cow PEAS.
Being Adapted to Northern Growth
and Proving n-Good Crop for
Making Hay.

We would advise most Of our read
ers to make study of COW peas, for
on many of our farms they will be
found available. Cow peas are among
the most interesting farm plants that
we have. This was until quite re-
tently considered plant adapted to
The United States south of the Ohio
river, but within few years COW
peas have been raised as far north
as Michigan and Wisconsin. They
have ripened seed as far north as
Madison They make a good crop fer
blowing under when the soil is def
sient in humus and needs some green
manure. They have large leafy top.
A man must choose however, the
variety suited for his purpose. If he
Intends to plowY them under he must
hse non-running variety, as the
long vines of the running varieties
cannot be easily plowed under, for
obvious reasons.
The COW pea makes a good hay, but
must be cut early or the leaves will
fan off, AS a hay crop 1t is being
displaced by the soy bean South of
central Illinois COW peas may be
grown much more successfully than
north OF that point, where the frosts
rome early To those wishing to go
into the details of COW pea growing,
the Farmers Review suggests the
sending to your state experiment sta
tion for their literature on the grow.

state has its peculiar conditions and
the use that can be made of the COW
pea in one state is not the same as the

to plant at first some other crop than
corn, such as fax or potatoes. Fall

WELSH WEDDINGS.
Whe. O.e Had 10 Catch HIS Bride
After winaiag Her.

A wedding as II was customarily Sr-
ranged in Wales some half century
ago was an inte resting affair.
In those days. as sooi as the young
people had made up their own minds.
before they could speak of wedding
the consent of the brides parents had
TO be obtained. This arrangement. or.
rather. consent. wis called the Gofyn-y-
ferch and could by no means be done
by letter. a written document being
considered very bad taste.
A good deal of formality surrounded
the Gofyn-y ferch. and IL WAS not 10 be
omitted even when the parents We're
known TO be willing. The accepted
lover had many anxieties. and among
them. the necessity of which will be
seen by and by, was the pace OF his
best horse and the pace and mettle Of
his friends horses.
At last the wedding day dawned.
The bride was dressed early, but over
her finery she wore a long cloak, but
toned all the way down to the ground.
while hood entirely covered her head
and face. In the course of the morning
the bridegroom sent some OF his friends
to seek out the bride. Arrived at her
fathers house they found the door
locked, and before they could be ad-
mitted they had to recite some poetry
Sometimes the fair lady's whims and
caprices made the delay in unlocking
the door very long. When the door was
open the bride was still to be found
She had taken refuge In some OBJ
scure corner of the house. where she
was crouching out OF sight. completely
covered with her long cloak. This
game of hide and seek was sometimes
so prolonged that when the bride was
found II was too late TO be married
that day. but this did not happen often.
When the bride was really found, there
was a great mounting OF horses She,
In her modest cloak, was seated behind
her father and all the company set Oh
as fast as their steeds could go, all
except the brides mother, who seldom.
II ever. attended her daughters wed
ding
Up hill and down dale. over smooth
and rough ground. the mountain ponies
galloped. and shame on the bridegroom
II he and his friends did not reach the
church before the bride. Service over,
the bridegroom had still to keep guard
over his wife. for In one country par
ish. II not In many. II was the custom
for friends Of the young man to wait
outside the church until the service
was over. When the happy couple ap-
peared. the bride was seixed and placed
behind one Of the men, who gallopec
OF with her.
Naturally she was hotly pursued by
the bridegroom, who. of course, after
an exciting chase. eventually captured
her. When at last the wife was Sc
cured she took her seat behind her
husband and on his own horse, and the
company rode OF again TO the brides
old home. Arrived Mt the house. all
the party drank the health Of bride
and bridegroom out Of the same pew

A tribe that dances. and dances all
the time except when sleeping or rest
ing, is the Tanala the forest people"
OF the north central part of Madagas-
car. They dance instead of walking.
and instead of running they only dance
faster. Their religious ceremonies are
dances: their amusement is dancing.
They dance even while hewing trees,
erecting houses or gathering rice. They
have danced SO long for many genera
lions that they have forgotten other
gaits and other motions and go through
life in one long delirious whirl.
Besides dancing in quantity, il is de-
clared that their dances. or some OF
them. are the most expressive and
meanlngful. as well as the most beau
tifully and gracefully executed, In the
world.
Every emotion Of the human race is
expressed in their dances, and the
forms Of the dance are as numerous
as the emotions OF the dancer, says
the Chicago Tribune. They dance with
arms. with legs, with bodies and with
faces, posing in every conceivable at
titude and doing steps and executing
movements that would make the most
skillful Of stage dancers wild with
envy.
Every form Of the dance, almost, is

the lust OF battle, 60 forth to meet the

themselves up to a pitch Of frenzy,
screaming rhythmically, while the
musical instruments rise higher and

dances, join In the cries, urging the
dancers to wilder exertions. The de-
