When fall crop is taken after pick
ing green peas for market it is usual
practice 60 gather the pea vines and
cart them out of the field. They are
often worth more as fertilizer to be
plowed under just as they are. If u
few seed peas are left ripe enough to
grow, it will be none the worse for the
future crop. The pea vine is strongly
nitrogenous, and makes fertilizer
richer than much strawy and fire
fanged stable manure. 1t has the fur
ther advantage ofbeing somewhat wet,
rs the moisture has not had time to
dry out. We have seen the best crops
of late turnips grown thus, an they
were seemingly not at all injured by
the few pea vines that came up anon;
them. The pea root gathers nitrogen
from air in the soil, as the clover root
does, and growing it rs green manure
adds more to the fertility of soil than
does any other crop excepting clover.

PROFIT IN WHITE FIELD BEANS.

What to raise in the place of wheat,
which has not been II paying crop for
several years, is question which is
agitating many farmers, writes w. j.
Thomas, of Michigan. l believe that,
for some districts, beans come nearer
to filling the place of wheat than any
other crop. Like wheat there is al
ways ready sale for it, it has fewer
enemies, can be kept over with much
less shrinkage, as rats and mice do
not trouble it, and commands from
two to three times the price of wheat,
while the vines and pods are fully
equal to hay for feeding purposes. A
poor soil may raise fair crop of
beans, or fair crop may be raised
with but little work. On the other
hand no crop will better respond to
good treatment than will beans, and
the better the soil the better will be
the beans. Land that will, in good
season, raise ten bushels of wheat per
acre, VIII raise ten of beans, and land
that grows twenty of wheat, Will yield
MS many of beans.
Formerly the crop required good
deal OF labor, Cor it wss all done by
hand, yet then it was paying crop

CULTIVATION OF THE ORCHARD.

The opinion of horticulturists differs
widely on the cultivation that should
be given to the orchard. Some believe
that the best results are obtained when
the grass is allowed to grow in the or
chard, while others recommend a shall
low and frequent loosening cf the soil,
while still others favor deep plowing
several times during the season. Many
have tried snbsoiling before planting
and some continuing it after, and al
though the expense was quite heavy,
they heartily favor that method. Disk
narrowing has been tried in many Sec
tions and good results have been re-
ported in the majority of cases.
Another point on which difference
of opinion is expressed is where to
plant the orchard, on the low land
bordering stream or on the upland.
In the Arkansas Valley, those who raise
fruit for the market select the first
bottom for the orchards. The land
there is well drained and has good
sub-irrigation. In other parts of the
State orchardists, fully as extensive
growers, avoid planting on the lower
ground, beginning their orchards well
up the hillside and continuing to the
summit. American Farmer.

HOW TO MIL.

1t is very important 70 free tie
udder entirely from milk for two rea-
sons. The first is that these ''strip-

short time. Tho other is the fact that
one pint of the milk last drawn con-
tains as much butter fat us one quart
of that obtained at the beginning Of
the milking. In addition to these
there is the actual loss in the amount
of milk at the time. TO show how
considerable this loss is the following
test was recently made: Five cows
were MIXED for period of four
weeks by two different persons, both
being competent parties, one of them
doing his average milking and not
aware that an experiment was under
way, the other fully informed as to
the nature of the experiment and ex-
pected to contribute his best skill for
the purpose in view. In the case of
the one unaware of the experiment the
yield of milk for the two weeks from
the five cows was S64 pounds. With
no more cows or chance, the man who
was posted got 1131 pounds, or 2G7
pounds more than the other. New

for planting and harvesting, the profits

bined harvester and planter, with
which one man and team can plant

can also be cultivated with riding

LOSS OF YOUNG TURKEYS.

Young turkeys are difficult to rear
without every convenient provision for
safety from damp and wet. 1t is best
to house them at night in long, low
shed, divided into apartments, one for
each brood. Here they should be fed
in the morning before they are let out
and in the evening when driven in be-
fore the dews fall The coops may be
five feet high at the rear and three feet
in the front, with one glazed sash,
hinged, for the door. Entrance will
then be easy to clean the coops and
take in the food. The focks should
be driven up early and then shut in the
yard in which the coops are made.
Exposure to one cold rain will kill
every one of brood until the red of
the head and neck, which is sign of
full puberty, appears. After that they
are aot so tender, but will yet need
care. New York Times.

