About The Roberts Case.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Mr. Taylor, OF
Ohio, said, after the executive session:
that the committee was considering
whether it should go to Utah or have
the witnesses come here, and that no
decision had been reached. Mr..
Schroeder, against whom Roberts made
his protests, said, after the meeting:
When the consideration of the case
of Mr.. Roberts was resumed this morn
ing, Mr.. Roberts was asked if he con-
ceded the existence of the court record
wherein he pleaded guilty in 1889 un-
der the Edmunds-Tucker law. This
he conceded. He was next asked
whether, about 1887, or since 1890, he
married plural wives and had lived
with them since that time as wives.
To the whole of this charge Roberts
pleaded not guilty, and then demurred
to the jurisdiction of the committee.

The Velvet Bean.

A bulletin of the Alabama expert
ment station says: The velvet bean
(Mucuna utilis) is a plant which, in
stems, is nearly similar to the run
ming varieties of cow peas. The vines
attain great lengths, a growth Of
twenty feet being usually made and
much greater lengths being sometimes
attained. The beans are larger than
cowpeas and usually three or four are
found in each pod. The pods are short
covered with a coat Of velvety hairs.
The velvet bean telongs to the same
family as the cowpea. It is a legume
or leguminous plant, and like the cow
pea, the velvet bean is a renovating
plant, having the power to enrich the
land on which it grows.
In any comparison Of velvet beans
with cowpeas as a renovating crop,
there is one point in which velvet
beans are conspicuously superior.
When frost comes the vines and leaves
settle down together in such a way
that the force Of falling rain is brok-
en- and the network of vines is so
complete that the leaves, the most
valuable portion, cannot be blown or
washed away. With cowpeas the case
is somewhat different, the bare stems
standing erect and affording no means
of retaining the leaves in place. On
the other hand better implements are
required to turn under vines Of the

FARM AND GARDEN.
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
AGRICULTURISTS
Some Up-to-Date Hints About Gull
ttvatiOn of the Soil and Yields
Observation-Disclosures VIticuIture and
Horticulture.
Agricultural Notes.

The value Of animal manure to our
farms is seldom realized We speak
Of commercial fertilizers as a necessity
to some of our lands and we speak
truly. But the correct use of our
barnyard manure means the adding
every year of many millions Of dollars
to the value of our farms. For this
reason there is close connection be-
tween the number Of live stock in the
country and the fertility OF our farms.
In the last few years our sheep, hogs,
cattle and horses have decreased by
many millions. This means that it is
possible for us to put many millions
less tons Of manure on our land than
formerly. Consider the manurial prod
uct from q single animal, and then
consider it from all the animals In the
country. 1t is safe to say that during
the late depression our farm lands
have deteriorated enormously, due to
the lessened supply of manure from
farm animals. If the higher prices
now obtained succeed in stimulating
breeding they will confer an indirect
but great blessing on our agricultural
communities by increasing the fertil
ity possibilities of the soil.
There are few if any poor farms that
cannot be made good farms provided
they were ever good farms. A worn
out farm is not a necessary result OF
cultivating a farm for generations. In
other parts of the world some Of the
most fertile farms at the present day
are those that have been cultivated for
hundreds and thousands of years. The
Almighty, when he made the earth for
the abode of man, did not so construct
the soil that its fertility might be ex-
hausted in a generation or two. Where
there are poor, rundown farms we
may be assured that there has been
mismanagement in cultivation. Not
only is it possible to grow all the
crops we now grow without running
down the farm, but it is possible to
take a rundown farm and bring it
back to state Of fertility greater than
that known in any previous period Of
its existence. Nor is miraculous
amount Of knowledge needed to do
this. 1t only requires a study by the
owner of the best methods Of handling
farm as they are now taught in our
agricultural colleges, in the agricul-
tural press and by many Of our best
farmers.
