DOWN MOUNT HAMILTON.

A Thrilling Stage Coach Ride at Full
Speed, Turning Many Sharp Curves.
1t was late when we left the build
ing and began the downward trip,
says a writer in the Californian. 1t
was so dark that I determined to ride
down as far as Smiths, making the
start from there afresh in the morning.
The coach I happened to catch con-
tanned party of excursionists. The
road down from the summit is in all
probability the finest cut road in the
world, but it is steep, abounds in sharp
turns and terrific precipices, and Is not
a road one would select to go down at
fu7l speed Yet when the four-in-hand
turned down into the road, the driver
mashed his hat firmly on his head and
brought crack from his whip like
report of a revolver, at which the
horses sprang forward in mad gallop.
Crack came the whip again, and with
a terrific sway the heavy coach swung
round the curve and went tearing
down the road while ftfu1 shrieks
began to come from the "insides."
Trees, spectral trunks, great oaks and
sycamores flew by, clouds of dust rose
and hid the landscape SO that the
horses seemed rushing into a fog
bank. Over bridges we went, the
thunder of hoofs rising in the night
with weird and forbidding sound
The pace kept increasing; the horses
were at dead run, sweeping round
curves with frightful swing, now
coming up under the brake with
terrific crash, then tearing madly on
in the wild race for the lights of
Smiths away below in the gloom.
Great trees with long branching arms
reached out. seeming to intercept the
road. Cuffs of gloom opened up sud
denly as the coach dashed around
curves. Spectral sycamores stood
white and distinct, where on every
side masses of verdure made the night
more impenetrable-a black gulf all
about, down which they seemed
skurrying. On plunged the coach
horses and driver seemingly gone mad
until finally, after pivoting around
in remarkable manner, we rushed
away in cloud of dust over the little
bridge into the blending and welcome
light of Smiths inn.

HOW TO RAKE HAY.
What Pennsylvania Farmer Kno'
About the Operation.

What Pennsylvania Farmer Knows
About the Operation.
The merit of any implement or ma
chine depends upon the wise use of it,
and in making hay time and labor are
often lost by the unskillful use of the
implements. In raking, for instance,
one may go over the ground twice in
both raking and loading, by the unwise
method of raking. To avoid this the
side-delivery rake has been devised, but
it is of no use to one who knows how
to use the common dumping sulky rake.
My plan has always been to begin at one
side of the field, early in the morning,
when the hay is ready for it, and rake
the hay into winrows, turning at the
other side of the field, and so going
back and forth, continually adding to
the length of the winrows. Then,
when the loader comes along in the af-
ternoon, there will be a load in each
winrow on any good-sized field, and the
load may be gathered without a turn.
Or, if the hay is loaded by hand, the
wagon is drawn between two winrows
and loaded from each side. This makes
quick work. 1t is always wise to have
the hay raked half day before it is
loaded, and after the first day the load.
ing may begin in the morning; when
there has been no rain at night, the
dew will dry off in the loading and un-
loading.-A Pennsylvania Farmer, in
". Y. Tribune.

How TO MEASURE Hay.
Rules for Finding the Number of Tons In
Stacks or Mows.

In answer to n number of inquiries
we again publish a few simple rules for
determining the amount of hay in stack
or NOW, when it is not convenient to
weigh il. Selling by measurement is
not always the most satisfactory meth
cd, but it sometimes is most convenient.
Sellers are disposed to insist that
cube Of seven feet is a ton. This is en-
tirely too small and will not weigh out.
How many cubic feet will make ton
depends on so many conditions that 40
certain rule can be given. 1t depends
on the kind of hay, whether timothy,
alfalfa or prairie, on the character of
the hay, whether fine or coarse, on the
condition in which it was put in the
stack, and particularly on the size, es-
pecially the depth of the stack or NOW.
In a very large NOW, well settled. 400
cubic feet of alfalfa or timothy may
average ton, but on top of the NOW
or in a small stack, it requires 500 to
512 cubic feet; sometimes even more. 1t
is not safe for the buyer TO figure on less
than 500 cubic feet; but in well filled
NOW, in selling we would rather weigh
than sell at that measurement.
To find the number of tons in barn
NOW or hay shed multiply the length,
depth and breadth together and divide
by the number of cubic feet you
think, considering the quality of
hay and the condition in which
1T was put up, will make a
ton. To measure n cone-shaped stack,
find the area of the base by multiplying
the square of the circumference in feet
by the decimal .0795s and multiply the
product thus obtained by one-third of
the height in feet, and then divide as
before, cutting off five right-hand fig
ures. The correctness of this will de-
pend somewhat on the approximation
of the stack to a regular cone, and il
the stack bulges out it makes the prod
uct too small. The better way is to es-
innate the area of stack up TO point Of
tapering in and apply above rule to cone
shaped top.
The best way is to weigh. The ex-
perience of weighing a few stacks will
enable anyone to judge quite accurate
ly. Another approximate rule for meas
uring round stack is this: Select a
place which is. as near rs possible to
what the average size would be II the
stack were of uniform diameter from
the ground to the top point. Measure
around this to get the circumference.
Add four ciphers 10000 to the cfrcumfer-
ence at the right and divide the whole by
9.1459 to get the diameter. Now multi
ply half of the diameter by half of the
circumference and you have the feet of
the circular area Multiply by the
number of feet the stack is high, and
you will have the solid or cubic feet in
the whole. Then divide by 500 to 512,
according to It's size and compactness,
which will give the number of tons in
the stack Orange Judd Farmer.

