War Bellies Not Highly Regarded.

A Washington veteran, who recently
visited historic South Mountain, in
Washington County, Maryland. found
that there are many sim relics OF the
sangulnary battle Of Antietam, and the
fight on South Mountain, in possession
of the farmers in that vicinity.
The suangest part of IT," said the
Washington man. lis that these relics
are regarded by the natives as Of little
value. In one place. not far from
Eakle's Mil, farmer has beautifully
engraved Masonic sword which has
been used as a plaything by the chill
dren Of the neighborhood. The handle
Of the sword is Of ivory, carved with
Masonic emhlcms.
The farmer who owns this rare relic
stated that his father detached it from
the body OF a dead Confederate officer,
who after being shot at the Battle Of
South Mountain, crawled into a thicket

several days after the fight, when the

The Dominion Government is about
TO enter upon the construction of gi-
gantic military works in the city and
district of Quebec. which will involve
a very large expenditure in money,
and at the same time add materially
TO the military strength of the country.
The Government besides making oS-
tensive repairs TO the citadel and eX-
isting fortifcations, will overhaul the
three forts Of Point Lewis, which are
to be armed with long range guns.
The most important work, however,
undertaken by the Dominion Govern
mcnt IS the construction Of two forts
at Beaumont, nine miles from Quebec,
on the south shore
These forts will be located at a
point which will command a full view
Of both the north and south channels
Of the river, and when completed will
have cost, it is said, about $3,O00,-
600.
Work on these forts will be com.
menced in the course Of the next
month, when the ground will be bro
ken, on being completed these forts
will be armed with long range guns
of the most modern pattern, which
will sweep the st. Lawrence for many
niles.-LondCn Mail.

It is a good plan to burn the ground
a few days before sowing, the same as
for a tobacco bed. When the young

the young plants growing until time to

select a piece of low, moist land,
plow well and deep, about six to nine
inches, and thoroughly work it over
six to twelve times, and then open my
rows from four to six feet apart, very
shallow. and set the plants from eight
to sixteen inches in the row,

Let farmers who have set aside
twelve TO fifteen acres to the horse for
cotton, just figure little. In this sec
tion 1t will cost five cents pound TO
make the cotton. Let these cotton
men take about four or FIVE acres Of
their cotton land, although prepared
and ready to plant, and SOW a bushel
Of clay or Unknown peas TO the acre.
If the land would make 700 pounds Of
seed cotton to the acre, it would make
ton and half of pea vinehay. Ateight
centsa pound the cotton and seed would
bring S2090. Pea vine hay sells from
the wagon at ninetS cents a hundred.
The ton and half of hay would bring
S27 and the cost would not be half as
much as making the cotton crop. The
land would be ready for early seeding
TO wheat or oats. That is the only
way to reduce the cotton acreage, so as
to make a more profitable crop and inn
prove the land at the same time.
Then when forage, corn, wheat and
oats were abundant the fowls, hogs
and cattle would soon be added and
farmers would be able "to live at
home and board at the same place.

As the time for sweet potatoes is at

our section.
With ground fat, broke and made
fine, run rows three feet apart, put
ting n fertilizer Of three per cent. am
monia, six or seven per cent. potash
and eight per cent. phosphoric acid. l
then throw two furrows with turn
plow, making a fiat list; drag or level
off top Of this list and we are ready
for setting.
If the weather is dry, make a rich
mud paste and put roots of potato
plants in it for a short time; then
stick them out with a thin stick that
leaves a very small hole. Press the
foot firmly on one side of the sprout
on top Of the ridge, and with the stick
knock the dirt solid against the sprout.

Cowpeas and Corn For sIIIsEe.

Covpeas and Corn For sIlIsEe.
LIE. Berwyn. writes: have been
reading a bulletin on the use OF cow
meas with corn and sorghum Tor Stage
nprposes but do not find any state
ment as to whether or not the yleld is
increased by growing the peas with
the other crops. would Ike some
information along this line.
Answer After several attempts 10
grow cowpeas with corn and sorghum
for silage purposes, IL is my OPINION
that the practice is not likely TO prove
very satisfactory. Corn or sorghum
must be planted in rows about four
feet apart with the stalks about eight
cen inches in the drill row TO insure
very large growth Of peas. In
favorable season n large growth OF
cowpeas may be obtained, but as
rule this will not be the case. Thus,
the greater distance apart of planting
necessitated to insure a good growth
Of peas cuts down the yield Of corn or
sorghum. which for silage purposes
should be planted in rows three 10
three and a half feet apart in the
drill row. Then. the cowpeas do not
often climb on the stalks rs well as is
desirable. We have tried a good many
varieties. and Of all of them the Whip
porwlll and Lady were the best, but
unless the plants get started properly.
many Of them spread over the ground
and can be gathered by the corn har-
vester. OF course. hogs could be
turned on the field so they would not
be lost.
We have tried sowing the peas with
the corn and sorghum after the crop
had made considerable growth. 1t is
much better to seed the meas and corn
or sorghum together than TO attempt
to plant later. The work can thus be
done at one operation and saving in
time and labor effected. 1t Is a mis-
take to let the corn or sorghum get
the start Of the peas. for unless they
grow up vigorously in the beginning
the ranker growing crops shade them
so that they do not grow well. In
several years experience the largest
percentage Of peas obtained in the corn
or sorghum crop intended for silnge
was ten per cent, This was not
enough to have any appreciable ef.
feet on the feeding value Of the crop
and it little more than paid for the
seed and the extra labor involved in
planting. 1t would be much better, in
my judgment. TO sow the cowpeas in
drills twenty-four inches apart and cut
and cure as hay and feed with the corr
or sorghum silage rather than attempt
TO balance up the food by growing
them in the drill row unless some
means can be devised by which a mucl
larger yield is obtained than follows
in the average year. Many person'
will be inclined to doubt this state
ment. but they have never taken tn,
trouble TO separate the peas and esti
mate the relative percentage Of pea
in the crop, The peas climb vigorously
and spread over the corn and sorghum
plants very often until they almos
cover them up. and one is ready {,
believe that there is a very large per
centage Of peas present, but actua
test has failed TO demonstrate this {,
