ISLAND

Eight years ago the little island of
Heligoland, lying twenty-five miles
from the North German coast, oppo-
site the mouth of the Elbe river, was
coded by England to Germany, in re-
turn for certain African concessions.
The new owners were not then partic-

now they have additional cause for dis
content in the fact that the island

BEAR MEAT IN LONDON.
1t Came from Russia and Was Rapidly
Sold Off.

Coto Ohs
A consignment of frozen Russian
bears arrived at Leadenhall Market a
day or two ago, says the London News.
Six came in their skins-a black, a
brown, two half-grown bears and two
cubs-and in addition, there were sixty
pounds of ursine joints, steaks and cut
lets. A correspondent informs lis that
he inquired how far the speculation in
bears meat had been justified by re-
suits. Gone, all gone,' said Mr.. Ia
Dor, save that joint hanging there,
which you may have home with you,
if so minded" 1t needed more courage
to accept than to decline with thanks.
"See this" pressed Mr.. Tabor, en-
couragingly, at the same time produc-
ing a bullying meat-basket, containing
about a baron of bear. "a gentleman
of light and leading in the Fourth
Estate will call for it shortly. And he

sheep, and the British palate was ridic-
~ulously squeamish. He strobe away as
jauntily as a man goes to a feast.
The salesman, resuming, said the six
bears had all gone to restaurateurs up
West. He supposed they were eaten
now, though whether digested he could
not say. They brought two shillings
per pound in London.

from 30 to 80 bushels. The plant Is
easily cultivated, requiring the same at
tention as potatoes to give good yield
I planted some 20 inches apart, one
pea in q place, and others one foot
apart. The widest planting and least
watering gnve best results In the pro-
duction OF seed, while close planting
and abundant moisture produced the
best feed for stock. Every animal and
fowl on the place greedily devoured
the peas and would walk over all other
crops to find the 1dahos. Several BUSH
els were sold as green peas, and the
purchasers were delighted with the
novelty. The plants have n peculiar
odor that prevents insects from prey
ing upon the seed, and sour gum that
sticks to the fingers while picking, and
imparts vinegary taste.
Idaho peas may be fed to cows and
sheep while on the vine, but should be
shelled and ground into meal for horses
and hogs. Some farmers who have
thoroughly tested the feeding qualities
claim that from one to two quarts of
the meal is sufficient days ration for
q working horse or milk COW, and that
hogs require even less. The peas may
be drilled or sown broadcast and cut
with Q mower and stacked as beans.
They shell out easily after being thor
oughly dried, and can be winnowed OF
cleaned with an ordinary tanning mill.
The hay is as good as alfalfa, after the
peas are shelled out.-Joel Shoemaker,
in Farm and Fireside.

The Idaho pea is a wild forage plant.

value to agriculture. 1t has been cul-

the mountain states for the past quarter
tof century, yielding excellent crops
iof feed for horses, cattle. sheep and
poultry. Some enterprising seedsmen
have recently introduced the pea as a
novelty, giving it various names and
selling the seed mt high prices as do
mestic or imported coffee berries. My
experiments in growing this plant have
been highly satisfactory and have fully
demonstrated that the pen is all the
most enthusiastic advertisers claim as
a forage plant. stock feed and coffee
substitute. The plant grows similar to
alfalfa, stooling out from the roots and
sending up dozen or more branches
to a height Of two or three feet. Every
stem is filled with leaves. branching
out at intervals of about two inches and
producing pod ut the base of each.
An ordinary plant will produce from
200 to 1000 pods. containing from one
to three peas. The peas when shelled
