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 at 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 6eans-
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
hsayier Esd yields than cowpeas and

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrieulture.)
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 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 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
season Is difficult, and for this reason
planting should be done at such times
that the cowpeas will be ready to cut
during the dry weather which is COM
mon in September and October in most
parts of the South. The hay should
be cut when the pods begin to turn
yellow, but cutting may be deferred
till later In case of unfavorable wealth
er. The ordinary mower is the best
machine for cutting. When the vines
are thoroughly wilted they should be
turned with tedder or pitchfork and
may then remain for "a hours or so
before being raked into windows. The
hay should then be put into cocks and
remain there until it is sufficiently
cured for hauling to stack or barn.
When the weather is especially favor
able the curing may be done in the
windows, thereby saving the labor
of cooking. It 1t gets wet In the wind

"Never was there more absurd or
pernicious notion than that wine. ale

mother in order to keep up her
strength, or to increase the quantity,
and improve the properties of her milk.
So far from producing these effects,
such drinks, when taken In any guam

the health Of the stomach, and tend
to impair the quality and diminish the

her to her infant"

WINE MAKES pRuNkARDs.

Some years ago, as w. G. T. U.
organizer, had occasion to take a
freight train one Monday morning
across a beautiful stretch of the Sac
ramento valley to meet an appointment
for that evening. A freight train Is
not supposed to stop often, but the
only passenger trains being through
trains with inconvenient hours, this
freight became an accommodation train
and stopped with terrific jolts wherever
tagged. This occurred many times and
each time drunken man, perhaps two
or three, came aboard. Usually they
at once fell asleep in their seats and
with each jolt of the car were liable
to roll off. Asking the conductor for
an explanation l was told, "Oh, these

forth like a shuttle over the stage
roads, often with the same driver of
whom asked so many questions that
afterwards learned he assumed that
was widow looking for a home to
purchase. His business was largely ex-
press, taking produce to market and
bringing parcels from town. At every
stopping place the courtesy of q glass
of wine was offered. He sometimes ac-
cepted, extending the offer to his pas
sengers. In declining it I asked, as

peated my question, 'Is it Intoxicating

yesterday" and he pointed to the help
less figure of well-dressed young man
lying hatless in the gutter under the
broiling sun, adding, "They get drunk
slower on this native wine, and 1t takes
deal longer to get 'em sober. He
won't get to work for day or two"
On my last day with this driver he
volunteered some friendly advice.

chicken ranches that paid better than

he, ''for take their chickens and eggs

just as good, says the poultry sec

are so near like the fresh eggs
that it is hard to distinguish them
after they have been cooked.
Eggs may be preserved by storing
them in al solution of nine quarts
of water to one of commercial
water glass, or by immersing them
in solution of one pound of air
slaRed lime to five gallons of
water. They may be stored in

Without further attention. They may
be removed from the solution ais
