INTERESTING FACTS.
The Variety and Quantity of
Peas That Give Largest
Yield.
Southern Agricultural, June.

Southern Agricultural, June.
In writing this article, we aim
to give the farmers many useful
facts about the cowpea-vigna
csJang-which are not generally
known, and to make it so in
Structive that it may be taken
as q guide in its culture. The
seed Ot the cowpea were orlgi-
nally brought from China or
India, and first cultivated in
South Carolina, The people were
slow to recognize its value as a
feed and az an enricher of the
land but today it is spreading
all oyer the Middle States.
The first thing ia in selecting
the most prolific variety. There
are constantly occurring new
sports, some short stock, others
with vines trailing, pods varying
from four TO twelve inches in
length, and the peas are Of every
imaginable shade Of white, vel
low, pink, gray, brown, red, black,
mottled and speckled. Some
ripen in sixty days, others IN a
hundred and twenty dave. Ex-
perlments are developing new
varieties that appear to be an
Improvement ever the older
kinds. Among the latest and
most profitable kind should be
classed the New Era, the Won
derfuI, the Black, the Red Rip.
per, the Whlppoorwill, the Clay,

The editor of the Southern Agri-
culturi8t regards the White
Crowder as the beat table pea
among all of the varieties. There
is one kind Of the Crowder that
is called the Yellow Sugar
Orowder, which should bo gro Rn
on every Southern farm for table
nse. Three or four more new
kind are now being cultivated
IN the South, among which is the
Taylor, which are very choice
peas.
Now, we have in the above

IOWA LAND VALUES.
IDysart Reporter


The Herald (Clinton) does not give
it's reasons for believing that, land is on
the decline. Whatever they are they
must be local to Clinton, for over the
state generally no breek in the price
has been noted, and with the opening
of spring, the tendency has been the
other way. Good farms will sell for
more in Iowa during the coming sea-
son than they have ever before.
The Reporter does not agree with
any of the Herald's conclusions. II
believes that the next wave of mi
grafton that sweeps over the country
will bring every acre of desirable land
in Iowa to The 500 mark, and much
of it to s125. Iowa is the garden spot
of the world, and no other country or
state on the face of the earth of equal
size compares with 1t for productive
ness. The great monopoly of the fu-
ture will be the ownership of the food
producing valleys of the world. Land
values in Iowa will not decrease and
the man who owns farm here has q
nice fortune which cannot burn up or
blow away. We would say to him to
get more Of this soil. and if the price is
too high for his pocketbook. go to the
Dakotas where good farms are yet to
be had at $25 per acre. Population is
increasing, but fertile land is decreas-
ing. Hence prices will yet go much
higher.

WESTERN MANUFACTURERS,

Few people think of tie west in con
nection with manufacturing interests
Ii is the general impression that the
western Mississippi valley, while pro-
ducing the flesh foods ana cereals with
which to feed the factory operatives of
the east does little manufacturing on
its own account. That this impression
is erroneous is made clear by statiS-
Chicago financial paper. The aggregate
of the western factories is given as
more than 225,000, with an aggregate
capital of over three billions and an
annual product of over five billions.
The increase of manufacturing shown
in the various states within the limits
referred to has within the last, ten years
been from so to 200 per cent. Meat
packing houses are responsible for
much of the showing in investment and
increase, Missouri being first with
s25e,O00,0o0 capital.
This showing is encouraging as re-
CARDS western manufacturing possibili-
ties. Aside from the packing and mill
ing industries, which Ore western by
natural right, there are thousands of
small factories in western cities doing
an excellent business and making :,
gratifying growth. More factories ar
coming west, following the shifting CEN
ter of population. and the west is grow
ing to depend more largely upon its
own manufacture. Eastern factories
show larger percentage of gain than
those in the west, but this may be at
tributed to better organization ana
larger plants operated at lower cost
thdu the availability of cheaper labor
than the west affords. However, under
the marvellous showing of the past ten
years the west bids fair to develop
growth of the manufacturing industries
which will in time embarrass the east
by its competition.

