Harvesting cowpea Hay.

Please give information on the follow
ing subjects through The Journal:
Following your advice TO the farmers
some time since 1 sowed several acres in
cowpeas and sorghum. 1t is now about
knee high. When will be the proper time
to NOW It? I am believer in peavines to
improve the soil, but would like to know
the best time to turn them under, in the
green state or after the vines have shed
the leaves? How would you advise treat
ing>a sandy, loamy soil with clay two to
three feet down to bring 1t to a high state
Of futility?
Land was seeded to oats last winter and

Dear Customer:
SHOULD you wish to make a payment
on your notes at this bank before they
become due you can do so and we will
take pleasure in crediting same for you.
While an advance payment will not save
you any interest, 1t will do this: Next
year we will give to those who pay up
promptly and in advance this year the
preference in loaning. This will be worth
something to you. We have saved the
farmers of this country from $4,000 to
$4,000 this year by lending them the
money to make their crops with, thus
saving to themselves time prices on goods,
which you know is quite an item, and now
we ask our friends and customers to ex-
press their appreciation Of this help by
taking up their paper promptly. Feeling
sure of your cooperation and with thanks
for your patronage, we are your friends.

The only topic Of conversation
along the waterfront yesterday was
tho reported loss OF the transport
Sheridan n the japanese coast. with
400 souls on board. Practically all
the shipping men discredit the rumor.
The story was traced 20 Horace
Cook and r 3. Hoyne. who arrived
here on Wednesday night on the Ven
tura They say that the story was
published in the san Francisco Bull
letin and that they heard OF it about
California street in the vicinity OF
the Merchants Exchange. No details
were given other than that the Sher.
ldan had been lost with all hands
aboard one thing however. which
was positively learned yesterday was
that the Sheridan was not bound to
san Francisco. as reported on Thurs
day afternoon but was going exactly
in the opposite direction.
Not Going to Nsgasaki.
The sheridan left San Francisco.
January l. bound for Manila. via
Guam. Her course therefore would
not have been by Nagasah. as the
officers Of the Ventura were credited
with saying
II is hoped that the Fitzpatrick,
which is due here at any time may
bring some later news either con
drming or denying the story.
4 copy OF the regular edition OF
the San Francisco Evening Bulletin
OF January l6 was in possession Of

one line concerning the fate of the
