It is perfectly adapted to our soils and climate. There are a very large number of , named varieties of cowpeas, and new ones are constantly appearing, due to variations in habit of growth, color or leaf, stem, pod and the color and size of the seed; or its physiological charac teristics. The most important variety recently developed is the Iron, which is wilt resisting on our commonly called "pea sick lands." As soon as some fe '"iety has attained sufficient local Citation, a name is given to it, and sooner or later the supposed new vari ety is placed upon the market. In this way one variety may be cultivated in a dozen different localities under as many names, or a dozen different vari eties may bear the same name. We have at present thirty-one so-called varieties growing. I have no doubt but that when they are carefully com pared and notes completed, that the so called varieties will be reduced at least twenty-five per cent. Almost any land will grow cowpeas, but like other economic plants the richer the land the larger the crop, when grown for hay; frequently rich tiTwic- fail tr nrndnpo flnvthinff like fl fair crop of peas. Many of our sandy and silty soils are so-called "pea sick," on which all varieties except the Iron are attacked by a fungus. Drainage seems to have no effect on the appear ance of the disease, as damage from wilt is as great on well drained high soils as on low soils which are not well drained. Comparatively little wilt is Known on our couuiern sons, which contain an abundance of clay. The past season is the first time I have no . ticer the wilt appearing in the Pied mont region. Then it did not attack the well established varieties, only some recent crosses which had not be come "well established. The wilt is at present much less severe on loam and clay soils, and so far as my observation goes, is largely confined to the coast and lower pine Jjelt regions. In many localities the pilots wilt so badly that It is unprofitable to .attempt to grow any other variety than the Iron. This rariety is a compact, vigorous grower of medium size, somewhat trailing in its habits, but less so than the Un known. The foliage is dark green, pos sessing a peculiar bluish luster that distinguishes this variety from others. It ic rs'f tha inlov H-no Tf hnMs its leaves under adverse conditions of drouth and disease better than any other varieties. It remains green up ro rrost, even it plants contain many ripe pods. . The cowpea has various uses in Southern agriculture. It is used ex fensively as a catch crop on truck or grain lands; is -used as a full season crop for the purpose of improving the soil: for hay and for the seed. The seed of some varieties is used to suppjy the table. The inferior varieties are ised extensively for stock food. The preparation of soil for cowpeas depends upon the season at which they are planted. If planted early in the spring and it is desired that they should occupy the land the entire sum mer, the soil should be well prepared and fertilized with 200 or 400 pounds of acid phosphates and 100 to 200 pounds kainit per acre. If planted in corn, they may be planted in the siding furrows late in the season, and culti vated in the Operation of cultivating the middles; or they may be sown broadcast before the last cultivation arid worked in. If sown after grain, the most economical method is to sow the peas on the stubble and cross disc thern in. I have harvested as good crops of hay after the latter method as when the land was plowed. The amount of seed to plant depends "upon the use to which they are to be put. If for seed, they should be plant ed in rows about three feet apart and seven to twelves peas planted every eighteen inches; this will take about one-half bushel seed per acre. If Ranted as a catch crop, or for hay, it is generally better to plant them broad cast at the rate of one to two bushels per acre. Cowpeas make excellent silage, but are somewhat difficult to haul ana pass throush a silage cutter in the green state, owing to their usual tangieu con dition. I have seen as brignt ana iree of mould silage produced from pea- vines as from any other plant. The chief use of cowpeas in the South is for the purpose of soil im- brovement and for hay. The yield of tay tepends upon the fertility or use Vsoil on which it is grown, varying from Ine-half to three tons cured hay per When grown for hay, it is gen-1 cre.

