Cowpeas, soy beans and winter vetch
are successful new legumes for Miclii
pan and give promise of valuable use
fulness as feeds and green manure.
Cowpeas tire tender, succulent, vine
like plants and must be grown be
tween the periods of frosts.
In general, cowpeas will grow best
when sown in rows, using one-lialf
bushel to three peeks of seed per aere.
Soy beans are a little more hardy
than cowpeas, growing with stiff, erect
stalks, but treated like cowpeas.
Winter vetch may be sown either in
the spring or fall. Its behavior is much
like Held peas.
Cowpeas may be used for fall pas
ture for hogs and other stock.
Soy beans ripen their seed and shed
their leaves as soon as frosts come.

The seeds, being very rich in protein
and fat, give promise of becoming a
substitute for linseed and cottonseed
meal.
Winter vetch seeded in the spring
makes excellent fail pasture, which re
mains green through the winter.
Winter vetch as a substitute fur clo
ver lias been grown best by seeding in '
the fall, using a half bushel of wheat
and half bushel of vetch, cutting the
whole in the middle of June for hay.
Cowpeas and winter vetch make ex

best returns if plowed under when
near the mature state. Either sown

HENS IN PASTURE.
Itoiimliii: Fl<xks, Movable Honse*
and Protection From Uiinks.
The plan of placing hens out to roam
In pasture fields in summer is entirely
practicable. In fact, it is just the plan
I am following, except that my hens
are kept winter and summer in the
outlying houses. There will be no
need of wire inciosures, provided the
pastures are far enough removed from
winter quarters, so that the hens do
not come back to their old roaming
grounds. Fifty or sixty rods should be
far enough away to insure their stay
ing away.
Where ground is reasonably smooth
it would be entirely practicable to
build good houses 011 wooden runners,
using the same house for both winter
and summer. A good team would
move them, hens and all, back and
forth from place to place. It is better
to locate them in an open field in sum
mer. If too close to an overhanging
tree, the hens are liable to take to the
tree during the hot nights of summer.
When this occurs, it is almost impossi
ble to teach them togo back to the
perches upon the approach of winter.
I have a number of houses without
foundations. Corner stones support
them about a foot above the ground.
1 feared at first that we would be
bothered with hens laying under the |
houses, where it would lie difficult to
secure the eggs. This does not occur,
however. I'radically all the hens go
inside to lay. They are always fed
inside and generally kept shut up each
morning until 7 or 8 o'clock.
The space under the house is a favor
ite resort 011 rainy days, and during
the midday heat of summer they spend
most of their time there. It is much
cooler than the shade of a tree. In
case of a fright from hawks, etc., they
can scurry quickly to cover.
My pastures are certainly improving
year by year. They now furnish a good
deal more feed for cattle after the hens
eat all they want than they formerly
did without the 1,400 hens.- Cor. Itural

Little Jilpftlcd of French Gardrnrrii.
Among the gardeners in France, says
one who is visiting there, it is custom
ary for them to half pull up and tip
over their cabbage plants so that wa
ter may drain out of the leaves. They
say that if this is not done the center
.will rot or the leaves sun scald. This
also prevents rapid growth and crack
ing open, if marketing is delayed.
It is a very small garden in France
which does not have one or more shel
ters, cheaply built and straw thatched
perhaps, in which to keep the fruit
and vegetables shaded from the sun or
protected from rain while the work of
gathering is going on.it is by just
these little niceties of wire in gathering
and putting up their products that the
French gardeners put these 011 the
market in fresh and tempting condi
tion.
The Olil Surf Until.
It is not so many years ago when
surf bathing of a very primitive kind
prevailed at tin* eastern end of Long
Island and, for aught I know, at other
points. Every Saturday morning or
afternoon, as the tide willed, through
out the summer big farm wagons trun
dled down to the beach and were
swung around abreast of the line of
breakers. Old fishhouses served the
purpose of modern bathing pavilions,
and the sea costumes were those of
last year's village street. A long rope
was drawn from under the seats and
hitched to the wheel, and then some
sturdy ex-wlialer or life crew man, in
red flannel shirt and old trousers tied
at the ankles, slipped his wrist through
the loop at the end of this primitive
lifeline and, wading out, kept it as taut
as circumstances permitted, while the
women and children hung to it and
reveled and wallowed and shrieked, re
joicing in their "Saturday tub."—Out

