HIRAM's STROKE OF BUSINESS.
%OIl Fever" a WlndfalI for Lazy and
uhscrupulous Texan.

During the "oil fever" in Texas some
years ago the surprise of Hardtimes, a
little town in the southwestern part
of the state, was. the discovery of oil
on Hiram Strong's place. If ever
there was a man misnamed 1t was
Hiram, for he was the weakest,
scrawniest, most pusillanimous mortal
in the whole country. In addition, he
had the reputation of being the lazi-
est man for radius OF ten miles in
all directions
However, the oil on his place was
OF good grade and after some dick
ering Hiram was enabled to sell his
land outright for good figure. Then
he "salted" his pile somewhere, some
how, and proceeded to enjoy life.
The purchasers OF the land, to their
dismay, however, found that the well
was exhausted after a few gallons OF
oil had been pumped out. They pro-
ceeded at once to hunt up Hiram.
To him they told the startling fact
and accused him of fraud.
"How many gallons did you get
put?' he asked.
They told him at least six; no
more, though.
That's square," he answered, "for
| know / poured in at least ten fore
| sold that land to yer!" And that
was all the satisfaction they ever got
out of Hiram. Exchange.

Where clover is not adapted or fire.
quently fails cowpeas may be substi-
tuted, and may be used to Improve
soil conditions SO that clover will
catch.
The growing of cowpeas increases
the productive capacity of the soil by
storing and making available plant
food.
An improvement in the physical
condition of the soil is always noted
where cowpeas have grown The soil
becomes more open, friable, more
easily worked. holds moisture better
and dries out earlier in the spring.
Because of their nitrogen content,
heavy growth and rapid maturity,
cowpeas are especially well adapted
for green manuring
Varieties of cowpeas differ widely
in their habits of growth. These vary
from an upright. bush-like form to low
trailing vines many feet in length.
Some mature in go days, other require
100 days or more.
The variety to be selected for plan
ing depends upon the purpose for
which crop is grown and upon the
length of the growing season.
The Whippoorwill variety is recon-
mended for the general grower. The
New Era is the best suited for catch
crop or for short growing season.
Cowpeas respond generously to
thorough soil preparation The seed
bed should be given as good treat
ment as that of corn.
When peas are not to be cultivated
four or five pecks Of seed per acre
will be required; If to be cultivated
fivesto eight quarts.
Cultivated peas require less seed
more labor and YIELD is usually but
little heavier than when not cult
waited.
When peas are intended for the
main crop, planting should begin moi
earlier than two weeks after the usual
time for corn planting. For catch
crop SOW at the earliest date possible
after wheat or oats have been cut.
The vines should be cut for hay
when the first pods turn yellow, and
before the leaves begin to fall
\ Cowpeas yield from one to four tons
Of hay per acre and from eight tc
twenty-five bushels Of seed
The average crop Of cowpeas has .
value not exceeded by that OF any
other crop in the state, equally wei
adapted and distributed,

The cowpea (Vigna catjang) be-
longs to the general family Of
leguminous plants and is closely re-
lated to the lima bean of the garden
Contrary TO it's name the cowpea is,
in its botanical relations, of nearer
kin to the bean than to the pea. In
appearance the cowpea plant resem-
bles the bean and like it Is an annual
very sensitive to frost. The plant
varies in habits OF growth from an up
right, bush-like form, foot or more
in height with tendrils a few inches
in length, to mass of low, trailing
vines many feet long. The form of
the cowpea plant varies not only with
the variety but also with the length
of season, soil, moisture, and cultural
conditions.
When properly cured cowpeas make
an excellent hay. Few farmers realize
that cowpea hay has feeding value
nearly equal 10 alfalfa and fully equal
to the best of red dover hay. 1t is
equally as profitable a feed as alfalfa,
and when fed to dairy cows or grow
ing animals Will produce as good re-
suits. Work animals can be main
tanned on cowpes hay with the addi-
ton of but very little grain. The chief
value of cowpea hay lies in its large
percent of digestible protein as is

why is 1t, Miss Willing, that fat

i seldom see a jolly, fat man with an
ugly, cross looking wife. BY Jove,
those fellows just go in and win the
pretty women every time"
well, Mr.. Hammerslee, / can ac-
count for that. You see, a husband
should be sort of bromide, should
have a soothing effect. Fat men are
placid, calm, jolly and good providers.
They like the good things of life them
selves, and they like to see their
wives well dressed, and to sit down
to good table. No wonder women
like them better than they do lean,
dyspeptic, nervous, cranky men, who
find fault, nag, and are stingy, Men
like this want a lot of waiting on
and attention, they are generally jeal-
GUS and selfish. Fat men hate fuss,
seem to understand that wives are as
fond Of being spoiled and of having
good clothes and good dinners as other
women are, and hence women natu-
rally marry men Of this temperament. !"