The former will save the hay in almost any season, but it is rather expensive. The latter is less expensive, out will not save the nay in rainy seasons. The ength of time the vines are allowed to remain in the swath, windrows, cocks, etc., and the method of curing, are problems that must be determined by the climatic conditions at the time. The rule is to allow them to remain in the, swath as short a time as possible consistent with good curiCRSor, order that the leaves may fall off tis little as possible. ... Acclimatloa of Corn. Other things being equal, it Is not wise generally to import corn from a distance, especially a different lati tude, because it will not, as a general rule, yield satisfactory returns until it has become thoroughly acclimated, which usually requires from two to three or more years. We have had many striking instances of this fact m our tests of varieties of corn brought from the Northwestern States. None of these varieties have done very well with us, although they are the most prolific ones in the Northwest. This is the reason that it is urged in another part of this series of articles that the history of all seed corn purchased be ascertained from the dealer. Neither is it prudent to buy seed corn that was grown in the extreme South, for it, being accustomed to a longer growing period than we have in North Caro lina, will be liable to be caught by frost, and thereby give a diminished yield of immature grain, especially it fall comes early. The small yield of the Northwestern corns, on, the other hand, being accustomed to a shorter growing period than we have is forced to maturity at an earlier period than is conducive to the largest yields in our climate. N In our experiments we nave gotten the higher yields of shelled corn per acre from the white than from the yellow varieties of corn. This greater yield may be due to the fact that the Southern people, being partial as a gen eral rule, to white cornsvhave improved them more than they have the yellow varieties. From the standpoint of chemical composition, the yellow corns are no richer in feeding value than the white corns, which fact is contrary to a common belief prevalent in this and other States. ,The only difference in the two is that there is coloring mat ter present in the kernels of the yellow corn which is not found in .the kernels of white varities of corn.

Allow no water until first feed. About third day feed bran and corn meal mixed in crumbly state with sweet milk with a little meat meal; to this add a good portion of clean sand, mixing thoroughly. After the first week the above ration can be im proved on by adding cut green clover, onion tops, lettuce, or in fact, anything green that would be palatable. Never allow the old duck to "carry'' the duckling, as she would run their legs off or drown them in no time. Put her in a coop for a dayxr two and she will be ready to. go back to the flock. ' After the ducks are two or three days old it is a good plan to make a little run in some quiet spot near the house where they can be watched, placing, a box in the run arranged so they' can hover under it. -h " Cultivating Suirar Cane. The sugar cane has no main root, but like all grasses possesses a great num ber ofXfine rootlets; these spread to a great distance and to a considerable depth in suitable saill. The results would be of considerable interest and value if planters would make a series of observations on the range of the roots of i:he sugar cane. In good soil the majority of the rootlets reach a depth of about two feet; a smaller number extending evn to four or five feet; in moderately Wll tilled soil the ioots grow downwaij&s until they reach the layer of soil but little disturbed by cultivation, and then spread later ally so that the depth to wfiich the roots descend in a stiff soil depends on the depth of the tillage. v Odds and Ends.

There are no fairr set of ihe earth than the doctors, and when 1 find they have been in error they usually apt to make honest and m confession of the fact. A case in point is that of an emi practitioner, one of the good old seh who lives in Texas. His plain, varnished tale needs no dressing u "I had always had an intense preil" dice, which I can now see was rai rantable and unreasonable, against muchly advertised foods. Hence, never read a line of the many 'aid; of Grape-Nuts, nor tested the f till last winter. "While in Corpus Christ! for m health, and visiting my youngest son who has four of the .ruddiest, health iest little boys I ever saw, I ate my first dish of Grape-Nuts food for sup per with my little grandsons. I be came exceedingly fond of it and have eaten a. package of it every week since, and finf it a deliciqus, refreshing and strengthening food, 'leaving no ill ef- fects whatever, causing no eructations (with, which I was formerly much troubled), no sense & fulmessr nausea, no distress pt stomach in any way. "There is no other food that agrees with me so well, or sits as lightly or pleasantly upon my stomach as this does. I am stronger and more active since I began the use of Grape-Nuts than I have been for ten years, and am no longer troubled with nausea and in digestion."

The devil could get a very big salary if he would come up and live in New York. You can generally tell when a girl has been kissed before by the way she pretends she hasn't. Heaven has no interests in the church that has no interest in human ity. You can JBake a man so mad he can't see bt telling him how every body admires the ability of one of his friends. If you would knock a stubborn man down instead of stopping to argue with him you would save a lot of wind and much valuable time. When a woman has a birthday after she has counted the , presents she hasn't time to count the years. A man hardly ever knows enough to pretend to think his wife knows more than she does.
