Cow Pea. In the North.

If COW peas are planted this far
north about June l, the early varie-
ties will be right to turn hogs on the
last half of August, and will furnish
the right food at this time to finish
on new corn, and the ground may be
seeded with winter wheat afterward
without any preparation. if disk
drill be used, or rye may be seeded
for green winter cover crop and
turned under for spring crop, espe-
cially potatoes. For beginners I
would advise: Get seed that will ma
ture in your latitude, or farther
north; drill IS pounds per acre in
rows 30 to 36 inches apart, and culti-
vate clean until vines interfere. A
few years trial with COW peas will
suggest many ways to utilize them to
good advantage on every farm.-Cin-
cinnati Commercial Tribune.

Protection AGAINST weeviI..

After cleaning beans and peas
ready for use, take tight box, bar
rel or cask dry and put the peas or
beans into it. Take a small bottle
and put into it two ounces of bisul-
phide of carbon. Put the bottle into
the peas while it is corked up. Press
the seeds about the bottle some so
it will not tip over. Then take out
the cork and cover the receptacle in
which the peas or beans are. This
covering should be so perfect that
the fumes of the gas will not get out.
Do not uncover it for some time, nor
carry lamp or candle near it, as the
gas from it might take fired. C.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. .Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulsionist themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

 New York. Feb 16.-Dr Minot J. Saw age, in the church of the Messiah yes terday, spoke on the race problem which, he said, threatened the future of the republic. Slavery, he said, would have continued to exist ill the north as it did in the south had it been equally profitable here. Dr Savage continued:
 Senator Tillman, whom I heard at a dinner last night, says that if social and political equality are allowed the colored people it means, in his judg- ment, a gradual mixing, mongrelizing and degrading of the entire people.

 Mrs Slevin has been teaching school for the last seven years, and was the only support of her parents, her father being an invalid.

ENCOURAGE COTTON GROWING.
England Alarmed at Her Dependence
 Upon United States.

Upon United States.
 New York, Feb 16.-The Journal of Commerce says to-day that cotton spinners in England seem thoroughly alarmed at their dependence upon the United States for their cotton supply, this alarm being sharply intensified by the present relations between the SUD- ply and demand for raw cotton. The opinion is unanimous that the culture of cotton should be encouraged in the British colonies and possessions. At an influential meeting at Manchester, arranged by the British Cotton Grow ing gsassociation, the lord mayor said it was of supreme importance that every possible effort should be put forth, not alone by this association but also the government with a view to the growing of cotton in Africa, and if possible ill the dependencies. The almost unlimit- ed capacity for the production of every commodity in the states on gigantic scale was shown nowhere more forcibly than in the growth of cotton, said the lord mayor. One state alone, that of Texas, had an area more than double the area of Great Britain. The states were the most powerful competitors, and the states were likely to be more powerful in the future. The fixed aim of those engaged in the cotton indus try was ultimately to consume on the spot all the cotton grown on the plan tations
 Sir Alfred Jones said he could not share in the alarm which existed in some quarters. It was merely mat ter of wisdom to look out for the ex- pansion of cotton growing districts, particularly ill English colonies. No one could object to the Americans keeping their cotton in their own country, but 1t was a great object to secure that there should be constant supply for Great Britain.
 The following resolution proposed by Alfred Emmett, M. F., was adopted:
 f9That, in view of the frequent dis organization and consequent loss to the cotton trade of the United Kingdom owing to the uncertain supply of the raw material, it is incumbent on all those interested in the prosperity of the industries of this country to use every effort to increase the growth of cotton.''
