Nothing was said or done. until the
PETERBOROUGH company began to en-
gage mOtOrmen for the subway system
Then the trouble began. The motor
men insisted, that the company had
made the promise to give it's employees
on the Elevated system the preference.
but had violated that promise The
company denied that such a promise
had been made in reference to filling
positions on the subway system and
refused to listen to the protests of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive engineers.
The employees felt very indignant and
held meeting in which they decided
TO go out in a body, unless the COM
pany should adhere to it's promise.
The trouble has been patched I'D tenn
pOrarily, but it is by no means per-
manently settled and the danger of a
strike is by no means entirely elmn-

The guberna torial problem seems as
far from its solution as it was a
month ago. Nobody seems to worry
particularly over the question who the
democratic candidate will be, but, the
question, whom the republicans will
nominate for the governorship, seems
to trouble the minds of the poll
ticians great deal. Ex-Secretary
Root, who would, undoubtedly be the
strongest candidate, does not want the
nomination and expressed himself on
that point in most unequivocaI terms.

horse" which Governor Odell was sup
posed to have ready. Quite recently,
however, the talk about Roots possible
candidacy has been resumed and it is
not believed impossible, that the ex-
secretary may change his mind, and
accept the nOminatio for the sake of
saving the national ticket. It is gen.
orally believed that the most powerful
pressure is being exerted to induce Mr.
Root to reconsider his determination
not to accept the nomination, even if
the convention should select his
clearly expressed wishes.
The New York end of the strike of
the butchers and other packing house
employees is practically at an end. The
strikers We're ingloriously beaten and
the conditions in the local packing
houses are again nearly normal, with
the difference that the establishments
are no longer unionized. The packers
had but little difficulty in securing all
the men they needed to fill the places
of the strikers and now the latter are
shut out. Naturally, they are very bit
ter and indignant, but that does not
affect the situation in the least The
packers may re-employ some of the
strikers, but only when there are va
cancies and only if the men are good
workmen. The packers will absolutely
decline to deal with the union and will
recognize the men only as individuals.
When the trouble between the men,
bers of the allied building trades and
the builders and contractors broke out
some time ago, it was feared that the
strike or lockout would seriously in

by the tillage the trees grow late in

the orchard may still further be
checked by seeding it down until the
desired condition is attained.
1t is impossible to secure a uniform
degree of maturity and size when all
the apples on tree are picked at one
time, as fruit in different stages of
growth is mixed together on the same
tree. The apples differ in size and
maturity in relation to their position,
the upper outer branches producing
the large. highly cOlored and early
ripening fruit, while the apples on the
side branches and the shaded interior
branches ripen later Greater uni

by proper pruning and by other Gull

Cowpeas.

COWpeass
Alabama needs about a million acres
of cowpeas. In other words at least
three-fourths OF the area in corn in
Alabama should have cowpeas planted
between the rows and every acre OF
oats or wheat. not occupied by some
other late crop. should be planted in
cowpeas.
OF course only a small fraction of
the area alluded to has been or will be
consequence of this shortsighted pol
icy that the average production of cot
ton. corn and indeed of all crops is far
below what it should be. We need
that the acres shall this year be COW
cred with peavines where the large
crops of cotton or corn or oats or
wheat are to grow next year.
Unfortunately the generally dry con-
dition of the soil, the rush of other
work at this time of year. and, above
all else. the scarcity of seed. will Sc
verely limit the area that will be de-
voted TO this crop. This is written
chiefly to urge that efforts be at once
made to obtain seed before the limited
Supply Is exhausted. The Louisiana
planters so much appreciate the ad =
Vantages of growing cowpeas as fer
tlllzer for the neyt crop that their de-
mands for seed has made New Orleans
the' principal market for cowpeas. Sure
- 80 mn ANUS are even more in need
or the nitrogen and the vegetable mat
ter AFFORDED by a crop of cowpeas than
are those low lands in Louisiana that
are used for the growth of sugar cane,
the unpleasant fact that seed for
planting are so scarce this year is an
argument for the more general cultiva-
tion of this valuable plant.
In view of this scarcity one need not
be particular this year what variety
is obtainable. but we should rather he
glad to obtain any variety. One wav
for the country ito overcome the al
most annual scarcity of cowpea seed
is to plant part of the crop in some
good early variety. like New Era Then

Cowpea Time.

