PEAS AND OATS.

In sowing peas and oats together it
should be remembered that the oats
are designed largely as supporter of
the peas, and therefore should not be
seeded as thickly as where oats are
sown alone, or say not over half a
bushel to the acre. Peas can be safely
sown at the earliest possible moment
after the ground can be worked. They
should be sown deep, that is broad
casted and plowed under four or five
inches. This will protect them from
hard freezing in the ground, though
they will stand a good deal of cold
without injury; even after they are
out of the ground it takes hard
freeze to injure them. They can there.
fore be sown earlier than oats, and be-
ing covered deeper, and slower to
come up, they should be sown a week
or ten days earlier. Sow about two
bushels of peas to the acre, or even
two and a half if it can be afforded,
and harrow the oats in at the proper
time. For small hog or sheep pastures
oats and peas make very valuable
combination, and the habit of growing
them is q very good one to form and
follow. Farm, Stock and Home.

DAIRY COWS.

Too many people are guidea'in the
choice of Eutter COW solely by the
breed. The iaea is generally preva.
lent that Jersey or a Guernsey must
otn6csssity be far superior to other
COWS as butter producer. A greater
mistake was never made. Individual
aud even average performances ofc cows
OF these breeds are undoubtedly very
high, so that their reputation for but
ter fat is deserved but there are num-
erous degenerate specimens of these
breeds which are often inferior to the
desplsed scrub. This trouble is large
~ due to trusting to report rather
than to performance. The only reli-
able method of determining merit is
by actual test. The next best way,
and the only one to be generally en-
ployed when purchasing stock, is ap-
pearance.
In buying dairy cows there are GER
tain features to be looked for, as they
are pretty accurate guide to the real
value of the animal. It has been
proved many times that the produc-
tive capacity of a COW depends more
upon type and conformation than upon
nze and breed. These outward and
visible signs of butter-making to be
looked for are, in the order OF their
value: l. Long, broad, deep, elastic
udder, extending well forward anl up
behind, with large, tortuous milk
veins, abundant on the udder and
large orifces where they enter the
body. .. The skin soft, elastic and
mellow, hair plentiful and silky, and
the skin q rich yellow color. 3. The
body should he large, broad and deep,

FLOWER RAISING AT uoMr.

Alb, what happy thing it is to be n
person of resources, says writer in
the st. Louis Republic. A friend OF
mine who lives in country district,
where money does not grow on trees,
became dissatisfied with the income
she derived from her hens and cows,
and decided, as she had always been
successful in raising plants, to see if
she could not arrange with a city
florist to supply him with portion OF
the cut flowers he used.
The florist to whom she applied was
glad to enter into the arrangement,
and she began early last spring send
ing him violets, following n little later
with ionquils, hyacinths, then roses,
and in the fall chrysanthemums. She
always had given some time to her
plants, and felt that she was amply re.
paid in tho pleasure and the mental
and physical recreation she got from
the work; now she gives little moro
time, and in addition to tho pleasure
and recreation, has solid financial
remuneration that is to help send her
two daughters to school without mort
gaging the farm.
/ have often wondered why women
who live in or within easy reach of
large cities do not give more attention
to raising plants, the blooms OF which
would find place in the markets.
Take violets, for instance; they al
ways command a good price, and they
are easy of culture. Much OF the time
many women waste in bemoaning "the
hard times" could be protitablY spent
in attending to home flower garden.
Persistence, patience and persever-
ance are the three P's that spell sue

Tho First Armorcd Vessel.

A French author who has been in
vestigating the naval records of France
and Italy claims that the armored
warship is by no means the novelty it
is generally supposed. Records pre-
served in the arsenal at Nice show that
in 1880 an armored ship was built at
that port; its name was Santa Ana,
and it was one of the squadron sent
by the Emperor Charles V. against
Tunis. The Santa Ana was an arm
ored galley, with numerous guns, and
carried fighting crew of 800 men,
besides the galley slaves who worked
the oars. The armor consisted of
heavy plates of leSd fixed to the sides
of the ship by bronze bolts, and was
probably sufficient to resist the musket
balls and the shot from the small guns
used in those days. So the originality
of Ericsson and our other modern
shipbuilders disappears. II our in.
vestigators only keep on we may find

CLOVER FOR PIGS.

