Experience with Cow Peas.

Correspondence Country Gentleman.
I have been growing cow peas more or
less for a number of years. usually as a
catch CROP and have always found them
very satisfactory both as a feed for ami
mails and soil improver. In fact, in
the latter capacity do not think l have
ever had as good results with any other
single crop and at a single growth as l
have from cow peas. Even where the tops
are removed from the land the lands i'm
provement from the roots and stubble is
quite marked.
Last year, after moving ten acres of Glow
er and timothy, plowed the field and sowed
half with cow peas and half with Hungar-
ian grass. The peas were cut and mixed
with corn in the silo, and the Hungarian
made into hay. The ground was prepared
for wheat by use of the disk harrow. Con-
ditions of culture and fertilizing were the
same for both the catch crops, and the fer
tilizing of wheat the same on the whole
field. The wheat following the peas was
considerably better than on the Hungarian
land. while the new seeding of clover and
timothy in the stubble show to the decided
advantage of the pea ground.
OF course much better results can be had
III prOuuctlOu IL enough OF a season can De
given them to make full grown crop be-
fore frost, but their value on land that
would otherwise be unoccupied during the
heat OF late summer and fall is ineStimable.
/ have now growing fine sowing that was
made after oats were cut for hay. The
peas were showing green over the field five
days after sowing This particular lot of
peas to be used for a late hog pasture, and
as an experiment l sowed rape with the
peas. The fate of the rape is I'm the future.
My rule is to harvest all catch crops either
for soiling, for the silo, for hay, as
much more can be realized from them thus
than by pasturiug them; but my lot re-
ferred to above as for hog pasture is an
exception to my rule, as l need the field
as exercise ground for special lot of hogs.
1 am not an advocate of the expensive
method of enriching ones land by blowing
down valuable crops that can be harvested
and fed to profitable animals. When the
manure is carefully saved and applied to
living crops as soon as possible, a green
crop covering the land in the winter and
supplemented and made more valuable by
added commercial manure, soil productivity
can be more rapidly and at the same time
profitably increased than by expanding
labor, time and money growing crops to
pillow under.
There are exceptions, however. The field
in which 1 will plant my potatoes next
spring is now in corn for curing, and has
fine stand OF crimson clover growing in
it. The mission of this clover is to take
good place to receive the manure for the
potatoes. This will be applied with
spreader on frozen ground during winter.
To wait on this clover till il Is large enough
for cutting would make late potato plant
ing. Therefore it will be pIoyed under.
Other fields of crimson clover will be used
for soiling and for hay, and the ground
plowed for corn for the Silo.

An English Woman's Farm.

Boston Transcript
The Springfield Republican, which two
or three years ago thought the story of
the Paxton mans achievement with an
eighty-acre truck farm too marvellous for
credibility, has a very pleasant one of its
own to tell. the truth of which we do not
question in the slightest 1t is about an
energetic Englishwoman who came TO this
country with her family about nine years
ago. After living in New York for five
years she decided that her children would
be benefited by country life. and bought
for SIS 500 a 2OO-acre farm in the
town Greenwich, Hampshire county.
Massachusetts. Shortly after moving
in, her husband died, and she has
managed her purchase unaided. Last
year she planted five and quarter acres
to patotoes. which yielded 1'osS bushels
bushel. Most of her tillable land is devoted
to hay, which she fertilizes with nitrate or
soda and secures large crops. Speciai care
each year makes her $50 Baldwin apple
trees great bearers. Her twelve cows are
kept in the cleanest of quarters and even
the pigs are so well looked after as TO
minimize the reproach that usually at
taches to their class. She is making money
and enjoying life. and the Republican
abundant proof that farming in New Eng
land can be made profitable, despite what
has been said to the contrary. 1t must
be rather humiliating to those still employ
ing hereditary methods of agriculture with
Indifferent if not even disastrous results, to
be thus shamed by woman, and an Eng
lishwoman at that But perhaps our agri-
cultural salvation is to be brought about
by the women. They are taking a greater
interest in the industry, and have the ad-
vantage of the men in that they haven't
SO much to unlearn.

THE SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM.

