CoWPEA GOOD AS EGG FOOD
Flock of Hens Nearly Doubled Prod
uct and Were Free From ALL
ment-Easy to Raise.

Cowpeas are not only relished by
hens, but are excellent egg food for
them. One successful poultryman
gives this experience: The peas, aft
er maturing, were harvested and
stored in dry lofts, and thrown to the
fowls in scratching pens, where they
were scratched over and searched for
during the day
After few days the egg supply
was visibly increased, and within a
few weeks almost doubled that from
an equal number of hens kept In sepa-
rate quarters and fed on other grains.
The hens seemed to like he small
branches and leaves, and would eat
every particle except the hard. stifi
stems.
The general health of the flock was
excellent, and not single hen
showed the least symptom OF ailment
during the winter season. Consider
ing the ease with which cowpeas
may be raised, it seems that every
one should give them test as food
for the poultry.

fallen.
Soy bean straw, If the crop is cut
before the leaves fall, is fully as valu-
able for feeding as timothy hay for
cattle, and is eaten by stock with
much relish. Even when the harvest
ing is delayed until all the leaves have
fallen, stock will eat the straw read

Mixed with straw, soy beans are ex-
cellent for ensilage. The two crops
may be grown together. but 1t is
usually better practice to plant in
separate fields and mix when putting
into q silo.
1t is necessary to give the soil thor

seed or seed which has been tested
for termination should be planted.

and preferably in rows 80 or better,

can be used on,y with the tall vari-
etids. The thrcshing can be dono with
a grain separator by using blank
concaves and running the cylinder
much slower than for small grains. or
by the use of machines specially de-
signed for handling soy beans and
COW peas.
Soy beans and COW peas can be
grown together satisfactorily: the hay
of such mixture is better than either
crop alone and the yield is generally
greater. In planting the two together
the seed should not be covered too
deeply, as deep planting will result in
poor stand of soy beans.
AS q crop in a short rotation soy
beans are very desirable. They can be
grown SO as to use an entire season
in the case of late varieties. or two
crops in one season con be secured
from some of the earlier ones. They
can also be used very advantageously
to follow small-grain crop the same
season.
The important commercial varieties
are the Mammoth. the Hollybrook and
the lilo San. Among the most valuable
new varieties are the Austin, the Will
son. the Riceland, the Meyer and the
Haberlandt.

other leguminous plants, has the

isms growing on its roots. of obtain.
ing from the air much of the nitrogen
necessary for its growth. Many of our
so-called run OUT soils which have
been seriously exhausted by the con-
tinuous growing of grains and other
nitrogen-using crops may be restored
to fertility by the use of leguminous
plants, such as the vetches, clovers,
cow peas and soy beans.
The value of crop as soil restor
er depends upon the amount of avail
able plant food which it adds to the
soil and the physical condition in
which it leaves the land AS these
leguminous plants can gather from
the air only certain portion of the
nitrogen necessary for their growth,
and none of the potash or phosphoric
acid. applications of these latter ele-
ments should be made to the soil in
order that the best results may be OBJ
tanned from the growth of these crops.

,uH0RE caMPHoR LANGUAGE

! The strangest of language is the
'camphor language of Johore on the
Malay Peninsula. 1t has been studied
and reported by an Englishman in the
service of the government of Johore.
This language is used by the ma
tlves and others engaged in gathering
the product Of the Malayan camphor-
tree and is employed only at such
times 1t is the belief of the natives
that II they used either of the Ian
guages OF the region. the Malay or
the aboriginal Jakun, no camphor
would be obtained. most curious
reason underlies this belief.
The camphor-tree grows abundantly
In certain parts OF the peninsula. but
only occasionally contains camphor
crystals. The camphor is not the
same as that obtained from the
camph0r laurel OF Formosa and
japan. which Is the source of the or
binary camphor of commerce. 1t is
OF sort highly priced by the Chinese
In the embalming of their dead. In
incense, and in medicine. and tho gum
brings price much higher than that
OF the common camphor.
| The Malayans and other Johdce ma
tives believe that each species CT tree
has spirit of divinity that prisides
over its affairs. The spirit OF the
camphor-tree is known by the name
of Bisan-literally "a woman" Her
resting place is near the trees; and
when at night peculiar noise is
heard in the woods. resembling that
of cicada, the Bisan is believed to
be singing and camphor will surely be
found in the neighborhood
But the spirit of the camphor-trees
seems to be jealous of the precious
gum and must be propitiated, and If
she knows that hunters are in quest
of 1t she will endeavor to turn their
steps aside. The natives think that
| she is acquainted with both the Malay
and Jakun languages. and TINT if the
camphor-hunters spoke either of
those she would know that they had
come for camphor and would defeat
their purpose. So it is necessary to
| speak in tongue that she does not
understand. For this purpose the
"camphor language" has been invent
| ed. 1t consists of a mixture of Jakun
and Malay words, but these are curl
ously altered or reversed; and the ma
tives believe that the divinity of the
camphor-tree is completely confused
when she hears this jargon.
The Jakuns who hunt the camphor
are one of the widest OF peoples. but
are inoffensive. They live together
with monkeys. dogs. cats. innumera-
BILE fowls, and perhaps tame horn
bill in perfect harmony under movable
leaf shelters built on poles in the
woods.

STREET FULL OF HAREMS

Harem street, in Constantinople,
leads from ST. Sofia to the Bosphorus.
Every building in the street is
harem home. In the bay windows In
the fronts of all the houses the
women of the harems are accustom-
ed to stand and watch the passen-
gers through the thoroughfare- In
quisitive persons in the street may
not return the chances of the women,
for the windows are fitted with lat
ticed screens which make it impos-
sible to look into the rooms from
the outside, although it is perfectly
easy to see out from the rooms.
The entire street is devoid of wa
ter plugs, fire hydrants, lamp posts
and mail boxes. A blaze once start
ed in Harem street would likely wipe
out the quarter Pariah dogs for
merly infested this street, as they do
many others in Constantinople, but
during the regime of the Young
Turks they have been driven away.

Tenn, in a letter to the Farm Home
gives the following reasons for his
preference for the Berkshire breed Of
swine. Il prefer the Berkshire hog 70

1. Because the Berkshire sows are
the most prolific of any breed of hogs
In the world. and when / say prolific"
do not only mean that they farrow a
greater number of pigs, but that they
raise greater number. In other
words the sows are the best mothers

any other hog. They have great
vitality. and can resist extensive heat
and cold better.

proftably fattened at any age and
grow larger and quicker than any
other breed, to any desired weight.

One of the sights of Constantine

with the joints concealed by bronze
laurel wreaths on a base of white
marble and topped by a statue OF
Constantine, really an Apollo with
a new head. crowned with rays and
bearing a spear and the globe of EN-
pire. 1t was popularity believed that
the Palladium of Rome and part OF
the true cross were built up in the
base. The column has suffered many
vicissitudes, and now presents a ter
ribly wrecked appearance. The Con-
stantinopoIitans call 1t the hoped

allusion to its appearance and dis
asters. Legends. of course. clustered
about it, and many surerstitious be-