SHOOTING AN ALLIGATOR.
Vengeance on the Thief Who Stole ths
Bullock.

One day after dinner, says traveller
In Queensland, who has recorded his
experiences under the title: missing
Friends" we found that an alligator
had taken away one of the working
bufloelxs, which was lying down few
hundred yards from the house. The
tracks showed plainly that the animal
must have taken its victim by the hind
quarters and dragged it along, for the
earth was plowed up where the bullock
had been holding back with its head
and forelegs.
1t had been dragged to tho rivers
edge and there killed and partly eaten.
As we approached the bank we saw
the alligator by the carcass, still feed
ing. but it dropped into the water like
= 1tJi-o =. sight OF Us.
My employer, Mr.. A, turned TO
me with sparkling eyes.
Now is our chance" he cried. TO
night and tomorrow night it Will come
again and eat of the bullock. Then
we can shoot it,
The next evening we sought the
spot as soon as darkness began to fall.
The river bank nearest the water was
very steep for about thirty yards, then
there was a gentle slope for another
twenty yards, and on that slope the
carcass of the bullock was now lying.
We were careful to have the wind
against us, as the alligator Is shy, and
would never ascend the bank If it
should smell u.s.
We lay down fiat on the ground be-
hind the bushes, and it was agreed
that was not on any account to fire
until Mr.. A should give me the sig
nal by means of a touch. Then was
to fire into the mouth of the alligator,
while he at the same moment tried to
send ball through its eye.
We lay in this position until mid
night, and then came Il heavy body
creeping up the hill, distinctly audible,
though out of sight. Now and then
the noise would cease for a minute or
two, then it would come on again, and
at last we saw the dark mass of the
alligator come crawling up to the bull
lock and begin tearing at 1t.
I dared not move sufficiently to look
at Mr. A, but I nervously awaited
the signal to fire. The alligator turned
this way and that; at one moment it
almost seemed as If its powerful tail
might sweep US away.
At length we heard another alliga,
tor crawling up the bank, and the first
one began swapping its jaws fero-
ciously.
Then came the signal. Bang! went
the rifles. The beast did not move
muscle. 1t was quite dead, and we
could hear the other one tearing and
rolling down into the water again.

Cow Pea Cultivation.

For COW peas the ground should be
plowed after corn planting and made as
fine as possible. At the experiment
stations the planting is done in June.
Use the harrow literally. Plant about
half as far apart as corn rows and about
two and a half inches deep in this
climate; use bushel of seed to the
acre. They are ripe enough to cut for
feed in from fifty to seventy days
they are then about half ripe. Cut and
cure like clover. All kinds of stock are
fond of them, and they are rich in
nutriment, but if fed unmixed with
grass be sparing at first, till cattle be-
come accustomed to them. They can
be threshed like, other grain, except If
intended for seed. A machine breaks
them too much.

MANAGEMENT OF BEES.
Fest Time for Transferring Is WheI
Trees Are In Rloom

rest Time for Transferring Is When
Trces Are in Bloom.
II success in bee culture is the object,
then there Is no ne keeping bees in
log gum. Is it excludes all attempts at
management. The bees and combs
must be transferred to "a frame hive, so
that each comb is open for inspection at
any time the weather permits. or when
inspection IS necessary in the estimation
of the bcc-kccpcr. The best time for
transferring is when fruit trees are in
bloom, for then combs can be handled
with safety, brood is not yet too plenti-
fnl, which would be injured more or less
according to the skill of the operator, and
frait bloom furnishes supplies enough
for the bees to repair their combs in a
very short time. An experienced hand
can transfer a colony of bees from a
box hive or log gum at almost any
time OF the year. bat duri. z the sum-
mer months bro3i is 50 plentiful and
combs are 80 saIt that n beginner
should keep his hands off
Bees locate their entrance and for
miles made q beeline Tor home, writes
correspondent of the Indiana Farmer.
''~ASAA " ftA%afAtA AAir- w tI lltONt
your log gum to one side and set the
brood chamber of the frame hive in its
place, the entrance facing in the same
direction ~ that of the log gum. Put
n cover on the brood chamber for the
entering bees to cluster under. A few
whifFs ofsGlokc blown into your log gum
makes your bees fill their sacks with
honey, which brings peace to their
minds and makes them easily handled.
Split the gnm open with an AK and cut
out comb or two at time with a case
knife. Place them on table, frame
over sach one and cut along inside of
the comb to make the comb fit. Fasten
1t In some manner. Cotton twine
doubled Is all | want for fastening
combs In frames when transferring.
Pieces of comb as big as ones hand and
smaller can be fitted together to fill up
frame Each frame with comb is
hung in the new hive as soon as fast
ened. The combs containing brood ara
hung together, those containing honey
on each side; next to them the empty
combs or frames containing comb
foundations AS the bees are inclined
to cluster under some object, box of
some kind should be placed over those
bees decamping from the box hive or
log gun to cluster under, so that they
may be shaken in front of the new hive,
or on the frames after the combs are
transferred. Care must be taken that
the queen is not injured and is placed
safely In the new hive, when the bees
will find their way in gradually but
surely. Bees being inclined to crawl
upward and many having fallen on the
ground during the time of transferring,
board placed from the ground to the
entrance OF the hive is quite an accom-
mediation to the stragglers. If the
weather is warm and fruit bloom favor
able, the hive should be opened again
day or two afterwards and all the twines
and clasps removed, as all the combs are
patched up and fastened by that time.
