Cow Peas Superior to CIoysr

Professor a. T.. Granthsu, Of
the Missouri experiment station,
writes as follows in the Sedslia
RurallSt,
Chemical analyses show that
the COW pea Is superior to clover
IN feeding value, and it is nearly
the equal of alfalfa When it is
remembered that alfalfa is worth
nearly aS much aS wheat bran for
feeding, the value Of rowpea hay
as Il nltrOgenous ration is being
appreciated. AT the New Jersey
experiment station it WAS found
that one acre of COW peas produced
an amount of protein equivalent tu
to ), go pounds of wheat bran,
which at present prices would cost
from $50 to So. Even where
clover can he grown every year snc-
cesSfnIly, cow peas may he used to
great advantage, not only IN feed
ing, but also in building mp the
soil, Their short period of growth
does not interfere with the regulsr
rotation of crops. The farmer
who is seeking to build up his soil
10y an inexpensive and rapid method
cannot do better than grow COW
peas every year. The fact that al
acre of COW peas will add two third.
rs much fertility to the soil in
ninety days MS does an acre OF clov.
er III eighteen months, and the cow
peas will produce more hay OF
greater feeding value in three
months than the acre of clover will
produce III Il year aud II half, Sug-
gestS some interesting and prOfita.
BILE possibilities in the matter Of
general farm management.

Lewis Weller was quite severely in
iured last week at the factory, by n
board falling and striking him on the
head. 1t was feared at the tune
that his injuries were very serious,
but fortunately it proved to be more of
shock than any permanent injury,
and he is around on the streets appar-
emily as we'll as ever.
John Foster, the young man who
has been night operator at the depot for
several weeks, was arrested last Satur-
day charged with embezzling money
from the office. The young man plead
guilty at the preliminary examination
and was bound over to appear Mt the
next term of the district court, He said
he commenced his peculations from the
very first.
About 165 of our people took advant-
age of the cheap excursion rates and
went to Denver last Saturday night.
When the excursion train reached here
it was nearly filed, and when the La
mar contingent got aboard, many of
them had to stand up in the isles and in
the vestibules. And instead of getting
to Denver at 10 o'clock in the morning,
the excursionists did not reach there
until o'clock in the evening. We pre-
sumo they got the worth of their money
but it must have been hard trip.

Plant Druos the Fish.

A writer in the National Geosraph-
icaI Magazine tells of tree growing
in the Malay archipelago, the Anda-
man islands and Ceylon, which pro-
duces a fruit used in fishing, with re-
suits of a remarkable character. The
fruit is pounded up into paste and leIe
in bags over night. after which it is
sunk at low tide in deep holes along
the reefs. The fish soon begin to ap-
pear at the surface; some of them life
less. others attempting to swim OF
family struggling, with their ventra.
side uppermost. In this condition, the
natives have no difficulty in picking
them out of the water with their
hands.

Tale OF kanaka Brutality.

This tale comes from New Gale
donia. where ship was loading up
with natives to work in Australia:
"There was a man and girl-a young
couple. they seemed. She had
youngster, who began yelling at sight
of the boat Can't take that young
ster!' the boss shouted. The woman
said she wanted to come. too. No.
we can't ship that squalling little
beast. Leave him with his auntie.'
There was no auntie in sight. So the
Kanaka man. after taking a look
around. caught the kiddy by the heels,
swung her around like rabbit and
dashed her head against tree. She
was only a girl anyway he said, and
slung her body into the scrub Then
they both hoped into the boat and
were shipped aboard.

"pieu and "Pjca,"

go back to the original one, the mag
pie-in Latin, pica'-from whose
black-and-white aspect come pied

service book was called plea or pie
because of the appearance of the

walked upon the waves of Galilee. But
the parrots is less simple case. In

Why He Wept

During the funeral OF one OF the
Rothschild family in Paris a beggar
was noticed standing among the on
lockers sobbing bitterly. A bystander
touched by the mans grief, endeavor-
ed to comfort him. "Do not weep SO
bitterly my poor friend" he said.
"see, even his relatives are able to
restrain their grief more than you
are doing" Then. as new idea
struck him: Surely. you are no re-
lation of NJ. de Rothschild?' "N-no,
