A DESTRUCTIVE PEST.
Appearance Of the weevil stoppe,
Pea-Growing In . Certain
Section Of the Coumtry.

Many years ago used to grow acres
Of white field peas for hogs. That was
what they were called then, but since
we have to get seed Of the same from
Canada, where weevils seem not to
bother, the name seems to have been
changed to Canada peas" Iraked the
peas in lunches with horserake when
ripe, the rake tearing them out by the
roots. When dry I stacked them along
side the hog yard like hay, and forked
them into the yard as hogs needed.
Only enough were stored in the barn
to be threshed for seed and for young
pigs the next summer. When warm
weather came the next June the grain
room had not been opened for two or
three weeks, when went to get peas
to soak for some pigs just before wean-
ing, and the sight beheld was pho
tographed on my mind indelibly. A
portion Of the substance of my peas
was running all over the floor and walls
and bins of wheat. corn, oats and bar
ley. The eggs of the pea weevil had
Matched in every pea, consuming about
one-fourth of each grain, and then
emerging in the form of dirty gray
beetles, and I suppose they were on
their travels looking for sunlight and
chance for further development. My
pea-growing for pigs ceased then, as
1t did with all my neighbors, and prob
ably never to be renewed in this Sec
ton of the country.-Galen Wilson, in

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

It pays to prepare the ground well
for the crop.
A low-wheel wagon on the farm is
very handy.
It helps the looks of premises great
~ to whitewash the fences and the out
buildings.
Add a pinch of soda to the water in
which cut flowers are placed. It will
help preserve them.
The advice often given, directly or
Indirectly, to use horses without shoe
ing, is arrant nonsense.
If we learn to run an incubator, it
will always be ready, and sometimes is
available'when setting hens are not.
The orchard should have just as good
attention as any other crop. When the
tree is planted, the land should be thor
oughly prepared.
Potatoes cut to one or two eyes have
always given satisfactory results and
we take no stock in the theory of plant
ing whole potatoes.
Twelve bushels of cooked corn will
make as much pork as II of raw corn.
Fed with Stops the result should be
200 pounds increase in the weight of q
pig.
Haul out the manure and spread it on
the land wherever you can. Do not
handle it but once if you can help it.
It has been decided that it is the better
way to spread it on the surface as soon
az possible.-Western Plowman.

Il saersasas che Storage CAPACITY q
The 0oal ed PEonoees the
Crowth - Crops.

Under all circumstances Il should b
the farmers aim to conserve the moist
ure in the soil-in the arid regions to
reduce - much - possible the labor
and expense Of irrigation, and in humid
regions to protect crops against
droughts. Various means may be en-
ployed for the purpose Of conserving
and economizing the moisture supply
OF soils. Subsoiling IL one Of the most
important Of these means. Several Of
the stations have made careful studies
Of the influence Of subsoiling on soil
moisture. The Wisconsin station de-
scribes this influence substantially as
follows: Subsoiling ~ increases the
storage capacity Of the soil for moist
ure, and (2) increases the rate at which
water will sink into the soil, but (3)
decreases the rate at which it may be
brought back to the surface. Subsoil-
ing also increases the amount of moist
ure available to crops, since plants are
capable of utilizing large proportion
of the moisture present in loose and
coarse-grained soils than of that in
fine-grained and compact soils. As re-
CARDS the best method of subsoiling, Z
report Of the Wisconsin station states:
''Subsoiling to be most effective
should be done in such way as to
leave the soil loose, much as the stub.
BILE pillow leaves it. To accomplish this
much will depend upon the character
of the tool and more upon the condi.
ton of the soil when the work is done
If the soil is to be SO wet as to be
plastic when the blowing is done, then
the effect of the subsoil plow will BIZ
to wedge the portions of the soil, which
are heavily pressed, into an even more
compact and close texture than before
and thus develop condition the op
posite of that sought. To simply form
long groove or channel in the subsoi
by wedging the dirt aside gives little
aid in the direction sought. Suct
work, then, If done at all, should bt
done when the subsoil itself is dry
enough, and this is most likely to oc
cur in the fall after the crop Of tn,
season has withdrawn the moist
ure from it. Subsoiling late, too, leave.

Concentratins the Manure.

Very few farmers have enough stable
manure to fertilize all their lands as
they would like. The best thing for
such farmers to do is to apply this
stable manure mainly to the crops on
which they expect to put the most of
their labor. It does not pay to plant.
cultivate and hoe poor land. Every adj
dit!on Of manure makes the labor more
effective, and therefore more profit
able. With mineral fertilizers it is
different. These are usually applied to
grain crops, for which dressings of $50
to $50 pounds per acre ara usually suf-
fcient for the crop, besides leaving
some to be- taken by the clover after
it., These mineral fertilizers SO soon
become insoluble in the soil that it does
not pay to apply them in large amounts.
A small quantity each year, sufficient
to make the crop It Is applied to, is
aauch better.-Prairie Farmer.

