NEW ‘FORAGE PLANT.
ld-nho Pen Grows on Almost Any Kind
of Sol i, But Prefers a
Heavy Loam.
For several years a Ieguminous plant,
bearing the name of gram. chick-pea
and Idaho pea has been highly spoken
of as a fodder plant for the northwest.
The introducer claims that it is a new
species of pea. The United States de-
partment of agriculture. through its
division of agrostology (Circular No.
7) states that this is an old plant known
in Europe for centuries. It has been
introduced into India, where 5,000,000
acresare now devoted to its \' culture.
The seed is used in that. country for fat-
tening sheep and cattle. The chemical
analysis shows that it. contains 20 per
cent. of crude protein. 4 per cent. of fat,
and 59 per cent. of carbohydrates.
which is npprpximately .the composi-
tion of field peas grown in the northern
states.
Whether or not the pea will be of
great value in the United States re—
mains to be seen. Plats have been

grown in the gardens at Washington
and in various other localities. Reports
concerning it are not very favorable
excepting from some‘parts ofColorado,
Wyoming. Utah. Idaho and Montana.
Newspaper reports give very high
yields in the Rocky Mountain regions.
but in lndia it has not exceeded in any
case 25 bushels per acre under most.
favorable conditions and any yields
above this must be substantiated be-
fore they can be accepted. If the crop
can be made to yield 25 bushels per
acre Agrostologist Smith thinks that
it will be a valuable addition to western
forage crops, but until still further
trials are made he advises the western
farmer to be careful about investing
much money in seed or devoting much
land to its culture.
The plant is sensitive to cold, conse-
quently the seed must not be sown un-
til the middle of May or the first of
June. It will grow on almost any kind
of. soil, but prefers heavy loams. It
may prove valuable as a winter cr0p in.
the southern states, on land which is
unsuited. to vetches and crimson clover.
It requires only amoderate amount of
moisture. In common with all legu-
mlnous plants it has the power of ab-
sorbing nitrogen from the air and stor-
ing it up in the soil, and consequently
it is a good plant’for soil renovation.—

Tlmt Is One Reason Why No Stallion
Should Be Condemned to Sol-
' Illll'y Confinement.
So stallion, no matter what offense
he may have been guilty of, should be
condemned to solitary confinement,
says the Horseman. Put him in some
cheery stall where he may hear what
is going on, see other horses and men
and generally live the life of other
horses on the farm. Don’t shut him
away by himself so that he will hear
or see nothing all day. There is no
surrrr way to make a horse cross, no
surer way to teach him bad habits and
tricks that lessen his value and impair
his usefulness and vitality. No, far
from. keeping the stud all by himself,
have a wire-protected window in his
stall so placed that he can see what
is going on, hear the voice of man and
enjoy the society of the chickens and
cats and feel that he is verily one of
the stock family on the premises. If
more than one stallion is kept on the
farm, build them a house by themselves,
' not away in one corner, but up where
it is handy to get to them and leave
an open space barred with irou be-
tween them in the partition that di-
vides their slalls. Through this space
they will converse together, in all prob-
ability tell each other their woes, and
if anyone will take the trouble to watch
unseen the procedure of a pairof stal-
lions thus housed, he will see them with
their noses at the aperture in thefipar-
‘. tition more than half the time.‘ If
lhlltl provided for. they will never get
lonely. Who shall say that horses can-
norca rry on some sort of conversation
in their own way? They may not. be
able to do so. but they dearly love com-
pany and they must have it.
The Hos-so In History.
The horse appears in the beginning
of all history. He is referred to in the
llible. Homer. the Vedas. the earliest.
wall pictures of Egypt. and the recent-
ty discovered literature of early Baby-
lon and Akkad. in the ancient years
' he appeared to have been more of an
aristocrat than to-day. His first use
was for war; his second, for carrying
king-s. prieSts and warriors. All the
‘ heavy and hard work-was done by the
,ox. and-,the men’i-alvlabor. by the doc.-
key.—Rural‘ World.

