Gathering Cow Peas.

My method of gathering them is a
long way ahead of the common way Of
hand picking. Take a heavy chain and
fasten on No. 20 Oliver chilled plow,
or any other heavy plow, in same man
ner as you would if wishing to turn
under tall growth. Buckle hip straps
on harness so short as to hold plOw out
of ground. Take wheel and jointer off
of plow; let row come between team
and plow, just skim enough surface to
cut pea stalks off. The stalks will be
caught by the chain and dragged until
enough gathers to raise chain, then they
will drop out under chain and chain
will then gather another bunch in like
manner. Size Of punches will be regu-
lated by weight of chain. If gathered
in this way early in the morning while
they are tough none will shatter. This
fix is superior to any patented pea har-
vester | have yet seen. I gathered my
last years crop in this manner with
great success.-P. B. Meyer.

Fighting Hog Cholera.


If the hog cholera should break out
on our farm, then all the pigs that have
been exposed to it should be confined in
small lots so as not to spread the dis
ease on the farm. The pig that has the
cholera should be confined in a pen to
itself, and it should be sprayed three or
four times each day with chloro-naph-
tholeum, twenty parts water to one of
the chloro, and the floor of the pen
should be white with Stacked lime, and
if the pig dies, if it can be done, haul
some logs and wood and burn it in the
pen where it died, but if not, be sure
that every cholera germ is killed on the
way from the pen to the place where
the pig is burned. BY using such vigor-
Gus measures we have succeeded in
stamping the cholera out several times
on our farm.-James Riley, in Farmers
Advocate.

Carnac, and he did not quite like the
light in which Rupert was showing

but his lips frightened, and there was a

During the weeks that followed
young Rupert was very much bored,

avoided his nephew, and was, besides,
too desperately anxious to care for

els it true, Meriel, is it true that all
is at an end between you and Rupert?
Tell me, my darling, is there's there

Sir Spenthorne Carnac was kneeling
beside Meriels sofa, her thin wasted
hand in his. The girl looked up.
"You want to marry me, now my

KIMBERLEY'S VAST WEALTH.
Richness of the Diamond Fields Almost Be-
yond Comprehension.

The figures representing the wealth.
of the Kimberley diamonds are SO
vast as to be hardly within the COM
prehension Of the mind.
In two years after the formation of
the De Beers Company by Cecil
Rhodes in 1888 it had paid $8,OOO,O 900 in
20 per cent. dividends and $4,000 in
interest on the original $4O,OOo,OOo
capital, making a total of So, 1000
or $6,2OO,OOO per year.
Since then the output has greatly in
creased, so that the annual product is
about $2OOOO,OOO The total produc-
ton in the eleven years since the con-
solidation is not far from 5000, OOO,OOG.
This official output, however, by no
means represents the total product of
the mine. The De Beers Company is
nothing more than a vast diamond
trust, which regulates the output OF the
mines. There is no intention on the
part of the De Beers Company to make
diamonds so plentiful that they Will
become cheap. On the other hand, the
price of diamonds has been steadily
GQVdQCcu by Tic lIuSC uAClA ~ 40 AIo
far in excess of what it was at the time
the De Beers combination was formed.
The company meanwhile has been
stocking away great stores Of dia-
monds until it has a reserve fund OF
this nature probably amounting to
scores OF. millions of dollars.
OF course it is impossible to est1-
mate accurately the value of the De
Beers mines, practically all of which
are at Kimberley. Attempts to do SO
have been made and the figures have
ranged all the way from $1,000, OOO 600
to $1,5OOOOO,OO0.
In 1890 there were 1900 Europeans
and $500 natives employed in the
mines. There are now 1880 Euro
peans and $500 natives or Kaffir ne
groes. The miners get from $50 to $50
per week and the day laborers' wages
range from $415 to So per week.
The Kimberley mines cover more
than twenty-six acres, and are sunk
to a depth of from $50 to 500 feet, with
shafts running down from this level
to a deoth of from 500 to 1,200 feet.

