Cowpeas.
The cowpea belongs to the Leg


um;nosae family and is close kin to
the vetcI, peas, beans, etc. Like
all legumes it has the power OF
gathering atmospheric nitrogen
through bacteria which live IN the
ocdules on it's roots. 1t is there
fore one of the best soil improving
crops known, and its cultivation
cannot be too strongly urged on
our farmers for it provides a hay of
excellent quality which can often
be fed as a substitute for a part of
the wheat bran, corn or oats so
commonly fed to beef and dairy
cattle, thus reducing the cost OF
making a gallon of milk or a
! pound of beef as the case NAV be.
The land for cowpeas should be
carefully prepared and we'll ferti-
lied, though it is seldom necessary
to supply nitrogen. When<6ocu-
lation is advisable an artificial cul-
ture NAV be used, or 200 to 500 lbs
of soil from a field where cowpeas
have grown successfully before.
200 lbs Of high grade acid phos-
phate, basic Stag, or 500 lbs of bone
meal with 200 ato 800 lbs of un-
leached wood ashes or 5O lbs OF
muriate or snlphate OF potash VIII
make IA good application OF fertI-
lizer to use on cowpeas, The cow
pea is adapted to a great variety OF
soils AMI il the seed is obtained
local sou: ces it thrives we'll from
the coastal plains to an elevation
of $500 {. ct alb we sea level. Cow
peas may be 5roadcasted or sown IN
drills "a inches apart by stopping
up two out of every three OF the
tubes on an ordinary grain drill.
When drilled use from three pecks
to bushel per acre. and when
broadcasted from Il bushels to Z
bushels.
Some of the best varieties OF cow
peas to grow are Warrer's Extra
Early. New Era, Whippoorwill, La
dy, Red Ripper, Crowder, Black,
Iron, Clay and Wonderful or I'm
known. The New Era, Black, Clay
and Whippoorwill are among the
hest varieties to grow for SEED.
Cowpeas will yield from 10 to 20
bushels of grain per acre and from
II to 81 tons of hay. The feeding
value of well cured cowpea hay
cannot be emphasized too strongly
and the grain is valuable as an ad-
iutant in feeding beef and dairy
cattle and swine. The high price
of the grain has prevented its gen.
eral use for this purpose.
The value of the cowpea crop as
a green manure lies in the fact
that it will gather from rs to 10
lbs of nitrogen per acre from the
air, By blowing under the entire
crop as much as SIS worth of nitro
gen can be added to an acre OF land.
A crop of cowpeas if properly plow-
ed under will not sour the land,
but will improve it's mechanical
condition wonderfully and increase
its crop yielding capacity. The In
crease sometimes amounts to ten
bushels of wheat and 20 to 70 BUSH
els of corn. In the dark tobacco
belt cowpeas can be brought into
!, the rotation and used for soil build
ing purposes with marked advant-
age. Cowpea hay will cost from
So so to 800 per ton and will
bring from Sl2 to SIS on most
markets. Cowpeas can be utilized
for grazing by hogs and cattle with
most satisfactory results. They
can also be grown with corn and
sorghum for silage purposes.
Why not utilize this valuable
crop more generally,
Andrew NJ Soule,
Dean and director.

That operator knows her business. She
knows how to attain the best results
with the least effort.
In a city like Los Angeles one
would be surprised to know of the care
less manner in which people use the
English language. 1t is now becoming
practice with telephone companies to
train their operators in the correct
habit of speaking. In any exchange
you will see half hundred operators
talking at once, but you will scarcely
hear anything more than a mere hum

They have been taught to throw
their voices into the mouthpiece of the
telephone instead of scattering the
sound. 1t is one of the essential feat
ures of a telephone conversation which
people should learn. A properly trained
voice is full but low. 1t carries per
fectly to the other end of the wire. BY
practicing this kind of speech for eight
hours every day the telephone operator
soon becomes an adept.
There is little doubt that the tee-
phone Is indespensa BILE, and as everyone
uses an instrument more or less he
should learn how to talk over il. 1t

them. Shrill voices are becoming

By Associated Press.


