The enormous demand for Cow Peas
last year carried the price very high.
and as the crop is very short and the
acreage is rapidly extending, there
are many indications which point to
much higher prices as the sowing season
approaches.
oR-WILL-Cow PEAS.
The Whip-poor-wills are generally
preferred in the Central and Southern
States. They are bush form, early
maturing and especially desirable for
Peas.
| NEW ERA COW PEAS.
| New Era's are little earlier and
make more vine than the Whip poor
wills.
woNDERFULS, CLAYS AND MIXED
COW PEAS.
For Hay, the Wonderfuls or Mixed
Cow Peas are more productive, they
should always be planted with an oe-
casional grain Of Corn, Sorghum Seed,
Kafir Corn, ETC., which will prevent the
Vines from getting Damaged by coming
In contact with the ground.
BLACK COW PEAS.
Black Cow Peas are a little later in
maturing than Clsys, they make good
growth Of Vine, and are exceptionally
good for medium or poor land and will
stand almost any amount Of wet weather
without injury. We can supply Shin
ney Peas, Red Rippers, Blackeye Peas
and Sofa Beans.
Remember Bolgiano's Cow Peas are
unquestionably the best--if your local
n,a rabant will ouunlv von 18th
Bolgiano's COW peas-write us direct and
we will tell you where you can get
them:

GENTLY REBUkED.

As young lady attired in neat blue suit entered a Vliet street car, a man, his head buried in a newspaper, arose and offered his seat. With a curt nod, the young woman accepted, and as soon as she had composed her. self she became diligently interested in the contents of her shopping bag. In spite of his apparent abstraction, the man with the newspaper eyed her furtively for a moment. Then, speaking hurriedly, he said:
 q beg your pardon, what is it; what did you say?"
 The young woman lifted her eyes, and seeing that she was addressed, she answered, coolly:
 "I said nothing, sir"
 "Beg pardon, beg pardon" was the absent minded answer. "1 thought you said Thank you.' '"- Milwaukee Free Press.

Statement Made That Physicians Have Succeeded in Ersdicating
 Eeri-Berl.

Another great victory for the army medical officers has been scored in he Philippines in the eradication of heri-beri During the first five months of the present year there was but one case of this disease among the Philippine scouts. It is.now con sidered practically nonexistent among native soldiers. There were but five admissions to hospitals dur ing the year jus, past as compared with S39 in 1909 and 1S9 in 1910. The Filipino ration is the same as that used in 1908 and 1909, with the exception that unpublished rice has been used and the amount limited to l6 ounces. It is considered that this s the key to the situation and that mother year will entirely wipe up

ACID FOR INksTAINs.

A woman had the misfortune oi dropping penful of ink on he' desk, and not discovering it until it had penetrated into the wood.
 She thought of using the inl- eradicator, but feared to harm the wood by using it, but at last through some good fortune she struck on the idea of making a solution of a few drops of nitric acid in a teaspoonftil of water. She took a feather and touched the spots, quickly wiping off with a wet cloth. This was re- peated till all the ink stain disap- peared. She then frightened the spot with bit of furniture oil, and no one would ever be able to tell that an ink splotch had been on that desk top.
 This idea can be put to good use on no matter what kind of vanished wood the ink stain might be.

How Alexander M. rsDockery's Little Plan to Evade Borrowing Friend
 Fell Through.

Alexander M. Cookery, former governor of Missouri, was at one time a member of the house of rep resentatives, and, while filling the job, made the acquaintance of a needy young man who formed the habit of borrowing too much money. DoclIery got tired of being touched" every few days and decided to put @ stop to it.
 One day he was called out of the house chamber by the borrowing friend.
 Say, Dockery," came the usual request, "can you lend me twenty ?"
 Cookery looked grieved and cast down, felt in all his pockets and nearly succeeded in squeezing out tear from his left eye.
 "I haven't got a cent" he said in sepulchral tone. .,...
 At mat moment he spled page boy coming down the corridor-a boy who, he knew, was always hard up. The legislator saw way of making an effective escape.
 "I don't even know where ] could borrow the money for you, Ben," he concluded. Turning quickly, he called the page. 'fRay, my boy" he said kindly, ''have you twenty dol lars with you?"
 The boy put his hand into a pock- ct, Dockery took few steps toward the door and the would-be borrower began to mourn. tr
 "Yes, sir" said the lad. "Here it is."-The Popular Magazine.
