The Hagerstown Globe savs
that George T. Leiter read with
much interest tho article about
George Tritlo, who never shaved
after tho Confederates stolo his
razor. Mr. Leiter had an exper
ience somewhat similar in char
acter. In 1H52, when he lived at
Kemp's Mills, the Union soldiers
in their inarch down the Cum.
berland Valley made a raid on the
mill, where, among other things,
Mr. Loiter kept his shaving uten
sils. His fine razor was carried
off and from that day on he has
never shaved.
That Charter.
Tho application for a charter
for the iueline railway from Mc
Connellsburg to Loudon was filed
in the State Department, but was
not formally presented to the
Governor last Friday for the rea
non that tho Governor has taken
the position that charters should
not be granted unless there was
capital enough subscribed first to
form a working basis. This is
contrary to all precedent, and
dozens of applications are being
held up just the same as ours. It
U probable that the Governor will
revise hi opinion and that the
charter will be granted as asked
for,
Cow Peas.
The following is au extract
from a paper read by Prof. W. F.
Massey of Raleigh, N. C, at tho
meeting of the State Board of Ag
riculture at, Harrisburg on thn
29th ult. The paper was onti lied
"The Southern Cow Pea, and its
Probable place in the Agriculture
I of the Middle States." It contain
ed so much valuable information
that might be useful to the farm
ers of Fulton county, that we have
gladly given it a place in our col
umns. Editor.
Cow Peas are well adapted to
poor land, will grow where clover
will not, and is largely taking the
place of clover in the South, where
clover is an uncertain crop; but,
while an excellent crop, either for
feeding or manure, it is not in
tended to supersede, but, rather
to supplement that crop. Cow
peas are like clover in being a
leguminous crop, and are some
how able to get nitrogen,
either from the soil or from the
air, and with the aid of germs or
tubercles, which are minute in
sects or fungus vegetable
growths, fix the nitrogen or am
monia ready for the use of follow
ing crop.
As a crop they are highly valu
able to be sown after a wheat crop
has been cut from land that has
failed to catch grass. It is an ex
cellent pasture for hogs or cows
or valuable as a hay crop because
by the use of it, "bran can be al
most entirely dispensed' with.
Though they do not grow well ou
heavy limestone land, they are
found to be well adapted to either
poor land or acid land, and do not
need lime to assist their growth.
They flourish anywhere south of
the 40th degree of latitude, so
that we know that we are right in
the belt of country adapted to
them, although they have been
known to do well in Iowa, Wis
consin and Vermont.
There are many varieties. War
ren's Extra Early ripens in six
ty days after planting. Black
peas make excellent hay which
takes three or four days to cure
much like clover seed is cured by
rolling the cocks around till in
proper shape or till it will not
.-.how moisture when twisted in
to a rope, and then put into the
barn and let it ferment, if it will,
but do not disturb it. The prop
er way to cut is when the pods
get yellow. If the crop fails to
mature, it still makes a good pas
ture or a valuable manure. For
varieties suited to our climate the
Large Black or Whippoorwill was
named. The Wonderful grows
very strong and erect, but care
should be taken to secure home
grown seed if possible.
U. S. Bulletin No. 98 will be
furnished free as well as State
bulletin 102 upon application. In
formation as to seed etc., will be
furnished by the Editor upon ap
