side of one section, the hay can be
drawn out of the sides of the two first
floors and the rails or poles removed
from those floors as they become in the
way; the same is done with all the floors
10 remove all the hay at once, work
should begin at the top of the stack.
ADVANTAGES SECURED.
The stackframe was perfect success
and will be permanently used on the
station.
BY the perfect and thorough ventila-
tion allowed, hay cannot iniure in cur
ing, therefore such stack frame makes
the question of curing pea hay very
simple one.
The hay cured in the frame was ex-
amined by many farmers and pro-
nounced by them to be as fine as they
ever saw
The vines should be stacked as soon
as wilted; if cut IN the morning and ex-
posed to the sunlight they can be stacked
that evening. By stacking the vines
when wilted no loss whatever occurs
and the best possible hay is made.
A very important advantage can be
gained by the use of the frame in that
hay can be made independently of the
weather. 1t would be advisable to have
such a stack-frame on every farm where
hay is made, for in the event of rainy
weather at hay-making the hay could be
cured and saved Notwithstanding the
unfavorable weather.
Cowpea hay is bulky and much barn
room can be saved by curing and stor
ing in the frame, or by curing in the
frame, then baling the hay or stacking
it around pole.
BY having the pea crop ready to cut
at different dates and by the use of the
stack-frame pea hay could be grown ex-
tensively and baled for market crop.
The frame possesses advantages of re-
curing small amount of inexpensive
material to build it, is easy to erect, il
desirable, can be easily moved from
place to place without tearing the cross
frames to pieces, and hay is easily
stacked and as easily removed from the
stack.

dent who took enough interest in the
m after to inform himself of the time and
manner of planting.
Last year the planting was deferred
until late In May. The plants came 90
finely, and made rapid gre with, and the
gentleman gathered two cutting Of beans
or heads before the frost of last winter
cut down the plants. This year he waited
until about the same date, hoping that
the roots oflastyear's plants would throw
up sprouts and thus make plants. When
satisfied that the old roots were dead, he
put in mules and plows, and furrowed
the land, running burrows four or FIVE feet
apart. In these he dropped his seed and
covered It, The weeds had already
taken the middles, which were not
plowed, and when the young plants
made their appearance they were already
overgrown and were soon smothered
with the dense growth of weeds. Had
he prepared his ground better, the late
ness of the season would no doubt have
produced the same results as followed
last years experiment. The time and
money put into this years experiment
were thrown away.
In this connection was an object les
son which should have pointed out to
this man his error, and which points
every observing man the way to success.
Last falls cuttings of heads were thrown
on large threshing floor at one corner
of the field to dry, so that the seed could
process thousands of beans were scat
tered upon the ground. Here they lay
all winter, passing through two of the
most severe freezes known in the history
of Florida. In the early spring these
terminated, and when our friend was
running out his burrows and preparing
to plant this year the young plants from
these scattered beans were two feet high.
They have continued to grow, u"cared
for and unattended, and at this date are
maturing seed, with full four months
before them in which to mature seed
before there is the least danger OF frost.
The lesson is that the seed Of the cas-
tor bean can be safely planted in this re-
gion in December, and be ready to ger
inmate with the first warm weather of
spring, with certainty of harvest of
four months duration even in the most
adverse seasons, and a probability of
living through three winters out of four
with harvest period of nine months
duration the following summer. With
such an advantage over other section
growing castor beans, and with a mill
owned and operated by the men who Gull
tivate the land and grow the seed, abso-
lutte independence of any trust or COM
bine is secured and the profits would
remain In the hands of the grower and
manufacturers Orlando Correspondent
