The Cost Of 10 saloons.

On the first Of the present
month 40 dramshop licenses were
issued in this county, 3s in Hanni-
bal aud 2 in Palmyra. This I'M
usual number (usual in Marion) is
creating some comment among our
exchanges. We have figured the
drink bill Of Marion on several oc-
casions, but it will do no harm to
figure it again. These 40 saloons
will pay the county 100000; the
State 81 900 and the cities of Han
nibal and-Palmyra $4,000, and to
Uncle Sam 81, 900 for license ito do
business, a total of $4,000 for
the mere privilege of doing BUSH
ness. At least two men to each
saleon,- a very low estimate, will
make q living out of the business.
Figure these 80 livings at 81, 900
apiece, another very low estimate,
and you will have $4,000 to add
to the total. In addition to all
this the patrons of these saloons
must pay the first cost of the Ii
quor they consume, on top of this
they must pay the rent of the
buildings occupied by the saloons.
1t will then be seen that $3.50, 900
year is low estimate to place on
the money in saloons. And then
figure that the drug stores sell
fully as much whiskey as the 40
saloons and you will begin to
have an idea of our -adrink bill.
With u population of 10000 Mar
ion spends for liquor So for every
man woman and child within her
borders. 1t is estimated that 20
odd dollars to each inhabitant will
cover all the money in the United
States. Marion spends one-tllird
of her share for liquor. Palmyra

also gathers fertility from the air
like ali Of the clover family Of
plants to which it belongs, depos-
ting this fertility in the soil for
further use for other crops to fol-
low. Sorghum does not do this
to any great extent, but rather
draws on the soil for its sustenanee
and our opinion is if raised on tn e
same ground for a long time,
would not produce good crops.
With experiments made at our
experiment station at Columbia
stock pea hay was Of greater food
value than any other forage plant,
and all kinds of stock preferred it
to any other kind of forage.
AS to varieties of stock peas the
Clay seems to be the best for hay,
but also should be planted sooner
than some other varieties, as it
natures. The Whip-poor-will
makes a fine quality of hay. Then
there is the White Black Eye,
White Canada Field and many
other kinds, but we think the
above mentioned are the leading
varieties.
The stock pea should be planted
from about the LIST of June up to
perhaps the Goth of June. Some
advise planting from ~ bushels
to 2 bushels to the acre, but we
think it unnecessary to put so
much seed to the acre; if sown
broadcast we should think l bush
ell sufficient, and if drilled in, and
we like this way best, from 2 to 3
pecks of seed to the acre is sufi-
cient, as it will spread and cover
the ground anyway.
1t should have clean land to
grow on, and the land put in good
shape and the seed put in in drills
after freshly prepared land. The
seed will terminate and grow
and it might then be cultivated
once or twice to kill the weeds.
Several have already written me
in regard to seed. We have none
for sale, but they may be obtained
we presume, from any wholesale
dealers in seeds in any of the
large cities.

Stock Peas VS.. Sorghum,

We saw an article from farmer
some time since on the above sub
ject, and he seemed to think that
sorghum was away ahead of stock
peas for feed, as he stated that he
had tried both, that was during
the season of 1901, and he stated
that he had had better success
with sorghum alt no he admitted
that he had planted the stock pea
rather late.
Now according to our observa-
ton and experience, stock peas
can certainly stand as much
drouth as can sorghum, both need
ing moisture to get them started
to growing, and both doing better
if they can have at least some rain
during growth. Stock peas will
terminate and come up in as
short a time us any seed that we
know of, much sooner than will sOr-
ghum seed, and as to standing dry
weather, neither will succeed very
well if too dry, especially in getting
start to grow, but either of them
is able to stand more dry weather
than are many other crops raised
on the farm.
AS to the feed value, if one will
try his stock on both fed at the
same time he will very soon dis
cover that all kinds of stock are
partial towards stock peas, altho
sorghum is a good feed also more
kinds of stock can and will eat
more on stock pea than sorghum.
Sorghum is very laborious to
harvest and handle. In our Opin-
ion much of the sorghum raised is
too coarse, that is, it was moi
planted thick enough, so it grew
too tall and not enough like hay
Whereit is so coarse, stock viii
not eat it so readily, as it is more
difficult to masticate We have
also seen where it grew too coarse
seen where it was cut from IL t.
is inches from the ground, no
saving as near all Of it as possible
The COW pea is not SO laborioui
to handle, being more like ha!
and not so heavy. and can also b,
placed in the barn more easily
Then again the stock pea viii
enrich the land it is grown on
even if it is cut down to Thu
ground, as the roots strike dow
deep, bringing up fertility in tia
soil, depositing this fertility whert
other crops can make use Of it. /
