Both Away From Termination.

A story is told of a west country
bishop who rebuked the sporting par
son for his hunting procliyities. \
near you go for fox hunting a good

ought not to do this; there is plenty
of work to be accomplished in tbs

fox hunting is merely healthy exer-

truly speaking, I was three or four

The greatest difficulty, and most
essential to overcome, lies in training
the Indian to work and to habits of
independence. Great success along
these lines has been achieved by Maj.
Reynolds, the agent in the Crow coun-
try, who has converted tribe of
wandering tent jewellers into prosper
Gus farmers. He called the tribe to-
gether, and, much as one narrating
a fairy tale, told them of the down
east county fair-the horse racing, the
creased pig and the slippery pole.
The curiosity of the Indians was
aroused. A down east fair" was or
ganized, and then Mai. Reynolds
craftily suggested the agricultural
feature. A spirit of emulation in the
production of prize pumpkins was
aroused; an agricultural society was
organized On the occasion of the in
dustrial fair OF September, 1905,
hundreds of Indians from different
tribes assembled. There were thirty
or more entries in the contest for
farm teams In the driving team
competition Chief Plenty-Coos was
beaten by squaw Now the Crows
have an agricultural hall, pig and
poultry building and stock stable, and
the fair is a cherished institution

Rare Birds

Taxidermist G. H. Hoxie, of Dover,
has three birds, very rare for this sec
tion, which he is mounting at his
shop on Lincoln street, consisting of
an American rough legged hawk, a
snowy owl and doyekie. The lat
ter mentioned bird was found in the
western part of the town one night
last week. 1t had evidently been
driven inland by the strong wind, as
IL was in an exhausted condition and
died few days after. Local bird
authorities state that never to their
knowledge has an Aemerican rough
legged hawk been seen in this sec
ton. The snowy owl is found occa-
sionally. but it is rare visitor in this

The Mitigate.

Last year the pope decided that the
time had arrived for thorough re-
vision of tAesL Latin translation of the
Bible. Acs kdingly, the Benedictine
order was authorized to undertake
the task. which is now being carried
out. Since the day when St. Jerome
first produced his translation of the
Scriptures, several revisions have
been made by learned bodies which
have added, if anything, to the confu-
sion of words and meaning. Thus
the present commission is charged by
the pope to spare neither time nor exc
pense in endeavoring to arrive, if pos
sible, at the original translation. At
a meeting of the photographed So
ciety the president of the revision
commission read a paper setting
forth the need for such a work.-Lon-

Preparing the Soil for COwpeas.


The successful culture of the cow
pea depends in large measure on
proper soil preparation. Especially
is this true where clay soils FREEDOM
mate as they do over wide areas of
the United States. The eowpea is a
tap-rooted plant, and the vigor Of its
growth depends largely on the ease
with which it can send its tap root
and radiating branches deeply into
the ground in search of food. The
root development also measures the
number and size Of the nodules, and
hence its power to assimi1ate atmos-
pheric nitrogen. Lands intended for
the culture of the pea, when of
heavy character, should be deeply
broken, at least ten or twelve inches.
and If the under soil is very tenacious
SUBSIDIZED six or eight inches below
the surface furrow. The deep break
ing of the land should not be done all
at once, as this would bring too much
of the under soil to the surface and
no growth would take place until the
soil had become thoroughly oxydized
through exposure to air. This expla-
nation is made for fear some person.
| not realizing the importance of grad
ually deepening the soil, should suf-
fer from blowing the land deeply all
at once. and hence be prejudiced
against the system forever afterward.
The Importance of deep blowing
and the careful preparation of seed
bed cannot be urged too strongly, and
| is based on the careful study of the
pea in many sections of the country
It's grave Importance is illustrated
very nicely by the following observa-
ton: The tap roots of a number of
cowpeas grown in the typical red clay
soils of the South, even when deeply
broken and subsoiled, were found to
be atrophied at a depth of eighteen
! to twenty-four inches. They were
pinched off because they. could not
/ penetrate through the tenacious sub
| soil, and hence the plant was forced
to develop its roots comparatively
near the surface It's feeding area
was thus restricted, the supply OF
available moisture limited and the de-
| velopment Of the plant retarded ac-
cordingly. The thorough culture OF
/ the soil for the cowpea or any other
crop is never wasted, for certain in
exorable laws govern the growth and
/ development of the plant, and the
| greatest measure of success in its
/ culture will be attained the more
nearly these laws are complied with.
See to it that the ground is so cult
! waited and prepared that the roots of
the plant can make normal growth.
If the soil is carefully prepared and
j the pea fails to make a desirable
! growth, it may be attributable to
some other cause than a lack of root
development, in all probability being
due to the need of the bacteria pre-
viousIy mentioned. Where this diff
Guilty is met with the soil should be
inoculated by hauling several loads of
earth from land where the peas have
been successfully cultivated and scat
tering it over the surface to be
planted. In lands well supplied with
vegetable matter or where a consider
able amount of nitrogen is used to
give the peas a good start at the time
of drilling the seed, there is not often
any need of inoculating the soil arti.
