The Dog Could Reason.

ga friend during his boyhood days
IN New Hampshire owned big dog.
Some carpenters were at work on a
new house approached by long hill
from his home. The distance by road
around the hill was full mile. Each
noon the dog was sent up to the new
house with jug of water. One warm
day he set down the jug for rest
and. being unable to recover it, it
rolled to the foot of the hill. He
looked at it a while,. picked it up and
trotted off, around the hill this time,
and never afterward could he be per
suaded to carry the jug by the short
route. - Boston Transcript.

FARM AND GARDEN.
GROW PARsN1ps FOR COWS.

Though the parsnips have a very
distinct flavor of its own, it does not
impart any bad flavor to the milk
when cows are fed on it, The root is
especially valuable, as the parsnip snd
carrot have greater nutrition than do
the kinds of roots planted later and
grown more quickly. Early planting
OF these seeds is necessary, because
they are small and germinate slowly.
1t is good plan to soak these seeds
four or five days till nearly ready to
germinate before planting them. In
that way the young plants which are
very small will come up, and can be
hoed once before they are crowded
by weeds. - Boston Cultivator.

COwPEAS.


It is q well-known fact that the COW
pea, or field pea, as it is sometimes
called, is one of the numerous family
of plants to which belong the clovers,
beans, ETC., long noted as of fthe great
est value as food plants. and later as
being valuable for green manuring,
writes John w. Delk, Of Denmark,
Miss. They store up larger amounts
of nitrogen than other plants of diff
ferent families. Cow peas are rapidly
coming into use as knowledge Of their
good qualities is advanced. They are
first highly nutritious food for man
and domestic animals; second, among
the most valuable forage plants, and
third, the foremost renovator of worn
out or rundown soil. Peas will grow
on land that is too poor to grow any
other renovating crops without help,
and will make fair crop. A good
crop of peas may be grown with very
little care; they grow on any
kind of ground, rich or poor,
but no one should expect it
to be 80 luxuriant on poor ground as
ou a rich soil. If large increase OF
seed is wanted, i.ss ould be a good idea
to give them a {4s,a' rial on good land,
and when seed is plenty descend onto
the poor land. Planted in drills, one
peck to half bushel of seed may be
used. Less seed will cover ihe ground
on rich land, and half bushel is none
too much on poor land. 1t is quite
common to SOW one and half bushels
to the acre broadcast and plow or har-
row them in, When dry weather is
expected the peas should be planted
deep and the soil fined down over
them. The best pea for "soiling" is
the common "black" pea, as it tends
to have more luxuriant growth of
vine; it is also a fine forage plant,
though if one should wish to cut them
with mower the "whip-poor-will" or
specked pea would be the best. The
latter is bunch variety, while the for
mer have luxuriant growth of vine.
AS general stock pea 1 prefer the
yellow creeper to any other variety.
The best time to plant them is from
the middle of May till the last of June.
When planted in drills they should be
three feet apart. Give one good work
ing and a fine crop of peas is certain
to be the result. -[Courier Journal.

Needless Grapes.

In view of the widespread fear OF
appendicitis, and its frequent occur
renee after the victim has swallowed
the seeds of fruit, it is interesting to
know that botanists believe that seed
less grapes are possibility. The So
called "currants" of Zante are really
small, seedless grapes. Coreless ap-
ples. stoneless cherries and plums, and
avan seediess strawberries and rasp'
berries are all possibilities OF bud

A NEW WAY TO "BUsH PEAS"

NEW WA1 III bOOh fEho.
''The old method of bushing peas by
sharpening green limbs and twigs and
sticking them thickly along each row
has good deal of labor in it, and is
moreover for from satisfactory in its
results, says a correspondent of the
Country Gentleman. "a high wind
is almost sure to lay both bushes and
growing peas fiat along some portion
OF the rows. Then, too, the pods are
often hard to get at when hidden away
among the branches of some more than
usually vigorous bush. A better plan
is to stretch length of narrow poul-
try netting along the row, holding it
firmly in position by stout stakes at
each end. The netting need not be
wide, as it can be placed six or eight
inches above the soil, the young peas
being able to catch on to it at that
height Such netting in rolls of $50
feet is but little more than one half n
cent per square foot, and if kept
housed when not in use it will last a
score of years. Ones garden will look
much neater for it's use, while the peas
can be picked from such a support
with much more ease than fir ON the
old bush support. "

HENS EATING EGGS.

Upon this question the Town and
Country Journal of Australia says:
Of all the evil habits that hens can ac-
quire that of eggeating is perhaps the
most provoking and objectionable,
and at the same time most incurable.
In the nature or wild state the hen
hides her nest in thicket to protect
it from her companions, male and fe-
male. Here the preservation of its
eggs is paramount to everything else.
If we follow the natural order of
things all is we'll; ; if we deviate from
it greater or less degree, to cores
ponding degree will disastrous results
follow such action. can ounce of
prevention is worth pound of cure. }"
Therefore start properly with the pull
let's by placing their nests in retired
and secluded portion of the building.
Make a passageway in front of the
nest, so that the sitter may be neither
seen or heard. The boards which
form this passageway also give, besides
the seclusion so much needed, de-
gree of darkness favorable to the quiet
occupation of the nest, and prevent
intrusive visits from idle and meddle-
some fowls; and if an egg is accident
ally broken the chances are rare that
it will be seen by the patient sitter,
and will offer no temptations to acquire
the vicious habit of egg-eating.

sor Sachs, of Wurzburg, asserted, and
the Royal Institute of Fruit and Vine
Culture at Giesenheim has tried exper-
iments and is apparently satisfied, that
sulfate of iron is valuable stimulant
to plants that are suffering from chic
rosis or absence of the proper green
color. They gave small trees two and
one-ffth pounds of copperas, and
large trees four and two-tifths pounds.
The results, it is said, were most graf
flying. Strange to say in some cases
where the trees we're suffering from
the attack of aphides as well as def
cheney of color in the leaves, the
aphides disappeared, and frequently
the leaves became healthy within a
few days after the treatment The
sulfate of iron was dissolved in
water, and applied near the roots.
Early spring is the best time to try

require the addition of sulfate OF

HONEST co CHARLEY.

The Hon. Charles Curtis, congress-
man from this district and candidate
for reelection, has taken up the cue
Of the republican managers and is
instructlng bis hearers that the Pop
ulist party is opposed to the free
coinage Of silver, and that republi-
cans alone are the only friends Of
silver in the country. He uses the
ADVOCATE as authority upon the sub
ject. Some time ago IN an editorial
relating to the republican fsllaCy Of

VooATE said:
Let il bs understood once for all that the
Populists, not Of Kansas alone, but Of the
entire country, are utterly opposed TO the
use Of silver as money il such use is based
upon the condition that q gold dollars
worth Of silver bullion at it's market price
in Wall street, must go into the silver dol
Lar.
Honest Charley carries this number
of the ADVOCATE with him in his trsv-
els, and after working his hearers up
to the proper point he gravely reads:
Let il be understood once for all that

entire country, are utterly opposed TO the
use Of silver as money.