HIS ROSTRUM
Farrish Brown put a dry goods box
outside of his store tloor at Wichita
fourteen years ago. Tad Hunt came
along and sat down.
"Nice box," said Hunt.
"Yes," said Brown.
There was silence for a few mo
ments. Hunt sat still and looked pen
sive. He had never been able to get a
job. His wife kept a boarding house,
and it was said that Tail was her man
•>f , 1 ffuirs that is to say, her steward.
Hut, as a matter of fact, Mrs. Hunt
could not trust Tad.
"It's a queer world," he said, draw
ing a knife from his pocket and open
ing it; "men and women everywhere
and nothing but men and women, and
nearly all of 'em making one another
miserable and nothing to show for It
but the grave at last. The places that
knew them once know them 110 more
forever, and the sun rises each morn
and sets each night, and none of the
questions of man is answered. Talk
of the sphinx: Why, every blade of
grass is a sphinx and holds a secret.
There is not a star in heaven that wo
are not obliged to question. And what
! answer have we? Silence. Silence."
He was tracing a little border 011 the
box, made of an intertwining of figtire
S's, and the man who stood near
watched him and was much interested;
so much so that another man who
wasn't doing much either stopped, too,
and watched the making of the border.
Tad looked up and nodded to him.
"It is astonishing," went on Tad, "to
see how men toil anil toil. This man
has one scheme,and the next man has
another. Yet talk with any man over
forty and you find him to be a grave
yard of blasted hopes. The struggle
lias been in vain. Even success proves
to be failure, for 110 man makes a suc
c-ess which satisfies him.
"And yet it is the destiny of man to
aspire. Some great power beyond him
self drives liim onto hope. He must
rise. He is a part of the scheme of ev
olution and cannot help himself any
more than as if he were a moilusk in
the sea. lie is driven to settle Ameri
ca, invent machines, to make laws
adapted to wider ideas of liberty. He
congratulates himself on his improve
ment. but lie has really 110 call to con
gratulate himself. He is driven by the
winds of destiny."
lie did quite a strip of the border in
silence, wiped his forehead 011 his shirt
sleeve for he wore no coat—and re
peated with pensive accent:
"1 ►riven by the winds of destiny."
These remarks were repeated about
town by those who listened to them.
"Tad Hunt is quite a philosopher in
his way," they said. Tad had stayed on
the box the tirst day till noon and re
turned at 2, after which lie left ti»«
spot at 5:1.~>. The next morning lie was
011 hand at S. I!row 11 thought it looked
rather businesslike to have a crowd
about his doors and didn't object much.
Besides, he enjoyed Hunt's retlections,
which came nearer being thought than
anything Brown had met with for
some time. He almost thought himself
as he listened to them and summoned
from that unused chamber politely
denominated his mind sentiments of
approval or disapproval. As time went
011 Hunt improved in appearance. To
be sure In? was no more particular
about buttoning his cuffs, nor was he
more addicted to the wearing of coats,
but a certain look of tire and enthusi
asm came to his eyes, such as may be
seen in the glance of a popular actor
or preacher. He walked down the
street to his box mornings with an
alert step. lie became eager for his au
dience. Sometimes he returned in the
evening and talked till time for shut
ting up shop.
As the years rolled by his audience
changed, I ut he seemed to always be
able to secure a hearing from some
one. Thus it came about that he sat
perched <ni his place of preaching for
fourteen years and differed from the
East Indian mystics who do similar
things principally in the facts that he
went home to Ills meals and that he
desired to disseminate his views.
One morning Hunt came from his
house to the store. There he stopped
as If paralyzed. A cold perspiration
crept out 011 his forehead. He grew
red and then white. For the !>ox was
gone. The pulpit was destroyed. The
high place was overthrown. There was
a crowd about him presently, chaffing 1
him and roaring, but Hunt seemed to
hear nothing. He looked about in utter j
dismay.
Then something remarkable hap- ]
pencil. Tad brought a suit for damages
against Brown. The court had to ac
tually consider the case, and Tad Hunt j
was his own counsel and put up an
eloquent argument. So the court grant
ed him the suit and gave him a penny. :
In a way Hunt felt himself vindicated,
but that didn't restore his box, for he
had been unable to secure a manda
mus for its return. So he walked about
sadly for a few (lays, looking detached
—like a protoplasm cut off from its
own particular slimy ooze—and at last
stayed indoors at liouie. After that the
boarders began to leave, and one day
Mrs. Hunt broke up house and took
Tad away with her 011 the train. They
didn't say where they were going. The
ticket agent might have told, but he
didn't.

