spoils. It is not thought best t.
allow the vines to dry-indeed som'
farmers store them away as soon al
wilted. However we doubt thu
wisdom of this plan.
Another plan is to drive poles two
or three inches in diameter and si1
or seven feet long into the ground
quite firmly. The stakes are placed
in pairs at convenient distances
throughout the field and set two OF
three feet apart. The vines are then
pulled by the roots and piled be-
tween the stakes to the top. The
vines are left in this position from
one to two weeks, and it is claimed
that they will keep in splendid order
for an indefinite time and retain
their leaves. The vines are placed
loosely between the stakes, not
packed.
A very successful Mississippi farm
er allows his vines to remain on the
ground where cut for about half a
day, then puts up into small cocks,
which after two or three days are
doubled, throwing two or three small
ones together; these are allowed to
stand few days and heat up, when
they are hauled in and stored away
as ordinary hay.
This farmer, by the way, first
plants corn thick in rows, and after
it has fair start sows peas, and cuts
both together. He claims the corn
adds to the quality of the hay, and
aids in keeping it in good order, as
the corn stalks mixed with the vines
makes the ventilation more perfect.
Of course it is best if you can so
cure the vines that they will retain
their leaves, but it is not at all es-
sential, as the vines and pods con-
tain sufficient nutriment to make the
hay a most valuable article of food.
We know of an instance where a
farmer in one Of the Southern States
lost his corn crib and it's contents by
fire. Fortunately he had saved an
immense quantity of pea vine hay,
and on this hay, which we think had
not retained single leaf, he had
kept three mules and two horses in
fine order during three months OF
one Of the hardest winters that sec
ton had ever known.

Pea Vine Hay.

From the Florida Agricultural.
A subject of paramount Importance
to the people of section or state
can never become hackneyed. Forage
is such question in Florida, and for
that reason we propose to "keep
everlastingly at it" until our people
cease the ruinous practice of send
ing the money they receive from
oranges, vegetables and other crops to
the North to pay their hay bills.
We think and hope that during the
month just past that thousands of
pounds of crab grass hay have been
saved in Florida. Still this is not
sufficient, more will be needed to
supply the demand, and our people
must look to their never failing friend
the luxuriant pea vine.
In all probability the rainy sea-
son is now about over, and if the
peas were planted early they will
now be ready for cutting for hay.
There are many plans suggested
but in any event the vines should
not be cut until the pea pods are full
and have commenced to ripen.
No definite time of course can be
stated for curing the hay. Peas
planted early are perhaps ready to
begin operations on now, while those
planted late may not be ready to cut
for quite long time. However, the
to-be hay-maker should watch hi
ps and as, and when the vines are
ready, avail himself Of every oppor
tunity offered by the weather CLERK
to make his hay while the sun shines
AS before said many plans of curing
the vines are recommended auC
practiced. A plan quite popular
throughout the southern states is Il
pull the vines and place them il
wind-rows where they are allowed t.
remain until the dew has evaporatet
the next day. They are then placed
in piles about shoulder high ant
four or FIVE feet in diameter at tn,
base. They are left in these pile
until the next day or longer if desired

Ibut found none. The way it lookl
now q field of tobacco can be planted
much later than many have been in
the habit of doing. Our one acre
and a half was planted from June
26 to 20 and we are cutting ripe
stalks from it daily. Not half of it
was in the barn August Is.
You will probably think your to-
bacco is cured before it is. All the
moisture must be evaporated from
the stem ofthe leaf. Be sure that
the stem is perfectly dry before a
stalk is stripped. When perfectly
certain take it down the first day and
commence work. Under no circum-
stances should it be handled unless in
low or high case.
If your tobacacco is good and you
desire it to 60 into case open all VEN
tilation you have during gentle
rain or damp night.
Bulk your tobacco prior to strip
ping it from the stalk. After bulked
or piled up lay some loose boards on
top, gently pressing them down so
that it will rewain in case.
If all of us were in shape this
year we should have tobacco farms
with four rows ventilators on each
side, arranged SO that the air would
strike between the courses, then if
the crop was curing too fast close
them during the day and open at
night, letting in the cool, moist air.
Many claim the slower the crop is
cured the more valuable it is. Show
ers causes it to retain the gum and
be more pliable. In all events keep
light from it.
Thus far we have had no weather
that would bring about mould.
When there is danger build small
fires Of dry oak wood and be sure
there is no smoke going up and
through the hanging stalks. The
lower tiers as the ones that will
mould first. Examine them each
day when damp weather comes.
When your tobacco is bulked,
ready for stripping, examine it often
and see that it does not go into too
violent a sweat, especially if the
stalks are very large and thrifty and
contain an undue amount of sap. If
by squeezing the leaves and letting
go gently they remain stuck togeth-
er, go stripping at once. If the
weather is medium, neither too wet
nor to dry, tobacco can remain in
the position above described long
time. If too dry, it will make trou-
BILE to get it in case again; if too
wet, there is great danger Of mould.
Don't tie tobacco into hands when
bulking. Have boxes ready and put
the butts outward, leaving a two-inch
space all around the box, this let's
steam and sweat escape.
"When tobacco comes from the
poles or sticks then is the critical
time with the Crop" said and old
grower to US the other day. He
referred to the Cuba tobacco and
said it was liable to 60 off into a
high sweat. He advised stripping
when the leaves were barely dry
enough to be handled without
breaking or tearing. Never put over
eight hundred pounds into a box at
any one time.

angry at the intrusion, dashed the
crumbling shores with a ferceness

country at every swash.
The great steamboat with its pre-
cious cargo of human lives, mess
pork, hides, furniture and agricultur-
al implements, was full of life and
gaiety. High rose the spirits Of the
passengers. The supper tables had
been cleared away, but in the faint
odors that still pervaded the long
and elegant saloon of the Lone Peli-
can there fingered grateful reminis-
cences of the sumptuous banquet.
Myriads of cut glass pendants re-
flected the light from the chandeliers,
and twinkled and danced merrily to
the music Of the paddle wheels that
churned the water in obedience to
the impulse of the great engines,
whose ceaseless throb proclaimed the
mighty steamer thing of life. And
the white and gilded mirrors that
stretched away in gorgeous perspec-
tive, reflected the twinkling lig hts
and mirrored, as we'll, the happy faces
of the throng that fingered within,
while along the wide promenade out

the moonstruck.

dense, black cloud of smoke from the
tall smokestacks. Far ahead pierced
the vision of the keen-eyed pilot

and skill guided the floating palace

chug-chug OF the engines and the
tremulous beating of the paddle
wheels disturbed the reposeful still
ness that brooded over all.

BALLARD COUNCILS WORK.
Murphy and the Electric Franchise
Amateur Detective Gale.

AT q regular meeting of the city council of
Ballard last evening a petition for an electric
light franchise by s. D. Murphy and others was
for the third time brought forward. Council
man Dow objected to granting the franchise on
the ground that no city officer could be directly
or indirectly interested in any contract with the
city without rendering himself liable to prose-
cut.on Tor a misdemeanor, and as 8. ID. Aur-
ply was CITY treasurer, Mr. Dow thought
the council could not grant the franchise without
being party TO the commission OF q misde-
meanor. The subject was referred TO the city
attorney, who said he was not prepared TO say
whether or not the fact that city official owned
stock in corporation, which held franchise
from the city, would be sufficient indirect in
terest to constitute q misdemeanor and there
fore was granted further time to consider the
point Mr.. Murphy afterwards withdrew his
petition.
