Cow Peas for the Orchard.

While the usual plan of intelligent or,
chardists is the best under normal con.
ditions-that of the shallow cultivation
between the trees during the summer
there are times and certain conditions
where The cowpeas would be Of the
greatest value Take, for example, soil
badly run down; here cowpeas, sown
late IN May or early in June, would be
more valuable to the soil than summer
cultivation, for they would add much
needed nitrogen to it and conserve the
moisture in the soil quite as well as the
summer cultivation. Then. if the tops
were cut in the fall, early, the stubble
and roots turned under and the ground
SOwn to cover CROP the result would
be seen the following season. 1t is true
that 1t might he necessary to cut the
cowpcas green, in order to get In tho
cover crop early enough, hut even then
the growth during the hot weather Will
have done the soil an Immense amount
OF good.

Old Joe, the Night Waterman.

From the pall Mall Gazette, London.)
How often on returning home late on
a dreary winters night has our sympathy
gone out to the poor old night Waterman
AS he snt huddled up over his cage fire,
overlooking the excavations which our
City Council in their wisdom, or other
wise, allow the different water companies
to make so frequently in our congested
streets. In all weathers, and under all
climatic conditions, the poor old night
Waterman is obliged to keep watch over
the companies property, and to see that
the red lights are kept burning. What a
life, to be sure; what privations and hard
ships; no wonder they have aches and
pains. which nothing but ST. Jacobs Oil
can alleviate.
"Old Joe" is in the employ of the Lam
beth Water Works. He has been night
Waterman for many years, i'll the course
of which he has undergone many expert
ences. What with wet and cold. he CON
tracted rheumatism and Sciatica, which
fairly doubled him up, and it began to
look a serious matter for old Joe; it look
ed extremely doubtful if he would much
longer be able to perform his duties, on
which his good wife and himself depend
ed for a livelihood; but as it happened a
passer-by, who had for some nights no
ticed Old Joe's painful condition, present
ed him with a bottle of st. jacobs Oil,
ana told him to use II. Old Joe followed
the advice given; he crawled home the
next morning and bade his wife rub HIS
aching back with the st. Jacobs Oil IA
gentleman gave him." and undoubtedly
his Wife did rub, Tor when Old Joe went
On duty at night he met his friend and
5enefactor, to whom he remarked:
''' ON Oils you gave me, Guv'nor did
give me II doing, they was like pins AMI
needles for time, but look at me now
and Old Joe began to run and Jump like
4 young colt. All pain, stiffness aud
soreness had gone, he had been telling
everybody he met what st. Jacobs Oil
had done for him. Old Joe says now he
mas but one ambition in life, and that Is
10 always to be able to keep bottle OF
st. Jacobs OH by him, for he says there
is nothing like it in the world.
st. Jacobs Oil serves the rich and The
Door, high and low, the same way. II

Winter Butter Making.

one TO follow. Have few extra pans
and in each put half pint of boiling
water; then strain the milk into this

These pans Of milk should have the
cream removed In ten or twelve hours

stir it occasionally. Keep 1t over the

troubles in winter butter making comes
from trying to churn the product of
cows that are near calving. and this Is
particularly hard to overcome, indeed,
unless a decided change can be made
In the feed given the animal 1t will be
useless to expect anything but trouble
in churning. An increase In the bran

of some green food will likely improve
the consistency of the milk.

Dehorninx Cows and Calves.


There has always been more or less
argument over the question of dehorn-
ing. and while 1t may be admitted that
khe process is painful, and, in the case
Of an adult animal, causes shock to
Che nervous system, it is not at all like
g that the young calf suffers more
Khan momentary pain, and the process
certainly does not injure the animal in
any way. The process of preventing
the growth Of the horns on the young
calf Is to take the animal when it is
three or four weeks old, and after To-
eating the embryo horn with the finger.
rub the spot for a minute or two or
until it gets quite red, with a stick OF
caustic potash, which may be bought
at any drug store. The potash should
be moistened slightly, but not enough
so that 1t will run, for it will take off
Ahe hair wherever It touches 1t. Wrap
the end held in the hand with cloth,
to prevent burning the hand. The
work Is quickly done, and If thoroughly
done, the horns will not grow. 1t is
generally considered that the age
named-about a months nearer the
right time than earlier, and the work
should never be attempted with potash
after the calf is six or eight weeks old
or after the button has assumed much
prominence.

A number of agricultural colleges re-

the short winter course are men who
are operating farms. many of them

sum for his work during the last dozen
years, Is taking the short course at
Cornell College. He agreed that he
knew considerable about fruit growing,
but said that he was not so strong on
agricultural chemistry as he should be
and wanted more knowledge in this d.
rection that he might know better now
to use commercial fertilizers. He fig
ured that he would be reimbursed for
his expense in single purchase of fer

enable him to buy more intelllgently.

letting it lie two months during the

saver Of plant food. We never doubted
