Peas and Oats for Feed.

This combined crop needs the land
to be well cultivated after blowing.
We have seen excellent crops on sod
as for corn. The oats are sown with
the peas and enables 1.-THE crop to be
cat with the reaper. The seed is gen
orally mixed, two of peas and ore Of
oats to the acre. They are best sown
with the drlll, which covers best
Oats with stiff straw should be select
ed.
The field pea is ready to cut before
oats, but you must cut when the pea
is ready. The pea must not be allow
ed to get quite ripe, for it shells very
easily, and you may find the best part
of the crop shelled out on the ground.
When the pod begins to change color
at the top of the vine, cut the crop at
once, and do this when the dew is on
in the morning. Better err in cutting
a little early than late.
AS to the seed, the best comes from
Canada. Field peas are easily obtain
ed at any OF the cities near the Can :
ada border, and the price is usually
from 81 to Sl.15. Seedmen would

western cities or town.
This combined crop, when good, is
valuable for'many purposes Of feed
ing; and when cut at just the right
time, the straw is about as nutritious
as hay. We have often raised it as a
soiling crop for mich cows, and it
largely promotes the flow Of milk.
1t is cut for soiling when the pea pod
has fairly formed, and before all is fed
the green peas will have formed
We have found this profitable crop
whether fed green or threshed for the

many of our rich men turn fancy
farmers. They feel the craving for
nature. A. 3. Darling, the opulent
proprietor of the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
for instance, has a farm in the
Ramapo valley, where he raises the
finest Jsrseys. one of which is valued
at SIS, 600. To run this farm Froba

can afford the luxury, and hence Is
entitled to it. Pierre Lorillard has an
extensive farm at Jobstown, where

be mentioned. Speaking Of Jerseys,
the Jersey mania has evidently seen

Cut to Pieces.
Galesburg Register.

A terrible accident befell Mr..
Samuel Armstrong, who lived several
miles northwest OF the city, Monday
morning. Mr.. Armstrong was cutting
cornstalks with an Avery stalk-cutter
One of the horses of the team was
young ana somewhat fractions. The
horses became frightened and started
to run away. Mr.. Armstrong finding
himself unable to hold them, attempts
I'd to get off the machine, and IN do
ing so was in some manner caught by
the rapidly revolving knives. One
account has it that he tried to get off
backward, and that as he was doing
this one of the knives struck one of
his heels. He was drawn down among
the knives. The horses ran quite a
ways, but were finally stopped by the
winding of the lines around the hub
and and axle.
The brother of the unfortunate man
and another party, who were IN a
field near by blowing, saw the mishap
and FASTENED to the spot. Mr.. Arm
strong's condition was indescnbable.
He had been drawn in as far as the
hips, ana seemed lne&JrlcaDly entang-
led. The stalk-cutter had to be knock
ed to pieces to effect his release, which
proved a loug and delicate operation.
One foot was nearly cut off. The
bones OF both legs were broken ia
several places. TIE flesh from foot to
hlp was hacked and slashed terribly.
In some spots the bones were LAID bare.
The sufferer was tenderly conveyed to
his mothers home and medical assist
ance Immediately summoned. DIR.
Stewart, from Monmouth, and Drs.
Hopper and Hoover frem this city.
In spite of the terrible nature of the
injuries sustained Mr.. Armstrong was
able to converse some. The shock to
his system, however, was too severe.
He did not rally. His death occurred
at an early hour Tuesday morning.

Roll the Corn.

In closing q lengthy article discus.
sing the question why corn rots ia the
ground, DR.. Il. Lewis Sturtevant,
director of the New York Experiment
at Geneva, N. Y. says:
In this matter of seed corn, we may
sum up the conclusion gained by ex-
pertinent and experience as follows
1st. Kiln-dried seed. or seed dried al
temperature of so degrees, perhaps
more, is preferable to seed from the
bin. ID. That every farmer can al
ford TO exercise the almost care to
avoid selecting moldy seed, or seed
from a moldy lot of corn. Sd. Tia.
conpacting the soil over the seed as
planted, it being presumed that the
soil is in a tjt condition for planting,
will be found to compensate in part
for inferior quality of seed, and with
the best seed often will, under certain
conditions of soil and climate, become
an important factor toward obtaining
the full stand which accompanies
maximum crops"
At d session of the Walworth Coun
ty Farmers club, Mr.. N. p. Hand
read a paper on corn and its cultiva
ton, in which he made the following
points;
1t IS not necessary taat / SHOULD
give you minute instructions for the
cultivation of corn, as you all know
as much and, perhaps, more about il
than do; but it may be that car
warn you against the mistakes which
some of us have made. Do not plan
Kansas seed, but rather use seec
which you know to be adapted to this
latitude and the soil of your particular
neighborhood; Do not plant any seeC
unless a sample has been tested tt
prove that it viii grow.
Do not allow horses or other ami
mails to tread upon the land intend
ed for corn when the land is wet
haId Jumps of earth will not produce
corn. Do lot plant too deep, espec
tally on clay soil. From ore to two
inches is deep enough, Do mot plant
to much seed in a hill: three or foui
kernels are better than more. Corr
and weeds have been known to grow
is the same field, close together; il
fact good corn land is well adapted
to produce weeds. Now the duty Of
the farmer is plain.-kill the weeds
and let the corn grow.
Late in the season do not cultivate
deep close TO the corn, as root pruning
will not benefit the corn. When the
corn is grown, and the crop harvest
ed do not sell it or feed it all to The
hogs, but feed a portion to other stock
on the farm, and thereby make more
manure for future crops
In conclusion | would say that auy
piece of land which has been wei
fitted for and has produced gooC
crop of corn is then in condition t.
/ produce any other crop; hence, by {
judicious rotation of crops, a farmer
may see his whole farm gro wing more
