Maybe This Was the
Purpose Of the Peace
Note to the Warriors

ndLler OF ptdSt
Is the purpose of the note explained IN
dispatches from New York reporting an
interview had with Colonel Roosevelt?
The Colonel attacked the note, We
might say, as was to be expected.
FOG of obscurity," snapped the Col
oneI.
PROFOUNDLY mischieyous Numbered
the Colonel
~wickedly false" snarled the Colonel.
"Preposterous ahsurditz.@ Kissed the
Colonel
Oh yes AS to the purpose Of the note
having been disclosed, possibly in the
activity of the Colonel.
We use "activity" here in the sense II
is applied to volcanoes.
It is not a happy application, PERHAPS
in view of the fact that volcanic activity
takes place, according to concensus OF
opinion on the part Of our best geoio-
gists. where the earth's crust is the thin
nest.
The idea Of thin crust in any study
of the Colonel becomes at once lrrele-
want. incompetent and immateria
Not so, however, the purpose Of the
volcano, according to the concensus OF
theory on the part of these same geolo-
gists.
1t is maintained, for instance, that If
at the time of the San Francisco earth
quake, volcano somewhere had not for
gotten to get active and to erupt, there
would have been no earthquake.
Just how this volcano happened TO get
plugged up is neither here nor there. Of
course. but the case may have been sim
liar to that of our kitchen sink the last
time we called the plumber, and found
that the washwoman had emptied the
starch water into it.
Gases forming within the earth have
TO be discharged somewhere, and the idea
seems to be that it might as well be

preston at the summit Of the volcano

 Great number of artillery bat +erics were trained on the German positions, and the cannonading was tcrrific n it's destructiveness. When the Frerch forces were ready to make their attack, the huge guns ceased to hurl their hail of steel 9 aaiust the enemy and the offeus- i've was rushed forward.

very best hog feed. Soy beans can be planted between hills of corn in the row and "hogged down after the corn is gathered, or before. lf you will feed the hogs on soy beans a few days before you turn them ID the corn field. there will be little damage done to the corn by pas turing the hogs in the corn field be- fore gathering the corn. They will like the soy beans better than corn, and let the corn alone until the beans are gone. They may break down an occasional stalk of corn. but if the soy beans are plentiful they will do but little damage to the corn.
 The velvet bean is one of the best soil improving crops for South ern farms. It is rich in nitrogen. They can be planted in rows with the corn at about the third blowing. After the corn natures and the blades dry up you can go ln the field and break and bend over the tops just above the ear. This will not hurt the corn, but gives a good support for the bean vines, and prevent them from breaking down the stalks. The beans should be planted about six feet apart in the row between the corn hills. The vines are very vigorous and make a heavy growth. h the fall the corn can be gathered early and then the stalks and vines be run over with a roller or drag, after which heavy disk harrow can be run over, which enable you to blow under the whole mass. This will add lots of vegeta- ole matter to the soil, and produce splendid results in the crop that follows the next year.
 Remember the COW pea, the soy bean and the velvet bean, and try some of each or all this year on your poorest land. They will be blessing to you next year.

Pages Weekly Letter.

Farm crops are now command ing good prices, alono with every thing else, and with reasonable in- dustry and frugality the farmers on the poorest lands can do fairly well and escape many of the hardships in life with which they have here tofore had to contend. This will naturally cause the most of the farmers to plant as extensively as they can of the money crops, with the consequent result that other crops and the land itself will be more or less neglected and run down. This will be a misfortune that will rise up and stare you in the face in the future. At no time is it more important to raise plenty of feed for all the stock and to farm the land so it will be improved. The humble COW pea is a great soil improver for the South. Last year the COW pea was not raised as ex- tensively as heretofore, and the supply of seed is low and the price high. The cow pea makes good hay, and nearly always brings a good price on the market. They should be planted in all the corn, and after wheat and oats. All the spots of poor land on the farm should be planted in COW peas, soy beans or velvet beans. Sow the COW peas broad cast and cut for hay. The hay is good and the crop helps the land. The soy beans makes a good hay crop and is bet ter for the land than peas. A soy bean crop is hard to save except for hay. The pods pop open when the beans ripen. and many are lost Eff the crop is picked, but the little 1 beans are hard and will remain on
 the ground until you can turn your hogs in to eat them after crop gathering time. They make the
