Selling Crops for Fruit Culture.

Following is from an address before
the Western New York Horticultural
Society by II K. Van Deman, Of Vir-
GINA:
The cowpea is recommended for trial
as an orchard catch crop and nitrogen
gatherer. The early kinds are the only
ones to grow here Little Black grows
about knee high, is the earliest aud best
for trial here. WhippOorwill may be
tried and makes more growth Won
derful is too late, and not TO be recon-
mended. 1t is strong grower, max
ing a vine 8 to 10 feet in the south.
The cowpea will grow anywhere corn
will and is no more tender than corn
1t will mature in rs to 100 days, and is
such rapid q ower that six weeks to
two mouths time will give wonderful
growth and add great deal of the most
valuable kind Of humus to the soil
Sow | bushe Of seed per acre Just
before the last cultivation. Sow broad
cast. drill in with the grain, or, better
still, SOW in drills and cultivate. At
the Olden fruit farm in Missouri, where
they SOW 500 to 1000 acres every year,
they turn in several hundred hogs after
the apples are picked and let them eat
the cowpeas They get several carloads
Of good pork without costing anything
for grain The cowpea is the salvation
of southern agriculture. and there is
more in it for northern agriculture than
most people imagine.
The Canada pea is a wonderful plant
to add fertility to the soil. Sow it at
the time of the last cultivation, or drill
it in between the rows 1t will live long
after FIR osts come.
Rye, buckwheat and even turnips are
useful to SOW in order to add humus to
the soil. They should be plowed under
in the spring as soon as the ground is
ft Winter vetch is another crop that
will catch the nitrogen Of the air 1t
is pod-bearing plant and should be
plOwed under very early 10 spring.
Sow IL to Is pounds Of crimson
clover seed per acre. Cover 2 to 3
inches deep The cause of many fail
urcs has been in not covering deep
enough The soil should have enough
moisture in it to carry the young plant
for four or five weeks.

SPECIAL Feed Crops for Poultry.

Every poultry breeder understand
the value Of having a variety Of food
ard that it is essential for the health 0
the fowls and the pi oduction of fertil,
eggs Yet probably Dine-tenths Of poul-
try raisers think their duty done wber
they have scattered before the hens some
corn and gathered the eggs This treat
ment may appear to fulfill all necessary
obligations when fowls cau have unre
stricted range through the summer sea-
son. The necessity Of providing corn,
sometimes with wheat und oats, for win
ter food, is generally understood, but il
to these we're added a supply Of the other
grains and vegetables we would not hear
so much complaint as now Of stock
running out"
As to the special grains. buck wheat is
one Of the most valuable for the produc-
ton Of eggs. Sunhower seeds should
also be included in the bill of fare. The
large amount of oil they contain seems
to be especially valuable for young,
growing chickens They also give a
gloss and brilliancy to the feathers prob
ably unequaled by any other food Even
when fed in large quantities no bad ef-
fects follow Well-cured green corn
stalks and young tender grass and clover
should be provided for poultry as regu-
larly as hay for other stock. The soft or
poor heads of cabbage, stored by them
selves, are probably the cheapest and
most easily obtained green food during
winter
II one is extensively raising early
chickens it will pay to SOW lettuce seed
in a box aud place it in warm, sunny
window. The young and tender leaves
are easily grown, and will add greatly
to the health and growth Of the chick
ems. Onions should also be grown and
kept for feeding If chopped moderate
ly fine, they will be eagerly consumed
by fowls. Tobacco should also be grown
and used to keep the stock free from
lie. Pull the plants before frost, and
hang them in the barn or shed to dry

their comfort and more u that Of the
young.
Hemp seed is useful for chickens, but
the sunaower is good substitute, and
much more cheaply raised Peppers
are a most useful condiment during the
winter months, helping greatly in the
production Of eggs through cold weather.
A small number Of plants Of the long
red variety will produce a plentiful sup
ply, much cheaper and purer than the
ordinary ground cayenne of the stores
Beans, well-cooked, either whole or
ground, will help Gil up the list of foods
Rape seed is easily raised, and would be
useful for choice young chickens. Seeds
Of the common millet, Golden millet,
sorghum and broom corn will make
variety in the list Of good, cheap foods.
Egyptian corn, kind of sorghum is
valuable for young or old fowls Bar
ley, rye and oats are all acceptable 10

