This matter having been discussed
time aud again by prominent writers,
there seems but little left to say on the
subject, but if the editor will give me

The Southern farmers find that the COW
pea is one of the most prOftabl, crops
for feeding and land renovating, while
in the North our farmers fud them a
paying crop, and are giving this South
ern cereal a welcome The Southern
farmers are gratifed to see COW peas
creeping slowly bat surely northward
Not only as a land rcnovator will it
benefit our Northern brother, but the
abundance of fine bay the COW peas
make will be great aid in helping to
winter the Northern farmers stock.
We lind the COW pea plant best
adapted to warm climate, therefore it
is not safe to sow in the North until
after danger Of frost is over they grow
very fast in the South. We can obtain

makes remarkable yield of peas and
not very heavy growth of vines. The
black pea is If later variety and makes
an enormous yield of vine, but fewer

peas in about eighty-6ve days from date
of planting The hay fom COW peas is
relished by all stock This hay, when
cut at the proper time and cured prop

fed on it give in return large flow of

When both peas and vines are fed
they make a very good balanced ration
Cow peas also are very fine to fatten

wheat which made thirteen bushels per

wheat again, aud received a yield of

MONEY IN MULES.

In one Of the stock notes 10 a recent
Farm Journal some one reflects that
"there must be money in raising mules
If the producer gets fair share OF the
amount the buyer has to pay for them
Will you let friend Of the mule have
little space in which to speak a kind
word for him says a writer in the jour
nal mentioned. The recent Govern
ment Report Upon the Numbers aud
Values of Farm Animals" reveals quite
a large number Of interesting facts, Of
which probably few have been aware
10 it mules are quoted higher than any
other farm stock, higher even than that
noblest of all domestic animals-the
horse.
The figures compiled by the statisti-
clan from data furnished by correspond
ents oil over the United States give the
comparative values of stock graded into
four classes-under one year, between
one and two. between two and three,
and over three.
In the first three classes, which take
in oil under three years old, there are
but four States which count horses more
valuable than mules. But the bulk of
the stock is, of course, over three years
old. and there is not single State
which does not estimate its mules of this
class as worth more per head than its
horses
10 fact, the total figures for the cOun-
try credit the mule as being almost 8
per cent more valuable than the horse,
the general average being for horses
S89. 35 and for mules $95.3S. The rela-
1--WE values of animals under three years
are even further apart, mule colts being

Now, what is the lesson to the be
gathered from these fgures2 Simply
,his-there is money for somebody in
mules. A mule can be carried from
brit to market day at rs per cent less
cost than the horse colt, can be put into
market earlier and find buyer quicker.

duce ut profit, don't forget the mule.
Either raise them yourself or buy them

Heilsingfors, Finland, Nov. 1.-THE
Finlanders are showing restlessness as
result of the Outstanding measures of
the St. Petersburg government. Self
restraint is beginning to yield to will
ingness on the part of a portion Of the
population to tolerate acts of violence.
Such acts have hitherto been severely
frowned down. Another serious indica-
ton is the beginning of closer relations
between Finlanders and Russian reVolu-
tionists, a contamination devoutly wish
ed for by the latter, but hardly to the
taste of Interior Minister Won PlehWe
The altered temper of TIE people

ease and starvation. The crops failed to
ripen. The grain, cut green, makes mis-
erably. unhealthy bread. In places bread
