ure last July, which is Il first-class
article and should be read by those

culture:
There ARE many varieties of
COW peas, but the best pea for this
climate is the Whippoorwill. |
find that the cow pea is Il great
renOvator; that there are many
thousands of acres of land that
can be made fertile with the COW
pea. The cow pea for forage is
ahead of clover, and when taken
from the soil leaves it open and
loose and full of hyrdogen. The
COW pea, find, is Il great muscle
making and fat forming plant.
The yield of cowpeas, Of course, is
much better upon rich land than
on poor, but it pays to raise them
on poor land. You can plant the
cow peas broadcast or in drills,
the amount of seed varying from
four quarts to two bushels per
acre, the average being three
pecks. The seed should be COW
cred about two and Il half inches,
and care should be taken to plant
when not too cold, as the plant is
adapted to warm climates. In
planting corn | plant rows north
and south, and when lay corn 10y
plant cowpeas between corn. ]
find that it helps the corn by keep
ing the moisture down, and | get
two crops. The cowpca stands
much dry weather. If you don I
care to cut them turn your pigs III
after getting your corn out Of the
field; your pigs will do well on
the succulent foliage and pods, ,aut
the quality of the meat will he fine
An acre of p as will pasture eight
cen hogs several weeks. aud the
gain in fertility from the drop
pings of the hogs during the tim,
will be wonderful. The prope
way to get good results from tn,
peas is to harvest them and feeC
ont in the stable and return al
the manure to your field. If yor
have never raised cowpeas plant t
few in your garden or field anC
feed them to your milk cows ant

nccton with the series Of articles
which Helen Keller, the wonderful
blind girl, has written for the La
dies Home journal, telling about
her own life from infancy to the
present day. She always has
shrunk from the publicity which
follows successful literary work
and it was with great difficulty
that she was persuaded to take up
the task of preparing her aulobi-
ography. She had, however, set
her heart on owning an island in
Halifax harhor for summer home,
aud in a spirit of fun the editor of
the journal offered to buy it fol
her, or to provide the means to
buy it. When the work of writing
appeared especially irksomc Miss
Keller was reminded of her desire
to become IA land holder, and il
spurred her on. Just before Christ.
mas she completed the first chapter
of her marvellous story; and ol
Christmas morning she rcccivcC
from her publishers a check for
good round sum Her delign
may be imagined, for this was tn,
first money OF any account whlri
she had ever earned. 1T is

Whether she will really carry on

day morning from the clerk OF the

nouncing that the case of j. W.
Dowell, collector Of Audain coun-
ty VS.. J. G. Renshaw had been af-
firmed. }. G.. Renshaw is cap
itaist who spent the greatet part
of 1864 and 1895 in Mexico, Au-
drain county, Mo-, boarding at
the Ringo hotel. At that time j.
A. Harrison was county assessor.
Mr.. Harrison learned that Mr..
Renshaw WAS not paying his taxes
elsewhere and approached him for
his list of personal property IN
July, 1893. ReushHw refused to
give in list of his personal prop
erty for the reason, as stated by
him. that he was resident of Al
bemarle county, Virginia, aud
that personal property was taxable
only at the domcile of the owner.
The assessor, however, made II
list of Rcnshaw s personal proper
ty from the records kept in the
Office of the recorder of deeds. The
records showed that Renshaw had
then loaned in Audrain county
S34 5000. The tax list thus made
by the assessor was returned 10y
him and the tax was extended
against Renshaw, but he refused
to pay the same, and then County
Collector j. w. Dowell brought
suit against him in the Galloway
county circuit court, where Ken
shaw was then stopping. On ;

Jury verdict was rendered II
favor of the county collector anC
against Renshaw for nearly 5000

defense that he was never a resi-
dent of the county of Audraln, bu

Sick Mules.

Following is from the Nandalia

marian Luckie, of Columbia, came
down Saturday to examine some
sick mules for J. w. Llewcllcn.
He found four of the mules to
have chronic glauders and ordered
them killed, which was done by
Deputy Sheriff j Joe Morris Satur-
day night. Several more Of the
mules were held as suspicious
cases and Quarantined in barn
to themselves. Twenty-four of
them are held in other barns IL
waiting developments. There is
little danger of the disease spread
ing, as Mr.. Llewellen is using ev-
cry precaution to prevent if. The
dead animals have all been burned
and his barns all diSinfected. Tn,
loss falls heavily on Mr. Llewclien,
as the animals dead and exposed
are forty-ouc head, and cost hin
over 5000, saying nothing abou
the damage done his business an,
the inconvenience of having hi
