Pacchouii for Moth Prevention.


The fragrant dried roots of til
patchouli, reports Special Agent Gar
rard Harris, are held in great esteem
in Porto Rico, and it is the general be-
lief in the island that when placed
among clothing and in closets they are
a sure preventive of moths. IL the
earlier days OF the century the per
fume of patchouli was in great favor.
1t is believed that, IL the properties
of patchouli were more generally
known, there would be demand for
it in the United States in preference
to moth balls. 1t should have as much
vogue as lavender for putting between
sheets and placing among garments;
and X II were manufactured or
shredded into q finer substance and
sold in small bags, it would be de-
cided novelty that undoubtedly would
prove popular. Great quantities OF IL
grow wild in Porto Rico. and demand
for IL from the United States would
afford employment to many OF the poor
country people. In Porto Rico natives
bring the patchouli TO town and sell II
in small bundles that retail at two To
five cents.

any other part OF the United States.
There is no doubt, however, that the
crop can be fully as we'll utilized this
way in other western states in local
tiles which are near large sheep
ranges. When intended for pasture.
the field pea is sown alone or with but
little grain, as IL is not necessary IN
such cases that IL be supported b.
some more erect-growing crop. AMI
mails pasturing on field peas should be
confined to one portion OF the field by
means OF movable fences, or else a
herder should be employed for this
purpose. If sheep or hogs are allowed
to roam about over the entire field
they waste great deal OF the crop by
wandering around aimlessly as soon as
their hunger has been satisfied. The
animals should not be turned into the
field until the seed becomes hard.
Lambs will fatten on field-pea pasture
in from 20 to 90 days, and a good
crop will usually fatten from 10 to Is
lambs per acre. each animal gaining
about eight pounds month.

LOCATE BUILDINGS ON FARM
Often Pays to Move Some OF Houses
In Order to Secure q Moro Con-
venient Arrangement.

The location of the buildings on a
farm has great deal to do with the
time 1t takes to do the work. 1t will
often pay to move some of the build
ings in order to secure a more con-
venient arrangement w. c. Palmer
OF the North Dakota experiment sta
ton tells how this was done on one
farm with the following results: Un-
der the old plan it required walking
SO miles year just carrying in water.
Under the new plan the water was
piped into the house-no walking re-
quired. Bringing in the wood under
the old plan required walking % miles.
Under the new arrangement this was
reduced to so miles. The trips made
to the machine shed during the year
amounted to 81 1-3 miles; by the new
arrangement it was reduced to 11A
miles. BY the new arrangement the
years trips in feeding the hogs was
reduced 1929 miles and in caring for
the chickens three miles were saved.
The total saving for the year through
rearranging the farmstead was PIT 1-3
miles.
1t was found that the time used in
walking these 217 1-3 miles was worth
$36.74. 1t must be remembered that
1t was not only case of walking three
miles, but it was usually with some
thing to carry.

MIGHTY IN SINEWS OF WAR
Could Staoger Any Hostile
Combination.

If We accept Professor Atkinson q
estimate that the Civil war cost S.
100000, 900, and remember that the ma
tional wealth, including slaves, was
placed by the census at only $16.159,-
616.06S In 1860, and at only a little
more than $4,000. coo, 900 in depreciat-
ed currency even five years after the
war had ended, 1t is seen that the
struggle between the states cost be-
tween one-fourth and one-half of their
then existing wealth.
All calculations as to what wars
cost are subject to grievous and even
monumental errors, Albert w. Atwood
writes in the Saturday Evening Post.
But this much we know: The north
raised nearly $4,000, 100000 in loans
and the south raised $4,000, 900. 600
Call 1t $4,000, 100000 actually obtained
for war purposes by the two opposing
sections.
II the north and south in conflict
could spend s6,000,0O0, 900 on war half
a century ago, what could the united
country assemble for such a purpose
today, with ten times the wealth? This
country has a puny. negligible ma
tional debt. The European countries
were enormously-alm almost ruinously-
in debt before they began their war,
some of them with ten to fifteen times
as mucl debt per capita as the United
States. Yet they have already foated
s3O,00O,OO0,OOO of bonds, and the end
is nowhere in sight.
The total aggregate wealth of all
the belligerents is hardly more than
one-third greater than ours. If wealth
is any test this country could stag
ger almost any conceivable combina-
ton that might be formed against it.

more than three stalks and very often
green with a whitish bloom on the
surface. Each leaf bears usually two
or three pairs Of leaflets and is ter
minated by a slender, branched ten
drill. The hanging pods are about three
inches long, each containing five to
nine nearly round seeds.
The garden pea is cultivated pri-
marily as green vegetable, or as a
grain crop for human food; the field
pea is grown for hay or for grain to
feed to animals.
A cool growing season is essential
for the field pea. High temperatures
are much more injurious than frosts,
which are disastrous to the crop only
when they occur just at the period
when the pods are setting. These eli
matte requirements of the field pea
limit it's successful production as a
summer crop to the northern states
and Canada and to high attitudes in
the mountains OF our western states
It may, however, be grown with profit
as winter crop in the southern states

where the rainfall is fairly abundant
A 15-inch rainfall in western Canada
is sufficient to produce a good crop
while 20 inches of rain in Kansas, Ne

localities to harvest the crop by pas
turing with hogs or sheep. This is
done more largely In Colorado than In
