Cowpeas and Sorghum.

Where preferred and when it is not
especially desirable to have very early
hay, sorghum and cowpeas may be
sown together broadcast, one-half bu-
shell Of sorghum to one and one-half
bushels of cowpeas per acre Amber
sorghum and some early variety of cow
peas will mature quickly, but for heavy
yields Orange sorghum and a running
variety of cowpeas should be used
The land should be well broken and
thoroughly prepared before sowing the
seed. This point must be observed in
all cases.

Peanuts.

The value of peanuts as a hay and
food crop has never been appreciated.
The peanut will grow on the larger
portion of the unlands of the South.
AS a crop for varied uses nothing ex-
cells it. It can be made profitable when
nuts are grown for the market, and ii
has been found to produce more and
cheaper pork than any other crop.
When used as hay for horses and cat
tide the vines and nuts are pulled up
and cured together. In this shape they
are relished by all kinds of stock, and
as they are highly nutritious they can
be utilized in the place of the more
expensive grains to a great extent.
Peanuts should not be planted until
warm spring weather. Plant on well
prepared soil, in rows three feet apart
and twelve inches apart in drill for
the Spanish variety and greater dis
lance for the larger varieties. The
Spanish is preferred for feeding pur-
poses
The peanut, like the other plants
mentioned, is soil improver, and ev-
cry farmer should look with more fav-
or on its place among the farm crops.
All Corn and Hay Should be Grown on
the Farm.
With the splendid record of corn
States, and with our advantages in
climate and so many valuable forage
crops to supplement grains for feed
ing to stock, it is a dscredit for any
farmer to buy corn and hay except in
rare eases of misfortune.

Soy Beans

In some localities the soy bean has
proved a most desirable hay and forage
plant. The beans are very rich in pro
tein and the stalk is equal to pea hay
or alfalfa when properly cured While
not adapted to all soils, as is the cow
pea, the soy bean should be given a
trial on every farm.
Sow in rows three feet apart, one
half bushel of good seed per acre, cul-
tivate well, and cut when the plants
first begin to ripen or turn yellow
When intended for seed purposes the
crop should be allowed to ripen a little
longer than hay.
The soy bean has been found valua-
bic for hogs, where they are allowed
to gather the crop from the field.

Velvet Beans.

In the Gulf states, and on poor
soils especially, the velvet bean will
be found a profitable crop. 1t makes
a very luxuriant growth, requires lit
tie cultivation, and when planted early
will mature large quantities of seed
sufficient to be pastured off by cows
and hogs. The vine is too rank and
coarse for hay, but adds more fertility
to the soil than any Of the legumes
on account of its growth and it's root
system.
The seed is cheaper than soy beans
or cowpeas, as one bushel will be suf-
fcient to plant four or five acres. For
building up very poor soils it ranks
first among legumes both as to cost
and efficiency.

CHAPTER XXI.

December was crsping the air when
they told Narcisse Harcourt she might
leave the hospital
Not for any length of time. but just
for trip down town, If you wish." said
DR.. Fothergill who do you want to
go with?"
I'D like you, and Mr.. Hartley" an
swered Mrs. Harcourt, frankly. Il want
to go and buy some presents for these
nurses who have been so kind to me,
and / want-I want to go and see my
husband"
DIR. Fothergill telephoned for Philip
and he was there shortly before noon
as the doctor had asked. Philip had
not been able to buy a new overcoat
that winter. and he felt more the Peri
outside the gate than ever, when Mrs.
Harcourt. in her rich furs and radiant
beauty, followed the doctor into the
parlor. The months in the hospital
had worked wonders with Mrs. Har-
court. The old unfathomable brillian-
cy had left her eyes, but there was a
sweeter, a more human look within
them, and the weird alabaster tones of
her skin were replaced with more
babyish purity of luster. She was
more a woman. less a strange, unreal
phantom from another world. They
did their shopping first, but curtailed 1t
because the crowds in the stores stop
per to gaze open -mouthed at the start
ling beauty of Mrs. Harcourt, the grim
plainness of DIR. Fothergill. and Philip
IIo ~
the ladies. Then in one department
store. some one whispered that the
woman in the luxurious furs was that
mysterious Mrs. Harcourt, you know
and Phil had much ado to get both his
| charges unharmed into waiting taxi
| cab.
Thither they went direct to the jail
Harcourt had not been told of their
! coming visit. as his wife had expressly
wished it so. She went rapidly through
the dingy hall, and ratified imperious-
ly at the bars of the door. Harcourt
was sitting moodily in one corner OF
| the room, as had been his habit of late
He did not heed the rustic of silken
| skirts nor the faint perfume that au
| reoled his wife.
Harold" she called. Harold, OH
| Harold"
At sound of her voice he turned and
gasped. Then he rose. and like an old
old man. walked over and thrust his
hands through the door.
| "Narcisse." he faltered. and whether
1t was fear. or wonder. or admiration
in his face and voice, one could no,
tell. Plainly he was Ill at ease.