Try Winter Oats.

would advise farmers who live
where the spring is backward to try
sowing some fall oats. We have been
raising this variety of oats now for six
years and are in every way satisfied
with them. Sow them the same time
as wheat, putting on two bushels to the
acre. They ripen earlier and are much
heavier than the spring variety. Or
course one has to pay more for winter
oats than the spring oats, yet when
good start is secured they are invalu-
able to the farmer and are without
question the best oats to raise.-J w.

Animal Food for Young Turkeys.

Animal Food for Young Turkeys.
AS long as the supply Of insect food
lasts the young turkeys will make rap
id growth, but as soon as you notice
the grass disappearing and insects less
abundant, begin feeding a small guam
tity Of meat to the young turkeys at
night, so as to promote and continue
the growth. You should not aim to get
them very fat. What you should de-
sire is to secure as large frames and
bone as possible, so as to have some
where to crowd on the meat and fat
later on. Hence do not allow them to
cease growing, but push them until
ready for market, putting them up for
the purpose of being fattened about ten
days before selling. Exchange.

Household Hints.

Add a cup of good cider vinegar to.
the water in which you boil fish.
Boston baked beans can be improved
by adding a cup of sweet cream the last
hour of baking.
Small pickles, olives and capers
for a salad dressing.
Three tablespoonfuls of freshly made
japan tea, with bit of nutmeg, give.
an indispensable flavor to an apple pie.
To give a fine flavor to corned beef
hash use good stock for moistening,
with pinch of salt, sugar and cayenne.
When making tomato soup add raw
cucumber sliced fine, boil soft and
strain with tomato. 1t gives pleasant
seasoning.
A new soda water drink may be
made at home and consists of large
spoonful of ice cream with a generous
supply Of thick chocolate syrup poured
over the top.
A bowl Of hot milk taken immediate
~ before retiring is said by those who
have suffered from insomnia to be q
better soporific than any opiate known
to medical science.
A novel way to make sandwiches is
to use horseradish grated while fresh,
instead Of mustard. Spread in thin
layer upon each buttered slice, and the
result will be found an appetizing sur
prise.

Borers i'm Apple Trees.

If the trees have already been infest-
ed the borers must be taken out with
sharp knife or killed in their holes by
inserting sharp wire. After the trees
have been freed from them, prevent
their further attacks by scrubbing the
trunks once or twice year with
strong soapsuds. If the trunks are COW
cred with rough bark, remove this by
scraping. 1t is very difficult to rid an
orchard of borers after they are once
established.

Shiftlesa Farming.

Now that frost has come it will be
noticed that the corn is yet standing in
some fields, not having been cut at the
proper time. Such corn is dead loss
to the farmer, so far as the fodder is

crop. It is such farmers who abandon
their farms because farming doesn't

Not the dainty lace ones which adorna

common screen, dainty or dotted Swiss
with which many of us are blessed. AS
preliminaries have the ironing bed on
q good, solid table wider than the cur
tain goods, high chair or stool to sit
on. A common chair with a box on it
just the height to suit you will do for
seat. Iron half yard or more of the
goods, being careful to hold the hem,
sides and stripes straight. Roll up like
a picture roll (but not nearly so tight
as far as you have ironed, then go on
in like manner again. When you get
to the top of the curtain you have a
dainty roll, without wrinkle and SO
convenient to lay aside until you are
ready to put it up.-Mrs. w. A. White

SOOd) dAO WdtcI, dAu put Ills eAANnAy
on the burned surface, then wind a
cloth around it to keep the paste in
place for while and the injured por-
ton tightly covered. The pain ceases
when the air is kept from the burned
surface. After a while the soda paste
is removed and the spot covered with,
adhesive plaster. For severe burns APP
ply quickly thick covering of salefa-
tus paste, petroleum, butter or oiled'
cotton, and call a physician.
