In the closing paragraph OF an eX
tended review of the life work of Ex-
Gov. Pingree, the Farmers Voice of
Chicago says: >''Nor has his service
to humanity ended with his death. If
we mistake not, his trip through
South Africa will yet prove one of the
most clear and comprehensive revela-
tions given to the world of the condi-
tions which exist in that unhappy
land today and of the real attitude of
Great Britain toward people which
command in all ways our sympathy
and friendship. Armed with creden-
tials from Secretary Chamberlain, the
ex-governor and his son were permit
ted such an insight into affairs as few
could enjoy, but the fact that he went
under such auspices could not blind
the eyes of one whose whole nature
reached out in sympathy to the COM
mon folk; and he told his friends on
his return to London of the impress
sion made by what he saw. First of
all, he was struck by the high order
of intelligence and fine citizenship of
the Beers, whom he had been led to
believe were little better than bar
barians, and he became convinced of
the justice of their cause. It is to be
hoped that he has left behind him, in
some form which may yet be given to
the public, his views upon this grave
and important matter"

Is 1t Truep

The New York World is authority
for this statement: ''The World is al
so in position to announce on unim-
peachable authority that two days be-
fore the Porto Rico cases were decid-
ed the court had unanimously agreed
that the constitution was in force
wherever the United States exercised
sovereignty. But Immediately before
the court met to make its decision
public, Justice Brown changed his at
titude on the question.
If we accept this as a correct state
ment, it would seem strange that
Justice Brown could on so short notice
make so material a change. Justice
Browns opinion was most radical
one. 1t is to be hoped, however, that
the Worlds "unimpeachable author
ity' may be successfully impeached.
The character of Justice Browns
opinion, bad as it is, is not so bad as
would be condition wherein justices
of the highest court in the land flop
ped on moments notice. In the in
come tax decision we had one instance
of a judge changing his mind between
sessions, and that instance did consid-
cradle damage to the supreme court

Post once Department Says Rural Carriers
Cannot Engage in Any Other Busi-
ness or Oeeupatlan.

Washington, July 4.-The post Office
department will shortly issue an order
prohibiting all carriers of rural de-
livery mail from engaging in any other
business while performing their duties
as such carriers. Complaints have
recently been received at the depart-
ment stating that many rural free
delivery carriers in different sections
of the country have been making it
practice of delivering or selling
goods along their mail routes fur
nished by grocery and liquor dealers,
who have readily perceived the adj
vantage of reaching rural customers
by means of the mail man. 1t is said
that the carriers, in some instances,
became so Industrious in attending to
This incidental business that they soon
began to neglect their regular duties.

Washington, July 4.-The weather
bureau has reiterated its announce
ment that there is no permanent
break in the hot spell in sight. Six
teen deaths in the past six DAYS have
been either directly or Indirectly at
tributed to the heat.
During the six deys of excessive
heat which nave prevailed in New
England, nearly 100 deaths have oc-
CURED, Of this number, "a have died
"a Boston. The number of prostra-
tons in New England will reach sew
eral hundred. In Boston there have
been nearly $50,
At PittsbUrg, Pa, the torrid wave
was broken at nine o'clock Wednesday
morning by rain. The mercury
dropped from 81 degrees to n in a
few minutes Efghtty-six deaths di-
Fsctly attributed to the excessive
heat have occurred in Pittshurg since
last Wednesday, Of this number, 81
were reported since Sunday night.
At Baltimore, 80 deaths from heat
and so cases of prostrations due to the
same cause have been reported to the
police during the present hot spell,
A gentle rain began falling in Cieve-
land early Wednesday, and as a result
the Temperature fell to 76 degrees.

