The cowpe?? and peanuts and sop| beans planted or sowed during the next six weeks will exert ? tremen dons influence on next year's crops. When the effects of a crop of cow peas or soy beans on tihe yield of the following crop is considered, is it not more than strange that every acre of corn is not sowed in cow peas and every acre of oat and wheat stubble is not planted in soy beans or cowpeas? The farmer sometimes complains, and rightfully so, of the profits made by those who live through handling his products, but the per cent of these profits is small in ?comparison with the per cent of profit from every legume crop that will be planted in corn or after wheat or oats during the next two months. With the certainty of the profits from growing these legumes and the magnitude of these profits demonstrated thousands of timea and admitted by everybody, it is truly astounding that there is a ?ingle acre left unseeded to some one of these legumes that it is pos sible to seed. The reasons that are given for the neglect to profit by these catch crops which our long-growing sea son make possible are many and -varied. Some of them do little cred it to our intelligence as farmers, but most of them reveal the tendency of human nature to try to justify the things we do. With some, it ia the high price of seed, and they seem to think that the profits on this high priced seed might be ob tained by producing their own seed .ha* no bearing on the case. Others argne that cowpeas do better when planted alone than when sowed in corn, apparently assuming that be cause the largest crop cannot ts? irrown in corn or after oats, an in crease of 25 to 50 per cent in next year's crops is too email for con sideration. Still others find it im possible (?) to prepare the oat and wheat stubble for peas and soy beans. The weather is hot, .the teams are busy and the ground may be iiard and dry. These are all facts, bat they may still fall far short of sufficient excuse for neglecting this means of increasing soil fertility and producing for ag?. The aim should be to sow every acre in oom to cowpeas and sow cowpeas or plant peanuts or soy beans on every acre of oat aud wheat stubble and every other acre not growing some other crop. This .should be the aim and while often it may prove difficult or impossible to reach the point aimed, just so far as we fail to reach that point, Jnst Ro far do we come short of the best farming.-Progressive Farmer. Help to Raise Standard of In tellectual &Life of Your Community. The Progressive Farmer, in aa article on "Some things you can do" to help your neighborhood, has this paragraph: "If there ever wis a time when our farmers needed education more than at any other time, that time is right now. Vast problems, in volving perhaps the veritable re making of our rural civilization, are pressing for solution. See that your children are as well educated as pos sible, and help the cause of educa tion in your neighborhood by get ling your neighbors to read the best papers you know. Thousands of 11 a rm ors have educated themselves by reading good papers. Make your neighborhood a reading neighbor hood, and it will be an intelligent neighborhood, and co-operation will ?follow." Fifty years ago there was a neigh borhood in one of the counties of North Carolina that was derided for miles around because the people who ?lived tbere kept themselves poor buying books and educating their children. Some of the farmers actually sent their sons-nay, their daughters-to college, to the amused contempt of the rest of the county. They kept an excellent high school going for years; they even i organized a debating society, and built a modest but neat brick hall for it to meet in. It was a genuine scandal to their thrifty neighbors the way these people wasted their money on such things as magazines and newspapers. Every house'in that community was foll of them, aud high-class, expensive ones too. But the inhabitants of that community were obstinate and held to their mad career through jeer6 and jibes. Out of that community, which never held more than 50 or 75 souls, there have come at least a dozen men who have reached state-wide eminence; among the sons of these stubborn pioneers are lawyers, doc tors, preachers, editors and teachers galore. Some ol them have returned to the farms and are now showing the surrounding county what scien tific agriculture means. Out of the last generation there has not gone outa^single one who bas made a :k:rb in life, and several have had ' careers.

Several Good Kinds and Every Man Has His Favorite Among Them Splendid and Senator Dunlap Are Sure to Bear. (By HENRY FIELD.) Remember I told you last summer that the time to set strawberries was early in the spring. April is my choice. Just after the leaves start and before the blossoms appear the planta will live with half a show. You can hardly kill them. A monti later you can hardly get them to live. Now get ready to set a good bed. For family use at least 300 plants. If yon get too many berries it won't do a bit of harm. I like mostly staminate or perfect blossom sorta. You can set a solid block of one kind of them and they will all bear. If you set pistillate or Device for Cutting Dewberry Runners, and at the Same Time Cultivate the Seil. Ordinary Rooting Cultivator Attached to Wheel. imperfect blossom sorts you will have to set some of the others with them to furnish pollen, and even then, ii it is poor weather you will fail to getA good set of berries. Jk\\ There are lots of good kind? every man his favorite among I like Splendid and Senator,' DwH best of any, because-they are sure? live, grow and spread like weeds. ancR always bear. They are much alike in many ways and I never had a failure with either one. Both are perfect blos som, have strong, rugged foliage, free from rust, and bear enormously of good sized berries. Of the pistillate6, I like Sample best, but it is more a professional's berry than a farmer's berry. Clyde has such a weak plant that it is hard io get to live and rusts badly. Sena tor Dunlap or Splendid will almost kill out blue-grass and that is what the average farmer wants in a berry. It must Keep hustling, whether it gets the best of care or not. Be sure the eggs for hatching are never chilled. Keep the house free of draughts and keep a good clean litter to scratch in. There is no need of a male bird if you are keeping hens for eggs alone. Take good care of the stock yon have and you can develop it into good hardy stock. It is a good plan to occasionally scald the dropping boards and roosts with boiling water. Give the hens a chopped onion oc casionally in the mash, lt is excellent as a disease preventative. If the rooster is old do not have too many hens in the breeding pen If you expect the eggs to hatch. Study your birds closely and learn their habits. The better you know them the better success you will have. Soft-shelled eggs are often caused by fowls being confined, becoming overfat, and from lack of mineral mat ter. The incubator should be located in & room where the temperature doeu not vary much during the day or night A restless hen will never answer to ase as a hatcher early in the season, when steady warmth ia an imperative condition of success. Dust the hen with insect powder before sitting, and twice more while hatching, then chicks will not be full of lice to begin with. For early hatches it is best to give . not more than eleven eggs to a hen, or those on the outer edge may be come exposed and chilled. Clean and sweeten up the poultry ( bouse the first warm day. Use a good j disinfectant and lice killer about the , roosts and dropping boards. In operating brooders remember that uniform heat should always be ' maintained. It is better to have a * little too much heat than too little. ' Fowls should be as humanely treat- ( ed as possible and should never be i iinnecessarily frightened.
