A -w- THE ALAMANCE GLEANER. WINTER COVER CROPS. What and When to Sow—Prepar ation of Soil-How and With What to Fertilize. The following valuable infor mation to every farmer is sent ont from the Bureau of Plant In dustry, U. S. Dept. of Agricul ture, in conjunction with the Farmers' Cooperative Demon stration Work: A winter cover" crop is ons of the most important factors in southern fanning, especially hill farming. A system of poor farm ing has so greatly exhausted the humus in the majority of the fields as to make it well nigh im possible to prevent their further, depletion by the heavy rains of winter and early spring, which carry off much of the valuable elements left, onto the bottoms, and into the streams. Nature, always resourceful, has furnished certain plants which may be used to restore the depleted soils. These winter cover crops will hold our loose soils in place, and where sufficient growth is ob tained, can be turned under to add humus to the soil. The sand hills and other loose soils can largely be prevented from leach ing if heavy cover crops are turned under for a few years. This statement may be verified by taking new land where th« plant roots and vegetable mold are still in it, or the same may be found in sod land where run to pasture for a series of years and brought back into cultivation. No washing occurs here even af ter the heaviest rains. A good cover crop will not only prevent and add humus to the soil, but If clovers or vetches are used there will be nitrogen col lected from the air and stored in the soil during the winter, as peas and beans do in summer. The plants most suitable for cover crops are rye, vetch, crimson and bur clover. Conditions, of course, must determine what to use. RYE. —Rye is one of the old standard winter cover crops and lias been used very extensively in some sections. It has the ad vantage in that it is generally known, is easily planted, will grow almost at any season, will grow on the poorest soils, seed are usually cheap, and it does not require extra care in the way of inoculation as is the case with the legumes. It can be sown in the middles of the corn or cotton at last cultivation or if not conven ient to sow at this time it can be done a little later in the fall. sown early it gives a better cover for the soil and also some good grazingforthe stock. Where practicable, however, as would be on the corn land, it is better to turn under stalks and other growth Mid plant rye on good seed bed. It is also a good plan where the soil will grow It, to mix vetch with the rye, about 1 bushel of rye to £ bushel of vetch, using a bushel of the mixture per acre. It is better to drill seed, especial ly where planted in middle of core or ootton. It is claimed that the which woa innnmdvut hy thp Agricultural Department, is best suited to South Carolina and adjacent states. Then are other good na tive varieties which can be had at • fair price. OATS.—Oats may be used in stead of eye in many instances, aad -tba same general rule for preparation, planting, and after treatment, may be followed as for rye. li to 24 bushels of seed should be naed pei acre when planted alone; 1* bushels and i bushel of vetch whem combined. Rust-preof oat eeed give* the beat results in nearly every part of the South. Unlaw thelauda are fair ly food, it will be neessauy to fertilize the rye and-oat crop to get snißeient growth for the moet valuable cover crop. Stable ma nure applied broadcast at time of planting la good for this, or the following per acre: Add phos phate 150 ponnds; cotton feed meal 150 pound*; and muriate of potash 30 ponnds, thoroughly mixed and applied at time of planting. CLOVERS AND VETCH.—Un tiI lands become mum »»»££« adapted to these crops, the best satisfaction with them can be ob tained only by making a good preparation and by giving some special ears in seeding and in oculating the soil. PREPARATION.—Turn a few inches deeper than it has been previously plowed. Is there is no rain, after this, before time of planting, a roller should be run to Arm the seed bed. These crops can be sown in both corn and cot ton middles where clean by scat tering seed broadcast and rauning sweep or cultivator lightly to cover. Entire success, however, need not be looked for by this method of seeding, though some splendid results were reported from it last season. The corn lands can be pnt in fine condition by using a cat-away or disc har row to cut stalks and tnrn top soil. Sow seed and cover with tooth harrow. FERTILIZERS.