CHESCENT CITY, July &c. r.
Cuisno, a prominent merchant of this
city, together with Eli Charters and
Allen Braid, were arrested yesterday
and held to answer on the statutory
charge of violation of sepulcher. From
an interview with the prosecuting at
torneys, 1t appears that Cuisno, Char
ters and Baird are charged with rob-
b1ng the graves of no less than thirty
five Indians for the purposes of secur-
ing relics and valua bles, supposed to
have been buried with the bodies.
It is charged that they not only dug
up the bodies, but afterwards threw the
remains about promiscuously. The
feeling among the Indians has reached
such pitch that at the preliminary
hearing a continuance was asked for in
order that Frank Kyselka, an Indian
agent at the Hoota reservation, might
have time to get here. 1t is generally
understood that KySelka will represent
the government and assist in the prose-
cution of the prisoners.
F. W. Taft, the prosecuting attorney,
stated last night that he not only had
a clear case against Cuisno Baird and
Charters, but that it would involve

"E. R. WERDIN, SHERIFF."
RECEIVES NO CREDIT
ASPIRANT FOR SHRIEvALTY ACTS
AS OFFICER
He Brngs to Central Station One of
the Most Completely Intoxicated
Men Ever Taken to City Jail and
Then Loses Him

f. R. Werdin, former street superin-
tendent and aspirant for the sherivalty,
did his first work on the local police
force last night, when he acted as a
patrol driver from the Chutes park to
the cetnral station, bringing George
Terry of MonroVia to the central sta
ton, where an argument ensued as to
who should have the credit for the
arrest.
Officer Ingram contended that as he
held the man in the Werdin automobile
he should have the credit for the arrest,
but Werdin thought that as he was
sheriff--or as good as sheriff-the man
should be booked to e R. Werdin,
Sheriff"
After an argument before Acting
Desk Sergeant Heath the man from
Monrovia was booked to Ingram, and
Werdin went out, listening to an ex-
PLANTATION from one of the henchmen of
Sheriff White upon the difference be-
tween being an officer and a candidate.
The man who was brought to the
central station by Werden in his auto
mobile was considered by Acting Desk
Sergeant Heath to be the most COM
pletely intoxicated man ever taken to
the city's jail. and it is said the way
Werdin drove his car from the Chutes
TO the central station was a model Of
speed propriety for autoists.

NEW FRENCH GUN RECEIVED
Sample of Improved LebeI Rifle COM
pared With Those Used by
Uncle Sam
BY AssocIatcS T'ress.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-A sample
of the new French small arm. the i'm
proved Lebel rifle, has been received al
the war department and is being care
fully examined by the experts.
The gun is about four inches longer
than the new American rife, slightly
smaller in caliber and pound or two
heavier but it does not appear that
it surpasses the American arm in
range, accuracy or other valuable quail
tiles.
The magazine extends in line with
the barrel lire an American sporting
rifle and the gun uses no clips, conse-
quenty it is slower to load than our
own gun.
The center of gravity is continually
shifting with the movement of the mu-
milton in the magazine and there is
danger that a shell in the magazine
might he exploded by sharp blow of
the stock upon the ground, causing the
pointed bullet of one shell to strike the
primer of the one above it.
queer square ribbed bayonet over
twenty inches I'm length, fitted with a
sword handle of aluminium, gives the
French gun a formidable appearance.
but our ordnance officers think better
of our knife bayonet

COMPANY F TO Be
MUSTERED OUT
ORDER TO DISBAND COMES
FROM GOVERNOR
Spirit Of lnsubordination Which is
Said to Have Prevailed for Some
Time Ends In Decisive
Action

Company f Of the Seventh regiment
N. G.. c., in which there is said to
have been more dissension, inefficiency
and fnsubordination than in any other
California company, was disbanded yes
terday on order of Adjutant General
Lauck of Sacramento.
The order was issued by Governor
Pardee and Adiutant- General Lauck
forwarded the order to the company
commander at Los Angeles. The order
stated that the company should he dis
banded and mustered out of the service
of the state. The action of the COVER
nor was taken upon the recommends
ton of General Robert WankowsN of
the First brigade, and il was said to
have been caused by prevailing spirit
of insubordination among so many of
the men that the only course to pursue
was to order its discontinuance. The
company will be disbanded July 81.
Discomfort and dissatisfaction among
the men led to the resignation of Capt.
Irving McKenna from the command of
the company The resignation was ac-
cepted by Gen. WanlSowsl<i, who ap-
pointed Roy c. Pretniss. first liteuten-
ant of the company. to serve as cap
tain pending the appointment of a sue
cessor to McKenna.
The next difference in the company
was the quarrel between Quartermaster
Sergeant Charles Plaisance and the
sergeant who had charge of the build
ing. Plaisance was said to have used
language unbecoming an officer and 81
gentleman and he was found guilty by
court martial He was reduced to the
ranks of the company and was later
dishonorably discharged. Plaisance
was one of the heartiest supporters of
Nc Eenna and when he was dismissed
from the company it was believed that
the trouble would end, but this hope
WAS not realized

CRESCENT CITY, July 21.-Follow-
ing upon the heels of the arrest of
Cuisno. Charters and Baird of this city
on the charge of robbing the graves OF
Indians for the purpose of securing
relics comes the arrest of Charles
Kreider of Eureka, who, it is alleged |,
took an active part in the removal of
the bodies.
1t is also alleged that Kreider repre-

handled Indian curios.
From hints dropped by the prosecut-