What school of Journalism could equal
the instruction which Horace Greeley gave
Henry ]. Raymond. caught fresh from col
lege? Yet II the future editor of the Times
had simply "drifted" into Journalism after
the happy-go-lucky method of too many
nowadays, he would never have endured the
iron discipline he underwent at Greeley's
hands. and would have drifted out again.
Tenacity of purpose and strength of char
acter are, as Mr.. Schurz remarks with
great authority, the crying needs of Amer
lean Journalism. But here again we are
driven to ask, can a school of Journalism
supply them? We fear not, any more than
Mr.. Andrew d. Whites school of states
manship could furnish public men who
would, simply because they were specially
trained, spurn the wrong and expose the
corrupter. The sources of character lie
deeper than schools" and the men who are
to lift up journalism must first have the
native stuff. A school of Journalism may
turn out men who will only look out upon
every event in life with the cynical remark
of Freytag's editor-"material for one more
article'-or who. when tested, may but give
fresh point to Cobbett's bitter saying:
How can you have q free press under
government which has forty millions a year
claim and dignity American journalism
and save 1t from the noisy and ignorant
and immoral methods which make the
newspaper too often thing of terror, WILL
we fear, have to find the hiding of their
power in some other scene than a school
of Journalism. And We are bound to add
that no great moral uplift can derive from
a source which has done so much. In the
journalism-even if the gift be now made
by way of expiation.

Agricultural conjectures
And TO bark to PROFESSIONAL dispute.
On the platform sit the experts, wise. sedate,
Each with boards OF useful knowledge meath
his pate,
And they tell the farmer how
He should milk the speckled cow
In the fashion most approved and up to date
There are papers on Rotation Of the Crops

And at shutdown. having spent a pleasant day,
Homeward hastens TO his toll
And proceeds to till the soil

Beyond the foundation journalistic train
ing must be along practical lines. The re-
quirements OF the business are constantly
shifting. Journalism must adapt itself to
times, places and conditions. The deciding
factors of success cannot be taught in any
school because they cannot even be
foreshadowed. The best that school of
Journalism could do would be to conduct
an actual newspaper the best approved
lines; but 10 do that on sufficiently
broad plan il a very expensive operation
that would absorb more than the income
from even a s., COCO endowment And even
then what would have been gained, for
there are scores, perhaps hundreds. of bet
ter newspapers in the country than il would
be possible for a university TO issue. Per-
haps ii may be argued that the profession
would be elevated; but in the end Journal
ism can never rise higher than the levels
established for IL by the newspapers them
selves.

many persons in starting an orchard are in

come into immediate bearing, and so go TO

overlooking the fact that the larger and

Years ago / set a large orchard from nur-
sery rows two, three and four years old,
and in five years the two-year-olds were the
largest thriftiest and best every way.

trees hardly stopped growing. while the

The tentative curriculum for the new
school, as laid down by President Eliot. of
Harvard, will meet with general praise:
but every subject mentioned by him, COW
ering the theoretical side, is now taught in
Harvard and in all the leading universities,
while the technical details relating to the
preparation of copy for the press, typog-
raphy, the organization Of local and other
news service, circulation and advertising
and the multifarious technical detail of
modern newspaper are best taught In a
newspaper office.
If the school is to give practical instruc-
ton on these subjects II must conduct In
reality a newspaper, otherwise the instruc-
ton will be as lame and impotent, we fear

Most farmers are familiar with the horse
that puffs and wheezes at his work. The
disease is technically known as roaring,
and is said to be similar to asthma in hui
mans. There is really no cure for it. but
trouble may be greatly alleviated by treat
ment and especially by proper feeding. If
the, disease is not so seated that the animal
cannot do farm work, then that given It
should be light and the feed should consist
of little hay and this wet each time; feed
mainly on grains. Take one drachm iodide
of potassium and mix with one-half drachm
nux vomica. Give this dose twice day for
two or three weeks during each bad attack
and during the period let the work of the
horse be that which does not require much
speed The care and treatment indicated
will relieve the animal greatly, although IL
is doubtful IL it will ever amount TO much
for steady work.

AS CARDINAL PROTECTOR.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Aug. 23.-The Sisters Of
Providence at st. Mary's-of-the-woods have
received the official announcement from the
Vatican that Cardinal Martinelli has been
appointed cardinal protector Of the order
in the United States. When the superior
general. Mother Cleophas. was in Rome,
some months ago, the privilege was given
to her to name cardinal protector, but she
waited until her return to this country to
consult with Bishop Chatard. His choice
was Cardinal Martinelli.
The sisters also received a letter from
Cardinal Martinelli, in which he expresses
his esteem for the order. The appointment
of cardinal as special protector is signal
recognition of the order by the church, and
will do much to enlarge the usefulness of
the sisters in their work as educators in the
parOchial schools of the country.