their location for years was known
only to me- My father in some way
discovered their situation-beneath and
beyond the castle 10 which Miss Ian

she first arrived in Africa, and from
which she has so recently departed.
You must know that though he is
American born and bred. that for thir-

there to -empt those mines, and

Their woes have been many. Tyoga

ITINERANT NEWsMEN.
~~N~NN~O~~~

Owing to the widespread illiteracy
among the poorer classes in Mexico,
public newspaper readers have become
a feature of Mexican life. Few men
of the peon class are able to read or
write. Consequently the newspaper
reader is enabled to earn living by
making the rounds of the drinking
places and reciting the news of the
day. In Mexico, the Wonderland Of
the South" w. E. Carson tells of this
custom.
A certain amount of literary skill Is
required to follow this strange calling
successfully; the reader is, in fact, a
sort of peripatetic news distributor.
He selects only two or three items
which he knows will interest his audi
ence. The Orizaban reader, for exam
pie, started with the most important
topic of the day. He read an article
which discussed the financial panic
then in progress in the United States,
and the hard times 1t had caused in
Mexico through the closing Of mines
and other enterprises controlled by
Americans. Things were improving
said the newspaper, and thousands Of
Mexicans who had lost employment
would soon be going back to work and
earning plenty Of money to buy food
and drink.
The reader next selected what jour-
nalists would term human interest"
story, In tragic tones, with appropri-
ate gestures, he entertained his audi
ence with a dispatch from northern
Mexico which related how a drink
crazed peasant had set fire to the hut
of a neighbor with whom he had a
feud, and had shot down his enemy
as he attempted to escape. Pursued
by the rurales, the murderer had
fallen, riddled with bullets, after open
ing fire on his pursuers.
This top Of the column" story
seemed to excite intense interest. Leap
ing down from his perch on a barrel,
the reader went round, sombrero In
hand, and made a collection; then
bowling politely, with "Buenos dias,
senores!" he sauntered off to the mex.
drinking-place.

TAXI AND DooRMAN NURSES.

ServitOrs Whose Duties Are Not
What Their Titles Imply.
Service of the most highly special
lied kind is nothing new in this city,
a New York correspondent of the
Baltimore News says. Indeed, with
special Wallets for pet dogs and cats,
whose only duty is to look after the
comfort of their four-footed charges;
governesses for pet monkeys, and in
structors to teach parrots foreign Ian
guages, the limit would seem to have
been reached. That is was not is evi-
denced by the arrival of the two new
est servitors up to date-the taxi gov
erness and the doorman nurse.
Contrary to their titles, the gov
erness does not look after taxicabs,
nor the doorman take care of a door.
The field of usefulness OF the former
is confined to caring for children
taken by their mothers in taxicabs on
shopping or calling tours. Lacking a
nurse of her own, the mother who
wishes to give her youngster a ride
without the bother of taking him into
the stores or the risk of leaving him
alone in the vehicle calls in the taxi
nurse. Her duty 1t is at so much per
hour to look after the youngster dur
ing the expedition.
The doorman nurse is a less ex.
pensive luxury of the same kind
Children may be left in his charge

An hour later brought the dawn
Guided by Meta. Larry and his wife,
and Johnny reached the yacht that had
brought Betty from America and found
the children still sleeping and Tyoga
and Hackleye already aboard. Th..

Murderer, murderer" he shrieked at
Hackleye. "Ah, let me at him!" Mr.

Many as are his crimes, we dare
not leave him to their hands," said Be-
noni. half regretfully. it seemed to
Larry.
The yacht took the river like a gull
on the wing. The morning breeze was
chill and portent of rain hung in the
sky. though the sun was fighting to
prick the thickly banked up clouds.
Fifty leagues had they gone. when City
Editor Burton, who had not been left

that Mr.. Wayne was beyond human

There he found the women In a tor.

and the rocking motion of the yacht
What sort of iends' work is this
boat?" questioned Larry. though Beno-
nj and lie Malheureux had both risen
in his estimation since they had seen
him successfully married to Betty.

This is my wireless apparatus. I've

When lie Malheureux paused. Beno-

Malheureux turned his post over to

view his dead.
He was gone. very long while. and
when he came back he neither ques-

found the body gone. and the deck
freshly scrubbed. they asked Benon