First Aid for British Army.

The British army is considering the
adoption of the Utermohlen system Of
first aid surgical dressings, which
have been in use in the Dutch army
for several years. The packets are
small and light. One dressing is SO
designed that man can unpack and
place the antiseptic pad upon his
wounded arm by using the other hand
only, the packet being unloosened by
pulling certain strings with the teeth
and shaking the dressingk out Of the
containing paper. 1t consists OF a
square pad, to which are attached
bandages, and these being pulled
apart enable the dressing to be fixed
by wrapping and to be tied with great
celebrity. The larger packets contain
two similar dressings, which can be
applied to the orifices OF entry and
exit of bullet.

ing habit. The ordinary moving ma
chine will readily cut and save the
entire plant If OF upright growth, and
for the reason that vines of this
character do not lie so closely to-
gether is Of advantage in curing
Cowpeas should be cut when the pods
are fun grown and when consider
able number of them have turned yel-
low. AT this stage none OF the leaves
have dropped and the plant has prac-
tically attained its growth. Begin
cutting in the morning as soon as the
dew is off, if indications are favorable
for a number OF fair days. Leave in
the swath until the exposed portion
is we'll cured, but moi dry enough TO
crumble and break The vines should
then be teddered, or if a tedder is
not available rake into small wind
rows Always be careful to use the
tedder early in the morning when the
dry leaves are "incase" so as to avoid
breaking them off by the teddering
process. When the upper side is we'll
dried the windows should be turned
over. Where the hay is heavy a ted
der should Immediately follow the
mower. This practice insures uniform
drying and If the vines are handled
before the leaves are dry enough to
break no loss will occur.
AS much forage can be produced
from cowpeas in so days as red clover
will yield in Is months.
The feeding value of cowpea hay
is fully equal that Of the best red
clover and is almost equal to alfalfa.
Cowpeas make an excellent pasture,
especially valuable as a supplement-
airy feed for growing animals, particu-
larly hogs.
The quick maturing habit of the
cowpea renders it admirably for SOW
ing as catch crop between he reg
ular crops OF the rotation. Ii south

verified by numerous feeding tests.
The growing of cowpeas has a
marked influence on the productive
capacity of the soil. The beneficial
effect is due to the increased amount
OF available plant food in the soil and
to its improved physical condition.
The growing of cowpeas may be
said to increase the productive capac-
ity of the soil; list, By increasing
the supply of nitrogen; End, BY max
ing available the mineral compounds
of phosphoric acid and potash; Bird,
BY improving the physical condition
of the soil.
The seed bed for cowpeas should
receive as thorough preparation as for
corn. TO insure prompt and uniform
termination it is necessary to provide
a warm, moist, mellow soil. When
peas are planted late in season as
catch crop after wheat and oats it is
essential to break the land again. This
must be done to get the soil in prop
err condition for prompt termination
and to retain the moisture.
The method of planting peas will
depend upon whether they are to be
cultivated or not. Where cultivation
is intended they may be planted in
rows varying in width from 20 to A
inches. A common practice among
farmers, and method we have used
successfully at the Station, Is to seed
with an ordinary corn-planter with
drill attachment straddling each alter
nate row and thus making the rows
% inches apart. The field is drilled
as for corn placing the peas 6 to 10
inches apart in the row at a depth OF
about two inches or depth SUFFICIENT
to insure plenty of moisture. This
method Of planting requires about 8
to quarts Of peas per acre, SO that a
bushel planted in this manner will
SOW as much as four or five bushels
broad cast. However, the saving IN
cost Of seed Is about euualled by the
cost of the subsequent cultivation
Where a corn planter is not accessible
an ordinary two-horse wheat drill may
be used by plugging up all the holes
except each third one.
The methods employed in the har
vesting and curing Of cowpea hay are
not unlike those practised with REQ
clover and alfalfa. The readiness
with which cowpea hay Is cured de
ponds largely upon the maturity o.
the vine and upon its habit Of growth
Both harvesting and curing are great

Going farther, he learned that If a

achieved, the projectlle fired from a
cannon on the worlds pinnacle would
pass straight into space, escape the
earth's attraction, and instead of fall

planet nearest it at the time.
This theory, if executed, would make
communication with Mars possible. A

impossible. When the gun and explo.
