Peas for Fodder.

The most popular plan Of growing
field peas is to SOW broadcast and
plow under, three to four inches
deep. as early as can be done.
Shallow surface cultivation before
peas come up will keep weeds back
until the peas will probably get the
best of them, ifsown thickly, or two
or three bushels to the acre. For
fodder, 10 feed vines and all, cut
when the peas are in the cooking
stage. The chances are that better
results will follow if oats are sown
with the peas. Drill the oats about
a week after peas are planted. Cul.
tivate shallow once in the meantime
TO kill weeds. The peas will be
supported by the oats, the crop can
be harvested with a binder, and
when fed in the bundle it makes
one Of the cheapest and best feeds
the farm can produce.-Fieid and

rhe Worrying Democrats:

The Worrying Democrats:
THE Democrats have new and Pc
cullar cause OF complaint.
Heretofore. they have been shouting
down the war department because the
transports that carried the troops on
the long journey TO the Philippines and
back were said to be entirely insult
able and the officers and men were
treated worse than beasts on a cattle
ship.
Now they are shouting because the
transport Sumner, fitting out at New
York, is too luxurious. They say she
is a perfect Waldorf and that 1t is ex-
travagance for the government to
spend so much money providing for the
officers and men OF the United States
army.
II seems hard to please folks who are
making business OF looking for
trouble.
No patriot who appreciates the ag-
ony which must necessarily come to
the soldier sentenced to six weeks inn
prisonment on the rolling sea will feel
like protesting very much against the
provision OF anything that will con-
tribute TO his comfort.
A soldier ar sea is always a pathetic
object, as everybody lSnows-especially
sailors.
The Democrats had better hunt up
some other issue.

British and Boer:

IT is to be hoped for the prestige of
the gallant general whose coming
turned the scale in favor of the British
in the South African war, and perhaps
it is to be assumed as a matter of
course. that Lord Roberts knows just
about what he is going to find in front
Of him when he gets ready TO move.
But meanwhile the layman need not
be accused OF setting himself UP as a
critic IL he expresses little curiosity
to know what Lord Roberts thinks the
Beers are doing all this time while he
Is getting ready to attack them.
The British mistakes in South Africa
up to the coming OF Roberts. were all
on account of the supreme contempt
that the British generals had for tactics
If not their Ignorance of tactics.
In fighting the Boer they had soul
above tactics until they were taught
TO be wiser il not less bold by bitter
TeyerSeS.

Beers All Ready:

Beers All Ready:
so while Lord Roberts has been gain
ing In strength with his rest at the
capital of the Orange Free State. 1t IS
reasonable TO guess that the Beers are
in no worse shape than they would
have been had Roberts got away with
less preparation.
Indeed, II the vague reports that
come from the Boer side count for any
thing the federal troops are In very
fine fettle and have not wasted an hour
OF the opportunity whil the British
preparations for an advance have given
them TO get into shape for the next
struggle.
And so il is extremely probable, ac-
cordingly, that unless unforeseen inter-
national Intervention is brought about
or the Beers suddenly become humble
or develop a yellow streak, Of which
they have never given any indication,
the hardest part of the war Is yet to
be fought

Lord Roberts;
THE disaster that naturally followed
did not surprise even Methuen's Off
GERS according to report, not all OF them
at least. 1t was all but assured in ad-
vance.
Lord Roberts came along. gathered a
big army, and was not above using
some strategy in getting around the
enemy.
He cornered cronje and Kimberley
was relieved.
Now Lord Roberts is sitting down
and resting and collecting his rein
forcements.
Perhaps il may be found that he is
resting tso long.
The Beers are resting too.
The other day some Of Roberts off,
GERS were picked up by the enemy with
in six miles of camp.
Sundry Boer commands which it
would have been well to have captured
have wriggled away from the clrcling
cavalrymen that have been trying To
round them up and are gone to Join

valor and Discretion:

Talor and Discretion:
1T was plucky but IL was not war
Tor Butler and Methuen, for instance.
TO arrange for battle with the full
knowledge or the enemy, to practically
notify the enemy where and how they
We're going to strike before striking and
then go into the fight with an utter
disregard OF the position of the enemy,
his strength or state OF preparation.
Correspondent Wigham in Scribners
Magazine tells us that Lord Methuen
was eleven days getting ready to fight
the battle OF Magersfontein. Those
same eleven days were of course equal
1y at the command of the Beers for pre-
paration and they made good use of
them. \
The Beers knew what Methuen was
doing but Methuen did not seem to
know what the Beers were doing.
He might just as well have known
but he probably did not care.
He was going right through to Kim
berley.
IL anything happened to be in front
of him IL would have to step one side
like COW off a railroad track.

have been censured and laughed at
when they failed.
Somewhere there is successful mean
between too great cautiousness and
plunging.
AS a general principle 1t Is probably
true however that good blum IL new
er amiss i'm war and that IL Is often
better to be not quite prepared but 10
keep your enemy from guessing IL. than
10 be fully prepared and have given the
enemy a chance TO make equal pre-
paration.
Great generals have usually figured
that il their armies were tired the
other fellows must be just as tired and
no special advantage was to be gained
by giving him chance to rest just
for the sake OF getting a rest yourself.
Especially II by brave show the fact
that YOU were tired could be concealed
from the enemy.
Grant made practice OF. never let
ting UP himself and so never letting the
Confederate generals let up.
In the Spanish war nothing but
most audacious bluff saved the Ameri-
can army in Cuba from destruction
after the costly victory Of san Juan.

Hard Fighting Ahead:

Hard Fighting Ahead:
THE Beers, indeed. have never had
any especial reason for discourage
meht, and now that so much time has
been afforded them TO think 1t over
they may reasonably be expected to
have renewed their enthusiasm.
They are no longer so numerous on
British soil as they were. but, except
for Cronje's lt,le force, they have not
lost much. and their first campaign
was entirely successful in that II ac-
complished what was aimed at, to give
the British a good tussle on their own
ground and then retire on a line OF
defence nearer home.
Which they did IN a style that won
the applause of military critics all over
the world.
1t would be surprising II Lord Rob-
erts did not find himself UP against
something extremely hard when he
gets within gunshot OF the Boer out
posts and is fairly "on TO Pretoria"
The ultimate result OF the war is OF
course no more in doubt than 1t has
ever been. But that the heaviest fight
ing is yet to come seems most likely.
