THE WILD PEA
Its "Value in Protein as Compared with
Other Leguiaes.
D. A. Wallace of Wallace's Farmer,
who owns a farm near Mora, has been
making some interesting experiments
with the wild pea that grows so lux
urantly in the cut-over country of
northern Minnesota. In an article in
Farm, Stock and Home, Mr. Wallace
says:
"Cattle and horses display the
greatest avidity and greediness for
the green, succulent vines. They go
through the brush beating paths and
picking up everj straj vine, leaving
good tame grass pasture to do so.
''Made into haj the peas seem
equallj palatable and nutritious, and
I have been told that all kinds of
stock will leave the very best tame
hay to pick up the dry pea vines.
Prof. P. G. Holden, \ice dean and
agronomist on the Iowa Agricultural
College, while on a short visit at our
home this summer, commented \ery
fa\orable on the seeming value of the
wild peas and beans as pasture, and
expressed the opinion that the large
varietj of pea was probably a lathj
rus, a vetch probablv vici americana.
Taking v\ ith him some of the pea hay
he kmdlj furnished the following an
alysis. Unfortunately the wild beans
at that time were not far enough ad
\anced in growth for analysis. I
quote the protein determination and
comparison with analj sis of other
leguminous crops.
HAY FROM LEGUMES

Cow-pea 10 7 16 6
Soy-bean 113 15 4
lid Pea (large) .88 15 4
Wild Pea (small) .87 15 6
It will thus be seen that in protein
the wild peas are exceedingly rich,
more so in percentage than any of the
clovers quoted, even the much lauded
alfalfa. The analysis of cow-peas and
soy beans seems quite similar to that
of the wild pea.
'It seems to me that plants of the
evident value of these wild peas and
beans should have a permanent place
in agricultural operation, providing
they will stand civilizing.
I am looking for information and
have only the locality here to judge
from, I would like to know if the ex
perience of others adds to or contra
dicts anjthing I ha\e stated."
A WARM NOVEMBER.
Fir st Eighteen Days of this November
Break Record for Agreeable Weather.
The first eighteen days of Novem
ber this year havp been warmer in
Minnesota than any corresponding
period in the past fourteen years, for
which records are available at the
local weather bureau. The lowest
temperature reached this year between
Nov. 1 and 18, inclusive, was 24 de
grees. In all former years a lower
minimum temperature was touched.
The records show that from Nov.
1 to 18, 1891, there were six days on
which the temperature was lower than
24 degrees, the lowest this year. For
the same period 1892 eight days
were colder: in 1893, the number was
four: 1894, it was seven: in 1895,people
three, in 1896, eight 1897, four in
1898, three: in 1899, one: in 1900,ably
eight: in 1901, ten in 1902. one: and
last jear, four.
The minimum temperatures reached
from Nov. 1 to 18, inclusive, during
the past fourteen ears, are as fol
lows. In 1891, four degrees below
zero on the 18th: in 1892, nine degrees
on the 8th: in 1893, ten daegrees on
the 18th in 1894, six degrees on the
18th in 1895, eleven degrees on the
loth: in 1896, seven degrees on the
14th in 1897, fifteen degrees on the
16th in 1898.. nineteen dergees on the'
10th in 1899, twenty-three degrees on
the 17th in 1900, eight degrees on the
15th in 1901, twelve degrees on the
17th: in 1902, twenty-one degrees on
the 10th: last year, four degrees on
the 18th and this year, twenty-four
degrees on the 11th.
In point of maximum temperatures
the weather bureau records show that
there were two warmer days in form
er years. This year the highest tem
perature reached between Nov. 1 and
18, inclusive, was sixty-nine degrees
on the 3d. In 1893 the mercury
touched seventy-three degrees on the
6th, and in 1897 the thermometer regis
tered seventy degrees on the 3d.
For the past eighteen days the im
mediate northwest in the vicinity of
Minneapolis has been treated by the
weather men, or, as they modestly
prefer to have it expressed, by nature
or the elements, with special consid
eration. In other parts of the coun
try warm weather phenomena has not
been especially startling.
While the people of Minnesota were
enjoying temperatures in the neigh
borhood of sixty-nine degrees last
week, the New Englanders living at
Northfield, Vt., were working off the
effects of two degrees below zero
weather. This temperature was theters
first zero weather in the United States
this fall, a distinction that helped
somewhat the feelings of the North
field people.Minneapolis Times.
Potato Growing.
The Weekly Chronicle of San Fran
cisco tells of a Chinaman who pays
$5,340 rent, or $12 per acre for 445
mm
acres of land upon Robert Island, for
the purpose of growing potatoes.
Allie samee Melican man" with
capital and brians 'he does not do
much labor himself, but employs
some sixty or seventy of his country
men to do the work for him. It'is
estimated that he will make $30,000
profit this year above all expenses.
There are five Chinese companies
and five Italians growing potatoes on
this Island, and they are each ex
pected to make immense profits this
ear. Altogether they cultivate
about three thousand acres of pota
toes. And yet the Chronicle says
that the potatoes from this island are
not considered equal in quality to
those grown in some other sections
which are, perhaps, less productive.