Oklahoma Farm journal
It's cowpea time in Oklahoma. III
an issue of the Journal for a year past
has been printed without something
being said about -cowpeas 1t was an
oversight And June is the time to
plant them on a large scale.
Let us repeat directions for plant
ing them. Drill in rows about thirty
inches apart. 1t takes about half
busheI of seed to the acre. They may
be planted on land that has been plan
ted to some other crop and failed or
where wheat has been pastured on and
the land plowed or disked or on wheat
stubble after harvest either after disc
ing or by using lister in the stubble
They may be drilled with corn or cot
ton planter that has the right kind or
plates or with a grain drill by covering
enough of the feed spouts to make the
right distance apart.
When the plants are up a few inches
high. cultivate and when they need it,
cultivate again. Cowpeas will be
ready to pasture within five or six
weeks after planting and they will
help out the grass pastures amazingly.
And II you want to cut them for hay,
do 1t when some of the pods are about
ripe but while the vines are still green.
But be sure to leave some to mature
so that you may gather seed for the
next jears' crop. The cowpea hay will
be relished by every animal on the
farm and cowpea soup isn't bad eat
ing for the family.
DO exactly the same thing as regards
planting soy beans. They should be
grown for the grain which will be OF
great value for the pigs and chickens
next winter. They may be thrashed
with a thrashing mahine or failed out
after Uncle Johns plan II there aren't
very many of them and you want some
physical exercise.
Both OF these crops are needed on
every farm to add to the store of nit
rogen in the soil and to provide a
feed rich in underwriting nutrients

SMALLPOX on the Train.

pox on the Lexington d Eastern
passenger train Monday after
noon and caused a panic among
the passengers.
The unfortunate man was named
Harris his home being in the
mountains. His face was a mass
of sores and attracted so much
attention and caused SO much I'M
easiness among the passengers on
the train that DR.. Centers, who
was on his way to Lexington with
his little son, Daniel, to have his
eye treated consented to exam
Inc the afflicted man. He pro-
nounced it a genuine case of
asmll poX.
Harris was then moved into
the baggage car. A wire was sent
to the health officers of Winches-
ter who met the train and took
charge of him. He claims to be
suffering from poison oak.

But this it has all along refused

Clay City takes the initiation
and builds one bridge at this
place. When this is done the
county will awake to their ne

county bridged with a substan-

opening of the proposed bridge
to justify its construction if for
only half dozen years, but the
proposed steel structure will last
for a century or more, and will
only need one coat of paint a
year to keep it free from rust and
insure its preservation.

That Bridge.

That the city council which
meets next Wednesday night will
pass an ordinance calling for bids
plans and etc for the construc-
tion of an iron bridge across Red
rever at some point entering the
city is an almost certainty. There
has to date, without any special
effort, been a little over 500 90
subscribed for this purpose, pro-
vided the bridge is built at Wal
tersville which seems to be the
most suitable place for same. If
this subscription is raised to 81,
900 90 there will be no doubt but
what the bridge will be built.
The committee appointed to
raise subscriptions for this pur-
pose should get a move on and
increase this subscription to 81,
600 90, at least, by the council
meeting so there will be no de-
lay about the matter, for at this
puncture no time should be lost.
A large portion of this subscrip-
ton will be withdrawn if not act
ed upon soon. BY all means in
the world this opportunity to get
a bridge should not pass. 1t will
be so much harder to revive a
gain.
There is some opposition to the
