given to the latter method. IT can
stand thicker than corn, but there is a
limit to the crowding process which
should not be passed when a maximum
crop is desired AS to methods of
seeding, we have adopted the plan of
seeding with grain drill with press
wheels. and it works satisfactory. 1t
is an eight shoe drill, with the shoes
eight inches apart. By leaving the
first and the fifth feeds open and clos
ing all the others in the seed box we
plant two rows at time 80 inches
apart, and by experimenting with the
amount discharged it Will soon be seen
how to set the feed bar in order to SOW
the right quantity. Six TO seven pounds
to the acre is an abundance. and if the
seed is clean and not cracked in thrash
ing less will answer. The richer the
soil, the larger the plants will grow
and the more room they must have.
Rows 30 inches apart allow sufficient
space for cultivation, and the stalks
should stand from 4 to 9 inches apart
in the row according to the richness Of
the soil
If listing is practiced at all, it should
be very shallow The plants are of
slow growth during the first six weeks,
and deep lister burrows do not admit
of proper cultivation for so small
plants. Surface planted seed should be
narrowed with a smoothing harrow
soon after it is up. in order to Kill the
weeds Just terminating. In other re-
spects cultivate as for corn. Cultivate
shallow. especially near the row. We
use a spring tooth cultivator in prefer
ence to the old fashioned large shovel
pIoWs. Cultivate enough to keep rhe
weeds down and the surface mellow
until it begins to head.
In an average season red kaffir corn
will mature in about II to IA weeks.
Planted in the middle or latter part of
May, the seed is ripe by the middle of
September. and it should be harvested
at once. The fodder will remain green
until frost, but this fact should not be
made an excuse for putting off the har-
Vesting. The earlier it is cut after the
seed is ripe the more time will there be
for the stalks TO cure, which is an es-
sential point. especially if the fodder is
stacked. Any of the many good corn
cutters now on the market will do the
work.
When the seed has dried out suffici
emily so it can be stored. which condi-
ton it viii not reach until the end of
November. it should be thrashed- 1t is
true than many growers feed the crop
as il comes from the shock, seed and
all, but ii is wasteful way of hand
ling it, though of course the cost or I
and grinding must be taken
into consideration. and doubtless there
are conditions under which this cost
will. exceed the value of the waste in
Cured by feeding without thrashing or
grinding. One way of proceeding is to
gather the heads in the field, as corn is
gathered. before the crop is cut A
better way is to cut the heads of in
the shock after the seed is dry ana
thrash them at once

Peas and Oats For Stock.

In response to many inquiries we VIII
repeat what we have said in other is
sues on this topic.
The combination makes a valuable
feed for hogs and for cows. The crop
is used most economically by cutting
and feeding when the peas are about
ready for table use. 1t is we'll TO begin
to feed a little earlier.
The earlier the crop can be started
in the spring the better.
fall Dlowed field is a good place
to SOW: any fallow ground will do. A
dressing of barn-yard manure will help
the crop. In its stead broadcast 500
pounds of acid phosphate and $50
pounds of muriate of potash per acre.
Harrow the land and make the sur
face mellow before sowing the peas so
they will lie where they fall and will
have a mellow bed in which to start.
Sow the common. round. field pea.
Any seedman Will sell them to You if
your neighbors do not grow them for
seed. Broadcast two or two and
half bushels per acre Pillow them IN
from four to six inches deep. The
deDth DEFENDS on the nature of the
soil. They need not be down deep
enough 70 have their roots constantly
in moist soil.
Let the ground lie as it is Flowed
for a week. Then SOW one bushel of
oats and harrow in. Some recommend
drilling the oats. A variety of cats
with stiff. strong growing straw is
best.
The pigs will enjoy "hogging" the
field over after the crop is removed
They enjoy it more while the crop is
standing. but this is wasteful.
The crop is hard to cure if big one.
When this is to be done cut when peas
are two-thirds ripe. Now with scythe,

About Kafir Corn Culture

Kaffir corn can be grown in regions
too dry for corn. It is possible to grow
il in semi-arid regions where corn rarely
succeeds. This tenacity Of life IS also
manifested by its sDrouting again from
the roots and producing a second and
even a third crop after it has been cut.
From the Kansas station comes the
following directions for cultivating this
crop:
The seed bed should be prepared in
all respects as for corn. The finer the
filth. the better. 1t can be planted
either in hills or in drills Preference is

The Flynn Nuisance.

The decision of Judge Lyon, Of
Juniata county, in dismissing the bill
for an injunction to restrain the Dor
ough from destroying or removing
the wall on the Flynn property in the
First ward, which decision was given
in yesterdays HERALD, will be graft
flying news to the people of Shenan-
doah, and especially those who have
suffered from the nuisance created bv
Flynn. The bill was filed one year
ago next month. Testimony was sub
sequently taken and the case was
argued on June 9th last, and it has
been in the hands of Judge Lyon
three months.
The decision is an Important one
not only to Shenandoah, but to every
municipality in the state as we'll The
counsel for the borough gave the sub
ject much consideration previous to
advising the Borough Council to take
steps to remove the nuisance, and
the decision rendered in their favor
shows very plainly that their opin-
ions were based upon sound law.
Especially is the outcome of the case
gratifying to Borough Solicitor
Pomeroy and his friends During the
long period since he has acted in the
capacity of legal adviser for the
Borough Council every written
opinion he has submitted to that
body has been sustained by the court.
There have been instances, it is true,
where the Council has been mulcted
for the costs, but in none of these
cases has the Borough Council fol-
lowed the written opinion of the
Solicitor For this reason the mem
bers Of the Borough Council have
much cause for congratulation.
Borough Solicitor Pomeroy and his
legal associate i'm the case, A. w.
Schalck, Esq, are entitled to all the
credit due them, and even those who
doubted the advisability Of their
legal contentious must now admit the
soundness of the borough's legal
position.

borough found itself between two
fires. They not only had to combat
the formers attorneys, but the Board
of Health assumed a position entirely

fused TO take action looking to

desperate 'Figh5 In an Elevator.

Chicago, Sept 4-Bare fists against
a razor was the unequal odds yester-
day afternoon in a desperate encounter
between Adam Wilson and Samuel H..
Smith in the elevator at the Post
Graduate hospital and Medical College,
Dearborn street. While the elevator
ascended from the basement to the
sixth floor and retraced its course the
two men fought, their yells sounding
through the corridors Of the hospital
and carrying alarm to the patients in
the wards. The fight was prompted by
a quarrel over their respective duties.
When the battle ceased Wilson was
lying on the floor of the elevator in
blood that flowed from a dozen or more
wounds. Smith escaped from the ele-
vator by stopping it at the first floor
and leaping into the hall The police
are searching for him. His victim Is