lN'DIiN SIMMER.
Caused "Aerial Oulf Stream" Gene
rated in Tropical Seas.
In an interesting article on ''Indian
Summer," which we are now enjoying,
the Scientific American says:
This period annually beautifies the
/ione running through New England
and Canada westward to Lakes Mich
igan and Superior, thence southwest
ward to Kansas and Nebraska and,
including Minnesota, the Dakotas,
Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Washing
ton, Oregon and Northern California,
northwestward over British America
to the Arctic Circle. While it does not
extend into the lower limits of the
United States it is referred to by two
or three of the historians of Mexico.
'Formerly the smokiness and the
somewhat greater degree of warmth
were thought to be caused by moun
tain fire for the burning of the vege
table decidua collected in the autumn
for that purpose. The haze and in
creased warmth are due to the annual
formation of what has been termed
the "aerial Gulf Stream or'"vapor
plane." This high current gener
ated equatorial seas by ascending
masses of vapor-charged air flows
north ward through the upper atmos
phere oversweeps the southern and
gulf states and descends toward the
earth or ocean as it approaches New
England and Canada on its journey
toward the polar circle. In the after
noon and night when the earth throws
off the heat received during the day
especially in the autumn weeks when
the temperatures is declining and the
capacity of the air to retain moisture
is on the decrease the presence of this
mantle of vapor arrests radiation.
The heat absorbing power of this
"blanket of aqueous vapor" has been
clearly demonstrated by Prof. Tyn
dall. Covering the remaining vegeta
tion and the harvests as with a shield
it protracts the grain-ripening period
to meet the necessities of the higher
latitudes."
PARSING O THE HOME.
Gloomy 1 lew of the Development of Mod
ern City T.lfe.
The passing of the home is the
saddest phenomenon of modern city
life. The tenement housewhich we
seek to disguise under the name of
"flat"is a most wretched substitute
for the humblest of homes. That our
endure them is an indication
of degeneracy, as it will unquestion
be the cause of a more rapid
descent. It is morally certain that
the vigor of the race can be main
tained only by personal contact with
the mother earth from which we
sprang, which nourishes and sustains
us while we live and which receives us
to her bosom when we die. Why this
is perhaps no one knows, but it is
within the knowledge or all that the
vigor of the city is constantly re
cruited from country life. To deprive
children of daily contact with the soil
is a sin.
The evil of the tenement house was
not realized until it passed from the
slums, because few of us know how the
other half lives. It is perhaps not so
desperate a misfortune to those who
live by manual labor, for ithey get
their contact with earth in other
ways, and their children, less vexed
by the conventions of society, and
access to the soil by some means and
pass, .while still young, to the occupa
tions of their parents. The most
terrible effect of the tenement house
is in the families of the "salaried"
class as distinguished from the
"wage-earners," and who flit from
flat to flat, seldom remaining long
enough anywhere for home associa
tions to be formed. There can per
haps be no home associations worthy
of the name which are not connected
with a piece of open ground in the
sole possession of the family. It
would seem that in our largest cities
this privilege can no longer be en
joyed except by the rich.San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

