Cow Peas-Inorulating With Nitro
gen Fixing Bacteria.

There is no more interesting ques-
tion before the progressive Southern
farmers today than the enriching Of
their lands by growing cow peas for
grain and hay, and, at the same time,
storing an immense amount Of nitro
gen in the soil for future crops, es-
pecially those crops that require large
amounts Of nitrogen. One farmer in
Alabama last year, it is stated, clear
ed $4,000 on 400 acre farm Of poor
land by growing COW peas for hay,
while the land will produce fully dou-
BILE the crop this year that the land
produced before COW peas were grown
on it.
Last season, at considerable ex-
pense and labor, we inoculated about
eight acres Of cow peas with DR..
Moore's nitrogen fixing bacteria, al
ternating with uninoeulated plats, but
found absolutely no Improvement IN
the amount Of nodules on the 1nocu--
lated plats, excepting the earlier stage
of cow peas on new lands. We also
had several comparative tests with
alfalfa, but could see no difference be-
tween the inoculated and the uninoc-
ulated, excepting the first month, at
which period the difference in favor
Of the inoculated was very percept-
ible, in favor Of incubation on GER
tain characters Of soil. Our conc1u-
sions are that about all our Southern
soil is already thoroughly inoculated
with the cow pea bacteria, but the
minds of Southern farmers need in
oculating with the Importance OF the
COW pea.

Anniversary of Baltimore Incident.

Baltimore, Nd, April 19.-Today
is a memorable day in the history Of
this country. Just l3l years ago the
shot was fired at Lexington, which
"was heard around the world,' - and
just forty-fve years ago today Balti-
more was the scene Of an important
event in the history Of the United
States, the attack upon the Sixth
Massachusetts, regiment as it was on
its way to Washington in defence of
the Union. There are still quite a
number of persons living in this city
today who remember that April 19,
nearly half century ago.
The country was in turmoil then.
Fort Sumter had been fired upon, the
federal government had called for
volunteers to put down the rebellion
and the stars and bars had been run
up to replace the stars and stripes in
many of the Southern states. Balti-
more was a hotbed of Secessionists
then and, when the Washington au-
thorities attempted to passed armed

Boston, Mass, April l9.-The an
niversary Of the Battle of Lexington,
being a legal holiday in the state of

Many patriotic and social organiza-
tions will hold meetings this after

meaning and Importance Of the day.
In the town Of Lexing, Ion the day

starting at five o'clock in the morn
ing from the old Mystic Bridge that
divides the town from Medford and
marching up the Paul Revere road to
Lexington line. The corps visited the
Revolutionary monument and the
Revolutionary burying ground in the
town and decorated them with flowers

The work Of improving the COW pea
by breeding new varieties for special
hay or grain crops along the line as
suggested by Hon. A. H. Brabham
and DR.. Mason in our Farmers Union
column last week, should be taken up
by our farmers and pushed ahead. If
we can breed a variety Of peas that
will retain it's leaves in their green
state on the older parts Of the stalks
until the grain is about grown, we will
have a bonaza in the South that will
give us more food for all kinds. of
stock than we will, at the present day,
know what to do with. Give the up
to-date Southern farmer all the COW
pea hay to go with it that he may
need, and there is no end to the fine
horses, mules, COWS, sheep and hogs
we can raise. If the Southern farmer
has plenty Of COW peas and oats he
need not worry about any more crop
liens for corn, meat or milk. In the
COW pea and oats we have mortgage
litter; soil improver and fertilizer
bill reducer that would revolutionize
the whole Southern farming system if
the farmers would take hold Of this
system with half the energy they dis
play in growing cotton. Professor C..
L. Newman, Of the Agricultural de-
partment at Clemson, is the recog-
nized best authority on the COW pea in
this country. He grew at Clemson last
season over eighty different varieties
and has at other times grown over
twenty varieties Of the soga bean,
and we trust that the board Of trus-
tes Of Clemson will continue to en-
courage Professor Newman in this
very important work Of improving the
COW pea.

a Good Move.

Clemson college, through the aid of
the government, will at once proceed
to. establish at Clemson Experiment
station department Of animal indus
try for the purpose Of improving and
disseminating the best types Of stock
in the State suited for the general use
Of our farmers. This is very impor-
tant step in the right direction, and, if
carried out to completion in a practi-
cal way, will do an immense work to-
ward encouraging stock raising and
consequent diversifcation of our farm
crops. ... .......- --
This idea Of sending out knowledge
Of improved ideas Of breeding i'm
proved stock over the State will en-
courage farmers sons to remain upon
the farm. Clemson now has two hun
dred and fifteen students in the agri-
cultural class. When these boys have
finished their training for agricultural
pursuits, the national government is
ready to furnish these progressive
young men with further aid in the
way Of literature and seeds Of the new
plant breeding work. Then why not
the State complete this work by plant
ing the golden hoofs Of the best
breeds Of stock over the State?
Under this new impetus along the
line of progressive farming at Glenn
son we have bright prospect ahead
for our farmers sons. These golden
hoofs, improved seeds and implements
in the hands of well-trained minds Of
South Cardinals own sons we hope
will write out upon the States own
soil creditable reputation that all
may be proud Of.

It Was Recorded.

During a certain sea voyage the
mate of the brig Y, who usually
"kept the log,'' was found one day
to be unable to attend to the duty be-
cause of inebriation, and the work
was done by the captain; whose last
entry was "The mate was drunk all
day. On the following day, the
mate having recovered from the Ell
fects of his indulgence, resumed his
former attention to the "log' entries,
when he discovered his superior's rec
ord, and Immediately demonstrated
with that Afcer, asking "What the
need, sir, Of making that entry?''
"Wasn't it true?" demanded the
commander. eyes, replied the de-
linouent, "but I don't see any neces-
sity of making any record of it here. -
"Well," replied the captain, " as it
was true, it had better stand; 1t had
better stand.' -
At the close Of the following day,
when the captain examined the log
book he was astonished and provoked,
on finding therein, "The captain was
sober all day. Summoning his SUBJ
ordinate officer, he fercely demanded,
"Why did you make that entry?>'
"Why," said the mate, cit was true,
was it not?'' "Of course it was true !;
but am I not sober every day." ask
ed the now enraged captain. "Well, -
replied the mate, "but as it is true,
it had better stand; it had better
stand;" whereupon he turned on his
heel and left the captains presence,
but had not taken many steps when
he felt a current Of air caused by a
rapidly moving marline-spike passing
in dangerous proximity to one OF his
acoustic organs, having been hurled
by the angry captain.

and fearing the loss OF the greater part
4of the remainder Of Ms crew, he re-

point about fifty miles south of Vlad-t

BILE shore, and he made his way on foot
to the Siberian port.
There his bad luck forsook him for
while. He met a courltryfnan who
was an officer on one of the Ozaka
Shosen Kaisha company's steamers,
and was given berth. The steamer
was engaged in the Japanese domestic
carrying trade, and for year Lee
spent a quiet and uneventful life and
began to believe that he had shaken
off his hoodoo, but il only slept. In q
conflict with japanese sailor, who
had always regarded the English sailor

wounded and Lee was obliged to Hec
