The Farmers Education.

The State of Louisiana appreciates
the advantages that the agricultural
class derive from properly conducted
Farmers Institutes, and encourages
the holding of these by liberal appro-
priations. These institutes are held
annually in different sections of the
State, and the proceedings, together
with the papers read and the addresses
made, are published in book form, and
the books are circulated gratitiously
among the farmers. By this means
those who are unable to attend the
meetings of the institute derive the
benefit of learning the ideas and opin-
ions Of those who participated, and who
are among the leading agriculturists of
the South.
At one of these institutes an address
was made on the education of the
farmer. The speaker took the broad
and sensible ground that the farmer
had something to live for and to work
for except money. That while money
was desirable and essential all the COM
forts of home and all the advantages
OF progressive citizenship should not

| are at the end of the nineteenth cen
tury. We cover the barn floor fully
two feet deep with the vines, and use
four horses. After tramping over the
vines for few minutes they are turned
and shaken up and the tramDing re-
peated. Once again this is done to in
sure the last pod being thrashed. The
floor is covered three times before the
peas are shoveled up. They are then
cleaned with the tanning mill. In this
way, last fall, we thrashed two hundred
and ten bushels OF clean peas in four
days. On three Of the days it was
raining. The peas shell out better,
however, when the atmosphere is dry.
In the whole lot there were only two
bushels of broken peas. There were
several tons of haulm, which was fed to
the stock, and all was eaten, though
considerably damaged much more
than it would have been had the sea-
son not been so unfavorable. Peavines,
feed, seem to retain an appetizing fla
vor, to cattle at least, no matter how
much weather they may be exposed
to.
In case one has no barn with suit
able floor to thrash on, it is an easy
matter to get five or six hundred feet
of lumber and lay a temporary floor
for the purpose on the ground, with a
fence close to it to keep the horses in
place. The thrashing could be done on
dry days with little loss of peas. A
floor twelve feet by forty feet is ample
for four horses. Twelve feet is about
the right width, as they cover the whole
space every round.

DeLand, Fla, Wednesday, August z, 1899.

| be sure to reduce speed of machine, and re-
move part of teeth from cylinder, thus pre-
venting breaking up of peas. The other meth
cd is to pick pods from vines by hand, in the
field, then thresh with hand machine, two men
easily turning out five to eight bushels Of clean
| peas per hour.
Ii you want to your growing crop iOr
pasture, you can turn on any time after a
vigorous growth of plant is secured ut if to
be used for dry feed, or for silO, I would not
cut vines until in bloom.
| Commenting on the remarks about thresh-
| ing hulling machines for peas, the editor of
the Fruit Grower says:
All machines so far tried in threshing cow
peas, even with part of the teeth removed,
break too many of the peas for seed purposes,
though, of course this would not matter where
they are to be fed out. Threshing out by
tramping with horses on the barn floor is a
very good plan if the atmosphere is not too
damp.
This matter of threshing cow peas is
an important one where the peas are to
be saved for hay. There are several
hulling machines on the market, and
some of them, we are told, do salts
factory work.
A writer in the Southern Planter
cut his vines last year with a mower,
and found that two men could clear
the way fast enough. There are at
tachments that can be applied to any
mower made in Guelph. Canada, which
are described and illustrated by Prof
Thomas Shaw in a bulletin issued by
the United States Agricultural Depart
ment that would make the. mower an
ideal machine for harvesting the cow
pea for seed when there is no objec
ton to saving the vines. The attach
ments were made for the mower SO
that it could be used for harvesting the
Canada field pea. These peas lie al
most flat on the ground for the most
of their length; yet, with these attach
ments, they are raised up and cut with
the greatest facility. The reaper, how
ever, does such good work, the writer
says, that we still stick to it as long as
it lasts. But if anyone contemplates
buying new machine for harvesting
the COW pea, he suggests that he first
look into the merits of the mower as
rigged up for cutting the Canada field
pea.
For storing in the barn or shed, saws
the correspondent, the vines should
not be piled more than eight or nine
feet deep, nor be tramped, unless they
are very dry, for fear of heating. For
thrashing them, we have not found any
way better than tramp1ng them out
with horses. We tried two kinds of
cylinder machines; also the fail. The
fail was too slow; the machines broke
from quarter to half of the peas
even with the concave teeth out. The
machines could not be run so slow as
not to break them without the vines
winding on the cylinder.
Ihrashing peas with horses is
method not to be ridiculed, though we

WATCH THE GROWTH OF TREES
Cornell Students VIII BE Taught the
Theory of Forestry ON Tract in
AdirOndacks.

Prof. John Clifford, recently elected
to the chair of forestry in Cornell uni
versity, has returned to Princeton after
spending six weeks in the Adirondack
mountains. With Prof. Roth, of Coz
nell, he has been overlooking the wood
land now in control of the forestry de-
partment of Cornell university.
Prof. Clifford spoke of the forestry
department as follows:
"A.year ago Cornell secured 10000
acres Of woodland in the Adirondack
mountains near Axton, N. Y, for the
exclusive use of her forestry depart
ment. This land has been divided into
a number of sections and several seed
beds have been laid out, in which have
been planted over 100000 small trees
of different varieties. Prof. Roth. of
Cornell, and / have been in these sec
tions inspecting the woodland and di-
recting the work of..the surveyors"
The students in forestry will study
the theory Of the subject from October
until April and from then until COM
mencement they will study the practi-
cal side in the forest. Cornell is the
only college in the United States that
has forestry department. Prof. Gift
ford will take up his regular duties at
Cornell September 20.

COMEDY FINISH TO SENSATION
Woman Arrested on Charge of
Murder Produces Supposed Vic
tim Alive.

For nearly a month the citizens of
northeastern Berks county and west
ern Lehigh county, Pa, have been revel-
ing in all sorts of sensational stories
concerning the disappearance OF George
Brown, vagabond, who, with his wife
and five children, has for years been
living upon the fruits OF the industry of
others. The story that was generally
accepted as true was the one that
Brown, who is as frail as he Is lazy, had
quarreled with his Amazonian spouse,
and as result rested peacefully among
the mud suckers at the bottom Of
Moselem ice dam. Constables and de-
tectives, scenting fame and reward,
dragged the dam. searched the woods
and peered into every mine hole that
they could find, but nowhere was there
a trace Of the body of Brown.
In the meantime Mrs. Brown disap-
peared with her brood, and the officers
turned their attention from their
search for the dead to seeking for the
living. Wilkeebarre, Allentown and
other places reported that Browns wife
and daughters were ''in their midst"
but they disappeared before arrests
could be made. Finally, however, Con-
stable Isaac Hoch, of Fleetwood,
learned that Mrs. Brown was in the vi
cinity of Spring Creek grove, near Ma
cungi, and. armed with warrant, is
sued by Justice of the Peace Fretz,
charging her and her 1s-year-old daugh-
ter Rosie with being accessories to the
disappearance of the husband and
father, started in pursuit. Within few
hours he overlook the women as they
were heading for the hills, and placed
them under arrest.
When Mrs. Brown learned that the
charge against her was a serious one,
she weakened at once, and turned as
though to make break for liberty. In
stead, however, she faced toward the
deep woodland and shouted: George,
George, come here" and before the
astonished constable stood the missing
Brown, whose body was supposed to
have furnished bait for Moslem fishes.
That settled the case. Mrs. Brown and
her daughter were taken to Fleetwood,
where, at hearing before Squire
Fretz, Constable Hoch was witness
for the defendants, who, having pro-
duced the missing man, were sent on
their way rejoicing.
