Cowpeas Superior to Clover.

Mr.. John I. Lewis, of Adrian, Mich,
in a letter to the editor of the Kissim

Why Florida farmers wish to raise
clover I cannot imagine, unless it is
ing crop of the north and is much used
for hay and they hear a great deal
about it while they do not know the
real value of the cOwpea.
The value of the cowpea is becOm-
ing recognized in the north to such an
extent that quickly maturing varieties
are being introduced into many of the

is not the fault of the pear. LII picked
at the proper time and placed in
dark, cool place-to mellow, it is as dill
ferent from the pear that mellOWs on
the tree as daylight is from darkness.
A Gadsden county correspondent or
the Times-UniOn and Citizen gives
some excellent advices as to handling
the fruit for market and for home use.
He says:
At Tallahassee and this side, the pear
crop is extremely light, but at Mac
clenny the trees hang full and ship
ping has begun. If LIE COnte pears are
left on the tree until they commence
to mellow they will chen seldom carry
far in good condition. Every pear that
is the least mellow when packed for
shipment will generally arrive rotten
at the core in the distant market; and
every one that is near enough ripe to
'give" under pressure of the thumb
will arrive too soft to command with
in probably 30 per cent of what would
have been it's value if it had arrived
firm and solid, as it would if packed
earlier and properly packed and ship
ped Therefore, it is of the utmost m
pCrtance to pick the lie Conte pear be-
fore the rpenfng process has set in.
1t should be fully grown, but not get
file leasee mellow. Tle fruit grows 10

slight change-a whitening Of it's green
color preparatory to the ripeninS pro-
cess, and then is the time to pick and
ship it before the breaking down Of
the tissue begins and Weakens 1t for
the trying ordeal of the transit in not
weather.
If the pear is gathered while quite
hard, it will then only partially r;pen
up in transit, so as to arrive firm and
sound, and nearly enough ripe for the
trade to handle 1t will ripen up after
ward on the retailers hands as want
ed, so as to be rightly natabla a week
or more after it is shipped; and then
it meets the best demand and COM
mands full prices, as it IS so far from
doing when lit arrives soft and rotten
at the core.
1T is impera tive to the I49 COnte's
full value in the Northern market TO
handle it while hard, not to bruise It,
to pack it closely and tightly in well
ventilated barrels, and to ship it in
well ventilated cars by all-rail fast
freight.
If packed tightly in the barrels they
will not become scarified by raItling
about in transit. The pressure IS Tar
less injurious than the shaking about
in a loosely packed barrel

easy as an orange, but the slightest
knock causes the skin to turn black in

THE NEW BALK RULE.
President n. r. YOung Brings Action
on the Amendment.

Being convinced that the new balk rule
promulgated by the rules committee at a
recent League meeting was impractical
BILE and would result in serious wrangling
and an unpleasant prolongation OF the
game, President n. E. Young submitted an
amendment to the magnates on Wednesday
and by mail vote the same was adopted.
AS the rule now reads. ANY motion
made by the pitcher to deliver the ball
to the bat or to base without delivering
it, is balk. The rule as amended will
read: ANY motion made by the pitcher
TO deliver the ball to the bat or first base
is balk.
The adoption of this amendment will be
hailed by managers, players and umpires
with supreme satisfaction, and Sir. Young
should be congratulated for his timely in
terposition in the interest of The sport.
