The "Home Coming" idea for the
Old Settlers Reunion August a,
advanced by Col. R. H. Mansfield,
we believe will prove to be good
thing. The idea is to send an
invitation to all former residents
of this county inviting them to
attend the picnic. A special pro-

occasion. 1t will no doubt bring
many people back to old Mont
gomery county who would not
otherwise come, and some of
them may decide to again take up
their abode in this county.

COW PEAS.
Being Adapted to Northern Growth
and Proving a 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 a 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.
Gent in humus and needs some green
manure. They have a large leafy top.
A man must choose, however, the
variety suited for his purpose. II 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 will
fall of. AS a hay crop it 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
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 it in another
state.

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

In the popular acceptance of the
term, germ is any very minute liv-
ing being whether animal or vege-
table, is immaterial. They are all in
visible to the naked eye, and some of
them are so small as to be seen with
great difficulty even with the most
powerful microscopes made. They are,
generally, the smallest living things
in the world. The vegetable germs are
called bacteria and fungi the animal
germs, protozoans. While so exceed
ingly small, the life histories of many
germs are as well known as the lives
of higher forms of life, and yet, the
earnest study of these minute beings
does not extend back much more than
rs 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
pie compounds of earth and water.
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 nalnu-
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 t. 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 cabbao e
into sauerkraut is another Illustration
along the same line, and bread is
raised" through germ activity in
yeast.
Again, bacteria Tor germs) are use
full 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. Groft,
in the Farm Journal. They have 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 Ill 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. In the
case of animals, CHAMBERS, nydropho-
bia, tuberculosis. uro-pneumonia,
lockjaw, lumpjaw, anthrax and many
others, are germ diseases. Among
mankind, consumption, pneumonia,
tetanus, diphtheria, scarlet and ty-
phoid fevers, cholera, dysentery, small
pox, mumps, measles, the oriental
plague, and other diseases. are caused
by germs.
