LEGUMES IN ORCHARDS.
Pr0Gressive Fruit Grower Every.
where Now Recognize Their
Value as Fertilizers.

For fertilizing orchards the value Of
some of the leguminous plants is adj
mitted, though they are not yet in
general use. The details of their
growth, cultivat ton and, utility are SUBJ
Jects for study and considerati on, that
we may learn how and when to use the
different varieties to the best advan-
tage. Their roots penetrate deep into
the soil, making it more porous and
decompose more or less of the hard
est substances with which they come
in contact. The roots also support
bacteria which have the power to
change the free nitrogen of the air
into plant food. The thick epidermis
of the leaves prevents rapid evapo-
ration from their surfaces, the heavy
foliage shades the ground, checking
the loss of moisture by the direct &C.
ton of the sun and wind, at the same
time keeping the temperature of the
soil at lower point through the hot
months than if cultivation was used.
The cow pea is the more generally
known, and different methods of cul-
tivation are practiced. The common
plan in my locality is to pillow the land,
harrow it once or twice and plant the
seed with a wheat drill or double row
with corn planter, then leave the
crop to take; care of itself. Some
times the seed is sowed broadcast on
freshly plowed land and narrowed in,
there is always some Of the seed lost
by this method in dry time. After
the plants are strong enough to resist
the teeth of the implement in use,
they might be narrowed or gone ever
with a weeder to advantage.
I claim better results are obtained
by thorough preparation of the seed
bed, then planting in rows, about thir-
teen inches apart, and cultivating shall
low, keeping the surface level until
they shade the ground. I think the
difference in yield is more marked on
poor land than on land well supplied
with humus, even then the seed saved
and the benefit to the soil of good cul-
tivation is worth considering. Plant
ing this way one bushel of seed
will be sufficient for four to six acres.
The seed should not be planted until
the ground is in condition to germi-
nate it without delay. The COW pea
is from a warm climate and the seed
will rot sooner than corn in cool,

ers' Review.

CALF BECAME CHURN.
Weird Tale just Received from Mich.
iGan Records an Extraordinary
Bovine Tragedy.

Among their numerous herds, Blake
Bros, of Galesburg, Mich, have pre-
MUM Jersey COW with pedigree W.
ting in length with that of the ''oldest
family"
This COW has always been celebrated
Tor the extremely rich character of
her milk, and the following startling
tale would seem to vindicate the claim:
It is just one week since Betsy, as the
COW is called, gave birth to fine heifer
calf.
Owing to it's lineage the little bovine
was regarded as being an unusually
valuable specimen, and consequently
was, up to this morning, kept within
the narrow confines of horse stall in
the barn.
But after it's breakfast to-day, which
meal it partook of in the natural way,
it was thought best to givei an oppor-
tunity for exercise, and it was turned
loose in the barnyard, where it frol-
licked to it's hearts content for perhaps
ten minutes. at the end of which period
it dropped dead.
1t was ascertained on examination
that the milk with which it's little
stomach had been distended had been
literally churned by It's playful gam
bols, and that it contained little
more than six pounds of the golden
product.
It is supposed. says special to the
New York World, that the immature
digestive organs of the poor little calf
were unequal to the unaccustomed
strain, and it's life was sacrificed in the
effort.

REMOVED MANNERS BUMP.
Vienna Surgeon Operates on thu
Brain of n Young Man with
Queer Result.

DR.. Karl Diwald, one Of the best
known surgeons in Vienna, has just
drawn attention to a very peculiar
case, says London paper.
Ayoung man who was attending the
military college was accidentally shot
in the head by a revolver, and DIR.
Diwald, who was summoned to attend
him, extracted the ball and at the same
time removed fragment of the brain.
Serious results were expected, but
the young man speedily recovered and
soon afterward passed a successful
examination.
Strange, to say, however, since the
operation took place his manners and
habits have been deplorable, which is
the more remarkable since he was re-
puted to have been one of the most
polished young men in Vienna. His
associates. now say that they cannot
tolerate him and that even at table he
IS constantly guilty of gross breaches
of good manners.
DR.. Diwald maintains that the por-
ton of the brain which he removed
while extracting the bullet must have
been that very part which controls all
matters relating to decorum and good
conduct; in other words, that the
bump of good manners is located in
that part Of the brain, and, that, since
he has lost it, the young man finds it
impossible to display good manners.

