Velvet Beans a Great Forage Crop.

Every farmer in the counties of
Wilkinson. Amite, Pike, Marion,
Lamar, Forest. Perry, Greene,
Pearl River, Hancock, Harrison,
and jackson should plant some vel.
vet beans this year. This is un-
Hdoubtedly the greatest forage and
soiI-improving crop ever known for
the lower tiers Of counties Of Mis-
sissippi, It is of tropical origin
and seldom natures seed except
within rs to 100 miles of the Gulf
Coast. Anywhere within these
limits it is a wonderful producer,
even on the poorest sandy lands,
and will make vast amount Of
forage where even cowpeas will
hardly grow.
Any ordinary pine land is suited
to the velvet bean. 1t should be
planted as soon as the danger Of
frost is past, say from April 1st to
Goth. in 4 foot rows. two beans in
the hill every two feet. One or
two light CIVILIZATIONS will be all
that will be necessary Do not ex-
|pect to make hay Of this crop. The
vines are entirely too long and
heavy for handling as hay. and vel-
vet beans find their greatest use as
an upbuilder Of poor. thin soils and
as source Of highly nutritious
forage for hogs and cattle.
Plant few acres in velvet beans
and turn your stock On them in
October or November. You will
be surprised at the amount Of feed
they furnish. and your land will be
greatly enriched at the same time.
If ali the vines and roots Of an acre
of good velvet beans were turned
under the effect on the land would
be greater than that of ton Of
high-grade cotton seed meal. You
can get seed from any reliable seed.
house at from two to three dollars
per bushel. and a bushel will plant
twice the area us that a bushnl Of
cowpeas will plant.

The game was a good one and

Vardamans Business Ability.

In vicious attack on ex-Gov-
ernor Vardaman, the Jackson Daily
News argues that he is unfit to
represent Mississippi in the United
States Senate because be is not a
good business man.
In support Of its assertion. the
News introduces one of Governor
Vardaman's message to the Legis-
lature. The contingent fund ex-
penditures were not itemized in
this general message, and therefore
the News convicts Vardaman Of be-
ing unfit for the Senate.
What has business capacity
in the usual acceptation of the
term. got to do with the Senatorial
qualifications? Nothing in the
world. Some of the greatest of
statesmen. soldiers, Legislators and
lawyers have been utterly lacking
in ability to manage their own
private affairs.
don't know anything about
Governor Vardaman's business
capacity; but he must be awfully
deficient insthat line if he's worse
than L. @. G. Lamar was.
How much of a business man was
noble George Vest? Was Senator
George a conspicuously able man
Of affairs Was Zeb Vance a
money maker? Was the late ex-
President jefferson Davis, of Mis-
sissippi, a fine business manager? ?
How much of a business triumph
was Robert ]. Walker author of
the best tariff law this country
ever had? And Walker. too, was
one of Mississippi's most llIustrious
statesmen.
It is generally the case, that a
great lawyer. commander. legisla-
tor, ruler or writer is lacking in
what is called business ability.
The Duke of Marlborough was a
good man of business, but Yelling
ton was not. Grant was not. Lee
was not-nor Sheridan, Sherman.
StoneWall jackson, Longstreet,
Stuart, Pierce. Young or Beaure-
gard. General Joseph E. Johnston
had a very limited capacity for
business; and as to General Gordon.
everybody knows that Toombs
spoke the truth when he declared
that if Gordon were given million
dollars he would lose half of it in
counting it.
Neither Edmund Burke, the Earl
of Chatham, nor Chatham's son,
the Great Commander, could man
age their own private business.
Sir Walter Scott was failure as
a business man. So were Thomas
Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton,
James Madison, James Monroe and
the South's most consistent States
Right statesman, John Randolph
Neither Gladstone or DisraeIi had
any talent for private business
Mirabeau and Gambetta were with
out it. Curran and Grattan were
woefully deficient in that regard /;
and so were Brougham, Fox and
Sheridan. How much of a busi-
ness proposition was Daniel Web
ster? Or Henry Clay? Or Thomas
FL. Benton? Or Sergeant s..
Prentiss? Or Alexander H..
Stephens? Or Benjaman H. Hill?

the ridiculous, how much business
ability has John Sharp Williams?

various motifs Of the opera which
