Caring of Cow Pea Hay.

The curing of COW pea hay so as to
properly preserve it is difficult unless
the conditions are favorable. The
crop should be cut when the seed pods
are about four inches long. If allowed
to become too dry The leaves will crum-
BILE, and if too damp the hay may be
moldy in the NOW, They are said to
keep best when stored with timothy
hay, as the hay absorbs any danpness
existing in the pea vines. Leaving
aside the curing of COW peas for hay
they will be found very serviceoble

WORLDS BOOK PRODUCTION.
Interesting But Faulty Figures Secured
from a French Source.

: from a Preach Source.
A French authority gives some inter-
esting figures as to the annual produc-
ton of books. In 1895. according to
this statement, G,516 new books and
new editions were issued in Great Brit
ain, 5,469 in the United States, 23,G07 in
Germany, l2,495 in France and 0,437 in
Italy. These, are remarkable figures,
but before any deductions are made
from them it'would@be desirable to have
some further information as to the mun-
ner in which the books have been conf
piled. Does anyone seriously suppose
that more books are printed and pub
lished in Italy than in. the United
States? The fact is that the biblio-
graphical. methods sof the countries
named are so dissiinilar that accurate
comparison. is. IMPOSSIBLE The lists of
publications given.in the British trade
journals are, VIGOROUSLY; incomplete.
Probably they include all that is inl-
portant from the booksellers point of
view, but they take little or no account
of the analogues of academical disser
tations, reprints of magazine articles

of other pamphlets and small books

Ing value on par with marsh grass or
salt hay. But horses like it, and it is al
ways in demand in the cities. Farmers
who sell their timothy and retain their
clover will get better prices, and at the

made more valuable by using the clo-
