The Cowpsa Crop.

The cowpea is part of the corn problem in the South, and the plan generally adopted of broadcasting half bushel to a bushel of seed to the acre at the time of the last work ing of the corn and cultivating it has given good results.
 The corn should be gathered as early as practicable and the stock turned in. Fortunate is the man who has tight fencing, so that the pigs, as well as the work stock and cattle, can have chance at the cowpeas. On some of the poorer lands the corn rows may be made 6 feet apart and a row of peanuts planted between them; this will add to the value of the fall pasture when no cowpeas are planted. As soon as the crop of cowpeas has been fairly well grazed, break deep, setting the furrows on edge; harrow; SOW to oats, vetch, winter barley, or rye. and turn this under in the spring. This plan will economically improve the soil and greatly increase the average crop production.
 Where the season is too short to successfully carry out the foregoing plan it has been found that planting vetch and rye or crimson clover in the corn and turning them under in the spring rapidly builds up the soil and is much more economical than the use of large quantities of con- mercial fertilizers. The general ob- ject is to keep the land occupied summer and winter, producing something of value for food of fer tllizer and at the same time protect ing the loose soils from washing or teaching by the heavy rains of winter and spring. .---Department of Agri- 1 culture Bulletin.

Give the glad hand to every stranger you meet. You were in the same class here yourself not so very long ago, and it takes a town at least 100 years to be entitled to an exclusive class. We were all high-browed aristocrats where we came from, but we needn't tell everybody about it and perhaps they won't hold it against us. Cultivate a spirit of cordiality. It's not a sign of ill-breeding, anyhow. Many prospector has become a perma- nent citizen of place because the people were friendly and sociable. Words fitly spoken. Some of the biggest dubs in this world, some of the longest cared bipedal donkeys in this or any other country, are en- braced in that contingent of the population which thinks it adds to it's importance or exclusiveness to repel new acquaintances. It re- quires less talent, fewer brains and a smaller amount of money to be snobbish than anything else in christendom, except idiotic. .---Tali- nina Tribune.

KEEP THE SILVER LINING OUT.

It is worthy of note that Mena is attracting strangers to her doors nowadays. They are at the hotels, on the streets. They come to see what we have to offer them in the way of business opportunity, health, comfort in climate all the things that go to make home.
 It is a fact, in this connection, that few if any of these are displeased with what they see. They admire the cleanliness of our streets, the miles of concrete sidewalks, the sub stantial buildings. the schools. the churches, and fairly go into ecstacies over our beautiful park and the ex- quisite mountain scenery. A n q water-well. few ever tasted so fine, if their words are to be believed.
 But there's fly in the treacle for all that-and this same fly sends many of them away. perhaps never to return.
 Too many of our own people, so used to the good things here that they give them no heed, cannot re- sist the temptation to point out every cloud and shadow. every ghost and hobgoblin that they can scare up, little thinking that these same words of gloom are almost sure to drive prospective purchasers of property and residents away, and thus bring about the very condition that they picture in their worst moods.
 Cheer up. Point out the good things that you know we have. Show
