There is ludicrous habit in this coun-
try, which shows how childish some of the
people are. 1t is that of chewing gum.
l remember that Stephenson, the novelist,
in his "Silverado Squatters," mentions
that his gigantic Apollo in the foothills
chewed gum and spat. 1t is, think, a
habit imported from Missouri, or else it
was acquired among the foothills when
tobacco was scarce. But grown up

Peas
" eStern Rurat.


We are asked by correspondent if the
marrowfat pea Is good field pea. Yes,
We answer. If the soil is strong, it is a
good field pea. 1t is q large and rather
late variety. If the soil is thin, the small
yellow pea, which is largely sown in Can
ada, would do better. In the south they
sow the large COW pea. The ground
should be plowed to moderate depth
and the soil well pulverized. If sown
broadcast use two or three bushels per
acre, and cover with small pillow or a
cultivator. They are hardly covered deep
enough with harrow. The pea as a
green fodder crop is exceedingly valuable,
and farmers would find it to their advan-
vantage to give more attention to the
stock. They will grow on almost any soil,
though the better the soil the better
the crop. In England they are
grown extensively. Being a bone and
muscle forming food they are precisely
what most of the animals need. For
sheep and swine nothing can be better.
The Winter Management OF Stock.
American Farmer.
send you herewith few suggestions
ing and watering of stock in the winter
season, when we are subject to such vio-
lent and sudden changes in the tempera-
ture. To keep cattle in good, thriving
condition at such season requires care
and experience. l am wintering 35 head
of cows, heifers and yearlings, mostly
grown cattle, and in fact mostly Jerseys,
and they are all in thriving condition.
Each grown COW has regular daily ra-
| tion of two quarts of shorts and one quart
of meal.
| feed the calves one pint of meal and
one pint of shorts and all the good hay
and oats in straw they need. l change
tha feed of hay as the weather changes;
| thus, for instance, if it is cold, feed the
COWS on swale hay in the morning, and at
noon | give corn-fodder, while at night
the ration consists of hay or oats in the
| straw.
During moderate day, when it is
moist or thawing, | feed the cows once
on salt hay. Especially with young stock
! | find they relish it and do well. l keep
| them growing all winter, and they go to
grass in good condition in the spring
The proper watering of cattle is also es-
| sential to their well being. At noon
allow them to go out to the well, not
| more than two animals at a time. When
cold or stormy put them back in the
stalls at once, and when the weather is
pleasant or moderate | allow them to re-
main out for two or three hours in the
warmest part of the day.
By the above method 1 see that each
animal is watered, and at the same time
the underlings have fair chance. l
| have a fine Jersey cow, now just calved,
which l keep well housed, carrying warm
water to her twice day, with warm feed,
until the calf gets to be about ten days
old. l have never lost any COWS by in
Illumination setting in, as l have frequent
| " kno-,n to be the case with other farm
ers, III consequence of the want of proper
care in allowing the animals to drink too
much cold, freezing water. My motto is
IAN ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure
