FOR SOILING AND ENsILAGE
cowpeas Are Very Satisfactory and
Furnish Abundance Of SuccuIent
Green Feed.

AS soiling crop cowpeas are very
satisfactory and furnish an abundance
Of succulent green feed, although per-
haps less palatable than alfalfa.
Used alone, the cowpea does not
make an exceptionally good quality of
ensilage, due to the large quantity of
water in the green vines, making a
water silage that keeps poorly and is
ACT well relished by stock.
When in combination with corn. in
The proportion Of about one-fourrh
cowpeas to three-fourths corn. it
makes an excellent silage that keeps
we'll and is relished by all classes OF
stock. This combination has greater
feeding value than corn silage, for the
Season that cowpeas, being relatively
Aigh in protein, make the cowpea-corn
silage more nearly balanced ration.
Professor Call says it Is a common
practise in dairy sections to grow
cowpeas and corn In separate fields
and mix them as the silo is being
allied. 1t would seem more desirable
practise to grow the corn and cowpeas
together.
An experiment along this line was
conducted at the Kansas experiment
station during the years 1903, 1904
and 1905, the corn and cowpeas being
planted together In rows. When plant
ed the right thickness-corn 10 to "a
inches, and cowpeas four to six inches
apart, in drill rows three and a half
feet apart-each grew equally well
and produced from 10 to IA tons of
green fodder per acre. The cowpeas
twined around the corn stalks, making
the crop easy to harvest with the corn
binder.

Fight Quack Grass Now.


Get to work now on the small
patches of quack grass. Set them
apart for special attention during the
rest Of the season. Keep the under
ground stems from being dragged to
other parts Of the field. If the patches
are too large to smother with tar
paper, dig up the grass, shake out the
roots and underground stems carefully
and haul them from the field and
burn. A five or six-tined fork will be
found valuable tool for this work.
If dead the roots and stems may be
plowed under to increase fertility.
Look the patches over every week to
catch any plants that may have been
left or that may have developed.

this warlke mountain kept its passes by
ceaseless watching night and day, and submis-
sion to Turkish authority was of nominal ma

A wonderful people these Monteneerins with
wonderful history. If ever Servian empire
be re-established. If ever the Balkan states be-
come united in powerful confederation that
would wholly change the political complexion of
the near east and its problems it will be largely
due to the patriotism and pluck of this little pa
triarchal state. To this day the men wear an
edging of black in their scarlet caps-this In
mourning for lost Slav empre-and with all
the passion of primitive people they hold to
that national idea which would accomplish the
union of all the Serb states.
Early in the sixteenth century the ruler of the
Montenegrins, being pious prince. who much
loved the church, handed executive authority to
the metropolitan bishop, who henceforth bore the
title of "vladika," or prince bishop. For three
and half centuries spiritual and temporal
power lay in one mans hands the vladika being
little Balkan pope In 1896 the Petrovic Njegos
family entered into possession of this princely
power, and this dynasty rules in Montenegro still
in favor Of that of hospodar, at the same time
severing the temporal authority from the spirit
ual oversight of the people. In 1853 Danilo II.
ordered the enrolment in arms Of all Montene-
grin males capable Of service. The tribal system
still obtained, chieftains OF clans being directly
responsible to their prince. On August 10, 1860,
the present ruler acceded to power, and during
the fifty years Of a notable reign Prince Nicholas
has done much to cfvilize and modernize this
primitive mountain land while at the same time
he has been careful to keep national habits in
all their simplicity and to foster lofty national
ism of spirit and sentiment among his people,

and have never seen reason to modify
it, that an acre of sorghum (even with
out the seed) in winter will feed
more stock than two or three acres Of
corn fodder or hay. II, on the other
hand, it is fed seed and all, it would
largely increase the number of cattle
that could be kept from the growth
