Summer Feeding.

1t is only in exceptional cases that it
will be best to fatten any kind OF stock
during the next six weeks or two months.
One Of the essential items in fattening
stock of any kind is to have them COM
Portable, and this cannot always be done
TO tho best advantage at this time. An
animal may readily be kept in good
thrifty condition in summer, but if made
fat is certain to suffer more or less from
the heat andof course will do as we'll as
it should.
Generally the better plan is to feed
sufficiently to keep in good, thrifty con-
dition, giving the ration that will best
secure good growth and development
at this time, and then later on when the
animal is more matured short time of
heavy feeding will be all that is neces-
sary properly to fatten for market. In
this way one may be ready to avail him
self Of the early fall market to better
advantage and with less trouble than in
any other way.
Sheep may be fattened on grass so as
to market them at any time from now on,
especially wethers and ewes.
During the summer, in many cases, is
the best time to market this kind of
stock. Old COWS are another class of
stock that, as rule, is not profitable to
feed grain in order to fatten for market.
They should be put in as good condition
as possible with good pasturage an then
marketed when this condition has been
reached.
But in nearly all cases with young cat
tie and hogs it will pay to finish with
good feeding of fattening ration for at
least short time before sending to
market.
But with cattle, as this hot, dry weather
comes on, in many cases it will be neces.
sary to feed something to make up what
the pastures will lack. AS the weather
gets hot and dry the grass in the pastures
will begin to fail, and something must be
given to make this up. Cut clover, millet,
sorghum or corn can be used. The
quantity that should be given can best be
determined by the condition of the stock !;
enough must be given to keep thrifty.
With hogs, no difference how good the
pasturage some grain or rich slop can al.
ways be fed with profit. This may be
oats, shipstuff, barley, oilmeal, cornmeal
or a combination of two or three Of these
made into good slop with skim milk.
Let it stand twelve hours, taking care not
to allow it to get too sour.
By feeding literally in this way during
the hot weather, short, heavy feed with
good tattening ration is all that will be
necessary to prepare for market.
Provide good shade, give plenty of
water and let the stock be as comfortable
as possible during the hot weather and
they will keep healthier and grow faster
and be ready to fatten earlier in the fall.

Cutting Pea Vines.

There seems to be to my mind mis-
taken idea as to the proper time for cut
ting peavines. Most writer's on the
subject advocate cutting when the pea Is
in full bloom This is no doubt the time
at which the vines would make the most
tender and palatable hay, provided one
only had such quantity as he could cure
under shelter; but it is next to impos-
sible to cure large quantity of peavines
cut at this stage unless we have an uE-
usually fair spell OF weather, and this we
can never bank on in August. Ny ex-
perience teaches me it is best to wait
until the pods begin to ripen before cut
ting the vines, when they will cure much
more easily and rapidly. The hay will
not be altogether SO tender and juicy as
when cut little earlier, but think they
have lost nothing IN nutritious value.
Highly fed milch cows will not eat them
quite so greedily, but mules will eat them
Just as we'll, and will do better on them
than when cut before the peas are on.
The Unknown pea, sown this month,
will be ready for cutting in September,
when we can reasonably count on fair
weather for most of the time. Cut in the
forenoon, after the dew is off, and rake
up and cock in the afternoon. No kind
of forage should have more sun than is
absolutely necessary for saving it. Make
the peavines at first into small high
cocks, and in three or four days into
larger ones, by putting four or five of the
smaller into one. In this shape they can
remain until ready for putting into the
barn.
I have adopted new method of sowing
peas this summer, which think l will
like. l plow the peas with a square
pointed scooter, and harrow smooth with
the Thomas harrow. [ like this better
than breaking land with turn>plow and
narrowing peas with acme harrow. An
other reason which was not considered in
what was previously said, is this: |
always SOW the peas myself, and in this
way I can walk on the unplowed ground
| in sowing the seed, while in the other you
have to foot it over the fresh plowed
land.-iSouthern CgltiUator.

THE SHORT STORY UP TO DATE.

The following gem Is submitted as an
imitation of the prevalent American
imitation of the French short story:
They had been so happy.
He thought OF those rosy days by the
seaside, those dreamy walks in the
wood, and of that first ecstatic kiss.
All That kiss He rememb ered how
in that delirious moment OF psychic In
toxication, when their very souls rushed
to their lips and commingled, how the
crescent moon had whirled and danced
before his tears-of-ioy-5edimmed eyes,
until it took the semblance OF a pin
wheel in the throes Of epilepsy.
And now the end had come. The end
of all.
She loved another.
He wandered to the woodshed. An
object struck his gaze.
1t was the meat axe.
An awful thought took possession of
him and scared itself into his plastic
soul.
As one in dream he took the awful
weapon from the wall and STROBE TO the
grindstone. He placed the axe upon
the stone. His foot fell on the treadle,
and the insensate disk OF grit began to
revolve as of its own volition.
It's sibilant, savage, serpent-llke hiss
was music to his ear.
Plucking hair from the magnificent
brow mustache that she had once loved,
he tested the edge of the horrible In.
strument of fate.
The test was satisfactory.
He strobe to the trysting place.
Twas to be their last meeting.
She came. Her lips wore the same
false, sweet smile they had worn In
other days.
He allowed his eyes one last look at
her transcendent loneliness and smote
, her in twain. And again in quarters.
And in eights. And In sixteenths.
Then he calmly walked to the police
station, told his story, and waited FOL
the end.
THE END.
