PLAN FOR STACKING
COWPEA HAY GREEN
Barn Room Is Not Always Avail
able and Much Of Forage
Crop Is Lost.

It is SO very difficult to cure COW
pea hay in the shock or windrow,
and when cured it is 80 difficult TO
keep in q stack. that very little OF 1t
is nut up out OF doors. Barn room Is
not always at hand, therefore much
OF this valuable forage crop Ia lost or
indifferenuy cared for. BY following
a simple plan, however. this hay can
be cured and kept in stacks without
losing any shattered leaves or nav
ing II mold, according to II. F. Grin
stead In the Farm and Home.
Set pole in the ground where you
want a stack Throw a little brush
around the pole to begin stacking.
then stack the pea vines as room as
wilted around this pole, making the
stack not more than eight feet In
diameter. When you have reached
height OF four feet nail two strips
ak feet long to the pole at right
angles, then begin lacking on these
and when you have piled on another
four feet nail another pair OF the
strips Don't get on the stack, as
your weight would break through.
When you reach the top, cover with
a stack cover or grass hay. In day
or two the hay will settle, leaving
an air space under each OF the sup
ports so that air can circulate freely.
The hay will not mold and can be fed
from the stack. This plan is prac-
ticed successfully in the south. where
pea hay is a staple forage crop.

CBy r. l. wAsIBURNJ

(By y. L. WASHBURN.
Last year a great deal OF timothy
seed in the northern states was de-
stroyed by the species of army worm
known as the Wheat-Head worm.
The injury was most severe on high
sandy soil. In every case investigated,
however, II was found that the pest
had its origin in old timothy fields
that had been allowed 10 run four
years or more without being plowed.
After the timothy heads are eaten,
the worms turn their attention to
oats, wheat or corn; travelling In an
army from one field to another-hence
their name.
They appear TO be somewhat sub.
ject to the attacks of parasites; and
are undoubtedly. In common with
other caterpillers, devoured by pre-
daceous beetles, by birds, and die on
account OF fungous or bacterial dis
eases. Nevertheless, these factors
simply serve to keep them within
bounds, and It is absolutely necessary,
when a farmer is confronted with a
horde OF these worms stripping his
timothy field, and preparing to march
TO grain fields. to know what to do
and to realize that whatever is to be
done must be done without delay in
order to be effective.
Fall blowing and the rotation Of
crops. sovereign remedies for many
field-insects. are valuable here. II
farmers would pillow up their timothy
fields at least once in three years, II
would be help in connection with
this or any other insect which found
there an undisturbed breeding ground.

New Use for Pig Metal


 The White Way will soon be tea- ture of every city in this country Many cities have already installed the modern ornamental lamp posts. Blr- p,inoham has 16 blocks of White Way, and before a great while it will have 25 or 30 blocks of brilliant illumlna- ton. The white light adds so greatly to city's appearance at night ana causes so much favorable comment that no city or large town of any pre- tension can afford to be without It.
 The Birmingham White Way posts are manufactured by an Anniston foundry company from Birmingham pip iron. The same foundry has sup piled Anniston and is supplying other towns in the state with White Way equipment. Thus it is seen that a new use for pig iron has been found, and the best of it is the White Way demand will increase steadily.
 Only few years ago the Birming- ham district was thought to be doing well when it melted fourth of its blast furnace product. But the situa- tion is fast changing. Any southern iron center that ships pig metal north to be converted into the finished prod uct practically throws away money by not reaping the benefit of finished product profits.
 A large percentage of Birmingham iron is now converted into high form of steel products. Besides the steel industry the Birmingham district has large business in cast iron pipe; and then, too, the local manufacture of radiators is becoming important. But the various home demands for crude iron leaves still too much to be shipped away. It is estimated that within the next year or two the White Way demand, added to other large manufacturing activities, will use up very large tonnage. The Anniston concern manufacturing ornamental iron posts will be an active competi7 tor for the White Way posts. all over the United States, and will, it is req the business. And in this way an appreciably larger aggregate of prof its will be left in Alabama.

