species Of rural villa. house of light
construction, usually of unbaked
brick with thatched roof. The bun.
galows which are the residences of
Europeans In India are of all styles
and sizes according to the taste and
wealth Of the owner. In its earlier
use by white men the wori bungalow
was taken to denote lightly con.
structed habitation, not exceeding one
story in height. and presumably de.
signed for temporary occupation. But
during the past few years the bunga-
lows have been built In both the

so arranged that the living room has

MARKET GARDENING IN SOUTH

Leading Industries.

The commercial cultivation Of yege-
tables at various points In the south.
ern states had become established be.
fore the war, but, like many other
kinds Of industry, was totally pros.
trated. 1t has now revived with much
capital and intelligent labor to make
1t the leading interest in those states,
says the American Agrlculturist.
Thus, owing to the wide diversity of
climate our country presents, and the
ready means Of transportation fur.
nished by water and steam, the sea.

In our larger states, greatly pro-
longed, II not doubled. Our large

misunderstanding with Bermuda
and Florida, then follow from Georgia,

Delaware, and finally New Jersey
sends in its products before the mar.
ket gardens In the northern states are
able to supply the demand.
The characteristic soil In these
southern market sections Is a sandy
loan, which natures its products
with great rapidity. Some Of these
regions are yet undeveloped, but DOS.
sess wonderful possibilities because of
the nature of the soil, the vegetable
matter in 1t, the satisfactory climate
and the rainfall. Then, too, chemical
manures are now available, so as to
make this line Of agricultural activity
certain and remunerative. The south
has entered into a wonderful posses.
sion. that Of supplying small fruits
and vegetables to the north, and az
the demands increase will be fully
able to meet them. But the south is
not competitor Of northern gardens.
because Its products come in at n
time when the products Of the north.
ern gardens are not yet ready. Thus
are not only the southern sections
benefited, but the northern consuming
public Is also. and all the time the de.
mand for the northern garden prod.

Cowpeas Valuable for Hay.

Good cowpea hay is fully as valu.
able a feed, pound for pound, as red
clover hay. and very nearly equal In
value to alfalfa or to wheat bran.
The principal value Of this hay lies in
Its high percentage Of digestlble pro.
tein, which is nearly four times that
Of timothy hay. One reason why COW.
peas are not more extensively used as
a hay crop is the difficulty often ex.
perienced In curing the large growth
Of succulent vines. Where proper
care is taken In curing. especially
where sorghum or similar plant Is
grown with 1t In mixture, It Is not a
difficult matter to make a good COW
pea hay unless the weather Is de-
cidedly unfavorable.

A Corner In Candles.

AS an example of trusts and monop-
olies prevalent even in that early day
1t may be mentioned that in 1850 one
Benjamin Crabb obtained the exclus-
I've right to make sperm candles in
Massachusetts for IA years.
A year later however, a factory was
started in Providence, r. l., and with
in tho decade there were eight fac
tories In New England and one in
Philadelphia. Their output greatly re-
duced the price Of candles, which not
long before sold for five shillings q
pound. In those days $1.25 was worth
fully three times as much as 1t Is now.

Cowpeas are a very profitable crop

The work of the church as carried
on through the Young Mems Christ
ian Association was the subject for
consideration last Sunday and prov
ed to be a very interesting meeting.
Secretary Anderson spoke of the re-
lauon of the association to the
church and gave some examples of
the religious work of the association,
and gave some interesting figures as
to the men and boys won into the
Christian life and placed IN the
church. Rev. O. a. Barbee spoke
of the work from a minister's view
point. He spoke very highly of the
work of the association in its efforts
to produce the all-round develop
ment of manhood, the physical, So
cial, mental and spiritual. Mr.. Gil
man spoke of the work of the Boy
Scout movement with especial en-
phasis on their three fold oath taken
when they become scouts.
On next Sunday the subject of
"The Agony IN Gethsemane" will
be presented at the meeting. We
are nearing the close IN the study of
the life of Christ, and it is hoped all
men and boys will avail themselves
of the opportunity to hear these last
few important events in His earthly
life discussed. Every man and boy
is invited. Three o'clock is the hour.
On Friday night the Eagles de-
feated the Buzzards II to 5 in bas-

The Farmer and Automobiles.

Manufacturer of automobiles as
sert that the farmer and the resident
of the smaller cities will be the larg-
est purchasers of motor cars from
now on. Attention has heretofore
been paid chiefly to the big cities,
but with the development of the in
dustry and the increase in interest
on the part of the communities away
from the big centers, chief place is
now being given TO them.
The farmer has learned that he
can use the auto to advantage and
that, like the telephone and rural
free delivery, it makes life on the
farm worth living. The profession
al man, contractor and suburban
dweller have all discovered that the
automobile enables them to have
more time for business and home,
and are therefore using it in greater
number.
The varied uses of the motor cal
will be displayed to advantage al
the Louisville Automobile Show,
which will be held at the First Reg
iment Armory March 1913. Inter
est in the show is general, aud the
attendance is expected to set new

be shown, and. everybody will b'
able to find the automobile exactly
