C0WPEAS ARE REALLY BEANS
Practically Unknown in North, They
Make Very Nourishing Food, Say
Government Experts.

Cowpeas or Southern field peas,
which, despite their name, are really
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 spe-
cialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, well 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 consumed in large
quantities.
There are many varieties of cow
peas, of which the white and black-eye
sorts are considered particularly de-
sirable for the table. In palatability,
digestibility and nutritive value they
compare favOrably with other beans,
while their delicate and pleasant flavor
leads 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-corresponding, re-
! spectively, to string beans, shelled
green beans and dried beans, and call
| ing 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, COW
peas may be boiled with bit of fat
meat or baked and served in place OF
lean meat or other food rich in nitro
gen. Boiled and mashed through :
I,colander, the beans form a foundation
for numerous dishes. They may BE-
creamed with milk and butter, lik,
mashed potatoes; formed into Gro
quotes with bread crumbs and friet
or baked: made into loaf with breat
crumbs, minced vegetables, milk ant
| seasonings; or made into soup.
A delicious combination dish, callet
Hopping john, may be made as fol
lows: Boil one quart of cowpeas ant
scant pint of rice separately and mi,
together when done. The rice shOul
be seasoned after it is cooked. BacO
or {. beef bone boiled with the cOWpea
adds 4 desirable flavor to the dish.

Dartmoor Prisons
To Become Barracks
Conscientious Directors Will
Till Soil on Prince of
Wales Estate

fCo-resp0udence Of Tbs Associated Press)
Plymouth, England, March 5.-The
famous Dartmoor prisons at Prince
town. on the Prince of WGles's Duchy
estate. are to be emptied Of their con
Wet inhabitants and turned over to the
War Department as barracks for reg
iment OF conscientious directors. who
will be employed on some ambitious
agricultural schemes which the Prince
Of Wales is to institute on his prop
erty.
Dartmoor prisons are of peculiar IN
terest TO Americans. for they were
built to accommodate American war
prisoners captured in the War of 1872,
a well as a few French prisoners from
the Napoleonic campaigns. The Amer
lean prisoners, chiefly sailors captured
at sea. were landed at Plymouth and
informed at Princetown until the end OF
the war.
Twice in their history as war es-
adjustment the Dartmoor prisons were
tho scene of serious mutinies, one by
the French and the other by the Amer
;can prisoners. Both were due 10 com
plaints about the bread rations issued
20 the prisoners, and in the more Sc"
rious outbreak by the Americans seven
of the mutineers were shot down ana
a great many more wounded.
No reopening Of the prisons as a
nlace of criminal detention is contem-
plated as the isolation and climatic
conditions are not considered favor
