manure crop, whether considered d.
rectly or indirectly, or both. Ii
plowed in, the vines are worth five or
six dollars per ton for manure. If
permitted to die on the land and re-
main all winter, they manure the soil.
If cut and fed to cattle, and the ma
nure properly handled, it is equal in
feeding value to any other plants, un-
less it be cotton seed meal. The peas
are the very best manure for sugar
cane.
But while growing, the pea vines
have the power of gathering ammonia
from the atmosphere and fixing 1t in
the roots, so as to greatly increase
the fertility of the soil. 1t is indeed
wonderful plant. 1t is the farmers
true friend. 1t helps to feed and en-
rich the farmer and his stock, and at
the same time feeds and enriches the
soil. Because the COW pea gathers food
from the air and enriches the soil,
many conclude that the pea does not
need any fertilizing assistance. This
is mistake. The more vigorous you
make the pea plant, the larger and
stronger will be the roots, and hence
the greater benefit will result to the
soil on which they grow. But we
must use discretion in fertilizing
them. They need phosphoric acid and
potash to make them vigorous and
strong and full fruited. An average
application would be 800 pounds OF
acid phosphate and 300 pounas of
kainit, broadcasted and worked well
into the soil before planting. We thus
see how we can help ourselves doubly
by applying fertilizers to peas. We
will get heavier crop of hay and
peas, either or both, and while doing
so will store away more fertilizer for
the next crop of corn, wheat, oats or
anything we wish to plant.
Peas not only add to the fertility
of the soil, but they greatly improve
the mechanical condition of the soil.
They make it porous, so that it holds
the rain water, and fills the soil with

plant food already in the soil.
We will do well to plant large crops
of peas. Put some in rows, and cul-
tivate, and SOW some broadcast after
grain crops. Sow them broadcast in
the corn when laying by. The Whip
poorwills are a good variety for this
purpose.
You can rapidly build up your farm
by judicious planting of cow peas.
This should be done not only on poor
lands, but on our best lands. They
not only increase the fertility of worn
and exhausted lands, but of all soils.
A continued use of peas will give re-
newed fertility to all soils, and con-
stantly improve the filth of the soil,
and continually yield larger and larg-
er crops of hay and peas. We get two
profits, each increasing from year to
year. If we feed them to our own cat
tie, we get three large profits.
Do not plant too many per acre. A
few vigorous vines are better than
many small weak ones.-J. b. Hunni

THE VALUABLE cow PEA.
One of the Most Valuable Forage
and Feed Crops to the
Southern Farmer.

The season is now on for planting
forage and feed crops of many kinds
Among these, few, il any, surpass in
possibilities the COW pea. These peas
grow over wide extent of latitude
and longitude. They produce in the
pea valuable food for man and beast.
If ground, or if fed with the hull on,
they constitute almost complete ra-
ton. If the vine be added they fur
nish both hay and grain to cattle.
They are equally adapted to fesh-pro-
ducing in beef cattle and to milk and
muscle production in the diary cattle.
They can be grazed by cattle, or
mules, or hogs, or by all three at once.
Or they may be cut with mower or
blade, and cured and fed with the
pods on. Or the seed may be picked
and the vines fed alone. Or they may
be cut green and put in the silo.
In any of these ways, they can be
fed with success. They give health
and strength and flesh, and milk and
butter. Again, the whole growth is
valuable for food-roots, vines, pods
and leaves. Not only is this true, but
the plant has wonderful value as q

The advice of the executive council
of the International Cigar Makers I'M
ion to its local branches to carefully
investigate conditions before going on
strike is timely and evidently needed.
The right to strike does not necessarily
imply that every strike entered into by
local unions is justified or can even be
defended upon the grounds of COM
mon sense. More money is wasted on
useless and often senseless strikes
than would have been sufficient to
save some of the big strikes from de-
feat. If the advice to investigate con-
ditions before striking were strictly
followed out, strikes would rarely oc-
cur, for If conditions We're found to
be in favor of the strikers winning it
is certain that a settlement would be
reached without the strike taking
place On the other hand, if conditions
were found to be not favorable for
winning, it would be equally sure that
no strike would take place. The prob
lem therefore of How to avoid strikes"
is one capable of solution, provided
a little common sense is used.-Chicago
