In view of the inquiry now in prog

est to note that while in 1908 there
were $500 horse buses plying the
streets of the metropolis this number
has now been reduced to 100, and it is
expected that by the beginning of 1914
the horse bus will have finally van
ished. Richard Tilling, whose we'll

horse buses are now used as bunga-

the average original cost Of each was
500, they are now sold for about SIS

PLANTING C0WPEAS IN CORN
Besides Furnishing Considerable HUI
mus-Makina Material Crop Sup
plies Soil Nitrogen.

By A. ). LEGG. New York;
l often read Of sowing cowpeas In
corn at last working in order to help
keep up the fertility of the soil, and
perhaps make some feed to be CLEAN
ed after the corn comes on in
the fall.
This plan win likely do very well
for the southern farmers where they
have a long growing season, but for
farmer who has only season long
enough to mature the medium early
varieties of corn, the season Is too
short to grow cowpeas after the last
cultivation of the corn.
Hills Of cowpeas may be planted
between the corn hills at the same
time the corn Is planted, or soon aft
er where the corn is cultivated only
one way. The work may be done with
a hand corn planter.
One hill of cowpeas should be plant
ed midway between every two corn
hills. The peas will not injure the
corn, in fact ! am not sure that they
are not a benefit to the corn.
They will furnish a large growth.
and, besides furnishing considerable
humus-making material, they will fur
nish considerable nitrogen to the soil
The vines may run up the corn. but
II they do they just add value to the
slower as feeding material
They can be cut up with the corn
with but little extra trouble. Then
they will grow considerable seed peas
that can be hand-picked II it is de-
sirable to do so. The varieties that
l have grown successfully with corn
in this way are the New Era. the Iron
pea and the Whipperwill.
The Irsn pea is little late in ma
turing. Only few pods of my Iron
peas got ripe last year that were
planted about June first. The New
Era peas planted at the same time got
ripe in August
This plan my not prove practical
with many farmers, but we find 1t to
be quite an advantage to grow cow
peas with our corn In order to restore
fertility and humus to the soil-then
we can also secure our own seed from
the peas In the corn.

PRIZE SERMON WAS DONE FOR
Presence Of Policeman Took the At
tentlon Of the Congregation From
the Words Of the Pastor.

On a recent Sunday the pastor of
New York church preached a sermon
which he had hoped would be particu-
larry effective. Shortly after launching
upon his theme he found that the au-
dience, while not creating any real
disturbance, was by no means atten-
tive. All of his hearers kept turning
their heads every little while and
glancing furtively toward the rear of
the church. Finally the pastor cast a
penetrating glance of his own into
that vague region. He discerned a
policeman sitting in pew near the
door. Il knew Them he said, when
speaking of the incident afterward,
that the prize sermon was done for,
so far as its hold on my congregation
was concerned. The policeman had
their attention until the end of the
service. 1t is a curious fact that no
where does a policeman create such
sensation as in a church. He may go
into a theater, lecture room or a po-
litical meeting and nobody except the
obstreperously inclined pays any at
tention to him; but just let him step
inside a church, and he causes a real
commotion. l don't know why. Ger
tainly nobody expects to be arrested
during the service"

Destructive Man.

AN English scientist, STR Ray Ian
wester, says that civilized man is the
most active instrument Of destruction
that has ever appeared on earth; that
he has burned up forests. produced
deserts. polluted rivers. He says that
the most repulsive of the destructive
results of human expansion is the
poisoning of rivers and the conse-
quent extinction of fish and nearly ev.
cry other living thing that is in them
He predicts sterility to meadows and
hillsides drenched with nauseating
chemical manures from factories. The
New York Medical Record speaks In
like fashion and says that these words
of the British scientist should awake
an echo on this side Of the Atlantic
for in no country of the world have
the beauties of nature been so wan
tonly defaced as here, and in no land
have the rivers and lakes been so pol
luted to satisfy the greed of the indi
vidual. Added to this is the disaster
that will certainly come to the masses
for such fragrant disregard of the
health Of the people.

For Nerves.

A case of nerves" is like a bad
habit, easily acquired and hard to
get rid Of Nervousness affects the
digestion, dulls the eyes, giving a
strained look to the muscles of the
face, and, if allowed its course, will
even make the hair thin. So the wo-
man who wants to be beautiful must
keep an eye on the state of her
nerves.
The best cure for nervousness is
rest. Resting is an art known to few
women.
The only way a woman may re-
pose and relax the body and nerves
is by actual will power.
Carrots are prescribed by physi-
clans and beauty doctors alike as q
cure for nervous indigestion. You are
told to eat them three times a day
either cooked or raw.
Young onions or scullions are ex
cellent eaten with plenty of salt; also
lettuce with salt and plenty Of olive
oil, but no vinegar and red pepper.
Sleeplessness is the greatest men
ace that tired or overweight nerves
have for beauty and health.
Sleep may be induced by warm
milk; slipped slowly. or. If this is in
effective, by long draughts of COO
water and a cold bandage around the
brow.
