Cowpeas as Orchard Cover.

Growers Of peaches are using cow
peas as cover crops in the orchard. The
vines shade the land, and may be turn
ed under when the pods are nearly ripe.
or may remain as mulch in winter. It
Is more profitable to use the vines for
food for cattle, but, at the same time,
if mulch is required, it is well to
grow the mulch, especially when a
Ieguminous plant answers so we'll. One
advantage in growing the cowpea is
that it is almost sure crop, and lime
or wood ashes may be used as a fer
tilizer with it. The peach orchard viii
in no manner be injured by growing the
cowpea as long as the land is given
the benefit of the crop by blowing the
plants under.

There is in Connaught, Ireland,
remarkable curiosity, which gives an
example of official oversight. When
the great famine of 1S47 was upon the
land the government of the DAY ceB-
ceived the idea of opening line Of
navigation from Galway to Ballina. by
way of Tough Corrib and Tough Mask,
SO as to avoid the dangers of the west
ern coast From Cong canal was
actually made to Tough Mask as part
of the general scheme. The work gave
great deal of employment and so far
the canal served the purpose Bur
when it was completed it was found
the canal would not hold water. The
fact that the rock of the district is of
very porous character had been over
looked.

some of the fun and fight, as well as
lots of gum-elastic marches through
dust and heat. and mud and cold, and
profanity. The girl was married about
six months afterward, and married to

All wars produce great deal Of poe
try. Some of it is very beautiful, some
of it very pathetic and some of 1t very
funny, while much Of it comes limpfng
home as lame as if it had lost its feet
in battle.
Among the typical poems that our
last war produced were, ON the Federal
side, Writers Barbara Frietchie,"
and on the Confederate side "Stonewall
Jackson's Way" The songs most pop
ular in the armies were, OH the Fed
eral side. John Browns Body"
Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys Are
Marching" Rally Round the Flag,
Boys" and Say. Darkies, Have You
Seen Old Marster?" Marching
Through Georgia" was written after
the war On the Confederate side the
popular songs were Dixie 1.-THE Bon

Maryland"
OF the post-bellum poetry one of the
most beautiful things was THE Con-
Quered Banner" by Father Ryan, the
poet-priest if Mobile. One stanza of
that is:
Take that banner down, it's tattered;
Broken is it's staff, and shattered,
And the valiant ones are scattered
Over whom it fioated high.
Oh, It's hard for us to fold it;
Hard to think there's none to hold it;
Hard for us who once unrolled it
Now to fold it with a sigh.
Please allow me to offer to the pres
ent flow of verse the following:
Take the rag ye sons of sires-
They who kept the altar fires
Of the nation blazing bright,
Through the wild, tempestuous night
OF the wars black desolation,
And who gave the land salvation.
Sons of soldiers, take the banners,
And with long and loud hosannas
Praise the God who reigns above,
Who hath given Home and Love:
Let your watchword ever be,
North and South, Fraternity"
Ger the land and every sea,
Hold this ensign of the free,
Guiding by it's lambent light,
1t will lead you in the right,
Ever onward stern arrayed.
