Oats aud Peas.

We have for many years grown oats
and peas together. On good, rich land,
sown early, you can get a great mass
of fodder and grain. The drawback
in the older states is the ~rea-weevil,
The peas are affected with the '.bug,"
and we do not sell them, but feed them
out on the farm to pigs and sheep,
principally to the former. The pigs
do not object to the bugs. What the
bugs think of it is not reported. The
t~anning-mill will separate nearly all
the oats from the peas. No matter if
a few of the split peas will remain with
the oats.
If cut before the oats get too ripe
and the crop is carefully cured, the
fodder is nearly as good as hay. AS
to the variety of peas, SOW any that
you a buy cheap enough. The
seedsmen charge too much for it, or
the White or Black-eyed Marrowfat
would be good. The common Canada
creeper or any other small, round pea
answers a good purpose, and a bushel
goes farther than the larger varieties.
We mean that it is not necessary to
sow them so thick. Two bushels of
these small peas and a bushel of oats
is enough seed per acre. The marrow
fats should be sown at the rate of not
less than three bushels per acre and a
bushel to a bushel and a half of oats,
thoroughly mixed together.
Early sowing is very desirable, and
as sod can be plowed earlier in the
spring than stubble land, we prefer to
SOW On sod, putting in the seed as fast
az the land is plowed. The crop can
be drilled in or sown broadcast. If a
drill is used, keep the grain well
mixed, or the peas will be apt to sink
to the bottom. If sown broadcast and
the land is well plowed in narrow fur
rows, sow on the burrows before har-
Then harrow and roll, and
the peas will be well covered. You
can rely on that. american Agricult-

lesson of humility, of modesty, of
economy. We are no longer the lords
of creation. We have no longer a
monopoly of capital or production.
Rents and interests will fall lower
still. Unless we realize the situation,
come down from our high horse and
moderate our views of style and ex-

overtake society. We had better give

CAPT DANIEL A~RMISTEAD, aged 80,
of Virginia, has witnessed twenty
presidential inaugurations, undoubt-
edly an experience of which no other
American can boast. He remembers
that Jefferson was dressed in brown
clothes, and spoke so low hat the peo-
pie could not hear him. Madison wore
homespun, and that seemed to create
more enthusiasm than anything else.
Monroe's inaugural speech was made
from an elevated platform east of the
capitol, which was then being rebuilt.
He rode in a carriage drawn by two
white horses, followed by an immense
procession. Armistead was greatly
impressed by the Inauguration of John
Quincy Adams. Gen. Jackson, who
had been a competitor for the presiden-
cy, was also present, and he excited
great applause by his public congratu-
lation of Adams. II have never seen
any account of it," says the venerable
captain, ''but l can tell you that there
was plenty of rowdyism on that day.
Why, when Gen. jackson came for
ward and shook hands with Mr..
Adams, a man in the crowd waved his
hat, and called out: Three cheers for
Jackson!" But nothing equaled the
scenes at the Inauguration of Jackson.
1t seemed that every bully and despe-
RADIO in the United States had sud-
denly come to the capital. Ealf the
men had their trousers in their boots,
and some wore pistols in full view.
Washington was small then, and the
hotels and boarding-houses could not
hold the crowds. Every man carried
a hickory stick, and some women wore
necklaces made of small h%ickory-nuts
f%aDcifully painted. 1t was like a whole
tribe of Indians let loose on the streets
Of Washington. Gen. Jackson seemed
to enjoy these %outlandish demonstra-
He kept his hat off and smiled

pressions heard, all of which the gen.
eral smiled at" J

of badness. Any carpenter will make deal