.RoBERT BRoWNINGv

Darrell Figgis, in the May number of the
 North American Review.
 Browning was no mere maker of men and women in the purely objective sense. He was not the creator of men in their thoughts loves, hates." content if he would present them living as Scott or Crabbe did. His creatures became eyes and ears to him wherewith to see and hear things more sharply and intensely than he himself could. They became as so many cloaks to him. clothed in whom he could enter at once through divers doors of the temple of truth. Through them all he could see the much more that would have escaped a single vision; and in them each he captured the intent ness that annulled the irresolution con sequent on confusion For example: is it the coming of Christianity into the world? How shall a man such as he a man with a strong bent for strange phi losophieal research, man instinct with classic culture, and a man, moreover, whose whole soul rose insurgent for a reVSldtlon OI lONe III world whose beinc, and whose laws made love a paradox otherwise inconceivable-how shall such a man state his attitude to that? His acceptance he did assert But how little that expressed him. What worlds re- mained untodi What said the philoso- pher there? How spoke the artist whose business it was to make beauty and who thereby took into his hands the cup of joy forever, stirring unquenchable thirsts in him? Not in his proper affirmation could he utter all that. But take the three poems that celebrate the dawn of Christianity into the worldl Ceon as Greek may reject the teaching of "a mere barbarian Jew,' yet it is clear that the teaching of the mere barbarian Jew brings him just the cool cup that his art has set him athirst for Karshish, the Arab physician, in An Epistle,'' and John, in "A Death in the Desert on one hand and the other show the impact of this new revelation on minds inclined to curious philosophical learning and full of quick personal aspiration.

"PORTRAIT OF A LADYn

By Gamaliel Bradford, Jr., in the May
 number of The North American Re-
 view
 Lady Holland left a Journal which Lord Ilchester has lately edited And few things can be more delightful than to turn from the picture painted of her by her friends(D to her intimate and faithful likeness of herself. The tart, even the boisterous tongue is indeed not concealed, as when she told a political friend that T regretted he had not lived in the Mid dle Ages and given his faith to orthodox points, as he would have made one of the firmest pillars of the church instead of being a milk-and politician now" But there are many other things besides tartness and boisterousness.
 Unfortunately the Journal stops before the great days of Holland House began.
 Just few sketches she has of the great men who afterward became so widely identified with her, enough to increase our ardent desire for more. Thus the follow ing of Wordsworth. interesting in every word for the artist and also for the poet. is somewhat astounding: .
 Sent an invitation to Wordsworth, one of the Lake poets, to come and dine, or visit us in the evening He came. He is much superior to his writings, and his conversation is even beyond his abilities I should almost fear he is disposed to apply his talents more toward making himself vigorous conversationalst, in the style of our friend Sharp, than to improve his style of composition. .. He holds some opinions on picturesque subjects with which I completely differ, especially as to the effect produced by white houses on the sides of the hills; to my taste they produce cheerful ef- feet He, on the contrary, would brown or even black work them he maintained his opinion with a considerable degree of ingenuity ssEas5 sg ! ktass
 With which compare the snub adminis- tered by Henry Taylor when she sneered at Wordsworths poetry:
 Let me beg you to believe, Lady Hol- land that this has not been the sort of thing to say about Wordsworth's poetry for the last ten years.p
 But the Journal is far less interesting for it's portraits of others than for that of the lady herself, who is seen there complete and human and not unlovely