Annapolis, Md, March 1.-THE Demo
cratic majority in the Senate, after a
tedious session, lasting from II a. m. to
s p. NJ, aided by the application of the
cIoture rule, succeeded liz passing the
"Disfranchisement" Bill toni ght by vote
of II to II, strict party division.
The session opened with a spirited
squabble over the engrossment of the bin,
the Republican members OF the Engross-
ing Committee claiming that the commit
tee had not been called toget by its
Democratic chairman, and insisting that
they had not been afforded an opportunity
TO compare :he engrossed copy with the
original motion to recommit to the
committee was lost, as was also q mo-
tion to make the bill the special order
for 4Eo'clock this afternoon. Then, just
as the President of the Senate was about
to declare the bill on its final passage and
order a call of the roll, thus shutting off
debate, Senator Wilkinson, of st. Mary's
county, obtained recognition and proceed
ed to discuss the provisions of the bill at
length. He was followed by several other
Republican Senator's with the evident in
tention of wearing the Democrats out. but
at 1880 p. M, the President cut off furth-
er debate and the bill was passed.
1t now goes to the House for concur
renee in the Senate amendments. There
has been some talk to the effect that the
Dmocratic leaders in the House will nom
concur in some Of these, in which event
the passage of the bill in that branch
may be delayed, but the concensus of
opinion is that no further obstacle will be
placed in it's way and that it will go to
TIE Governor tomorrow ni@ht for his
Signature.

This is II " i Appears 10 Washington, and the
Government Would be Obliged 10
Count Cassini For Fuller
ExOIanatior,
Explanation.
(By .he Associated Press }

Washington, March 14.-Our Govern
rent has not yet been able to obtain any
thing like an official statement of the
contents of the alleged agreement be-
tween Russia and China respecting the
protectoratc over Manchura. The State
Department has, from the beginning,
sought TO discourage any kind of secret
arrangement touching China, so that the
Russian agreement, regardless of it's de-
tails, is Objectionable from this point OF
view.
The opposition to the Russian move has
not crystalized up to this moment. and
it is felt that there is every prospect
OF consummaticn of the agreement be-
tween Russia and China, unless the other
powers, who now hang undecided speed
lily come to determination to oppose it.
In view of this impending crisis, the
officials here would regard as of secondary
Importance the negotiations still in pro-
gress at Pekin respecting indemnities and
punishmonts, were it not for a belief that
there is grave danger that by an undue
insistence by the ministers at Pekin upon
the collection Of impossible. indemnities
and the continuance Of punitive meas
ures, the. United States Government will
be obliged in Difference to public senti-
mcnt here, to maintain an attitude of
exact neutrality, and withhold any as
sis:ance that might otherwise be reason
ably requested, in the greater purpose of
checking the contamination OF an agree
ment which is almost certain to result
in the partition of China.
e.. hos fn ba
hands of officials indicates that the Rus
sian agreement consists of twelve arti-
cles, not nine as has been published.
The chief concern of officials here has
been to learn how far these articles af-
feet the permanent future of Manchuria.
On their face, 1t is said, they show a re-
turn of Manchuria to China, which would
seem to be quite in keeping with the de-
sire CT all powers. But this is accepted
uron certain conditions imposed upon
China and 1t is linde rstood that these con-
ditions in effect establish a Russian
suzerainty over Manchnria, with a Rus
sian official occupying the chief executive
position, quite similar to that OF the Brit
ish Viceroy of India.
Chinese affairs received considerable at
tention at the State Department today. as
the Chinese Minister the British Ambas-
sador and the Russian Ambassador fol-
lowed each other in lengthy conferences
with Mr.. Hay. 1t is understood that in
the informal discussion with Count
Cassini, an earnest intimation was con-
veyed to him that it would be most help
full in dealing with the subject, il. a
clear and explicit understanding of Rus
sia's plans In this particular matter were
forthcoming.