CLOCKS OF THE PAST.
Chey Were Very Different From
Moilera Time Telling Machine*.
The word clock, derived from the
French gioclie, German glocke, signi
fies a bell, and up to the fourteenth
century it was only used to designate
a bell which was struck at certain pe
riods of time indicated by the hour
glass. Sundials, or "gnomons," were
the first instruments used in measur
ing time, and there is but little doubt
that the long granite pillars which we
call obelisks were used by the Egyp
tians, if not as actual sundial hands,
at least for some astronomical obser
vations of the movement of the sun.
Clepsydras, or water clocks, and sand
clocks come next in order. The flow
of sand through a small orifice is an
accurate method of measuring time,
for the exit of the sand Is always reg
ular, but water is influenced by the
laws of hydrostatics when the vase is
full the water runs out faster than
when it is nearly empty. Candle clocks
or tapers on which were colored bands
indicating how much was consumed in
a certain time were also used, and
their invention is attributed to Alfred
the Great; but this method is even
more susceptible to error than the pre
vious ones. Jewelers' Review.
FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
I<VntlicrN %«•«•«! No Sun.
Never put pillows in the sun, even to
air them, for it will bring out the ani
mal oil and cause them to have a rari
chl suiell. For the same reason pil
lows should not be dried near the fire
after wetting.
If both tick and feathers must be
washed, till a tub half full of warm
soapsuds, add a tahlespoonful of am
monia, rub soap on the tick, put into
the water and use the washboard as
for ordinary clothes, ltiuse in several
waters t! at are lukewarm and run the
pillow through the wringer. If the
clothes wringer cannot be made suffi
ciently loose in the rollers to allow the
bunches of feathers to pass through,
wring as dry as possible with the
hands and beat and dry the pillows
several days In wind and draft. Hang
in the shade to dry. It will require ut
least three days. When dry, give the
pillows 11 good beating up, and they
will be sweet and light.

Colored Lace Curtains.
The time honored fashion of using
white lace curtains exclusively Is rap
idly disappearing. For several years
Arabian gray and ecru have been pop
ular, and now there is 11 demand for
actual color. The madras laces lu
stained glass effects are exceedingly
liked for country houses, and town
houses are taking them up. Some of
the designs reproduce Gothic mosaics,
as well as the glass work of such art
ists as La Farge. A striking design is
shown in a Moorish applique lace cur
tain. The scene is a Moorish balcony,
with latticework center, showing a
1 suspended rose tinted lamp. Another
j represents a green iron grille, with a
! pair of gates, the curtain being divided
j in the middle to suggest the gates be
| ing thrown open.

Brett}* and serviceable coverings for
sofa cushions intended for summer use
i are made of linen, denim, duck or

of ribbon or a heavy cord. Especially
pretty are the leaf designs in the tinted

I'lnlesn Clothesline.
Women will be glad to hear that an
ingenious inventor has fashioned a
clothesline which works admirably
without the aid of any pins. The new
clothesline is composed of a series of
connected links, each formed of a piece
of wire, which is bent upon itself so as
to form two flexible shank portions.
These shanks are then twisted about
each other and terminate in a loop.
Clothes arranged 011 a line of this kii.
will remain in position just as well as
though they were held there by pins.
At any rate, so say those who have
tested this novel device.
To Keep Sweet Potatoes.
Get a goods box as large as you want
it. Then make a paste of flour and
water. Take this and some good,
tough paper and Hue the box through
out. Then if you want the box to look
as nice as possible get wall paper to
' paste 011 the outside. Have the top to
fit closely. Now set the box close to 1
the chimney, as the warmth from the
I fire will make them keep better. I
have known twenty bushels to keep
that way and not over u peck rot.

