Work has been commenced on a
series of improvements at the Insane
hospital which will consume the pres
ent season and part of another before
it is finished. The work includes
changes of great Importance, which
Will lessen the danger from fire, and
also add to the comfort of the patients.
The appropriation for the work is $45
00O, and about a year will be required
to complete the improvements. The
most important undertaking will be
the fire prOofing and renOVating of the
second female wing, which extends east
from the administration building. It's
dimensions are 100 by AZ feet, three
stories iii height The interior will be
torn out and reguilt with fireproof
floors. The adding of modern heating
and ventilating equipment is involved.
A fireproof stairway will be built on
one end, and a bay window on one side
so as to throw more light into the
ward. The patients who are occupying
this wing will be transferred to the
first female wing, the improvements
on which were only recently completed,
having been commenced year ago last
July. The improved wing has been
newly furnished and is in every way
up-to-date, having all the modern re-
quirements, as well as being freproof.
One of the most important additions in
the opinion of Supt. Sanborn is that of
q perfect ventilating system. The pa
TENTS will be kept here until the i'm
provements on the second wing are
completed. This building was erected
in the sos so that it is very much out
Of date. Work on the new hospital
barn is progressing well. Masons are

coming from the quarry near by. 1t is
expected that the barn will be finished,
this season.

cured, and seeds formed early, it was de-
cided to leave them for a seed crop. BY
hand picking the ripest pods a good
quantity of seed was secured, although
the crop as a whole could not be said to
have matured.
The growth Of the cowpea is some
what similar to the soy bean, although
it is a longer vine and is more trailing
by nature. 1t is not likely that it will
succeed as a grain crop in the northern
states, but it promises to be a useful
crop sown in a mixture with corn for en-
silage. Search is being made for varie-
ties that will climb up the corn plants
when they are planted rather thin, in
order that they may be cut with the corr
harvester and run through the silage
cutter at the same time the corn is cut.
tits believed that this will afford a nice
ly balanced ration, and that a better
mixture and more economical growth
can be made than where each crop is
raised separately.
They appear to do well on any land
adapted to corn, and are said to add nj
trogen to the soil in large quantities.
They are especially adapted to bringing
back into fertility land that has been
exhausted by long cropping.-Prof. An
Grew Boss, in Orange Judd Farmer.
