PLANT FOR SEED
AN ACRE OF COWPEAS,

For each mule you work, and for for
age two acres Tor each mule, plant an
much more AS you can in the corn.
Pasture after the corn is gathered then,
turn under stalks and vines to make
big crops next year.
Plant cowpeas for seed in corn at tho
last cultivation. Pick the seed Cut
and shock the corn, using the fodder
and pea vines in the place of hay.
Every tenant and every land owner
needs supply of cowpea seed OF his
own raising so that he can SOW a large
acreage every year without having to
think about the cost of seed. The
yield Of seed varies from to 30 bushels
an acre, With an average Of 70 u.
bushels.
Plant cowpcas on every acre from
which you harvest small grain, and
where the stand of cotton and corn is
poor. The larger part of the profit in
raising small grain comes from the
following with cowpeas Cut as much
OF the cowpeas as you need for hay and
turn the r,st under, The whole crop
turned under enriches the soil hree
times as much as the roots alone,
A good crop Of cowpeas con tains on
an acre nitrogen worth $500 to $50. 90;
potash, $500, and phospboric acid 81. 90.
The roots go down over three feet and
make the land mellow cheaper th an can
be done with pillow and harrow. At tho
Alabama Experiment Station cowpeas
turned under made an increase the first
year OF 69G pounds seed cotton an aero.
Their effect IN increasing the yield usu-
ally shows three to four years.
AT the Tennessee Experiment Station
two pounds of uowpea hay were equal
to one pound cottUnseed meal for beef
production; three pounds cowpea hay
equal to one pound cottonseed moal for
producing milk.

PROLOGUE.

Did you ever. hear of a success
ful combination, Of love and bust
ness2 Probably not. Well, here
Is the opportunity to learn Just
how it can be done. The greatest
force in moder,, commercial life
has undoubtedly been shown to be
effective advertising, and in this
interesting narrative you will see
how this fact comes into oPer-
alton. Based on one of the most
popular plays of the year, this
story will be read with interest by
the business man, the ambitions
youth and the trusttul young girl
who looks at life with more or
less of perplexify. It is a story
that reveals how the spirit OF
hope opercones the deepest de-
SPAR, even when the outlook IS
most disheartening. Hcon,bines
the practical with the sentimental
affairs Of business and home life
and at the same time running
through it is a vein of hunnor ir-
resistible in its appeal. The
characters are true to life, and
the net result of their activities
is that you should never. acknowl-
edge defeat while you have a
breath to breathe.

CHAPTER !.
A Rich Mans Son.

~ LID CYRUS MARTIN, the soap
king, sat In his library in no
very contented frame Of mind.
There was q thorn in his flesh,
and he began to feel it more and more.
1t was not an agreeable sensation, a
thorn in the flesh, for soap king
whose cuticle was not accustomed to It.
He traced it more or less vaguely to
his meeting that morning with his old
friend and rival In the soap business,
John Clark. They had fallen in with
each other, as often happened, ut the
Directors club about lunch time and
had one of their half friendly. half hos
tile chats together. And to make
long story short, Martin had bet CLARK
$4,000 that his son, Rodney Martin,
would be making more money in
years time than Clark's son Ellery. As
neither boy had ever made a penny in
his life. unless betting on q football
game or winning a Jackpot could be
called making money, there was a fair
ly sporty flavor to the bargain.
The bits Of business lore and anec-
dotes of sagacity and trade that Clark
represented as coming from the preco-
.cious lips of the marvellous Ellery had
finally goaded old Martin into fury.
He at least knew that Rodney was a
nincompoop in business. If he was his
son: he had no Illusions about that.
But the comparisons had reached a
point finally beyond which he would
not let them proceed unchallenged, and
SO he had made his ridiculous wager
and must abide by it. The prospect of
turning over $4,000 to John Clark in
years time and admitting Rodney's In
competence to boot was devilish.
What was the matter with rich
mems sons anyway? thought Cyrus
Martin. Rodney's father had not spoil
ed him, his fathers conscience was
clear on that point at least. Perhaps
he had not spoiled him enough, his
mother used to think so. Perhaps his
mother, had she lived, with that nerv-
GUS way she had Of prodding people
on, would have been Of benefit when
mere sternness had failed.
The boy had spent more money in
college each year than the sum total
Of his fathers and mothers expenses
during the first childless years Of their
married life; not necessarily on fast
living, his father was reasonably sure
Of that, but for luxuries and gew-
gaws at which young men in the. old
days would have turned up their noses.
Rodney's father had not gone to col
lege himself, though his parents could
have sent him. He was not altogether
a self made man. His own father,
Rodney's grandfather, country bank
er In Connecticut, had left him the
heritage Of a modest fortune and
thrifty habits, and In the soap kings
mind now these seemed more to be
thankful for than half dozen college
professors and their snap courses. Yet
there was nothing particular the mat
ter with Rodney's Inheritance and en-
vironment, there was just something
lacking In the boy himself.
Compare Rodney, for instance, with
young Rufus Plodman, son of old Ell
hn Plodman OF the State Wire and
Iron works. Rufus was one Of the
Fliveliest young men In the business
world. married to nice wife and with

Novelized by Samuel Field
From the Successful Play by

family growing mp already. His
name was beginning to be mentioned
more and more. Then there was
Chauncey Brinkhurst, who took the
burden Of the Excelsior National bank
almost entirely of old Brinkhnrst's
shoulders, and good thing for the de-
positors too. There was even VIII j.
Robinson, Jr., Of the Pine Hill Dye
Works company, who had brought in
orders that set the concern on its feet,
there was good reason to believe, in
just the nick Of time. Compare all
these and good few others with bis
own young hopeful. and which name
got the best Of it?
The boy was attractive, too; his father
had always liked him. Perhaps that
was one of the chief troubles. Even as
little child he had never flown into
tempers or had hateful ways. His own
winning and noncombative disposition
had been the chief means, no doubt, Of
warding off the disciplines Of life. He
was amiable and good looking in an I'M
obtrusive way, and everybody liked
him. To look at him impartially you
would not have thought he lacked char
acter, unless you yielded too much to
your prejudice against slight lisp and
an otherwise somewhat fnicky way of
talking. He did not run into debt now,
nor overdraw his allowance. or at any
rate not very much; he had never done
so much, and in college he had got
fairly good marks, as nearly as his
father could make out, and had won his
degree of A. B. without too obvious diff
fculty. Didn't the precious sheepskin
surrounded by a veritable picture gal
lery of college glee clubs and elevens
and mines? Cyrus Martin had been
credibly informed that you could not
actually graduate from Harvard or Yale
or Princeton without some portion of
mentality. Where did it show itself In
Rodney? As boy he had had bis
flashes Of cleverness and wit; what
propensity had been revealed in them
Ransacking his memories, old Martin
could not remember what they were;
had they been merely the subjective
readings Of fond parents minds? Why
was Rodney SO different from old
Clark's boy Ellery?
Well, perhaps Clark was good deal
of buffer in this instance. Martin
must call the bluff and win out some
how in the matter Of this bet, or hii
life would not be worth living.
He rang the bell, sharply for Johnson
his butler, prepared to have pretty
sharp twinge ofssopt IL the SUMMONS
was not promptly Answered?
"Any one call this afternoon, John
son p he asked, when that silent footed
| dignitary appeared.
Johnson took a silver tray from the
table near the hall door and glanced
downward ut it stifly.
"The Countess de Beaurien," he said
impassively. 49,. ......,....
who's she? ?" asked Mr.. Martin.
II don't know, sir. She couldn't
speak word Of anything but French.
