Curing Pea HAY.

One great trouble in making pea
hay is getting it cured up nicely.
Where the crop of vines is very heavy,
even when the weather is clear and
dry, it has to be turned and stirred;
but when once nicely cured it makes
the best of hay for all kind of stock,
and especially young growing stock
and milch cows. Pea vines should be
cut, after the morning dew has gone
and let lay in the sun long enough to
wilt, then hauled in and spread out so
they will not lay over six inches to
one foot thick over the loft. After
these get we'll dried out fork up in one
corner and haul in another lot and
treat likewise. By beginning on the
crop as soon as it will do to make hay,
cutting and curing load or so at
time, one can soon have lot of fine
feed. Or where there is large hay
shed it can be stacked in foot or so
deep, then cross laid with rails OF
poles, leaving a space of six inches or
so. Then stack in another layer of
hay ani so on till the shed is full,
having the shed so constructed that
every eighteen inches you can put in
q rail or pole floor or loft that can be
readily removed. Begin at the bot
tom, putting in layer of hay, then a
floor, then hay, then another floor,
and so on, till the shed is full, leaving
an air space between each layer of hay.
Do not put the vines over one foot
thick. Where there is neither barn
nor shed, pea vines can be cured in
hollow stacks. The way to construct
a hollow stack is: first lay down two
or three big rails or poles, cross lay
with rails so as to have the vines six
inches to one foot from the ground
Get several small poles and set them
up so they will stand out at the base
and come together at the top, cone
shaped; tie the tops together. Stack
the pea vines round the poles about
two feet thick, leaving the center
open, so you have air space under and
through the center of the stack. Do
not make the stack too thick around
the poles else it may heat. The vines
should be cut and cured in the sun
until they are well wilted before
stacking. If it should turn wet cover
the stack with canvas. Let stand in
the stack until we'll cured, when il
should be hauled into shelter. Pea
hay will not keep standing out in the
weather. The hollow stack is only
intended to cure, not to keep stand
ing out. Pea hay can be baled and
sold at fair price, and is fast coming
to the front as a first-class feed for
horses. s.-The Epitomist.

Great Author. But Poor speller

1t is interesting to perceive how
lively power of observation and ex-
preston, what a degree of maturity,
alike in intelligence, character and
reading, Robert Louis Stevenson at
eighteen or nineteen already pos
sessed. In one particular, it must be
confessed. namely, in spelling, he
shows himself remarkably boyish.
But Stevenson in truth never learnt
to spell quite in a grown-up manner;
and for this master of English letters
a catarrh was apt to be a "cattarrh, F"
and a neighbor a "nieghbor," and
literature '1itterature" to the end. To
reproduce all these trips and slips in
print would be mere pedantry; and
the normal orthography has been
adopted in his letters, except where
he himself is aware Of his difficulties
and laughs over them.-Scribner's S
Magazine.

What Drunkards Cost Boston.

Last year the city OF Boston expended
the sum OF Sl15,S02 for the support oil
drunkards in the House OF Correction In
Suffolk County, according to figures fur.
nlshed by Penal Institutions Commissioner
Marshall. While all of Suffolk County.
which includes besides Boston the city Of
Chelsea and the towns OF Revere and Win
throp, furnishes inmates for the penal in.
stitutions, the entire cost OF maintaining
the institutions is borne by the city OF
Boston. This is because the control OF the
institutions is left wholly to Boston.
Commissioner Marshall says OF Deer ISL
land: "There were SAT committals to this
institution for drunkenness, and the ag-
gregate OF the time served by those COM
mitted was equivalent to 1913 years. With
per capita cost OF maintenance OF S64.7O,
the cost OF the maintenance was Gill, ,2l2."
At the South Boston House OF Correction
"there were 107 eommittals for drunken.
ness, and the aggregate OF the time served
by those committed was 13, AGO days. With
per capita cost ofmaintenance Of S124.47,
the cost of maintenance OF the above num-
Der was S4590"

Force of Habit.

A trick OF habit to be noticed in
many returned volunteer soldiers was
publicly observed at the horse show
the other day. An exhibitor, who
was an officer and did good work in
Cuba, was approached by his groom
to receive orders. The orders given,
up few the hand of the groom to his
hat. Bat, to the astonishment of
every one around, up also flew the
hand of the ex-soldier to his hat, and
the groom's gesture was responded to
with a military salute. In moment
the smile of the ex-officer showed that
he realized what a victim of habit he
had become, but the first impulse ap-
peared to be irresistible. ''The fact
is," commented another ex-soldier,
ut will be some time before any of
us get over the habit of returning a
salute. Thanks to those long months
of practice, it has become kind of
second nature. New York Evening

shortens life by an average OF five to six
years. This is consistently and unequlvo-

years by English insurance companies, with
special sections for abstainers. They give

A ChanpIon,s Testimony.

A champion cyclist was asked: "Do you
ever take spirits OF any kind9 1 mean
whisky or brandy"
"No; they cut the breath short. You
can't race and take brandy. It may help a
little, but 1t leaves you worse. l believe
that II five or six men we're together In a
race, say two miles from the tape, and one
was handed a drink OF brandy, 1t might let
ten miles, or had long race before him,
he would find great difficulty In riding
His breath would be cut short. The man
who drinks brandy or whisky will soon be
broken-winded."

"No; 1t may help for short spurt, but 1t
Is no good for long run. Only tenn

Thoroughbred Fowls.

"Where is the value of thorough
bred poultry?" said farmer to me
the other day. 81 do not see why
common poultry sells at eight cents
pound and thoroughbred at from 80 to
So a head" Now, why thorough
breds should be worth more than the
common stock found with many of our
farmers is easily explained. Many
farmer to-day is keeping from fifty to
100 fowls of the old common varieties
or mongrels, inbred and inbred for
years. He does not take the interest
in them that the man would who has
used his hard cash, time and brains
to produce pure, profitable, thorough
bred stock; in fact, he takes no in
terest in them at all, for the sight of
them gives him no pleasure. Eggs
are few aud far between, and he finds
no profit in them. But let that same
farmer invest in a few thoroughbreds
and his mind changes. He smiles
when he looks at his flock, and cares
for them properly. He takes pride in
showing them to his friends, and they
yield for him a good supply of eggs,
that are uniform in color, and, instead
of there being loss in keeping poul-
try, he finds that they are paying him
better than his mixed-up varieties, or
better even than many of his other
branches of farming. A small flock
of fowls can be kept with very little
expense by utilizing the scraps and
waste from the pantry, which makes
the very best feed for the production
of eggs. And 1 believe that a great
many of our farmers would find it
more profitable to keep only small
flock of from fifteen to twenty-five
fowls than to keep seventy-fve OF 100,
as many of them are doing; Or to keep
only few until they know better how
to handle them protitably. A few
hens will supply the family with an
abundance of eggs at very small ex-
pense if they are we'll kept, and will
give their owner much more pleasure
in looking after them than if they
were three. times what he could care
for ". NJ. Couch, in Indiana Farmer.