Clover and Timothy Hay.

Clover ana V1mOtny nay
: Clover unless cut before it reaches
the poisoning stage will have when
dried from seven to ten per cent. of al
buminoids, which makes it very nu,;
tritious ration. Timothy, when in its
best estate. which is little before it
has blpssomed, has only four to five per
cent. of albuminoids. If it stands until
dead ripe most of these are changed to
woody fiber, which is very hard to d.
gest. The second growth Of clover Is
much richer than the first. It is hard
to cure it without discoloring from ex-
cessive fermentation. If secured in
good order it should be saved for young
stock and for poultry, to be fed to each
in small amounts with other feed.

satisfaction as that of rape. and espe.

who have sown few acres of rape dur.
ing the past year report the most sat
isfactory results from its feeding; and
we look for much larger acreage to
be sown this year. We would advise
anyone who has a few sheep to feed
to sow at least one or two acres Of rape,
and note carefully the results Of such
feeding this year.-Prairie Farmer.

A SENSIBLE LETTER.
Western Canadian settler Writes
20 ~ lllsaeis Fraena.

In writing to MIR. r. Hawkyartl. Of
Rockford. ILL.,. Mr.. G. Simpkins. Of Le-
due. Alberta. Western Canada. land to
which points especially low rates are be-
ing quoted over all lines Of railway,
says:
Dear Sir-Rec'd your letter the 18th
inst. We have had no snow till after
Christmas. and the cattle have been
able to live out, and are all in good con-
dition. 1t is showing now. That is
what we want-have about 6 inches
now. The old settlers say when we
have lots of snow it means q good crop
the coming season. Itnever drifts here.
The weather is calm and bright. We
do not have to dress any heavier than in
Illinois, and the horses never shiver
with the cold when we take them from
the warm stable, as they do in Illinois.
1t has not frozen in the stable this
| winter.
The most of the stock runs out, but
! there is no need of it, for timber is plen-
tiful and there is no expense to build
good stables and houses. We have good
log houses and they are very warm.
Two men can put up q house 16x24 in
two days. There are good rails for
fences. We live ten miles from the coal
district. the price being 50 cents up to
$500. The land is a very rich, loamy soil,
from 6 inches to several feet in depth;
the hills have the deepest. 1t is roll
ing country, and excellent for stock of
all kinds. Sheep do well, and there
are plenty of small lakes where the
cattle can get good water. The cattle
got out of grass last year, about the
middle OF, April, and run at large; un-
less in charge of herdsman, we have
to fence against them. Wheat goes
from IS to 60 bushels per acre, oats so
and 80, very often a hundred. AS to pota-
toes. neighbor planted bushels and
dug 226 bushels, and no bugs. Roots of
all kinds do we'll. There are lots of
strawberries and lots of red raspberries
black and red currants, and gooseber-
ries. where the fire has not burnt them.
Cattle are scarce. I have been trying
to buy some for months and have got
only three two-year-old, and paid $50
each.
Hogs are scarce, but can be got. They
sell for cents dressed. and cost more
for stockers. Wheat, 50 cents per bushel;
oats, 25 cents; eggs, 80 cents dozen;
butter, IS and 90 cents; poultry was IL
and II cents dressed. Sheep are scarce
If you come, bring your farm tools
but bring no seeders; we use drills
Bring cows, but do not bring horses
unless you are an experienced hand
in shipping them, for SO many OF
them are hurt in shipping. There
will be plenty of work for binder
Two good horses will break, but three
lighter are better. The horses you
get here can work without grain, but
are better with it. 1t will be hard tc
tell what prices horses will be. for the
immigration will be very large tho
coming spring. They could not b.
had last spring at one time. They claim
the best time to break is June, but my
experience is to break in the spring
and work it. You can break till the
middle of July.

Keeping the udder. Clean.

Unless great care is observed much
dirt will get into the milk at milking
time. One of the easiest ways to keep
the cows clean I have found is to cut
the hair off the udder and around it
with a small pair of BARRIERS clippers.
It is much pleasanter to milk to have
this hair out Of the way, and it also
removes the greatest harbor for dirt
and filth. Then If any dirt becomes
attached to the udder or teats it is q
very easy matter to wash it of and
dry it without having lot of dirty
water remain to drip into the pail,
which is the case when the hair is thick
and long.-National Stockman.