To make plum sauce boll three quarts
of half ripe plums fifteen minutes. Bub

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Tho (•nlct4*si Foul.
Few people know the real worth of
the guinea hen. She holds the cham
pionship as an e;rg producer, scarcely
taking a day off. The eggs, while
'.'luingly small, afford quite as much
mating as the average lien's egg, for
the reason that the shell is very full.
In quality they are superior to other
eggs and possess a finer flavor.
Another very valuable feature, and
one to which many object, is their con
tinual racket. Their cry of "buck
wheat" is no more annoying than the
quacking of a duck, but the ear pierc
ing screech is only occasioned by the
approach of danger. This is their
means of defense, and while they are
defending themselves (lie other fowls
are safe as well. There is no danger
of chicks being carried off by hawks
If there are guineas around. Upon
the approach of a hawk he is greeted
by such a volley of screams and cries
as to frighten him away. Should he
be dating enough to come on, he will
be met in the air by the guinea, who
will give him battle, as I have seen
demonstrated many times with my
own guineas. It is generally the cocks
that exhibit so much bravery and the
hens with chicks.
Although the guinea hen hides her
nest, she unknowingly reveals her se
cret. On the nest she utters a pecul
iar cry every few minutes, which is
different from that made at any other
time. By this means the nest is eas
ily found. The flesh of the guinea is
dark, like that of wild game. The
young are very good eating, as the
flesh is tender, sweet and gamy.—Fred
W. Ilawes in American Agriculturist.
Hay From Thistle.
Western farmers have been working
for years to exterminate the Canada
thistle. State aid has been sought and
laws passed outlawing the alleged vile
product, and writers have voluminous
ly denouueed it ns the agricultural
curse of the age. Recently a Colorado
farmer harvested twenty acres of the
thistle, made hay of It and is feeding it
to ills cattle with excellent results.
Recently Secretary Coburn of the Kan
sas board of agriculture gave the ex
perience of eighteen farmers who value
their thistle hay highly, some claiming
that it is equal to alfalfa. Professor
Bailey of the Kansas university lias
analysed the plant and finds it espe
cially rich in protein. There are other
weeds which may redeem their charac
ters when better known. The writer
of this once used an acre of careless
weeds, cutting and feeding to twenty
young hogs, and even the hogs grew
like careless weeds. The almost inde
structible purslane is also an excellent
green food for both fowls and animals.

We have received quite a number
of fruit leaves this season which are
badly punctured and apparently dis

that were well sprayed. The results
were enough to discourage and puzzle
any man who has been taught to be
lieve that spraying will prevent dis
ease. In some of these cases we feel
quite sure that spraying caused the
injury. Impure samples of copper
have been used, and this wet season
has made the leaves very liable to be
injured by the spray. It is discourag

would cure, yet the pure medicine is
still reliable.—Rural New Yorker.

con lines it :•» attacks particularly to the
under sid>" of the leaves, causing them
to curl and eventually fall off. Nines
should be watched carefully, and upon
the tilHt indications that tin pests are
present the leaves should be plucked
and destroyed and the under side of the
vines thoroughly sprayed with a 10 to
12 per cent strength of kerosene einul
sion. Tobacco decoction lias also been
found very effective, depending some
what upon the kind used. The per
cent of nicotine present in tobacco
steins is small, and, as it is very solu
I'le, much of it may be lost, provided
the tobacco has been left in an ex
posed place.
A pound of good tobacco stems in
two gallons of hot water ought to de
stroy this jiest if the material is prop
erly epplied. A spray nozzle with a
bent iieck extension will tie necessary
to reach the under surface of the
leaves. A knapsack or bucket sprayer
should be used, as it is difficult to get
into a Held with a barrel sprayer after
the vines have obtained their present
growth. The pest usually appears In
spots, and such places should be care
fully watched, sprayed and treated to
keep It from spreading to other places.
Large numbers of big brown millers
have been noticed this summer in
houses, fields and out of the way places.
These are the moths that lay the eggs
of the alfalfa cutworms, of which we
have always had more or less for the
last fifteen years. When the larvae
hatch out, they begin depredations on
the alfalfa and will often lop over on
to the beet fields adjoining. Running
water around the fields is one of the
ren: (lies suggested, but Is frequently
impracticable.
The < :ily real successful remedy for
them on the beets Is a thorough spray
| lug with some arsenical mixture. It is
sometimes found necessary to spray so
strong as to kill the plants before hav
ing the desired effect on the worms.
Therefore it is well to be prepared for
j them, and when they arrive a narrow
strip can lie thoroughly sprayed around
the fields so as to head them off as
they approach.—Denver Field and
