The recent death of Ed Stokes has
called to mind that the widow of Jim
Fisk, Stokes famous victim, is still
living on an obscure street in East
Boston. She is a sister in-law of
Col. George W. Hooker of Brattle-
boro and though Jim Fisk left mil
lion she got very little of it and the
modest income she now has comes
principally from part ownership with
Col. Hooker of a business block in

cow PEAS AMONG CORN.
A Satisfactory Experiment in Plant.
ing Cow Peas in the Field
with Corn.

One of the experiments l decided
to make last year was the planting
of cow-peas between the hills in the
corn rows. Last spring my corn was
planted late in May. When it was up
and cultivated once over l planted
one acre to cow-peas, putting the
seed in half way between the hills
with a hand corn-planter. The soil
was in good condition, so the job was
easy and quickly done. The variety
planted was the black, an early, mod
erately dwarf sort. The plants soon
appeared, but did not in the least in
terfere with the subsequent cultiva-
tons of the corn. The drought set
in, followed by the burning hot winds
of July, and the corn made less than
half crop. The peas grew slowly
all summer, and when the corn was
cut, the last days of August, they
were ten to fifteen inches in height
and fairly well supplied with seed
pods. September IL l drew in the fod-
der and tethered a milk-cow on the
peas. September 20 sharp frost
killed all that remained, but I kept
the cow on them and she took off
every pod. Before I tethered her on
the peas she had been steadily falling
in yield of milk, but from :he first
meal the yield increased until frost
nipped the peas, when the yield ,cgan
to decrease again.
The experiment this season showed
| that the peas can be put in quite rap
idly with hand corn-planter; that
! they do not interfere with the sultiVa-
ton of the corn, and that they will do
| fairly well in the rows. If the corn be
an early maturing variety and is
drawn off the land as cut, or soon al
terward, the peas will give a large
quantity of most excellent pasturags
at season when green food is apt
to be quite scarce. In case drought
cuts the corn short, as it did this sea-
son, the peas will still make fair
quantity of pasturage. Should chinch-
bugs destroy the corn the peas Will
quickly cover the ground and make a
large quantity of excellent hay or
pasturage and at the same time i'm
prove the soil. If there are indications
that chinch-bugs are going to be
abundant l think it would be a good
idea to plant cow-peas in all the corn
adjoining wheat or oats. A strip fifty
to one hundred rows wide would Gov
er most that would likely be dam
aged by the bugs.-Cor. Farm and

HAS COME TO STAY.
Raising of AnEora Goats IL Proht.
able, Not a Fad Like the
Belgian Hare Craze.

Fads come and go because they iacL
that quality which gives thing per
manence. At first the growing OF
Angora goats was designated a fad
comparable with the Belgian hare
fad, and it was freely predicted that
the producer Of mohair would soon
go. But not so. The Angora has
come to stay. We wouldn't run
farm without a small flock OF these
interesting animals. They are fast
becoming very popular and we think
rightly SO, inasmuch as they are both
useful and profitable.
If the prejudice against goat meat
were as stubborn as it is against the
consumption of horse meat then we
should despair of overcoming it, but
the aversion to goat meat is not
based upon its alleged inferior quail
ty as compared with mutton, but
upon the slim fact that the goat
''smells bad" We would ask if sheep
"smell good?" The odor of the goat
does not affect his flesh, but comes
from the oil in his long hair. The
meat of the goat is said to be just
as good as mutton, and while we do
not remember of having sampled it
we doubt if one man in 100 can tell
the difference, although the entire
number would perhaps object to eat
ing goat meat. We think the preju-
dice against the goat is unfounded
and will be overcome. 1t ought to
at any rate. The consumption OF
goat meat would not decrease the
| use of mutton very materially for
many years to come. And even il
it did, what right have sheep owners
or others to kick?
| There is no lodging the fact that
the Angora goat has a fine future
in this country, and we look for il
to spread to the four sides of the
| country. Wherever it grows weeds
will lose their footing. The goat is
a valuable farm scavenger and de-
serves place not for that reason
alone, but because he furnishes a val
liable fleece and toothsome meat, ant
is therefore more than able to pay
his way. If you don't agree with tn.
statements made it would be fairel
to say so after you have given tn,
Angora fair trial.-Farmers' Voice

through these holes from end to end

loosely at first, as they must be

apart, successive sticks being turned

Danger in Feeding Swill,

Swine that are fed on hotel swill
and kitchen Stops often become vic.
Tins of sickness showing much the
same symptoms as those of hog
cholera. The animals suffer from
diarrhea and partial paralysis, and
nearly all of those attacked die. The
trouble is caused by the presence OF
a quantity of alkaline soaps in such
swill, which poisons the swine. It is
never safe to feed hotel swill, and ii
is safe to feed kitchen slops only
when we know that no quantity OF
soap has become mixed with it,

HERE AND THERE.

knowledge is not worth ten cents
a bushel when it is not put to
good use. Many farmers know better
than they do.
Those who have the nerve to feed
good cattle and properly finish them
this fall and winter will surely find
it profitable.
If people were bound to silence
upon all subjects of which they are
ignorant, what sudden and all pre-
vailing hush there would be at times!
"A soft voice and carressing
touch will induce well-bred cow to
give up the last drop of milk in her
udder, because it gives her real pleas
ure to do so.
The man who is to succeed as
farmer must not only be industrious,
but, to use an expression of one who
knows, he must have IAN almost ig-
nominious love of details"
Filth can not be strained out of
milk. The only remedy for filthy
milk is to throw it away, if it is too
bad for the pigs. Pigs will often eat
milk that is too bad for human food.
1t is far easier to grow fruit than
| to market the crop at profit. In
this, as in everything else that men
do, the main thing is to know how.
The markets must be studied in order
to know just what buyers want, and
how they want it.
1t is profitable to raise hogs in
conjunction with the dairy; provided,
nevertheless, that the conjunction is
not too contiguous. A hog pen, OF
hogs, without the pen, in or about
the dairy barn, will spoil the best
milk that can be drawn.

Good steers for feeding purposes
can now be had at less figures thar
last year, while the indications are
that good cattle, well finished, will
bring much higher prices this fall ane
winter than were paid for the same
class of cattle last year.

A New Horse Disease.

The disease, pronounced to be cere-
bro-spinal meningitis, continues to
play havoc with the horses in
Worcester county, Nd, and nothing
yet has been found that will effect a
cure when a horse is once down.
DR.. Buckley, veterinarian of the
Maryland Agricultural college, and
DR.. w. G. McAllum, of the Johns
Hopkins university, have been inves-
tigating the disease and it's causes.
They took away with them parts OF
the brain and blood of horses just
dead and will make further tests.
DR.. McAllum says the disease is un-
doubtedly brain trouble and is not
meningitis, but is encephalitis.