IR New York City the day opened
with lower temperature, caused
from heavy transforms, with every in.
lication that the day would remain

There were so many bodies in the

not hold them all. The dead wagons
and police patrol wagons were bring
ing in others constantly, and 1T was
necessary to send the remains of go
persons to the potters' field before
the expiration of the five days usual
ly allowed for Identification or rec
Iamation.
At Kansas City. Mo-, at noon
Wednesday the weather bureau report
ed a temperature of 81 degrees. This
| is four degrees hotter than at noon
Tuesday. From II to IL o'clock the

No prostrations were reported, prob
ably due to the fact that the humidity
was lower than Tuesday Throughout
the southwest the same conditions
prevail with no relief in sight.

London, July 4.-Lord Roberts tes-
tilted Wednesday before the royal
commission, which is considering the
claims of foreigners depOrted from
South Africa. The commander-in-chief
dealt with the plots against his life
and the deportation of the ringlead-
ers. He said the officers and en-
ployers of the Netherlands railroad
were so hostile to the British that
many of them had to be deported.
Every consideration was shown them.
He personally Investigated the great
majority of cases and sanctioned none
unless on adequate grounds. No diff
ference was made on account of ma

sow Peas as a SECOND crop.
pertinent Station, Manhattan, Kans.

Experiment Station, Manhattan, Kans.
Cow-pea hay is nearly eqnal to al
falfa in feeding value and contains
nearly one-half more f1esh-and-milk-
making material than clover hay. 1t
is rich in the mineral matter that is
needed in forming bone, blood, flesh,
and milk. These qualities make it
especially valuable for feeding grow
ing cattle and pigs, dairy COWS, and
fattening steers and hogs: The COW
pea enriches the land on which it
grows the same as alfalfa, clover, and
soy beans. 1t makes hard soils mel
low and aids in holding loose soils to-
gether and stands drouth well. In
Kansas, COW peas can often be grown
as a second crop after wheat and oats.
July is, 1900, f. A. and T. G. Alb
bott, Manhattan5 HANS, planted tif-
teen acres of cow7peas. on oat stubble
on sandy river bottom. A crop of
oats was grown on the land and har-
vested. After the. oats were stacked
the ground was listed, the lister open
ing the burrows in the oat stubble
just as it was left at harvest. The
burrows were run about three feet
apart, and the cow peas were drilled
in the bottom of the burrows with an
ordinary one-horse corn-driIl, four
bushels of seed being used to plant
fifteen acres. The drill did not cover
the seed well and the ground was har-
rowed to get more dirt in the burrows.
The Whlpoorwill variety was used.
The beans were cultivated twice
with an ordinary two horse cultiva-
tor. This left the ground nearly level
at the lost cultivation. The season
was very dry, but the beans made a
heavy growth and at the time of cut
ting, October 4, stood two feet high
and covered the space between the
rows.
The Abbotts tried to cut the crop
with a mower, but found this unsatiS-
factory as the mower could not reach
the vines that were on the ground,
and with part of the vines cut and
part uncut it was difficult to gather
the tangled mass. Finally, after con-
Sultation at the Kansas Experiment
Station, the Miller Bean Harvester
was tried and found to do the work
just right. The machine is made by
the LIE Roy Plow Company, LIE Roy,
N. Y, and was designed for harvest
ing navy beans, but it was found just
as successful in harvesting soy beans
and COW peas.
With the Miller harvester, two rows
were cut at time, the knives cutting
off the plants just below the surface
of the ground and the wings above
the knives throwing the vines from
the two rows together into windrow.
The vines were put up in small cocks,
where they were left to cure until dry
enough to stack. The yield of hay
was estimated to be one ton per acre,
possibly little more.
June %, 1900, the Kansas Expert
ment Station plowed ground from
which wheat had been harvested and
planted it to Whipoorwill cow peas,
using an ordinary preSs-wheel grain
drill and letting the seed run from
every hole. The ground was dry and
no rain fell for some time. Many of
the cow peas sprouted and died, and
not over one-tnird of a stand was Sc
cured.
When the soil is sufficiently moist,
we recommend surface planting: when
dry we advise listing. The College
has no seed for sale.
