Jones, in th« AlU*U Ccnnlitu- ti«0 . * The pea has always beta valued ,, h i v «a renovating crop, as a 1 for hogs to be gathered by and as a bay crop. It has * been appreciated as it do- res as a grain ration Fcr mules j horses. No grain, perhaps, by IITself slon 0 constitutes a perfect ISLr tue oat comes nearest to it. Irvirn contains too much fat, starch, It: (bjdrocarlions) in proportion "{..albuminoids or nuiscleform- , ‘ com pounds. Peas, on the con- I r*rv are t» o rich in albuminoids hnd somewhat deflcieut in hydro- trtons. The combination of these GrV makes a more perfect ration than either by itself. Many farm- l»rs are afraid to feed peas to horses lor males: they fear colic as a result. Ifliere is some foundation for this if Ithe pe» 8 arH ^ a ^ ter liave I keen threshed, are fe<l alone, not ISoomb nation, and are fed in large Laantity. The more concentrated [food jg, the greater the danger of fording it trecly and nncombined. greo corn wid founder horses.. But iwe know from a long ex pen© ce Ithat peas in the hull may be fed |witbperfect safety and with excel- Lut results. Two poi- ts are secur Ld byfeeding iu the hull; first, the Imorc perfect chewing of the gruiu, |tbe bulls cai not be bolted down bji ihorse; second, the diluting, so to lipeak, of the concentrated grains oy the not concentrated hulls. The bolls contain little albuminoids and onch hydrocarlion, and the mix ore ot hull and grain makes better jslaocrd teed than either alone. But the mixture of hull and grain i sot a iKTfect r tion, judging from experience. A mixed ration of peas a the hull with corn Is better still, bis we commend :o the reader who as never tried P. A half bushel Lf peas in the bull and five ears of corn makes a good feed for a me- dinm sized horse, doing moderate lork. Litt'e additional long for- I will be needed, as the bulls give necessary bulk. We h; ve known farmers who fed their mules bn peas alone—no corn—and they dkl well, but they do better with a nixed ration of peas and corn, as ibove. The pea commends itself as a sub itute for corn—in purt, at least— by the fact that it will grow on poorer land than corn ; that it will rail on lams better th.incorn . that lit can be prowu on a corn and cot- Itoof rm without serious interfer- with those crops, and finally id be grown very cheaply. These Iftcts are well known to our farmers jand it is not necessary to discuss Tho pea can follow oats, meat and other grain, and instead [of being a heavy tax on the land [will often prove of decided benefit Itoit. But the pea crop has one objec- [tion to it. The gathering ia trou [btosome. At best it is tedious, and [aometimes it comes at a very in- [convenient season, when cottou [picking is pressing. But if au ear ly matuiiug variety is planted ear lj, the peas will be ripe and ready for picking at rather a leisure time and befero cotton picking presses, j We planted the simcklt d or whip I pool will pea this year on the 26th of May, after winter oats had been taken off the land, and gathered | peas before tho 26fh of August. I Where one has to hire the picking, • good planis to pay by the hun dred, as iu *cotton picking. This *ill induce a laborer to bring in his vbole family, females and children, •nd do the work rapidly. Twenty- ®ro to thirty cents a hundred is ! fair compensation. Or instead of picking, ihe pea in .y be mowed, if not tangled with a mower, if I tangled with a blade. The vines will thru be taken from the field, it ! i* true, hut they will pass into the stalls as litter and find their way hack to the fields again as manure. If you have any peas, good read er, gather some and feed in tho hull to your stock—feeding a little at first and increasing up to the quaa [ tity mentioned—half bushel to a feed. If it does no other good, it will give variety to your stock ra turns, and this itseif conduces tc health aud vigor. Washington Letter- iPfum Our Regular CorreepenJeni.) Washington, 8ept 14, '86. Senator George created conster nation among the Repnbliouns of the Senate when he offered an amendment fo the very wild bill •gainst trust«|whioh the Republi cans of the fiwance committee had •greed to report to the Sen ale, making it the doty of the Presi- wut, when satisfied that (he price of any article of merchandise Fs ttieed in consequence of agreements or combiuftions, to issue his pros clamatiou suspending temporarily the collection of import duties on *«ch article. This was further than the Bepublican trust-loving Bonators wanted to go, and Ben a tor Boar nnbent himself to howl •gainst placing soch a vast amount of power in the hands of the Presi- oeut. The people cf this country had mnch rather give the power to too President than to have it wield- e< l by the thieving trust as they •re doing now. Harrison was very nnfortnnate 10 having bis lelter of acceptance ®ome so dose to Mr. Cleveland’s. H invited comparison between the •*o doenments, and the compart *® n waa anything else than favor* fa> Harrison. Aa one witty JJongressman expressed it, “it was “*e comparing t tallow dip to an ***> Mfbt/ Harrison swallows for a long time to come- He ac knowledges that a revision of the tariff is needed and yet he and the republican party are opimsing the Mills bill which only makps a fair revision of the war tariff. In re gard to trusts, Ilairison a^ree; with the Chicago platform and not with Blaiue, at least he savg be does, but what a Kepuhlicau says about trusts must always be taken with a grain of allowance. Harri son’s letter is on the whole regard ed here as very weak, and is not calculated to gaiu auy votes for his party. Mr. Cleveland s ringing letter of acceptance has made a tremeudons impression here. Many Democrats conside. it the strongest aud best letter of acceptance, ever written. It shows Mr. Cleveland to be firm in his intention of having taxation redneed in this con (try to the exs tent necessary to economically ad- minister the Government, The Senate committee on foreign relations have hung np the Reta’ia tion bill lor