The COW PEA.

The COW pen is highly esteemed by
Southern farmers as crop for plow-
ing under, and also to grow for its
forage. An esteemed correspondent
writes in letter published this week,
urging its cultivation by Northern
farmers as q substitute for clover, or
rather on land where clover cannot be
grown. But the time when the COW
pea is to be plowed under must alway 8
be at the end of the growing season. It
requires warmth and long season to
attain maturity. Some of the earlier
and smaller varieties might lipen seeds
in our Northern States in favorable
seasons, but these could not be de-
pended on. The farmer who can grow
clover will find it much more satisfac.
tory than to grow the COW pea. If a
large amount of foliage is turned un-
der late IN the season it will rot, and
much of it's nitrogen will be washed
away before spring. In most cases it
will probably pay better for those who
grow COW peas to cut and feed the for
age. thus turning it into manure in
stead of plowing it under. The plow.
ing can then be left until spring, and
after feeding the pea forage, what man
ure it makes can be spread over the
surface.-American Cultivator.

wealthy, aristocratic men and women
who have undergone expenditures in
their researches that would appal the
average farmer.
One of the purposes Of this paper is
to call the attention of farmers to the
Importance ofraising the better grades
of table supplies. This for personal
comfort and an enlarged opportunity
for profit. Even if extra quantities OF
table supplies cannot be cultivated in
wholesale or shipping quantities, their
production can be turned to good ac.
count.
This fact is emphasized by the great
tbrongs of city folk whose aim OF late
years is to spend their vacations in the
"real country" There are people
who have become tired of the clamor
ind excitement of hotels. They will
more and more seek the wholesome
quiet of inland farms. j..
Now, there is much complaint from
these money.spending visitors because
in many places they miss some food
which they have been accustomed to
obtain from the best purveyors OF the
cities; things that directly belong to
country production. They do not
like the idea of paying high prices for
common articles. They comprehend
that the same time, labor and soil de-
voted to inferior things or varieties,
will bring forth attractive specialties
in green corn, choice berries and fine
garden vegetables. ,..>.

HINTS on FEEDING s1LAGE.

In feeding silage 1t is much better
to always feed from the top, and the
area of the feeding surface should not
be much greater than five square feet
for each COW feed. It is a common
mistake to have the feeding surface of
the silage too large, and under these
conditions the sllage has time to heat
and spoil to some extent. All heating
of silage is at the expense of feeding
value, and in good silos, after the first
heating, the silage cools, and remains
cold to the touch for an indefinite
time unless again exposed to the air
for some days. Silage should be fed
after milking. Almost any substance
possessing an odor at all marked has a
tendency, when fed to the cow just
before milking, to have it excreted
with the milk at the time of milking.
If, however, turnips or silage, etc.,
are fed after milking, then the odors
have time to escape from the blood of
the cow, through the lungs, kidneys
and skin, before it is again time to
milk, and tie milk will notbe tainted.

A Princess's Costly Hobby.

The Duke OF York is an ardent
philatelist, the Duchess OF Fife. is An
enthusiastic amateur photographer,
and the Princess Maud Of Wales has Q
passion for ivory. This somewhat
rare and costly hobby has been ridden
by her to such purpose that, accord.
ing to the London correspondent OF
the Manchester News, it would be no
misuse of words to speak OF her col
lection as museum. The specimens
most priced are the full-sized tusks OF
elephants shot in India by her father
and by the Duke Of Connsught., Not
long since the Emperor Of Russia sent
to his cousin some wild boar tusks,
taken from animals shot by himself.
The Princess has large number OF
tusks and teeth of other animals, most
" the gifts OF the hunters Of her family
and of her large circle Of acquaint.
ances, and among these walruses ard
lions, sharks and seals, alligators and
swordfshes are amply represented. -

TI1IAaE DESTROYING WEEDS.

It is mistake to suppose that land
devoted to tillage is for that reason
more weedy than land left in pasture.
It is true there will be more weeds
visible in the titled land, for cultiva.
tion enables every seed near the sur
face to germinate. But in the pasture
what weeds do start are apt to be left
to mature their seeds. The stock
turned in to crop the grass will gen.
orally avoid the weeds, and thus few
years of pasturing fills the soil with
weed seeds which will make hard work
for the cultivator to get rid of.-Bos'

If you work yourself those around
you will work.
Take care of the chips and you will
never be without fire.
A load of muck is worth a ton OF

A farmer who does not see the sun

As a manure spreader the sheep

No need to buy a new farm 80 long

Pumpkin seed should be removed
from the pumpkin when fed to COWS

Waste leads to want, and want leads
to woe; before you start consider
which way you so. .
If you have not put in supply of
dirt for dust bath and absorbent un-
der perches, it is about time it was
done.
Drinking water should always be
within reach, and at all times fresh.
It will also pay to always feed good,
sound grain.
Farmers will do we'll to diversity
their live stock business. Three kinds
of domestic animals should be kept on
the farm continually, as a rule.
The corn is as GOOD a deposit as

the money, too, if safely insured

fully. Substitute the perishable vege-
tables, and bulky provender, when.
ever possible with the food of the
store stock.
Carrots are highly relished by
horses. A few carrots, fed raw, after
being sliced, will prove a delicacy to
COWS, and fed once a day they will
promote the appetite and keep the
animals in good condition when other
foods may not be acceptable.
Carrots are used by some dairymen
as regular food for COWS, in order to
give deeper color to the butter, and
are highly esteemed by them for that
purpose. Cooked and thickened with
bran they make an excellent mess
when fed warm on cold day.
Grit of some sort is indispensable,
as it helps digestion-in fact, it is the
fowls teeth. Ii fowls have the care

will pay a much larger profit than

There seems to be some doubt as to
the election OF Henry A. Dupont as
senator from Delaware. It seems that
the speaker of the senate became gov
ernor of the state by the death OF the
governor elect, and, while acting as
governor, also performed the duties of
his office rs Il legislator. The repub-
leans maintain that by becoming gov
ernor he lost his rights as a state SEN
atOr. Dupont received Is votes when
16 were necessary for election provid-
ing the speaker had a right to vote.
The governor refused to give Il certif-
icate of election, while the speaker OF
the house has signed one. The 1ues-
ton will of necessity have to be settled
by the United States senate. With
the seating OF Senator Dupont, il such
an event occurs, the republicans in
the United States senate will have AZ
votes-exactly one-half of the whole
cumberland by the aid of the popu-
lists who have republican inclinations,
the organization of the committees
will very likely be as the republicans
wish to have it.

OF Sioux Falls, had bribed two

vote for his retention for another
year. The action of the grand jury is
worthy of the commentator of honest
men. Scott is a sort OF barnacle in
the newspaper business. He is vain
and variable, and possesses vapor-
lied brain. His theory OF journalism
is to attack the reputation of any per-
son who will not subject themselves
to certain money demands. He never
stopped to investigate a rumor in his
life, but slash, dash, it was converted
onto paper and sent broadcast through
the town. We have no doubt but
what Scott will find the law very
hard taskmaster when once tr;,mpled
upon, and when he receives his SEN
tence he will have higher regard for
honest men and their dues.