{this A'i’iio'R'NV CHIEF;
Aguinaldo Has a Wonderful Control
Over His Followers.
A Personal Sketch Written by Ray-
mond Reyes Lala, :1 Highly Edn-
caged Filipino—How He Became
a Revolutionist.
Gen. Emilio Agui'naldo y Famy, the
president of the Filipinos, is little more
than 30 years of age. He was born in
Imus, a little village near Cavite. His
father was a planter, and the son was
sent first to t-he-College'of St. Jean de'
Lateran, then to the University of St.‘
Thomas in Manila. The youth’s educa-.
tion cost the father much privation, for
the cost of pursuing- a course of study:
at Iuhese institutions is not less than
1,200 frencsa year, and the elder Aguin-
aldo had great difficulty to make both
ends meet.
At St. Jean de Iateran the student is
drilled: in Spanish and Latin and the
classics; and when he is able to trans-
late the masterpieces of Rome. with
facility, .111: is ready for the. University
of St. Thomas. This, like the college, is
under the Dominicans. ' -
Aguinaldo was adjudged a very dull
student, and1 gave no promise of dis-
tinction. Iii-fact, the Dominicans final-
ly sent him home in sheer despair.
Aguinaldo then entered: the normal
school of the Jesuits. Here he made
some progress; but. at this time his‘ fa-
ther died, when the youth-was forced
to return home tote. ke cure of his patri«
mony, which was threatened by the
lawsuits instituted by the Order ”of the
Ite‘collectos—an organization composed
- of the greatest land proprietors- of the
colony.
It was in 1893 that Dr. Rizal created
the Philippine league, the object of
which was to unite politically the vari-
ous parts of the archipelago. Rizal was
banished, but shortly afterward the
Order of Katipunan was formed, which
soon had more than 250,000 members.
The object of this society was coopera-
tion for the protection of the colonists.
' The government, then fearing an alli-
ance. of this society with the Free
. Masons and.- t-he various secret orders
EMILIO AGUINALDO.
(Leader of the Philippine Island Revolu-
ttonlsts.)
hostile to manis-h rule began to take
active measures against it. Aguinaldto.
was suspected of being one of the
leaders. A Spanish officer, with a squad
of native soldier—s, came to arrest him;
Aguimtkd'o, when confronted by the ofii-
cer, promptly shot him, then eloquently
appealed to his companions to leave the
service of their foreign oppress-ore and
strike a blow for liberty. '
The soldiers received his words with
acclaim, and instantly chose him as
their leader. He then sought the fast-
nesses of the forest, where he was soon
joined by thousands of his country—
men.
Aguinaldpo is short of stature, with a
well-knit figure. He has the Japanese
cast of face and wears ablack pompo—
dvour, which heightens that impression.
His countenance is imperturbsble; it is
notable for its serious expression. Dur-
ing the rebellion he was in hotlrly fear
.cf assassination, for a reward of $25,000
had. been. offered by the Spaniards for
his head. and this prize had brought
int-o his camp a host. of mercenaries
seeking a convenient opportunity to
gain the coveted reward. He has una-
bounded influence with “his country—
men, and no one betrayed him or at-
tempted to make an assault upon his
life for the reward. -
The headquarters of Aguin alduo were
in the former house of a rich native of
Cavite. With him were his stafi and his
mother and several of his relatives.
These he kept with him to secure them
from Spanish vengeance. In front of
the broad, roomy house is a paved
court, and on each side a trusted num-
ber of stalwart insurgents constantly
kept guard. The uniform of these 501-,
diers isa cheap native home-spun; their
arms are of the crudest- description; but
they made up in loyalty what they
lacked in training.
The general himself usually wore a
spotless suit of white linen, a white
shirt. with a Well-polished front, a high
collar and a black necktie. He were
red velvet slippers, embroidered in gold.
b‘In his office were a modern desk. piled
high with documents; a large mirror,
two large, stron iron boxes, which
served as a safe r the moneys of the
insurgent government, and a” grand
piano of Spanish make. Against a hat-
rack leaned the rebel standard, and on
the wall hung a map of the’ province.
This the general used- to scan eagerly,
tracing the movements and disposition
of is troops. , .

about the Ina-n. and whenever be ad;-
