Cow Peas And Some OF Their Uses

Cow Peas improve the condition
and productiv,n mess OF the land to re
markable extent, especially on SOILS OF
a medium light or sandy nature. and
are unqueStionably the best and sur
est cropping summer forage and soil
improving crop that can be grown
When sown alone, they should be put
in at the rate OF iiLm one to one and
a half bushels per acre, and to SOW for
a forage and soil improving crop they
are best sown broadcast For this pur-
pose. too, the mixed COW peas will give
as good if not better results than the
straight varieties. The mixed COW
peas we offer are composed OF the
best and largest growing varieties,
like Black, Clay, Wonderful. Whip
poorwill, etc. Our southern growers
have found out the superiority of sow
ing mixed COW peas i'll this way. and
consequently the largest proportion OF
peas which "" get in from the South
is OF mixed peas grown in this way,
and not purposely mixed after being
grown As mixed COW peas can be
purchased at less than the straight
varieties. quite saving is affected in
the cost OF seeding, by their use.
GRAIN CROPS TO FOLLOW COW
PEAS
Where COW peas are SOwn by them
selves. the best and most effective way
OF using them is to cut and cure the
crop for forage, and then run cut
away or disk harrow over the siubb.c
to prepare the laGd and sow down to
wheat or other fall Sown gram. The
PRINCIPAL fertilizing value Of the cow
pea is i'll the nitrogen noduIes II the
roots, and lafali Jz;ssrssspared in this way
avoids exposing and losing this vs'u-
able fertilizing constituent, keeping 1t
and rendering it available Tor the crops
which follow the COW peas. Land pre-
pared in this way also gives a good,
firm seed bed for the fall-sown grain,
which is always an advantage over land
that is freshly plowed and too porous.
as it enables the grain to stand the
winter better.

SOWING COW PEAS AT THE
LAST WORKING OF CORN

Another very popular use of COW
peas is t. SOW them at the last work
ing OF corn. drilling them between the
rows Of corn. a sowing of crimson
clover and rye or barley can be made
corn is har. e-.ed, cattle or hogs can
be turned i'll, and viii fatten rapidly
on the cow peas grown in this way. At
the sane time, the crimson clover and
rye or barley will grow and make ex-
celent winter and spring pasturage, or
a fine Soil-improving crop to turn un~
der. to be followed by corn or other
crops the following season. When
sown in drill. IN this way. hall bushel
of COW peas to the acre will be sufti-
cient.
Cow peas are a'so an excellent crop
to sow in connection with sorghum
or Katfir corn to use as fall growing
crop for fattening cattle For this
purpose we would recommend bushel
OF COW peas and peek OF kaffir corn
or sorghum to the acre.
SONING COW PEAS FOR SEED
PURPOSES.
" hen it is desired 10 sow COW peas
with view to gathering the peas, it
IS best to SOW them in drills about 3 to
:, I-2 feet apart and at the rate OF half
a bushei to the acre. The larger guam
ti,y OF cow peas throughout the South
are usually pi:ked by hand, although
the cutting OF the vines and threshing
is coming quite generally into vogue
i'll some sections nov. In some in
stances. when COW peas are grown to
save the peas. the vines, roots and all,
are pulled up and threshed out. To do
this. however. is very undesirable. as
it removes from the land practically
the entire fertilizng value of the COW
PEA in the heterogeneous. nodule-Eear ng
roots.

Making a Noise.

| A surprisingly large number of our
| correspondents have sent US letters,
some of which we have printed, grave
! ly Offering answers to the question
| whether there is any sound where there
are no ears to hear it. Though each
writer writes With beautiful confidence
| that he is right, they are about equally
| divided between the affirmative and the
| negative-and all are wrong, since not
| one of them has noted what ought to
| be the fact, that the question as asked
| is unanswerable.
The trouble with it is that as pre-
scented it ignores the double signifi-
| canoe possessed by the word sound"
| Part of the tine, as used, it means the
sensation in consciousness produced by
certain air vibrations on the auditory
nerves. At least as often it means the
| air vibrations themselves. In the one
sense, of course. there is no sound
where there are no ears; in the other,
| ears have nothing to do with it. When
we talk about, the speed at which
sound moves, the varying methods of
| its productions, or the interference of
| atmospheric or other conditions with
| its TRANSMISSION, we have reference to
| something which would continue to ex-
| list if there was not a living being in
! the universe, and it is sound" just
as much in a desert as in a city.
| 1t is curious that the same ques-
| ton is never raised in regard to the
| other influences affecting the senses.
At least thos- other influences-light,
heat, taste, smell-do not become the
| subject of the same queer bepuZzle-
| ment Yet each of these words is
used in the same double significance,
and, as matter of fact. it is no easier
to prove that sound is all in the hear
| ing than to prove that everything we
know is all in the knowing. Indeed.
| that truth has been the basis of
| many an absurd system of philosophy
and not a few religions, and every
year or two somebody discovers it
anew. Argument that starts without
an agreement on definitions-or pro-
ceeds without sticking to them-is a
| dreadful waste of time at best, and at
worst it lies at the bottom of most
human wars and disputes, especially
the fierce and bitter ones.-New York

PARCELS CARRIED CHEAPLY

In view of the efforts being made
these days by the authorities in Kan
sas and other sections of the country
for more reasonable express rates, it
is interesting to learn of the prompt
ness and cheapness of parcel services
in foreign countries, either through
the medium of parcels post or by ex-
press companies. or even by the rail-
roads themselves. Horace Lee Wash
ington, United States consul at Liv-
erpool, has just made a report on the
facilities afforded to the British pub
lie for rapid and cheap transportation
of light merchandise. Among other
things he says:
THE Cheshire lines committee was
formed for the purpose of enabling
three large railway companies (The
Midland, The Great Northern, and
The Great CentraD to gain access to
the city of Liverpool, and the follow
ing details as to the collection and de-
livery of parcels on passenger trains
and the rates therefor apply to each
of the companies named. Parcels
and merchandise for shipment on
passenger trains are received at the
central office of the Cheshire lines
committee in Liverpool, and at the
various depots throughout the city,
also from warehouses, large stores,
and certain agencies in the city, The
number of the daily collections varies
| according to the number. of parcels
usually shipped. The minimum num-
Der of collections is two and the maxi
mum eight. Packages handed over
to the company or to any of its col
lectors are delivered in any part of
the country the following day. In
many instances, however, delivery is
made the same day a package is re-
ceived.
The scale of charges varies with
the weight of parcels and the dis
tances. For ordinary parcels up to
2 pounds weight the rate for any dis
lance within England and Wales or
to Irish ports and to~interior stations
in Ireland with which through book
ing arrangements exist, is cents; 81
| pound packages pay 10 cents; A.
pound, II cents; while greater weights
up to % pounds, preserve the same
rate of IL cents for the first 80 miles.
the charge increases beyond this with
increasing weight or distance, the lat
ter being in zones up to 80 miles. 80
to so miles, so to 100 miles, and above
| 100 miles, respectively. For 112
pounds anywhere within the first zone
the charge is Sc cents, $1.13 to points
in second zone. $40 for third zone,
and $2.27 for the fourth. For weights
above 112 pounds the additional
charge for each pound is 0.5 cent, /
