In discussing farming In North Caro Una ami urging tin? benefits of growing the soutlirrn tioM or cow pea Professor Massey has said: It is not in its direct action on the soil that the value of the cow pea comes In to a great extent. Some persons will ask, "If the growth of the pea is such a benefit to the soil, why not get it at once by plowing under the whole crop?" Much has been written, in the north especially, In regard to what they call "grceu manuring." and many there advocate the growing of crops of clover or peas for the sole purpose of turning them under for manure. This Is a very shortsighted policy anywhere and particularly in the south. The Illnwlllir nml r>f ..f ? tiioccs of green vegetation In a warm climate, ami especially 011 a saudy soil, is apt to result in tlie evolution of organic acids to such an extent as at times to render tlie land so treated for a time wholly unproductive. Green manuring is wrong for another reason. If we turn under at midsummer the green growth, we cut short the nitrogen gathering the plants would do for us, for the greater part of this is doue In :ae letter part of the plant's growth, ml by turning It under green we lose a large part of the work that It would have done later on and at the same time run the risk of Injuring rather than benefiting tlie soil. But the most important point is that we thus bury a crop worth usually at least $20 per acre its food for stock. Now, it must be a remarkably profitable crop that succeeds such an expenditure of tood to make this pay. All experiments here and elsewhere have shown that the best way is to cure the pens as hay and to feed them to stock and save all the manure carefully to be returned to the soil. And it lias also been proved that fully 75 per , cent of the manurial value can be thus I saved and that the feeding value can lie fully realized in addition and a profit made from tlie animals fed. The slavish dependence of the southern farmer on the fertilizer manufac[ tr.rcr lias been lnrarolv hrmciit nhmo l>.v the failure to make tbe feeding of stock an impoitant part of our work. Stock feeding and the saving of manure lie at the very foundation of all successful agriculture, and the man who supposes that in the long run he can do with commercial fertilizers alone will lind that he does it at the expense of the permanent fertility of the soil. The pea, aided by the application of mineral fertilizers, will give us a good deal of the organic matter that we need, hut the organic matter and plant food in the,form of barnyard and stable manure have never yet been fully imitated in chemical matters alone. Where there is no profit in the feeding of stock it Is true that we can bury | the peas in the soil or feed them off on the ground to hogs and make the soil Increasingly fertile, but there are few localities, in the south where the feeding of beef or dairy animals cannot be made a profitable part of the farm work. Corn Urowlnpr In tlie Soatli. The south lias special advantages for the raising of corn in the long season during which it may he grown and In the ready sale for the crop at remunerative prices. Planting may be done as . early as February in the gulf states, or :t may be deferred until after a crop of >ats or elover has been gathered from :! ,? l ni.l Itt T.-nn..~ ??? ? ? . . .... . ... ? .in-.-. i\iuim!4 nusis ntreiy )cci:r before November, so that even tlit* latest plantings have ample time to mature. while the early plantings may he harvested in time for growing liny ?r for sowing winter oats or some otlirtr crop on the same ground. In most localities the entire crop finds a ready sale In the home market. The n<*n Dr.vis Apple. "The I ten Davis apple in many ways has given pleasure to thousands and brought dollars to hundreds, but no one knows who Den Davis was or where he lived or died. All that is known of its history is that it came | into favor with orchard planters in the southwest, and the name traveled with the tree. In the markets of Philadelphia there are probably more of this variety offered for sale during December and January than any other. Its ruddy cheeks on a pale yellow ground are tempting, and Its eating I M " TIEN DAVIS APPLE. qualities nro by no menus poor, yet it could not be classed as specially lino, but as an all round good variety It has popular points.

"These fabulous stories you hear." sahl a Colorado num. "of tho wonderful discoveries made and prices received for claims ia the milling regions bring back to my mind it story that used to be told in the earlier days of Colorado. "A young chap had there located a claim in which lie had every coufldeuce that ore existed, but try as lie would he was unable to locate the precious metal, and little l<y Id He ho became sicker and sicker at heart until at length there came a day whose closing was marked by clean discouragement on liis part. Mis last piece of bacon was eaten, his last stick of gunpowder tired and his credit utterly used up. Still he believed the ore to* lie there, but he recognized the utter ftyility ou his part of trying further to get at it. Lonely and out of spirits, just at sunset lie stood at the door of his cabin looking for the last time over the scene of his useless efforts, when down the winding trail came a stranger I iiainiic oi a uroncuo. iu tiio situation at a glance. the man relued in { liis cay use and called out to the lonely tigure in the cabin doorway, 'Say, pnrdner, what will you take for that played out claim of yoursV "Hope sprang up and gleamed from the miuer's eyes as lie lirmly replied: 'IMayed out nothing. It'll take $1,000,000 cold to buy me out.' "The stronger slowly gathered up the reins. Til give you $S,' he said tentatively. " 'All In cash?' queried the late prospective millionaire eagerly. "'Yep.' was the response. " 'The claim's yours,' ou the part cf the mine owner closed the transaction."?New York Tribune. SAM HOUSTON'S SECRET. Why lip I.eft III* Wife nn<!
