With the crops practically housed
and only the remnants to be gathered,
there is now nothing to do but to fix
up things generally and commence op-
erations for next years crop. One
good way to begin is to sow rye,
wherever possible, for grazing in the
spring and for soil Improvement. We
want to plan to make larger yields
per acre next year than we made
this year., or last year either. The
surest way to do this is to do better
farming. Rye will hold much fertility
that would be leaehed out of the soil
by the winter rains and lost to us II
there were no living plants to take 1t
up. And when plowed under next
spring, rye will give to the land, in
addition to the stored fertility, hunus
which most of our lands stand so
much in need of. 1t is late, of course,
to SOW rye, but this is one Of the
things about which it can be truth

think I have solved the problem,
in part at least, so far as the deep
plowing goes. Divide your general
farm into three parts. OF course, have
your truck patches near the house
Independent of the farm rotation.
Then put one in corn; one in cotton,
peanuts or tobacco as a money crop,
whichever you prefer; and the third
set apart for peas.
Well, you are ready to say this is
old as the hills; but here is my hobby
the kind of peas. They are known
here as the "Wonderful'' pea, down
south as Unknown" pea. Plan: in 4
foot rows, two peas in hill, 4 feet
apart, in this latitude about the goth
of April or as soon as ground is warm
enough for corn planting. Run around
them with cotton plow, twice with
long sweeps and split middles. Now,
you are too poor for moving ma
chine, and it takes too long to cut
by hand. If any get ripe before frost
save your seed; if not, just before
frost, turn in horses, cows and hogs,
and see them get fat and winter on
the pea stubble, and trample some in
the ground.
These peas have been depositing
nitrogen in the soil 614 months OBJ
tanned from the air by vines 20 to 80
feet long, against the ordinary peas
from IS to rs days, and a vine two
feet high. You have your land well
subsoiled to the depth of Is inches
or two feet, better than you could
have done it with subsoil plow and
three mules. Now plant. this land
next year in your money crop and see
the results. Don't look in the adver-
tisements for mine. l have no peas
for sale, but will have to buy. often
lose seed of this late pea, but will
have them if have to buy at S. per
bushel
Don't put them where you want to
keep stand of wire or Bermuda
grass. The dense shade destroys it en-
tirely. My experience has been on
red clay gals, without any fertiliz-
ers whatever, and some of the land
would not have brought a nubbin of
corn. This year it will make four to
Ave barrels an acre. How, with hills
SO far apart, they do so much good
in storing nitrogen I can't tell, un-
1aaS tho root growth ic similar to the
vines. / would be glad if the expert
mept stations would investigate and
report results. Of course, if you apply
10-4 acid phosphate the results will be
better-W. w. Rainey, in Progressive

Among the scores of admirers who
besieged the Won Haake home was
Pritchard, then II years old. His ath-
letic figure, more than six feet two
inches in height, was notable even
among the Washington crowds, where
there are so many big, erect men. He
was then in his second year ut An
napo1is, having been appointed by
Congressman Overstreet of Indiana.
His home was in Indianapolis.
Every time Pritchard obtained leave
Of absence he ran down to Washing
ton. Every time the Annapolis crew
raced-the big MILDLY rowed at num-
Der three-Miss Won Haake waved her
blue flag and cheered.
A year and a half ago young Cath.
cart met Miss Won Haake in Phila-
delphia. He was then student In the
University of. Pennsylvania He took
a small part in athletics, too. but he
is by no means the striking figure Prit-
chard is.
Cathcart is a reticent, reserved
young man. He was then about %
years old.
Pretty Miss Won Haake and Cath
cart were married last June in New
burgh on the Hudson, the bridegroom's
home. Within month the couple
quarreled, but peace was made. In
September Cathcarf and his bride
visited Philadelphia. The husband left
the bride at the railway station while
he went to look after baggage. When
he returned she Was gone.

An unrsfinad LANGUAGE.

Esperanto is gaining ground. 1t has
entirely superseded Volapuk, and has
other victories yetato win. 1t may do
service in the bAsiness world, and II
may serve as medium of communi-
cation between members of different
nations who have no other common
tongue. But, remarks the Christian
Register, that it will ever become q
literary language seems to us more
than doubtful We do not believe that
it is mere stupid conservatism that
makes us recoil from it as a medium
for transmission of the higher forms
OF thought. In Esperanto "bulbo"
means a bulb, but it may mean an
onion. Such language does not pre-
serve the nice distinctions which
mark the work of refined thinker
and expert writer.

Health officials of New York city
