One species g. parvulus) has been
reported from Maryland and Ne
braska as seriously injuring blue
grass. Another Is. robustus) has
been known to breed in the roots of
corn. Native food plants of this
genus are the grasses, rushes and
sedges.
Where land has recently been brok-
en- from swamp or marshes, the Prai-
RE Farmer recommends that it is wise
to plant at first some other crop than
corn, such as fax or potatoes. Fall
blowing of infested land will tend to
drive the beetles to other fields.

COW PEAS.
Being Adapted to Northern Growth
and Proving Good Crop for
Making Hay.

we would advise most of our read
ers to make a 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-
Gently considered a 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 for
blowing under when the soil is def
cient in humus and needs some green
manure. They have a large leafy top.
A man must choose, however, the
variety suited for his purpose. If he
intends to pillow them under he must
use a 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 viii
fail off. Az hay crop IL ia being
Displaced by the sey bean South ct
central Illinois cew peas may be
grown much more successfully than
north of that point, where the frosts
come early. To those wishing to go
into the details Of COW pea growing,
the Farmers Review suggests the
sending to your state experiment sta
ton for their literature on the grow
ing of COW peas in your state. Every
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
use that can be made of 1t in another
state.

Don't Fit Together.

The Practical Farmer says that It
seems very hard to get people to I'M
derstand that plant like the ccw-pea,
that requires hot weather tor its
growth, and oats, that require cold
weather, cannot be associated success
fully. II the peas are sown at oat
seeding, they will perish from cold,
and II oats are sown late In May or
June, when the peas should be sown,
they will not amount to much, and
will probably be choked out Wy the
peas. Canada peas are the only peas
to associate with oats, and these sell
dom do well south of New York state.

GERMS ON THE FARM.
Some Are a Detriment, Some a Bene-
fit-Use Latter to Fight
the Former.

In the popular acceptance of the
term, germ is any very minute nv
ing being; whether animal or vege-
table, is lmmaterial. They are all in
visible to the naked eye, and some of
mem are SO small as TO be seen with
great difficulty even with the most
powerful microscopes made. They are,
Aeneraiiy, the smallest living things
in the world The vegetable germs are
eai.eu bacteria and rungi; the animal
aerms, prDtozoans. While so exceed
.nsly small, the life histories OF many
5ernis are as well known as the lives
u higher forms OF life, and yet, the
earnest study OIL these minute beings
uoes not extend back much more than
IS years.
In general way, the great purpose
OF germs in the world may be said
to hasten decay. Indeed, some scien-
lists say there is no decay where
germs are not. These invisible forms
quickly convert dead animals and veg
etable structures into earth, water and
air, or in other words, into the SIM
Warmth and moisture promote germ
growth and hence, decay.
The first purpose of germ life is
beneficial. A second action is also
utilized by mankind. In the malnu-
triton and ripening of certain prod
ucts, germs are the active agents. Thus,
cream and cheese are ripened, before
use, through bacterial action. The
ripening of wine and beer due tt, sim
liar action. Beef is made tender, and
the flavor of game is developed in the
same manner, by germ growth In the
tissues. The fermentation of CABBAGE
into sauerkraut is another illustration
along the same line, and bread is
raised through germ activity in
yeast.
Again, bacteria Tor germs) are use
ful In gathering and preparing plant
food in the soil On plants of the clover
and bean family, bacteria gather in
colonies on the roots, and the reaction
which is produced between the air and
soil by these germs is the development
OF heterogeneous plant food This is one
OF the greatest achievements of these
little beings for the benefit of man.
This work is of incalculable value to
the farmer, and to all mankind.
But the work of germs is not wholly
beneficial, declares DR.. George G.. Croft,
in the Farm Journal. They nave their
evil ways as well as their good ones.
Some germs have fallen upon the bad
habit of killing plants and animals
before these would naturally die Thus
the potato rot, the black rot i'll the
grape, the rot of the plum and cherry,
the black knot on the plum and cherry
trees, rust on grain, and other plant
diseases, are caused by germs. lii the
case of animals, CHAMBERS, nydropho-
bia, tuberculosis, pleuro- pneumonia,
lockjaw, lumpjaw, anthrax and many
others, are germ diseases. Among
mankind, consumption, pneumonia,
tetanus, diphtheria, scarlet end ty-
phofd fevers, cholera, dysentery, small
pox, mumps, measles, the oriental
plague, and other diseases, are caused
by germs.

Among this class the symptoms of
female diseases are early manifest by
weak and aching backs, pain in the
lower limbs and lower part of the
stomach. In consequence of frequent
wetting of the feet, periods become
painful and irregular, and frequently
there are faint and dizzy spells, with
loss of appetite, until life is a burden.
All these symptoms point to de-
rangement of the female organism
which can be easily and promptly
cured by Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound.
Miss Abby f. Barrows, Jacksonville,

her letters of advice of untold value to

COMPROMISES
IN CONGRESS
The Senate Offers Basis for
4 siisanl Agreement On
-
IMPORTANT LEGISLATION
Includes Court Review Plan for the
Railroads Statehood Bill to Be
Passed With Foraker
Amendment
IMPORTANT LEGISLATION

Washington, March 81. Compromise
is in the air at the capitol. Within the
last twentyrfour hours there has been
nm exchange of views on paper between
the Senate steering committee and tho
Speaker OF the House and the House
leaders regarding the more important
measures pending before the Congress.
The compromise plan now under con
sideration emanated from the Senate
steering committee, and provides;
(I) The passage of q railroad rate bill
containing provision for y compre-
hcnalyc court review.
(2J The acceptance of q statehood bill
such All passed the Senate, with the ad-
@ilion of the Foraker amendment Of last
year providing that at the time state
officers are elected there shall also be
i vote by the people Of the two Terri
tories upon the question OF Joint state
hood.
{a) That the Philippine bill which has
passed the House shall be- reported to
the Senate from committee without rec
onnnendation and shall there be given
"a fair show.
"a That the House shall pass the ship
subsidy bill as ii came from the Senate.
The compromise programme does not
commend itself to the House leaders.
They See IN It only submission 10 the
Senate, and point To the fact that the
passage III il railroad rate bill with q
court review and statehood bill no
longer rests with the Senate, but is
demanded by the country in tone that
Congress must heed. The House leaders
also believe, that. the country gcneMllX,
does not indaxse the action of the
ate in smothering' the Philippine
in committee: as for the ship sub &%
bill. Speaker Cannon has already inform
ed Representative Littleield OF Maine,
the COMMITTEES sent to him by the New
England delegation, that there could be
no ship subsidy legislation at this sesf
sion OF the Congress.
Although the outlook for the accept
ance of this compromise plan in its en-
tircty Ii distinctly unfavorable, out Of
ii will prababiy come q basis Of agree
mcrt between the two houses. Passage
Of the railroad rate bill with the court
review and the acceptance OF a statehood
bill seems probable The outlook for
the ship subsidy legislation at this ses'
sion is gloomy, and The friends Of the
Philippine bill are equally pessimistic
about its fate at this session.
