed, they improve
the land to a considerable extent, be.
ing nearly equal to clover.
In following pease with oats have
heard men say that they could tell to
the foot where the pease grew, the
oats growing larger and filling better
on the pea ground than on ground
where other crops had grown. l do
not know of any crop that will stand
drought so we'll. On rich land the
pease will often produce as much
as a ton and half to two tons per
acre, and will also grow on very thin
land, but will not produce as much
hay, but more pods to the same
amount of hay.-W. T. in The Re-
public.

1T WAS ORDERED.-In the bio
graphy of Prince Bismarck it is said
that when he was minister at St. Pc
tersburg he was walking one morning
in the summer garden and met the
czar, who invited him to join him.
Presently Bismarck noticed a sentry
stationed in the middle of a large
grass plot and asked the aid-de-camp
who in turn inquired of the sentry:
at is ordered" was his reply.
Every official gave the same answer
at is ordered" but nobody knew by
whom. A sentry had always stood
guard in the middle of that innocent
grass plot. The archives were search.
ed, but in vain. At last an aged official
was.found, who had been told by his
father that the Empress Catherine had
once seen a snowdrop ready to bloom
in the spot, and had ordered a sentry
to stand guard and allow no one te
pluck it. For more than century
the watch had been maintained be-
cause "it was ordered" and no one
had ever thought of disobeying or o.
questioning the reason of the order.

REMEDIES For STINGs OF Bees
AS the sting of bee is acid, an alkali
should be employed to relieve it; there
fore ammonia or soft soap would be
found most successful but in an
emergency any of the following RENE
dies may be applied to reduce the
swelling and relieve the pain: Vinegar,
olive oil, raw onion, paste of clay or
-four and water, salt and water, to-
bacco juice, tincture of arnica and
water, honey or laudanum but if the
person is not very nervous or e1cita-
BILE, cold water applied to the wound
will generally be found quite sufficient,
provided it is not rubbed or scratched.
An individual who is stung by swarm
of bees must be kept cool and quiet
for several days, as any active exercise
or violent exertion by which heat is
generated will make the poison active.

LIVING AT HoME.-If the people OF
the south will live at home, raise their
own supplies, use the product of their
own manufacture, and live with reas-
enable economy, they can live we'll in
good times or in hard times, and be
Independent of the world. The farm
ers of the south can raise all the sup
plies they need cheaper than they
can buy them. With food crops
of all kinds grown on their own farms,
the money arising from the sale of
cotton, tobacco and other crops, is
clear money, and will constitute an
annual surplus that ere long will make
the south rich and enable US to develop
our great resources. Let us live at
home and not merely exist there.

further to say the stroller asked the

"Holy Moses!" calculated the stroll

A CHAPTER ON BRICK.
The Antiquity and Durability of the Famil
lar Material.

The Antiquity and Durability of the Famil-
lar Material.
The first authentic account of brick.
making is in the Bible. tbs sometime
after the deluge. We are told that
"the descendants Of Noah found a
plain in the land of Shinar and they
dwelt there. And they said one to
another, let US make brick and burn
them thoroughly. And they made
brick for stone and slime for mortar"
That was at the beginning of the
building of the tower of Babel, about
1000 years ago. Excavations have
been made there in recent years. The
ruins of the tower are 2,2S6 feet in cir
cumference, a solid mass of earth and
brick, rising to height of 200 feet.
The slime used for mortar was of such
a durable character that today one
brick can hardly be separated from
another. The brickmaking of the
Israelites, in Egypt, of which we also
read in the Bible, was different from

How TO KILL LICE ON HOGS
Hogs will invariably take to the water
when given an opportunity, especially
when troubled with lice. If the ami.
mails have no wallow, one should be
provided. This is easy to accomplish.
Simply dig a hole and fill with water
and the hogs will do the rest. When
the wallow is formed pour over its
surface kerosene oil varying in amount
according to size of wallow. The
mud and water thus treated becomes
sure death to the lice on hogs.-J. L.
Irwin.

that in the plain of Shinar. The Egyp-
tians used straw to mix with their
clay, probably for the purpose of
making the brick lighter. The Egyp-
tian bricks were adobes, or sunbaked.
The Assyrians, the most powerful
nation in old Bible times, used brick,
mostly, as building material for their
cities. Ninevah was built largely of
brick, and upon each brick one or
more letters were stamped. The city
of Babylon was also built of brick.
The Babylonian brick, too, have letters
stamped upon them, but the letters are
put on in different style from those
at Ninevah. On the Assyrian brick
the letters were put on one side at a
time, while on the Babylonian brick
they were put on together in a line,
and these letters are history. They
tell US that the city was built by Neb'
uchadnezzar, son of Nebubatuchun.
The ancients made bricks in al
shapes, to fit different parts of their
buildings. Some were square, some
were oblong, and some were wedge
shaped. In color, too, they were al
shades, from the color of the earth II
the sun-baked brick to the black
green, red, blue, white and yellow il
the klln.burned, as shown by recen
excavations.
We are told by Homer, l think, tina
Poseldon and Apollo built a wal
around the city of Troy. This wal
was made partly of brick and partl!
of rock. The city itself was bull
mostly of brick of the baked kind
except the royal palace and few othe
buildings, in which the material uset
was stone.
DR.. Schlieman, the excavator o
Troy, found in the ruins of that cit.
every evidence of its having been de
stroyed by fire. The stones that hat
been exposed to the flames when lait
bare, so that the air could strike them
would crumble to pieces, while th'
brick had been burned so hard tina
the atmosphere had no effect upol
them, and they were almost as good a
new.

BLACKsBURG, May 26.-In my letter
of the 22nd, 1 am made to say in ref
erence to the South Carolina and Geor-
gia Extension railroad: "The officers
of the road will all be brought back
here" when 1 meant and wrote: "The
Offices" Nearly all of the original
officers remained here under the brief
control of the road by the S. G. & G..
company but the business of the road
was transacted through the Offices in
Charleston. Now it will all be done
at Blacksburg.
Ex-Governor Northen, of Georgia,
in his admirable and unanswerable ad-
dress before Boston audience at Tre-
mont Temple, Monday night, upon the
attitude of the south on the Negro
question, said that "the south had
made one mistake in not erecting a
monument to the slaves of 1860 and
1865 for the gallant protection they
gave the women and children of the
south all during the dark days of our
civil strife" Of course he was not
aware of the fact that such a monu-
ment had been erected at Fort Mill,
in York county, S. c., and 1 suggest
that THE ENQUIRER lose no time in
informing him, and giving him his
tory of the monument and the name
of the liberal and generous promoter
and builder thereof. Such recognition
of such devotion should be known the
world over.

s@ Two clergymen were very firm
friends yet as different in character as
possible. The one was prim and pre-.
else, especially careful of his linen
quiet in speech and manner the other
careless as to dress, and regular John
Bull in ways and words. The latter
had formed the habit of taking snuff
much to the disgust of his friend, who
abhorred all such practices. One day
at the ministers meeting, Mr.. B. pulled
out his snuffbox, tapped it in the or
thodox fashion, and took a hearty
pinch. Mr.. A. thinking to rebuke
him, said in the mildest tones, Mr.
B., how much do you think it costs
you a year to buy snuff?" "Don''
know" was the reply; "perhaps about
as much as it does for your starch"
