A Mon ument to the G. A. r..

At the close of the rebellion 1t be-
came a question what to do with the
vast army of trained veterans who
surrounded Washington in the last
days of the war Visions of men on
horseback, of Pretorian guards over
awning the civil power, of corps COM
manders taking the place of gov
errors, fitted across the public imag
nation. It was a problem-an insol-
uble problem, so far as thinking it
out was concerned. Nobody could
solve 1t but the veterans themselves,
and they settled it in short order
After marching In the last review,
they simply dispersed. That was all
there was to it.
SO far from desiring to take charge
of the government, or turn 1t into a
military despotism, the old soldiers
hated the very thought OF war for
wars sake. The Grand Army of the
Republic, which was organized some
years after the close of the rebellion,
through the efforts of DR.. B. +. Ste
phensOn, had hard time getting
started, because Of this fact. But the
G. A. r. had reason for being, and
it gradually won it's way into the
hearts of the old soldiers, who began
at length to appreciate the society
which took up the work of preserving
the memory of the heroic dead, and
assisting needy living comrades.
We owe the reverential observance
of Memorial Day largely to the infu-
ence and example of the G. A. R. The
day, at first devoted merely to the
placing of flowers on the graves Of
the dead, has widened into a great
historical holiday even superseding
tho Fourth Of July in serious atten-
ton to our military annals and to
the incubation of patriotism The
G. A. r. will leave Memorial day as it's
special gift to the nation, when with
the death of it's last surviving comrade
1t passes into history.
But Memorial day is only one Of the
many good works of the G. A. r. 1t
has by many campfire preserved the
stories of the war. It has laid genial
emphasis on the comradeship of arms
Congress has done something that all
men will approve in using public
money to build a monument in Wash
1ngton to the founder of the G. A. r,
The Stephenson statue, recently un-
yelled, will serve to commemorate not
only the work of the man who had
great idea and the energy to bring 1t
to fruition, but the work of one of the
finest organizations Of modern times

The Cowpea as a Fertilizer.
The cow pea is a large beanlike
plant that produces large amount of
forage. It is valuable as a green food
or for blowing under for green ma
nure. It has been used successfully
for improving wornout soils, especially
those that are light and sandy in tex
ture. It's greatest advantage for this
purpose Is Its ability to gather nitro
gen from the air and mineral elements
from subsoil When the crop Ii plow-
ed under, these are left near the sur
face, where they will be available to
shallow-rooted crops and those which
cannot get nitrogen from the air. It
has been little used for hay in the
North, because 1t cannot be readily
dried in this climate. It makes a good
green feed for milch cows between
August Is and September Is, or 1t may
be preserved in the silo by mixing
with corn fodder. For green manur-
ing, the seed should be sown broad
cast in late June or early July, at
the rate of one and a half bushels per
acre. It is especially valuable for
growing in young orchards. When
wanted for fodder 1t should be sown
in early June, in drills "a feet apart,
at the rate Of one bushel seed per
acre