An Anoka County Township Ofticer in
Trouble.
THE PBINCETO^ UNIOK: THTJBSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1904.
A LESSON FOR OTHERS.'
A decisionary Judge C. L. Brown of
the State supreme court, affirms the
judgment of the Anoka county court
in convicting Daniel Peebles, a town
ship officer of Blaine, in that county.
A writ of quo warranto issued by the
supreme court some weeks ago is re
turnable Nov. 23, and the adverse de
cision of the court, it is said, will re
sult in ousting Peebles from the office
of township supervisor, which he now
holds.
Peebles was convicted of presenting
a fraudulent claim against the town
ship as a public officer. He was
charged with having, as chairman of
the town board, caused the issuance
of two certain orders, aggregating
$80.75, in favor of a third party, for
work done on highways in excess of
the amount appropriated for the work
which he superintended. The orders
were cashed through a bank and the
money turned over to the beneficiaries.
The district court found Peebles guilty
and fined him $200. He appealed and
pending the appeal he was re-elected.
Then the attorney general permitted
the use of his name to a writ of quo
warranto by which it was attempted to
oust Peebles from office. He pleaded
his appeal as a bar to the latter pro
ceeding, but with the affirmation of
the lower court his defense seems to
have crumbled away.
The supreme court in affirming the
lower court, holds that the ofiense
complained of constituted presenting
a false and fraudulent claim against
the county.
Found His Folks."
Joel Chandler Harris recently told
friends of the experience of an old
southern darky who went to Philadel
phia where he thought he might better
his fortune.
After a week of walking up and
down the old chap found himself
forced to solicit charity. This he did
by going from house to house.
"Ef you please" he would begin
when his ring had been answered
"give a po'culud man some work to
do or sumthin' to eat."
The reply was invariably: "Very
sorry but we have nothing for you."there
Finally the old man rang the bell
of a prosperous-looking house and a
man, evidently the master thereof,
came to the door.
"Boss" appealed the aged darkey
"I'se starvin' can't yo' give me some
vittles?"
At this the man at the door gave
evidence of great rage. "You darn
black kinky-haired rascal!" shouted
he. "How dare you ring the bell at
my front door? Go in at the back,
and the cook will give you something
you dingy-faced"
But here the old darky interrupted
the man by falling on his knees and
exclaiming in heartfelt tones:
"Thank Gawd, I'se foun' my
ownaffords
people at las'! Thank Gawd. I done
foun' my own white folks!"Cleve
land Leader.
A Green Wo rm in Cabbage.
A Spirit Lake, Iowa, paper has the
following to say that may be of inter
est to cabbage consumers: "It would
be well for the people to examine
closely all cabbage before cooking it
this fall. Many heads of cabbage are
said to contain a small green snake,
about the size of a hair and almost
invisible. Charley Newton of Dick
ens, found one of these green reptiles
in a cabbage the other day. Persons
eating the cabbage containing these
worms are made very sick, and sev
eral deaths have occurred in Iowa this
fall as a result of eating cabbage
containing these worms. The state
authorities have taken the matter in
hand, and as a protection to the peo
ple have ordered the sauer kraut fac
tories in the southern part of Iowa
shut down. We also understand that
the sale of kraut has been prohibited
in Des Moines." The Retort Discourteous.
The following conversation was said
to have been overheard by an Osage
citizen who recently visited in the
Saintly City: An Irishman was sit
ting in a smoker's seat in a street car
in St. Paul the other day, when a
woman sitting down remarked: "Sir.
if you were a gentleman, you wouldn't
smoke in here." "Mum," he said,
"Ifyezwas a lady, ye'd go up in
front." Pretty soon the woman burst
out, "If you were my husband I'd give
you poison." "Well, mum," re
turned the Irishman as he puffed away
at his pipe, "If yez was my woife I'd
take it. "Exchange.
Disastrous Wrecks.
Carelessness is responsible for many
a railway wreck and the same causes
are making human wrecks of sufferers
from throat and lung troubles.' But
since the advent of Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption, Coughs

be cured, and hopeless resignation is
no longer necessary. Mrs. Lois
Cragg of Dorchester, Mass., is one of
many whose life was saved by Dr.
King's New Discovery. This great

Origin of "Buildosing."
"To bulldose" is to give a dose of
bull (whip), a hiding, i. e., a (cow)
hiding with a strip of untanned hide
made into a whip. Hence, in politi
cal slang, it has come to mean to
coerce or intimidate, but not neces
sarily with the use of violence. The
word originated in Louisiana with the
Union Rights leagues (negro), whose
enthusiasm on the suffrage question
led them to form oathbound societies,
which scrutinized closely the politics
of disaffected brethren, and if any
nergo was found voting, or was sus
pecting of an intention to vote the
Democratic ticket, he was first warned
and then flogged (bulldosed). The
spelling of the original word has been
changed to "bulldoze."
New Corn is Scarce.
A market report in the Commercial
West says: "Not much new corn is
on the market. In many communities
not enough has been husked to supply
local demands. Grain men believe
will not be any large quantity
of corn on sale for three months
yet. The farmers have no surplus
this year, and the only thing that
makes it possible for the southwest to
supply any corn at all for the outside
demand this year is the large diminu
tion in the amount of cattle feeding to
be done. The cattemen are not ship
ping in "feeders" this fall, because
according to present conditions to
feed them would be a dead loss."
The Best Liniment.
"Chamberlain's Pain Balm is con
sidered the best liniment on the mar-
ket," write Post & Bliss of Georgia,
Vt. No other liniment will heal a cut
or bruise so promptly. No other
such quick relief from rheu
matic pains. No other is so valuable
for deep seated pains like lame back
and pains in the chest. Give this
liniment a trial and become acquaint
ed with its remarkable qualities and
you will never wish to be without it.

An Early Census.
The finding of a rare old census
document of St. Louis county, for the
year 1865, is a recent discovery in the
office of the county treasurer. At
that time the county had a population
of 292 souls. It is likely one of the
documents upon which J. Proctor
Knott based his eulogistic address
upon the Zenith city a few years later.
