SAILORS MORE INTELLIGENT.
The jolly Tar OF other Days Has Beea
Replaced by an Up-to-Date
seaman.

The recent popularity OF American
seamen and the preference for them in
the merchant marine have a sound ex-

the rollicking, hornpipe dancing, unso-
phisticated mariner, was well enough

ors are required, and, naturally enough,
when up-to-date sailors are needed,
American jack tars are right in il. An
authority on life on the ocean wave has
recently described the changes in work
on board ship as follows: The modern
ship differs very much from the ship of
years ago. Her rigging is of steel and
the sails are hoisted and the capstan is
turned by steam, There are various
mechanical contrivances, patent hall
lizards and blocks, unknown until re-
Gently. To handle a ship rightly re-
quires more intelligence than former
ly in a sailor. IL takes less than one
half as many men to handle a ship of
1000 tons as il did % years ago. but
they must be good men. And all cap
tains agree that the American sailor
can do the work in modern ship as no
other sailor can.

THE COWPEA.
Az IN Agent I'm Successful and Pro-
ErcssiCc southern Farming

An oh Agent I'm Successful and Pro-
sressivc Southern Farming.
In discussing farming IN North Caro-
INA and urging the benefits of growing
the southern field or cow pea Professor
Massey has said: 1t is not in it's direct
action on the soil that the value of the
cowpea GENES in to great extent.
Some persons will ask, eff the growth
OF the pea is such Il benefit to the soil,
why not get 1T ut once by blowing un-
der the whole crop" Much has been
written, in the north especially, in re-
gard to what they call "grccu manur-
ing, ana many there advocate the
growing of crops of clover or peas for
the sole purpose of turning them under
for manure
This is very shortsighted policy
anywhere and particularly Ia the
south. The blowing under of q mass
OF green vegetation in warm climate,
and especially on a sandy soil, Is apt
to result in the evolution of organic
acids to such an extent as at times to
render the land so treated for time
wholly unproductivc. Green manur-
ing is wrong for another reason. If
We turn under ut midsummer the green
growth. we cut short the nitrogen
gathering the plants would do for us,
for the greater part OF this is done in
:he Litter part of the plants growth,
md by turning 1t under green we lose
large part of the work that 1t would
have done later on and at the same
time run the risk of iniuring rather
than bcnelitinS the soil. But the most
important point is that we thus bury
crop worth usually at least $50 per
acre as food for stock. Now it must
be remarkably profitable crop that
succeeds such an expenditure Of food
to make this pay.
All experiments here and elsewhere
have shown that the best way is to
cure the peas as hay and to feed them
to stock and save all the manure care
fully to be returned to the soil. And it
has also been proved that fully 75 per
cent of the manurial value can be thus
saved and that the feeding value can
be fully realized in addition and a
profit made from the animals fed.
The slavish dependence OF the south
crn farmer on the fertilizer manufac-
tUrcr has been largely brought about
by the failure to make the feeding of
stock an important part Of our work.
Stock feeding and the saving of manure
lie at the vcry' foundation Of all sue
ccsSful agriculture, and the man who
supposcs that in the long run he can
do with commercial fertilizers alone
Will find that he does it at the expense
of tho permanent fertility of the SOIL
The pea, aided by the application of
mineral fertilizers, will give us a good
deal of the organic matter that we
need. but the organic matter and plant
food in the. form Of barnyard and sta
bic manure have never yet been fully
initiated in chemical matters alone
Where there is no profit in the feeding
of stock it is true that we can bury
the peas in the soil or feed them off on
the ground to hogs and make the soil
Increasingly fertile, but there are few
localities in the south where the feed
ing of beef or dairy animals cannot be
made profitable part of the farm
work.

who will command the respect of the

man whom the newspapers of the nation
have unanimously condemned and whose
political methods have brought disgrace
upon the state? Does the Tribune want
to see united democratic party in this
state or does it want to see the party
wrecked by persistent effort to force the
Clark candidacy down the Threats of self

Does the Tribune know of nobody except
Clark who would represent Montana in

The Tammany officials in New York,
including Mayor Van Wyck and Croker
have gotten themselves into the most
serious kind of political trouble by the
exposure of their connection with the
ice trust in that city. The trust, after
subsidizing all of the city officials, Il
number of the state officials and Z. G.
Plat. the republican state boss, doubled
the price of ice to the consumer. 1t was
a cool proposition. but strange to say, it
resulted in getting whole lot of people
into hot water. Governor Roosevelt
talks of removing Van Wyck from office,
but he isn't saying anything about re-
moving T. G. Platt from the United
States senate. The difference is that
Van Wyck is democrat while Plat and
Roosevelt are republicans.
