Cow Peas.

Don't think of not planting a full
crop of cowpeas because you think
the seed too high.
Where seed is scarce plant In the
drill and cultivate them with the plow
or disk harrow. One peck OF GOOD
seed may be made to completely
cover the ground with vines II the
whey sort is planted.
Harvest the crop of seed and vines
when pods begin to turn yellow by
cutting the vines OF at the roots,
rake ND in good size stacks: when wei

Thrash out peas and vines with
thresher or stick. This threshing OF
the vines improves the mechanical
condition OF the hay and solves the
problem as to the cheapest method o.
gathering 'cowpeas.
You can well afford to pay even
per bushel for cowpeas rather tnai
do without the crop.

WAYS OF WEARING VEIL.
Several New Ones Are In Vogue at
the Present Time.

The box plated topknot to the we'd
ding veil is now the accepted fad OF
fashion. Most often the upturning
plaits are arranged in the form OF
coronet, but again they are narrowed
together into one square. upturning
bunch of plaits, which shall have the
effect almost of Spanish comb.
These plaits are held in place by
either a wreath of flowers or tiara.
The last, even of diamonds. Is worn
by the bride who is fortunate enough
to possess one. Miss Florence Flower,
now Mrs. Pierre Lorillard Barley,
married not long ago, had her veil OF
malines, held by gorgeous diamond
tiara. 1t was first box plated at the
crown of the head. Sometimes the
hair is waved In the new, high stand
ing Partisan waves, which build the
couture up high. The dainty flower
wreath Is laid around this, and tner
the mass of maline box plaits is bull
up from the back to surmount the
crown of the head, like the number
less heavy headdresses that are worn
One advantage about this style is tina
1t certainly gives the bride heigh
should she need 1t.
For the bride who prefers the wid'
pcmpadour the veil may be draped II
a small bow or sort of double litti
puff or rosettes laid fiat on the crow
of the head and intertwined with ne
flowers. For the girl who wears IN
Greuze couture, who wears alread
a ribbon of white tule or gauze intel
threaded In her hair, with one or DOL
BILE rosettes near her ears, the We
may be simply attached under TN
coiffure. Young women who anet
this coiffure-of course, It Is only SUI
able for the most girlish type-have
shell hairpin with hole near the en-
like q needle for threading the gauz
ribbon through.

SOUTHERN
AGRICULTURE
FEEDING CATTLE IN THE SOUTH.
Southern Farmers Can Not Afford to
Grow Stock on Purchased Feeds.

Now | want to go on record as
stating thai the farmers OF the South
east will never do any great business
in stock growing and feeding while
they depend on the purchasing OF feed
stuf1s for the finishing of their AMI
mails. What we want to do Is to grow
on our own farms the feed consumed
by our animals, as we can grow iced
at from one-tbird to one-haif what the
same feed would cost us on the mar
ket. to say nothing OF cost OF trans
portation. So say II you are grow
ing cotton. BIZ all means feed your
cottcnseed meal; but If you are not
! In a cotton section. don't you pur-
chase very much meal. but Instead,
grow corn and feed that. What l
mean by corn is the entire corn plant,
not simply the grain, and we want 10
see so per cent of the crop grown into
the silo. There isn't farm in the
South that is producing cotton that
cannot produce corn as well, While
there are thousands of farms on which
corn can be made valuable crop that
will not produce cotton at all.
Harrow made a strong point IN
favor of cottonseed meal when ne
brought out the fact that the manure

product was so rich In nitrogen. But

TEMPERANCE
TOPICS.


Mr.. John +. Stevens, who un-
dertook wh~. is said to be "the
greatest eng l1eering enterprise In
the world" the building of the Pam
anna Canal, is a practical prohibi-
tlo1list The following from the New
York Tribune describes the measures
he adopted several years ago to pre-
vent the sale of liquor to construc-
tion gang of several hundred men
who under his direction were build
ing a new railroad They were
camped in tents many miles from
the nearest settlement, and opera
tions were expensive because proyi-
sions had to be hauled long dis
tance overland. and he could not af-
ford to have the efficiency of the
workmen impaired by drink.
The work went on satisfactorily
until some one possessing more en-
terprise than principle appeared
upon the scene TO profit by trading
upon the vices OF the laborers He
erected a rude shack and stocked It
with vile whisky. The men having
no other place in which to amuse
themselves or spend their money.
patronized the saloon so freely that
the gang soon became demoralized.
1t was a costly proposition for the
railroad company.
''The saloon was not situated on
railroad land, SO Mr.. Stevens had no
legal authority to rid himself of it,
and expostulation with the proprie-
tor, who was coining money fast, was
of no avail. Finally the engineer
made personal visit to the saloon
and engaged in an interview with the
proprietor.
When are you going to leave
here?' he asked.
When l get good and ready
was the surly response.
4 am going now laconically re-
torted Stevens, and so saying, he
drew from his pocket a mammoth
dynamite cartridge, scratched a
match on his corduroy trousers, ig-
nited the fuse, threw the missile of
destruction behind the bar and ran.
The saloonkeeper decided that he
was quite ready to go also and didn't
argue the proposition. In thirty
seconds the shack was blown to
pieces and business was not resumed
at the old stand.
Soon after this a man appeared
In the camp carrying in big tin
receptacle which he had on his back
q considerable amount of whisky,
which he sold to the men. He had
been in business only a short time
when sharpshooter, acting under
Mr.. Stevens orders, plugged the can
lengthwise while the owner was car
rying it on his back. The bullet made
two holes In the can. The whisky
gurgled out and the thoroughly
frightened owner was convinced that
he was up against a proposition.
That was the end of the whisky busi-
ness In that camp"

publIc placards AgaInst DrInI..

In Europe the temperance move
ment which is now gaining such
hopeful headway began with MEM
bers of the medical profession. Sew
eral years ago in Paris, a physician
holding an important municipal Of
fee, became alarmed by the prevail
ing misconceptions of the Atwater
experiments, and conceived q unique
way of instituting total abstinence
propaganda. He prepared large plac-
ards setting forth the salient evils Of
alcoholic drinks and posted them in
many public places throughout the
city. This example has been copied
by some of the boroughs of London,
and by other English and Scotch
cities. A more striking way of con-
veying temperance instruction could
scarcely be devised.