AN EXCELLENT EXECUTIVE.
INinton Eagle

We notice some of the outside cor
respondents in sending kilograms to
capital newspapers regarding the sue
cess or failure of some legislative cam
didate says .'he favors the present
state administration. or, "he is OPP
posed to the present state administra-
iron" 1t is a fiction of the cores
pondent. We do not believe that there
is a republican in the state that OPP
noses the present state administration.
The head thereof Is making very ac-
ceptable governor and he gives state
affairs his best ability, which is OF no
mean order and his closest attention.
The same may be said of his associates
in the state administration. In one par
ticular only does the political adher-
ents of the governor differ with him
and that is on his expressed views as
to tariff legislation. In this respect
he admits the propriety thereof and
SO stated in his speech before the Polk
county convention. The governor very
generously and very properly accords
to his political associates the same
rights and privileges he arrogates to
himself. 1t is not to be disputed but
the governors attitude on this polltlcal
MISUNDERSTANDING caused some new
allignments and it is common to use
the expression, pro" Cummins or
anti" Cummins but it is only in this
particular sense. AS governor he I'M
doubtedly has the united support OF
the party in the state.

How the Men Set About to Lower the
Fragments of Marble.
AS soon as great fragment of mar
BILE detached by the blast has stopped
rolling it is more or less roughly squar-
ed into block weighing, say, forty
tons.
Then the men set about getting it
down. Along certain lines of descent
offering the least resistance to body
descending by force Of gravitation q
succession of stout posts has been
firmly driven into the loose stones and
marble waste. The men by means Of
crowbars and screw jacks raise the
block on to soaped skid of hard
beech wood, of which they have several
at hand Before doing this they Sc
cure the block by means Of three long
three to five inch hempen cables. with
which they take turns around the posts
and pay out sufficient rope only to al
low of the ponderous mass sliding over
the soaped skids by its own weight
and the angle of the incline, but not to
allow Of its gaining too much momen-
tum.
During this descent, besides the men
failing on to the ropes, two or more
men are seated on the block. A man
following closely In its wake hands
them up the skid iust passed over,
which they resoap and hand down to a
man. who keeps just in front of the
moving mass, to put down in its path
and so provide continuous slipway.
This last mentioned worker has the
most perilous task. If one of the cables
part at a critical moment or if mis-
take be made in paying out or slack
ening them, he must inevitably be
crushed.
1t is fine sight to see the men at
the last pinch, near the railhead, hand
lowering the marble over rollers on to
the truck. At this stage all hands are
yelling like demons at their work. but
the moment their burden is safely en-
trained every man filings down his tool,
and all bolt for the osteria, or wine

RATIFICATION BY THE cuBAAs.

When Cuba promptly accepted and
Satified the reciprocity treaty she acted
wisely and placed the responsibility for
bhe treaty where it belongs, on the
American congress. No lamentations or
changes are attached by the Cuban SEN
lte. In lieu of the assistance promised
and which they had a perfect right to
expect they have accepted the emascu-
lated treaty without debate and with
out conditions. In doing so the Cuban
senate loses nothing in comparison with
that of the United States. Now the
areaty is face to face with our house of
representatives for approval.
1t is likely that the house will act
with respectable pror,ptitude when
called together in the extra session
President Roosevelt has promised. but
delay is to be expected in the senate il
the last sessions filibustering is to be
taken as an indication of what may
be expected next term. There seems
to be no reasonable hope for the policy
Of reciprocity to succeed with the pres
mt senate The Cuba treaty as passed
by that body after a session of wrang-
ling and postponements practically null
Nfied the proposals and policy of Nc
kinley. Other proposed reciprocity
treaties have Jared still worse. II would
excite no surprise If the Cuban treaty
Remained ineffective another year for
1ack of action by the senate.
The leaders of the senate opposition
10 reciprocity treaties have the power
10 accelerate or delay the complete rat
lfication of the Cuban treaty. Mutilated
and shorn of it's intent as 1t is, 1t repre-
sents the policy of reciprocity and the
integrity of the United States. Our
promise of reciprocal relations to Cuba
must be kept. Further delay will be
likely to increase the resentment of the
people toward that branch Of the legis-
aature where delay and filibustering
must obtain. The question whether in
aividual schedules are inviolate and
unalterable as the foundation of the
protective tariff system accepted by
the people Of the United States is likely
10 be settled by succeeding congress.
The Cuban treaty, for the honor of this
country If for no other reason. should
be made effective as quickly as possible.