the present. The republicans are getting a good deal of consolation out of tl e tact that they siuiceeded aficr greateffoits in holding their own in Vermont and Maine. They will discover in November how very foolish they wore fo think of dev fearing Cleveland .m tariff reform. Senator Quay came over Irom New York this week to try to per suade the republican Senators to take his advice and not to pasS a a tariff'bill at this session. He has made some converts, but whether enough is somewhat doubtful. The impression among those who ongbt to know, is that an attempt will be made to pass the bill, if they c“D ever succeed in getting it reported to the Senate. The time set for its report has now gone by. Now they say it will be reported next week. A naval officer's au hority for the statement that the new double turreted monitor Puritan wuicb is being built at Chester, Penosylva uia, will when completed be able to disable and sink in fifteen min utes the strongest iron clad afloat. If this be so, about a dozen Puri tans would be good things tor Un cle Sam to have aronnd. Senator Beck is seriously ill with an affection of the heart/ He has by his physicians orders been com pelted to give np his Congressional duties for the present session. His loss will be severely felt if there is a tariff' debate in the Senate* as he was expected to lead the Democrats in (heir attack upon the Republican tariff bill. It is hoped that perfect rest will restore his healih. The Democrats of ihe House will shortly hold a caucus to deter mitre what actioo they shall lake on the adjournment question. Republican office-holders in the departments here have received circulars asking them toconlribpte to the republican campaign food. How’s that for cheek f Speaker Carlisle expects to go to Kentucky to-morrow. While there he will probably make a few spec ches to help the good eanse along Several bills have been fntr. dtie- ed which are aimed at the cot||)ti- Bagging trusts, and it wou'd seem to be almost certain- that some ot them must pass. All they want is an opportnni’y as everybody seems to be opposed to this trust. The Senate has not jet disposed of the Chinese exclusion bill. It one-tenth of the bills intro duced against trusts could become latfs we would never luar ot auotb er trust. Au immense ratification meeting, presid*d over bj Speaker Carlisle, was held here Wednesday evening. It was attended by many Congress- - en and officials, and the entbusi~ asm was something marvelous. Governor Hill’s nomination by the New York Democrats gives mr eb satisfaction to tho Democrats in Congress. They remember that it was Cleveland and Hill whorar- ried New York by 190,000 majority. A New Cotton Picking Machine. Perhaps one ot the biggest shows outside of the farm displays at the State Fair,- says the Macon Tele graph, Will be the Cunningham cot ton harvester. This will be exhibit ed by Mr. R. D. Glenn, who pro poses to bring a machine now being finished in Racine, Wis. This will be completed iu time for the present crop. This machine is much im proved over that on exhibition at the Dallas (Texas) Exposition last fall. It is much lighter, more readily adjusted, aud in fact, ^s ns readily handled and as handsomely finished as a McCormick reaper The same team will answer in its use; then, too, it will pass over as many acres per day as does the reaper. The quantity gathered will depend upon tie quantitv in the field, and also like it, it will gather all there may be there , it will leave none. Accompanying this machine, Mr. Cunningham has what may be called a gleaner, that gathers from off the ground all storm beateu or waste cottou. His cleaner, a new invention of his, of no less merit than the har vester, atd quite as simple, is placed alongside the gin, through which the harvested cotton passes just as it comes from the field, theuoe to the gin in far better'oon- dition than that hand picked. Two mules, a driver aud one man to relieve and renew the baskets is all the force required. Wagons As one witty or haul them as laden to the gin. In Memoriam On the morning of the 27th of August, Mrs. R B. Boyd, the mother of our esteemed friends, Mr It W., A.and MissMan Bmd, sweeny Well asleep.” For mauy weeks, she had been confined to her bed “ready to say” “Good night.” For her Death had no sting, it wds only a release of the purified spur, when the “earth- worn” soul, laid aside its clay. Being the wile of an honored, itenerant minister of the Church, her “tenting grounds,” have been from the ‘‘mountains to the Sea board” of Carolina, and blessed in deed were those communities, where as a co worker with her husband, s ie went iu and out, before the People, a living “epistle, known and read ot all men.” She shared in tha struggles and triumphs of the Church, ready for every good word and work, until the infirmities of age demanded a cessation from active labor- Though strong of purpose and resolute iu will her disposition was cheerful and ami ably drawing Mn d binding mauy friejds to her. The writer esteems i f , a privilege to have been re garded as her fri'-nd, and always f* It w hen iu her p^sence as i “treading upon Holy ground.” She wa8 a careful, auxious, piayiug mother, and the most touching eulogy of her worth, was pronounc ed by one of her sons when he said “1 thank God for mich a mother.” What a death to die, how grandly glorious, when “children and grand children ari-c np, and call her blessed.” For many years, she stood upon “Pisgah’s” top, viewing the Prom ised Laud, each day finding her nearer the “pleasant home light” under full sail, and the “harbor ever in sight.” Now she has passed over the “swelling Jordan,”entered into the Canaan of her hopes, and is, to-day “triumphing in Paradise.” There, with those, gone before her, she is “watching and waiting at the Beau- tiful Gate,” for those she left be hind. “May our last end be like hers.” One who loved hek. —TfBI————.

Long years ago" when a little band of workers were striving to build (his memorial pile, Col.
