he isn't worth worrying over.

Cowpeas for Hay Production
J. p. S., Lorraine, Ga, writes:
Which do you consider the best
cowpeas to plant for hay? How
late may they be planted to ma
ture peas before frost?
The variety of cowpeas to select
for hay production depends on many
will mature in from 100 to $50 days.
The average will be found to be
about 100 days for the Whippoorwill,
Iron, Large Blackeye, Taylor and
Brabham. We consider these valu-
able for hay production in the order
named. The Iron and the Brabham
are resistant to the Nematodes and
hence should be planted on land
which is infested wit hthe wilt dis
ease.
Cowpeas may be planted as late as
June. Is and make good crop of
can possibly be planted as late as
July 1. 1t is better, however, to
plant the crop about June 1 when
practicable to do SO. There is plenty
Of time then for the peas to mature
properly for hay, and if seasonal con-
ditions are favorable after the first
cutting has been made there will be a
relatively good crop of grain develop
which can be harvested with advan-
tage, or at least grazed upon with
success by various classes of stock.
In growing peas for hay it is best
to plant them by themselves or, say
with a small amount Of millet seed.
We prefer to use about bushel and
peck of peas with a pecy, say of
millet seed. Planting in drills has
given us larger yields than have been
secured from broadcas sting the crop.

~ HARLOTTES child was born
in January on a cold, snowy
~ night. 1t had showed for two
days before. and the doctor
had been forced to abandon his horse
and buggy and to plough through
drifts to the farmhouse. He was not
| exactly pleased with the way things
were going. Charlotte seemed so
whether she lived or died. He had
purposely taken her with him to see
the baby in the house at the end of
the village, hoping that it would
awaken the mother instinct in her
own heart, and although Charlotte
had responded and had held the baby
in her arms, tenderly grooming over
it in way women have, he did not
look forward to the prospect Of her
own child with any happiness.
1t was this lack of fight in her
that the doctor dreaded to see. Mrs.
Graves was the pivot about which
the rest Of the house revolved on that
calm and unruffied, obeying the doc
tors orders without comment, keep
ing her head during every emergen-
cy. At 1 o'clock Anthony's son was
born, but Charlotte sank Immediately
into a feverish coma which fright
ened every one. 1t was then that
the doctor suggested sending for
Tony.
She's all right" he said to Abner
Better than 1 thought and the baby
is splendid, but she doesn't care
about pulling through, she won't
in her weakened condition there is
danger"
Abner thought deeply, as wrapped
in his big coat and muffler, his cap
pulled down over his ears, he tramp
ed into the village to wake up the
r-14 ,4rfi hi
telegram to his son-in-law. He did
not word the telegram carefully Ell
Their. and the message that went over
the wires was anything but hope
full. 1t was simple and to the point,
however.
Your son born tonight. Charlotte
"Abner Graves"
And as he tramped back to the
house to keep the dreary vigil until
morning would decide whether or
not Charlotte would pull through, he
wondered grimly just how much
manhood and sense of responsibility
Tony had.
In the city Tony had retired late.
He had gone to the club and had
dropped in afterward at a reception
where Edith had sparkled and scin-
tillated, putting the rest Of the wom-
en- in the shade with her brilliance
and wit.
"Afterward he had taken her home
in the Comstock Limousine with its
warmth of upholstery and covering
and it's tiny bouquet of dollhouse
flowers filling the small space with
fragrance. Up in the old farmhouse
in Massachusetts. Charlotte's life
was in danger, while Tony, entirely
ignorant of the state of affairs, sat
muffied in fur robes, and smiling into
the dark. bright eyes of another
woman, the woman his mother had
wanted him to marry.
you're quiet tonight, Tony" Edith
said lightly.
IT know it. I feel quiet, I feel as
If something important were about
to happen"
Edith looked at him curiously out
of the corner of her eyes. She, like
many other people, had wondered
curiously what had become of Char
lotte. Edith did not believe that
Charlotte was in California with her
mother; there was something more
in this than the Harrimans wanted
to admit. and Tony wasn't happy.
He had not been happy since Char
lotte had disappeared. and try as
she would. Edith could not fascinate
him as she once had.

After that everything would be easy,

But Tony had not forgotten Char

that she had left without a word, but
afterward when he had chance to

That was largely what had been in
his mind and because she had not
fulfilled his expectations, he had been
dissatisfied with her and had shown
his displeasure.
Many times he had wanted to write
to her, but his mother had been large

that high grade nitrate of soda can