—The clovers and vetch will need fertilizers to get satisfactory early growth. For this purpose stable nmnnre stands first as it not only adds fertility but carries the bacterial inoculation so essential on soils first planted to these crops. An application at time of sowing of 800 ponnds 16 per cent, acid, 25 pounds muriate potash, and 70 pounds cotton seed meal or dried blood per acre will be good. The addition of the .small amount of nitrogenous fertilizer will aid in giving the young plants a vigor ous start. When there happens to be any acidity of the soil, air slacked lime at the rate of 1,000 ponnds, per acre, should be ap plied at time of preparation. TIME FOR SOWING.—The best time for sowing crimson elover or bur clover is just as ear ly in the fall as danger of sum mer killing of young plants is past—not later than September first. Vetch can be sown much later, though the earlier planting does better. AMOUNT OF SEED.—About 20 poun Is of crimson clover seed per acre shonld be used; 30 pounds bur clover in bur, or 15 pounds cleaned seed; 15 pounds vetch seed when Seed when sown with 1 bushel oats which plan is always best if the soil is good enough to allow it, 30 pounds if sown alone. Bur clover will be found to grow better as a rule from the seed planted without hu'ling. The inoculating germ appears to be carried with the bur. All clover seed should be covered lightly; use roller if the soil is dry at planting time. INOCULATION.—To get a sat isfactory crop of crimson olovor, bur clover, or vetch the first year, the soil must be inoculated. Stable manure apparently do s this fn some localities but the safest plan is to procure soil from a few inches below the surface, where the bacteria are more num erous, from a field which has al ready grown the crop, scattering broadcast over the newly planted area. Two or three bushels per acre will answer, while more would be better. The United States Department of Agriculture will furnish inocu lating material free for any of theae crops, to any who make ap plication, fnll instructions aa to use being sent. It is recommend ed that tho?* daeiring this mate rial ahall send direct to the De partment for it, rather than pay tency prices to some of tbe firms making extravagant claims for thv same material.

DREAD THEIR ANCESTORS^ 8o the Qwarl Pagans Appsase Their Bplrits With Peed and Drink. It is always a matter of great dif ficulty to get any really satisfactory idea of the religion of pagan tribes. During a stay of some three years among the uwaria, however, I was able to form some notion of what was at tho back of their minds. They have an idea of a supreme be ing, but do not Worship him jn any way that I havjo been.able to dis cover. Probably this idea is just their paganized conception of the Mohammedan Allah. Their actual worship is more closely connected with tho spirits of their ancestors. They appear to live in dread lest these spirits should work damage to their farms, and with this in view they are care ful to supply them at regular inter vals with food and drink, which are deposited near their graves. These tombs are in the caso of chiefs in the royal compound, and huts are built over them, wonderfully deco rated with bright colors. In other cases the graves may be dug in somo lonely place away from the houses of the living and often in the depths of the forest. A spirit house which I have often visited is in a woodland glade with in half a mile of my compound and belongs to the family of tho chief butcher of Kuta. Owing to 4ts proximity to my abodo it hns fallen into disuse, as the pagans became somewhat chary of performing their mysterious rites so near tho whito man. Some departed spirits aro sup posed to inhabit the large trees which are to be found in almost ev ery pagan town, and small earthen ware pots containing food may be seen surrounding these trees. It is not often that one csn see the Owaris at their religious exer cises, but a few months ago, on en tering a Owari village, I saw a man kneeling in front of one of these small spirit huts with a pot of some drink in his hand, apparently expos tulating with the spirit—possibly because it had treated him badly— and occasionally pouring somo of the contents of tho pot upon the outside wall''of the hut.—Wide World Magazine.

Naturally his nobles agreed with him, as there was no one bold enough to affirm that be owned bounds which were better than those possessed by his sovereign. Tbere was, however, one exception, William St Clair, who wagered his bead that his two favorite hounds. Help and Hold, would kill tbe deer before aba crossed tbe Pentland brook. Brace accepted tbe challenge and wa gered tbe forest of I'ontland moor against Sir William's bead. Tbe wblte deer was rouaed by a cou ple of bloodbounds and given a fair start before 8t Clair released bis two favorites. After a long chose, follow ed by Blr William aud Bruce on bora*- back, the deer reached tbe brook, and Blr WUllam. feeling aure that be bad lost bis wager, prepared to give him self Into tbe bands of Bruce, but be fore tbe deer could get farther than halfway acrona Hold had seised ber, and.
