A CENTURY OF PEACE.

One hundred years OF peace between
Old England's land and ours
Both sceptred monarchs sceptred queen
With their imperial powers.
Have looked with more OF pride than hate
Across the deep blue seas.
And watched the growth Of each fair state
once her fair colonies.
Two peoples speaking the same tongue,
And hands in friendly clasp.
A mighty empire. nation young
worlds peace in their grasp
An empire kingdom. greater far
Than all the past has shown;
A country led by freedoms star
Greatest Republic known
Both leading in the grand advance
That marks this brilliant age.
Disused between them sword and lance
As peace fair heritage.
Columbia and Albon's shores
Re-echo harmony
That high DER ocean pillows scars
And spans the sunlit sea.
Combined, a mighty force for good,
They hold a lofty place
In foremost rank Of brotherhood
The Anglo-Saxon race.
One hundred years unbroken by
clash of arms or war
Doubt. settled by diplomacy.
with naught sweet peace TO mar.

SHROPSHIRE SHEEP
ON A LITTLE FARM

The question often arises as to which
proves itself the more profitable to the
breeder and feeder of sheep-a big,
heavy sheep or a small but better
quality one, says the Rural New York
err There is great tendency among
farmers nowadays in all districts where
soil and climate are suitable to cult
vate a big sheep, their contention be-
Ing that when the two-year-olds come
into the market the bigger and heavier
ones realize more than smaller ones.
That is quite true, and there is a
good deal to be said on the side of
big sheep, but when all the pros and
cons are carefully taken into consider
alton it Is a great question If a smaller,
better quality sheep will not prove far
more profitable to the breeder in the
long run. Let US, for instance, take
the oxford and Hampshire cross as
type of big sheep, it being a favorite
cross, and the Shropshire as an exam
pie Of a smaller and, it may be said
with all due respect to the befOremen-
toned cross, better quality sheep.
1t is well known that big sheep are
big consumers and consequently cam
not be so thick on the land as small
sheep can, and. for instance, where 100
breeding ewes of the OXford-Hamp

shire type can be kept, 40 Shropshires
could be run on the same given quail
ity of land Then, too, the Shropshire
is more prolific than any other short
wooded breed, and, whereas one and
one-fourth lambs per eve are consider
ed quite a satisfactory average in the
Oxford or Hampshire fiocks or the cross
between the two above named, one and
one-fourth are quite common and one
and one-half the usual average in
Shropshire 6ocks.
Again, when the time comes for the
lambs to go on grain there is no COM
parison between the amount that an
Oxford Hampshire will consume as
against the Shropshire. One and one
half pounds of grain per day are about
the average quantity given to the first
mentioned sheep, whereas half that al
lowance is ample and all that is gen.
orally allowed to Shropshire.
Also Shropshire will clip as great
a weight of wool as any other short
wooded breed and generally realizes
more, and when draft ewes come to be
sold in the autumn those of the Shrop-
shire or more compact type are far bet
ter to sell, as appearance often goes
against the sale of a big. unshapely old
eve. The mutton also Is of better
quality and makes more per pound In
the market than any save the South
down. OF course with the long wool
varieties their chief merit lies in their
wool. AS mutton sheep they do not ex-
eel and the argument does not apply

AMERICAN SCHOLARSHIP.

ceived grave damage from its
most inveterate enemy, which Is
early specialization. The stu

canoe of the Stuart dynasty will

merous maps and plans for the
purpose of establishing by what

Whitehall to the scaffold. The
notion that this sort of inforpna-
ton IS important at any stage in
students career is an illusion
well worthy Of the study Of the
academic pathologist. The as
sumption that such information
can take the place Of a real grasp
upon ideas. tendencies and move
ments of opinion is hardly worth
discussing. The American col
lege must be brought back on to
a frmer basis than this if it Is
to survive and If it Is to be worth
working for. 1t IS probably not
possible to ascertain what pro-
portion of American students go
to college for social purposes

specific vocational end in view
and what proportion go for the
purpose of becoming literally ed

THE VELVET BEAN
AND WHAT OF It.

C. B. Waller, Athol, KY, writes us
as follows: Can you give me some
information on the velvet bean-that
is. will it mature in this locality, how
should 1t be planted, and what fertil
izer will give best results"
The velvet bean is trailing legume
the vines rowing from ten to fifty
feet long. It's great value as green
manuring end forage plant has been
discovered within the last two years
Experiments at the Alabama, Florida,
Louisiana and Mississippi experiment
stations show that for the lower half Of
the Gulf States, the velvet bean Is
equal in value to the cowpea and for
some purpose is much better. North
of latitude 80 degrees, the seed will
seldom mature.
The experience thus far obtained
with this crop would indicate that the
best method of growing velvet beans
is to plant them in every third row OF
the corn field. Skip every third row
when planting the corn early in March.
The corn must be planted early enough
so that the beans may be planted suf'
ficiently early to mature seed and at
the same time not interfere with the
cultivation of the corn.
Plant two or three beans IN hills
about three feet apart on the skipped
rows about April 10. The vines will
not interfere with the cultivation OF
the corn until it is time to give 1t the
last working.
The rows on which the velvet beans
are planted should be fortified with
about 100 pounds per acre Of mixture
of 1900 pounds of acid phosphate and
500 pounds Of kainit.
It is seldom advisable to save the
vines for hay. It is a grazing crop.
The beans are often harvested and FED
to stock, but it generally pays better
to allow all kinds of stock to Craze on
the beans and vines. Turn the stock
in after the first heavy frost in the
fall.
The result obtained at the Alabama.
Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi sta
lions show the great value of velvet
beans as a green manure. Even where
the seed will not mature, no better
leguminous crop can be grown to in
crease the humus and nitrogen in the
soil.