Political Opinions

There is a difference of opinion among democrats to which would be the easier to beat in the general election, Taft or Roosevelt" said an old democrat.
 Most of my democratic friends have been saying that almost any democrat would beat President Taft, should Taft be the republican nominee, but Ishave never felt so. I think that either Under wood or Harmon would beat Mr. Taft, but the President would have the strong backing of the business interests of the country if any but very strong man headed the democratic ticket
 President Taft is not brilliant man. He makes lots of political blunders; nev- ertheless he would poll big vote in all the normally republican states If Under wood is our candidate, and I pray that he will be, we would certainly win the vic- tory in November If Roosevelt should be the republican candidate nearly every great newspaper in the country would be against him. He could not possibly carry New York; and it will be this year as it has been in years past, whoever carries New York Is elected. If there ever was d NuiilSi eDle HidH III ilSH pOlltlcS IfooSe- welt is that man. His nomination, of course, would mean much ginger. but there will be Q larger revolt from the republican party-more republicans voting the democratic ticket-than ever before in the history of American politics. The re- publican independents that voted for Cleveland in 1892 would be as nothing compared with the republican landslide away from Roosevelt"

stated that friends of MT. Roosevelt nave recalled how the Roosevelt administration was the most favorable to Catholics that ever existed. Catholic being called TOT the first time to be q member of the cap inet, " remarked well known cathohc layman. ''Mr. Roosevelt was exeeedlngly friendly to Catholics, but Mir. Bonaparte' who was his Attorney General, was not the first Catholic cabinet officer.
 President Mckinley had in his cabinet Joseph McI<enna of California, well known Catholic, and now an associate justice of the supreme court. All the presidents in my day-and I have been a voter for many years-haye treated Catholics well.
 MT. Cleveland made no .grandstand play but one of the most gracious acts of his first administration was a gift, ac- companied by warm hearted autograph letter to Pope Leo on the occasion Of some jubilee celebration. President CleVe- land happened not to have had any Cath ollie in his cabinet, but he appointed many Catholics to high office, and no President could have taken a stronger stand than he did when he appointed A. M Kelly, a distinguished Catholic layman and a brother of Bishop Kelly of Savannah, minister to Italy. MT. Kelly was persona non grata at the Quirinal. MT Cleveland then appointed him minister to the inn perial court at Vienna, but the prominent Catholic was persona non grata there be- cause his wife was a Jewess. But MT. Cleveland never dropped Kelly. He gave him a life position as judge of the in ternational court at Alexandria, Egypt.
 Cleveland, Mckinley, Roosevelt and Taft were all on the best of terms with Catholics"

The Ad Clubs Enterprise

There are many good ways of ad- vertising a growing city. An excep- tionally effective way to advertise Bir- mineham this month will be through the medium of the Ad Mems conven- tion to be held in Dallas, Tex, begin ming May IT. That convention will not only be numerically large, but in the great gathering will be many prominent newspaper men, and the brightest lad" men in America. Every city in the English speaking world will be represented, but no city perhaps will be represented by an abler, more enthusiastic delegation than Birming- ham.
 The local club is brim full of snap and talent, and it goes without saying that it will be recognized as poten tial factor in the Dallas convention. This club will travel in a special train. By the way, that was happy slogan which President John Sparrow origi- mated, Into Dallas Under Our Own Steam"
 Delegates from New York, Philadel- phia, Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis, -cincinnati. Louisville, New Orleans and many ether proIniperh critics will travel in private cars, but Birming- ham, it is believed, will be the only city sending club on a special
 Dallas is making great effort to entertain the ad men and their friends, and after spending three days in that city the visitors will be conducted on a thousand mile excursion, which will include all the large towns of Texas.
 All Birmingham men are invited to accompany the ad club. The invita- tion is open also to all the ladies. Many members of the club will be ac- companied by their wives.
 In order to charter special train the club must be responsible to the railroad for 75 fares. But it is hoped that instead of 75 there will be fully 150 Birmingham people in Dallas on May IT. Birmingham should send two or three train loads. It is an inexnen sive trip and the fact that the Bir- mingham club will roll into Dallas un- der it's town steam will of itself be splendid advertisement for this boom ing city.