Phosphate Fertilizers.

Phosphates promote the formation
of flower and fruit and secure earlier
ripening. They may be widely used
on vines and succulent fruits that are
liable to be cut by early frosts in
autumn, securing early crops with bet
ter prices and avoiding the loss of the
entire crop by untimely frosts be-
fore the most of the crop had ripened.
Fruit trees sometimes blossom year
after year without producing fruit.
This is often caused by storms at the
period of Towering, but it may be
caused by constitutional weakness, in
consequence of which pollen of vital
power is not formed. In such cases
the use of phosphates is worthy of

New Vegetables from Asia

A New York dealer tells the Sun of
two vegetables introduced about four
years ago and still new to the public.
One is oriental romaine, winter salad
from China, now grown at the south
as far as North Carolina. A head of
it is the length of an ear of corn, and
is about the same size except at the
lower end, which is dubious. 1t is
made up of long, narrow leaves, fold
ed solidly together. 1t sells by the
pound at Is to 20 cents a head, weigh
ing one pound, more or less. The other
vegetable is Japanese crosue, a salad
garnish, and also eaten cooked, now
grown chiefly in France. It is about
two inches long, and half an inch in
diameter, of an artichoke nature. In
Japan they are eaten cooked, picked
and as a salad. They are imported in
15-pound baskets, and sell at 40 cents
pound.

that substance when the latter is in

Breeding for Better Cows.

The cows on many farms would be
considered first-class producers if each
cows product amounted to 200 pounds
of butter per year, yet it is claimed by
some of the best dairymen that 200
pounds of butter per year from COW
does not pay. Those who aim to make
the most butter from their herds have
the standard up to 800 pounds per year,
and some fix the limit higher. Every
farmer can have the individual men,
bers of his herd reach that amount by
breeding for better cows every year.

INFLUX FROM FAR NORTH.
Emigration from scandinavian COun.
tries Shows q Large Annual
Increase.

The arrivals IN the United States of
people from the Scandinavian coun-
tries show large annual increase. Ac-
cording to official figures the numbers
of these thrifty and intelligent ma
tives of the far north who arrived here
during the first six months of the
present year are as follows: Sweden,
$1,000; Norway, 1890; Finland, 10,4S5;
Denmark, 4,93s; total, 46,733. For the
corresponding period of 1901 the fig
ures for the four countries named
were 3O,936, an increase for 1902 of over
so per cent. Though large, the figures
are not surprising. AS long ago as last
spring it was predicted that Norway
would lose 10000 of her sons and
daughters, and should the ratio of the
first half of the year be maintained
during the second half the prediction
will be quite verified and the highest
record for emigration from Norway
will be established, says a census au-
thority.
The explanation is not difficult. The
industrial conditions Of Norway are
distinctly unfavorable to the laboring
classes, and when agents, like Con-
gresham Eddy, for instance, appeared
in the larger cities with alluring Of
fers for high wages, it was quite natur-
al that sturdy Norsemen should be
tempted to country where so many
thousands of their brethren had found
prosperity and independence. In
Sweden the conditions appear to be
somewhat better, for while the emil
grafton figures are somewhat larger
the percentage is much smaller, for
Sweden has a population more than
twice as large as Norway's. The num-
bers are large enough, however, to fill
many of the leading men with appre-
hension.
Finland's quota to the hegira from
the Scandinavian countries is hardly
as large as was expected. It is we'll
known, however, that the Russian gov
eminent is exerting all it's authority
to restrict emigration and some of the
measures are necessarily harsh. Lack
of means is also restraining many
thousands from escaping from the in
tolerant rule of the minions of Car
Nicholas, who, among the Films, is not
credited with the benevolent and hui
manitarian views so readily accorded
to him elsewhere. Thrifty little Den.
mark is not losing nearly as many az
her sister countries and the figures
