COwpeas are grown more widely IN
the cotton region than any other
leguminOus crop. They are fairly well
adapted to all types Of soil, when well
drained, and they make a good crop
for either hay or pasture. Cowpeas
are easily grown, and the seed Is rel
atively inexpensive. They may be used
to occupy the ground as a regular crop,
but are also well adapted as a catch
crop for pasturage or for green ma
nure. When well cultivated, they leave
the soil in good condition to harrow
without blowing for grain or other
crops.
There are many varieties Of cow
peas, which vary considerably In hab-
its of growth and time of ripening.
The WhippOorwill and the Croft are
vigorous. upright growers and there
fore well adapted for heavy yields OF
hay. Trailing varieties, like the Black,
the Red Ripper, or the Unknown, are
good for pasture and to leave on the
ground during the winter for soil en-
richment. Under each Of these three
names, however, various different va
rieties occur in the seed trade. The
Iron and the Brabham are noted for
their resistance to wilt and root knot.
diseases which frequently occur. and
they alone should be used where these
pests are prevalent.
Cowpeas may be sOwn in rows or
broadcast. The former method per-
mits of cultivation, requires less seed.
and usually gives better yields, while
the latter way requires less labor.
When sown in rows they should be
from three to four feet apart. and from
two to three pecks Of seed per acre
should be used. Sorghum or corn Is
sometimes sOwn with cowpeas to be
used for hay or silage. The cOwpeas
are held off the ground in this way,
and the stalks keep the cut cOwpeas
loose, so that air is admitted more
readily and the hay is easily cured.
Curing cOwpeas hay during rainy

The Miracle.

Miracles speak of modern mi
racles-can usually be explained" said
DIR. Elliott Young Savage in an ad-
dress before the Chicago Ethical Gull
ture society.
Bishop Blanc's son Is clergyman,
and assists his father. At dinner the
other evening the young man said:
"'On Broadway today an old beggar
woman asked me for money. said l
had none with me. She begged me to
look and see, so / felt in my trousers

two-dollar bill there. 1t was miracle.
l gave 1t to the old beggar woman, of
course. Yes, a real miracle!
1.-The bishop put on his glasses. He
stared long and attentively at his son.
Then he said:
"'Confound 1t! That's a pair of my
trousers you've got on there. boy"

surface. A convenient device some
times used for drying cowpea hay may
be made with strips or poles six feet
long joined at the top and held four
feet apart Mt the bottom by means Of
cross pieces. The vines are piled upon
this rack, which permits the air to cir
culate freely among the vines, thus
curing them quickly and satisfactorily
with little loss of leaves.
Soy Beans.
The soy bean is comparatively new
crop in this country, but one which has
fast gained favor in the South and
North alike. The soy bean withstands
dry weather well, and makes hay
similar in quality to that from cow
peas. 1t grows erect and holds its
leaves better than cowpeas, but has a
more fibrous stem. Soy beans produce
heavier seed yields than cOwpeas and