So much is written nowadays about
tho advantage of giving pigs It clover
pasture that some may thinkt that this
can be made an exclusive feed. Moth
ing is further from the truth. The
fact that very young clover is innu-
trltious can be tested by turning
either pigs or any other stock into Il
clover field early in the season. Very
little of the clover will be eaten, and
the stock will eat around the field in
the corners of fences the grass that
grows on old sod until it is bare to the
ground before they will touch the
clover. The truth is that clover is very
poor feed until it has progressed
toward maturity far enough to bios
som. Even then hogs will only eat it
by biting off the blossoms and leaving
the stalks. The stomach of the hogsis

hogs is not as pasture in summer, but
TO feed cut fine in winter as. means
of distending the exclusive grain diet
which hogs in winter too generally re-
ceive. Cut clover hay in small
amounts daily will be greedily eaten
by hogs that are being fattened on
corn. The clover is more nitrogenous
than is the corn, and it therefore
makes more balanced ration, besides
by its bulkiness making all the food
more easy to digest. Boston Cult.

MANAGEMENT OF ORCHARDS.

Fruit growing has in this country
been too generally mado a side issue
by farmers, who have given most of
their time, thought and fertilizer to
other crops that have not half the pos
sibilities that fruit growing has. Oc-
casionally the conditions for large
crops Of fruit are ali right, and every
body has large crop, usually making
the orchard pay far more than all the
farm besides. 1t is at such times rs
these that farmers see what fruit grow
ing may be made to yield. What is
needed for this result is that more
farmers go into fruit growing as an
exclusive business, or only combined
with such other branches of farming
as can be subordinated to it. When
this is done and the orchard is man
aged after business methods it will be
mado to pay, and not before. 1t
ought not to be thought any moro
risky to spend a hundred or thousand
dollars 10 supply the orchard with
needed fertilizers than it is to use the
same amount OF money to buy feed for
COWS, horses and other stock. 1t is
the habit of thinking that the orchard
produces wholly by the aid of nature
that makes farmers regard its treat.

NO USE FOR IT.

Following on the heels of Nansen's and
Pearys emphatic declarations against the
use of liquor in Arctic exploration, and that
of Stanley's against its use in African ex-
ploration, and the almost unanimous opinion
against II expressed by the trainers OF ath-
letic clubs in New York City, comes another
testimony from one who has learned in the
school of experience.
In tho New York Medical Record, Major
Alfred F. Sears, civil sanitary engineer. has
an article on tho SANITARY Care of Men in
Muses." The paper is an interesting review
Of over forty years experience in army and
engineering corps and railroad construction
camps. 1t contains many practical sugges-
tions in regard to hyglenne and some good
natured slaps at army doctors. The author
says that there are two kinds of physicians,
'the doctor OF hygiene and the doctor of
medicine; one CARES for health and the other
for disease, and the thing cared for always
comes out ahead"
1t is, however, the Majors opinion in re-
gard to the use of whisky that is Of especial
Interest. After describing the work of his
company, knee deep in the mud of a South
ern swamp, he goes on to say;
"Ench forenoon at IL and In the afternoon
at o'clock, the men of the fatigue parties
were entitled to q ration of whisky. The
men OF Company Il did not get it. In lieu
thereof, by the cordial permission of Gem
eral Viele, they received extra rations Of
tea, coffee, bread, and meat. And
here it seems proper to declare my uncom.
promising opinion, as the result of q long
experience in dealing with men, that the
time has never occurred when the regular
ration Of whisky is other than danger to
the health of those who receive it, and a
menace to the good order and discipline of