A Blight on tho HONEYMOON,

The Slush in Fulton street was

they had no umbrella, and as they
stood arm-in-arm at Broadway and
Fulton streets, they looked as If they

brown derby hat and a slightly
troubled look. She was young and
pretty, and she wore a pair of white
kid shoes, and big white hat with
pink roses all over it and she was too
hlppy to think Of the weather.
"Oh, William" she whispered, as
she nestled closer to the thin young
man, Isn't 10 glorious to be alone
together, darling, in great city,"
The thin young man made no re-
ply. The ranwater was dripping
from his brown derby-like medicine
out of patent dropper.
"All alone" she continued gazing
blissfully at the tower on the West
ern Union Building, and, getting a
firmer grip on the thin young mans
right arm, "home and friends far
away, and though the multitude is
surging around us, we two are one
together, dearest, and Its me and you
against the world; amt it, William?"
William made no response. He
shook some of the rainwater off his
brown soggy derby, and then he said:

FOR LOVES SAKE.

Aye love me, sweet, with all thy heart,
Thy mind, thy soul, and all thou art
And hop'st to be--love me with love
That naught beneath the heavens may move
Yet say not wherefore; say not why
Thou lovest-since in these do lie
The seeds of death to Love, but say,
Thou lowest, and must love alway!
For should'st thou love some witching grace
OF word or manner form or face
Should thy hearts worship thus be bought
By any gift that Time hath wrought,
So art thou false to Loves pure creed,
And like to fail in sorest need,
But love for Loves dear sake, 1 pray.
Then shalt thou love me, sweet, alway!

Reformers Who Reform.

Democratic reform means something
in Illinois. The corporate wealth of
that state has been shielding itself from
taxation, under the plea that its i'm
mense profits could not be touched for
public purposes without a violation of
the constitution. The legislature now
has under consideration an amendment
to the constitution which will extend
the taxing power over a vast amount
of property that has heretofore escaped
il. It provides for tax upon the gross
earnings of corporations; for an an
nual license tax upon corporations
doing business in the state, for graded
income tax upon all incomes in excess
of $1,000, and all inheritance tax on all
sums exceeding $4,000, and the means
by which to collect it.
This is in the right direction. Such
laws will be the fulfllment of demo-
cratic pledges, and an earnest of demo
cratic purpose to do away with govern
ment by plutocracy and restore govern
ment by the people.
Democratic New York was at the
front with a law taxing 'inheritances,
under which the estate of Jay Gould
will contribute the magnificent sum of
500, 900 to the public treasury. Other
states are following IN her steps, and
the time is coming when no man will
be allowed to transmit to his posterity
a fortune so great as to menace the
liberties of the people. And these taxes
will be graded; the greater the fortune
the larger the percentage of tax will it
return to the state. whose laws and
whose protection have alone rendered
its accumulation possible.
We hope to see our own state legis-
lature take this matter in hand, and
place Kansas in line with the more ad-
vanced states of the east in checking
corporate rapacity and setting limits to
plutocratic neutrality-suspicious. Star

How They Care For Horses In Japan.

WHEREVER the Englishm3n settles,
he establishes for himself comfortable
home, and, naturally. after that is at
tanned, founds clubs for drivers ath-
Ietic sports; so in Yokohama and Takio
there are regular races in the spring
and fall. The care and management
of the horses gives employment to a
number of people in various capacities.
The japanese horse, pony with
short neck, bushy name, and thick hair,
spends his yoHth. for the most part, in
the mountains, where he learns to climb
and get hardened to the weather and
lack of care. The horse used by the
farmer is seldom groomed except by
the rain, and his fodder consists chiefly
of grass in the summer. and dry foliage
in the winter; while the gentleman s
saddle-horse can count upon careful at
tent1on. His fodder, consisting of
wheat and beans,-for there is no
hay,-is given to him warmed, and no
stable appointments are complete with
out great iron furnace for fire, and
a bath tub; for as gentleman refreshes
himself after ride with a warm bath.
so his horse is treated to similar lux
ury, which he greets with joyous neighs.
The giving of full warm bath to an
animal of his size has some practical
| difficulties; but a high stout wooden
tub answers the purpose. First the
horse puts his fore-legs into the tub of
| warm water and allows himself to be
patiently rubbed down by hand; then
the tub is pushed back and he puts his
hind-legs in. and. finally, he is rubbed
| dry with wisp of straw.
The native horse owner believes in
an occasional blood letting to keep his
stock in condition. and in many pro-
vinces the farmer cups his livestock
every year; the horse is cast and helt
fast by ropes fastened to a pole while
each leg is bled.--From japanese In
