from 30 to 50 bushels. The plant -
easily cultivated. requiring the same at
tention as potatoes to give good yield.
l planted some 20 inches apart, one
pea in a place. and others one foot
apart. The widest planting and least
watering gave best results in the pro-
duction OF seed while close planting
and abundant moisture produced the
best feed for stock. Every animal and
fowl on the place greedily devoured
the peas and would walk over all other
crops to find the ldahos. Several bush
els were sold as green peas, and the
purchasers were delighted with the
novelty. The plants have a peculiar
oder that prevents insects from prey
sticks TO the fingers while picking. and
imparts a vinegary taste.
Idaho peas may be fed to cows and
sheep while on the vine. but should be
shelled and ground into meal for horses
and hogs. Some farmers who have
thoroughly tested the feeding qualities
claim that from one TO two quarts OF
the meal is a sufficient days ration for
a working horse or milk cow. and that
hogs require even less. The peas may
be drilled or sown broadcast and cut
with mower and stacked as beans.
They shell out easily after being thor
oughly dried. and can be winnowed or
cleaned with an ordinary tanning mill
The hay is as good ms alfalfa, after the
peas are shelled out.-Joel Shoemaker

Club Women's Husbands

The recent statement of DIR. Shrady, a
noted eastern physician, that the curse of
American men is straining after luxuries
for their wives, and that their lives are
shortened thereby, has called forth torrent
of objection from the club women. One wo-
man says it may apply to the butterfly wo-
men, but not to the earnest, sincere wo-
men," Every club woman imagines that she
is not butterfly, because she meets lot
of other cluo women once a week and dis
cusses the Holy Grail. Such meeting is as
frivolous as dancing. Mrs. Lille Devereux
Blake, half-baked suffragist, says that men
spend all their income on themselves, and
that their wives have to grovel in the dust to
get a little spending money.
In view of the fact that many American
women get their chief exercise in gaddng
to clubs and dressmakers, this groveling-in-
the-dust theory is very funny. A noted club
