Indiana Crop Summary.
Generally speaking. the first of
May found the wheat and rye crops
in a much better condition than a
month previous. In all sections of
the state, except the extreme north
east corner, these crops have shown
wonderful improvement. While the
stand is not all that could be desired.
the plant has an exceptionally
healthy and vigorous appearance,
and a general feeling of encourage
ment is manifest. There Will not be
as much of the wheat acreage seed
ed TO other crops as was earlier an
ticipated, and many fields of rye
that were originally intended for fer
tilizer crops will be allowed 10 stand.

COWPEAS PROVEN
N0UR|SH|NC FOOD
Are Many Varieties But White
and Black Eye Sorts Are
Best for Table.

Cowpeas or southern field peas,
which, despite their name, are really
a kind of bean, are, like other dry
beans, comparable with meat in the
kind of nourishment contained in
them. and can, in the opinion of
specialists of the u. S. department
of agriculture, we'll be used more
extensively as human food. They
are commonly used in the south,
where they are extensively grown,
but are practically unknown in the
north and northwest, where other,
often more expensive, beans are con-
sumed in large quantities.
There are many varieties Of cow
peas, of which the white and black
eye sorts are considered particularly
desirable for the table. In palatabil-
ity, digestibility and nutritive value
they compare favorably with other
beans, while their delicate and pleas
ing flavor lead many to consider
them equal, if not superior, to the
latter.
Cowpeas are used on the table in
three forms-in the pod, shelled
green, and shelled dry-correspond-
ing, respectively. to string beans,
shelled green beans, and dried
beans, and calling for much the
same methods Of preparation for the
table The dry cowpeas are by far
the most common. Like dry navy
or Lima beans. cowpeas may be
boiled with a bit of fat meat or
baked and served in place of lean
meat or other food rich in nitrogen.
Boiled and mashed through a col
ander, the beans form a foundation
for numerous dishes. They may be
creamed with milk and butter, like
mashed potatoes; formed into GRO
QUOTES with bread crumbs and fried
or baked; made into a loaf with
bread crumbs, minced vegetables.
milk, and seasonings; or made into
soup
A delicious combination dish, call
ed Hopping John" may be made
as follows: Boil one quart OF cow
peas and a scant pint Of rice separ-
ately and mix together when done
The rice should be seasoned after IL
is cooked. Bacon or beef bone
boiled with the cowpeas adds a de-
sirable flavor TO the dish. Recipes
for other cowpea dishes follow:

strong enough to follow their
mother they may be allowed TO
range. Hens call their brood. but
geese DO not. Consequently, "A
mother goose should not be allowed
free range too soon.
Fattening Geese For Market.
When geese are about six months
old they are ready for fattening.
They should first be put in an out
side Enclosure and fed on boiled
corn for three or four days. The
corn is boiled about half an hour,
or until it is soft to the fingers
when squeezed. The geese must be
accustomed to confinement grad
ually and prepared for their regu-
lar diet during the fattening pro-
cess.
When ready for fattening the
geese are fed on boiled corn four
times every "a hours by a examining
machine. This process is carried on
regularly for about four weeks,
when they are ready for killing. If
the examining process is not prac-
ticed the geese should be fed a week
or two longer.
The effect OF this forced feeding is
to cause the liver to grow to an alb
normal size, while the flesh becomes
soft. tender and white. The forced
growth of the liver by this plan
creates a better flavor and renders
it much more tender than the liver
taken from a goose which has not
been specially fed. White geese are
preferred because they fatten more
readily than others Goose livers
enlarged by this method Of feeding
usually weigh from u TO 50 ounces.
Some Profitable Varieties.
No variety Of geese is more popu-
lar than the Toulouse. They are
large. grow rapidly, ana of good
table quality They are good layers
and are not so likely to sit as some
other breeds. Their color is gray
but nearly white underneath. The
standard weights for a young goose
and gander are 10 and % pounds;
for adults 20 TO % pounds, respec-
lively.
Another popular variety OF geese
is the Embden, which is pure white.
The goslings are yellow when
Matched, but change 10 white as they
feather. Embdens are smaller than
the Toulouse, begin TO lay earlier.
Law larger eggs, but not so many of
them. are better sitters. and make
good mothers. The white feathers
are more valuable than the colored
ones. The standard weights for
n young goose and gander are 16
and IS pounds; for adults IS and 20
pounds.
The African variety is also con-
sidered profitable. They resemble
the Toulouse in color and the Emb-
dens in weight. The bill is black in
the African whereas in the TOu-
louise it is pale orange. The African
geese grow rapidly, are excellent
layers. and make good mothers.

The state building commission,
which has in hand the supervision of
the expenditure of the three million
dollars the next five years for perma-
nent improvement at the various

right before definite and fixed plans

about in search of the best general
plan upon which to proceed.
There is an especially knotty prob
lem as to the building for the state

system of buildings. Indications are
that the outcome Of the investiga-

Governor Beckett smashed the par

tailed survey of convicts in the state
prison, he pardoned eleven men, ten
Of them serving varying terms for
murder and one of them at life term
er. The pardons were granted on. his
own initiative, without petition Or
cit simply carried out conviction he
has felt deeply since his administra-
ton began, that the pardoning power
should not be exercised solely for
the men in prison who have money,
friends or influence, without to urge
their way to freedom.
"Soon after I came into Office" ex-
planned Governor Beckett, 81 was con-
WINGED that there were men and wom-
en- in the state prison who ought not
to be there; that their relatives and
friends, if they had any, had complete
ly forgotten them, and, being without
money and without influence, they
were kept in prison simply because no
human being had any interest in their
release. AS a result Of this convic-
ton, some weeks ago I directed the
prison authorities to make a complete
survey Of the prison, showing the fol-
lowing facts in regard to each and
every prisoner, to-wit: The crime for
which he was committed, the term Of
his sentence, the time he has served,
his behavior while prisoner, his age
and his physical condition. A partial
report has been made and upon that
report I am today granting pardons
absolute or conditional. I am abso-
lutely convinced that the further con-
f1nement of these men is not required
for their own good nor for the protec-
ton of the public"
Omitting the sentence OF the life
termer as uncertain, the ten others
pardoned had been sentenced to an ag
gregate of 224 years. Sven of the
eleven were negroes and four were
white men. OF the lot, Prince Jerni-
gan of Hartford county is probably the
most unique figure. Prince was con-
victed of murder in 1897 and sentenc-
ed to thirty years. He has 1,193 days
to credit for good behavior and his age
is uncertain, being variously estimat-
ed at from so to 80 years. The super
visor stated to Governor Beckett that
he would trust him anywhere.
