1t will not be at all surprising If the
Indiana democratic leaders, as is ru-
mored, have come to an understanding
with Judge Parker's friends. There
seem to be indications that the rumor
is true, for recently John E. Lamb, in
Washington. gave out a long and Wig
orous interview faverIng the Parker
candidacy. 1t is manifest that Indi-
ana democracy will have none Of Cleve-
land. Where growing numbers of
democrats In other States look on the
former Presidents candidacy as the
wisest thing for the party, Indiana
democracy simply revolts at the sug-
gestion. AS things now are the move
ment to make terms with the Parker
candidacy undoubtedly accords reas-
cnably well with the feeling Of Indi-
ana leaders. 1t may be productive of
nothing. The democratic presiden-
tial situation is chaotic as yet. 1t

COWPEA PLANTS.

are with difficulty made profitable On
such crops as corn and wheat their
profitable use for a leguminous crop,
such as cowpeas Or clover, which are
known to be able to gather large part
of their nitrogen from the air. would
naturally be much more difficult. Acid
phosphate has been found to increase
greatly the yields of both the hay and
the peas, but especially the yield Of peas.
One of the most economical ways In
which to improve poor soil has been
found to be the growing of cowpeas,
fertilized with acid phosphate. A good
plan in the case of wornout soil is to
plant the peas in rows, using acid phOs-
phate at the rate of 800 pounds to the
acre The peas should be cultivated at
least twice. The seed can be picked or
the crop can be pastured off to good
advantage. In order to derive perman-
ent benefit from this method of soil i'm
provement it is not advisable to remove
the crop as hay unless the equivalent in
stable manure be returned to the land.
The pea roots, stubble and fallen leaves
contain only about one-third of the
total plant food gathered by the crop,
and could be expected to give only tenn
porary improvement.-Ten Agri-
cultural Experiment Station Bulletin.

POUL Try YARD NOTES.

1t is not necessary that the poultry
plant to be attractive looking should be
either expensive or elaborate in its
features.
Neatness pays, because neatness in
construction and arrangement means
completeness; and completeness in
equipment always contributes toward
convenience, and hence toward economy
in labor.
Three essentials to success in poultry
keeping: A good location, strong
healthy fowls of an early maturing
variety. interest in the work that will
lead ore to be ever on the alert for help
full knowledge.
A poultry plant, whether large or
sraall, whether consisting Of a single
house, Or of many houses, should be
neat, and both the arrangements of the
houses and the arrangement Of furnish
ings in the houses should be convenient.
Judging the causes of failure by what
we see and know of many failures we
may affirm with positiveness that the
three most common causes of failure in
poultry keeping are: Lack OF expert
ence, lack of capital, lack of business
ability.-Farm Poultry.
