had become discouraged Antoine got

pitiful. He asked the boy to stop work
Ing the center and try the side. When
the boy did not understand Antoine
Impatiently drove his own pick in the
place designated.
Suddenly (says one who knew him
on that day. he was spellbound at
sight of large stone "a diamond. For
some moments he could not move and
could not speak. He feared 1t was an
Illusion, like the mirage of water
which appears to men long athirst He
expected 1t to vanish II he winked an
eyelash. Collecting his energies, he
darted forward and clutched the stone.
Such was the tumult within him that
for two days he was unable to eat or
do anything but laugh and cry!"
Now, back home In Vierzon. where
he had been peasant, he sits, as you
may see, in comfort and content. with
glass replica of the diamond on the
tip of his weather vane, for the stone
itself weighed 2SS carats in the rough.

purchased it paid hundreds of thou

The COW pea Is large beanllks
plant that produces large amount Of
forage. It is valuable as a green food
or for blowing under for green ma
nure. 1t has been used successfully
for improving WORKOUT soils. especially
those that are light and sandy in tex.
ture. It's greatest advantage for this
purpose is It's ability TO gather nitro
gen from the air and mineral elements
from subsoil. When the crop IL pillow
cd 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. 1t 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 half bushels per

growing in young orchards, When
wanted for fodder 1t should be sown
in early June, in drills 21a feet apart.
