The Cost of 1t.
From the New YORK Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
The war with Spain began in April, 1898,
and the expenses of our army to the end
of that fiscal year, exclusive of river and
harbor improvement, were about 81 900,
900, while those of the navy were nearly
$50, 900, 900. During little more than
two months our military activity cost over
S95, 600, 900 more than was expended du-
ring the previous twelvemonth. In 1899
the cost of the military establishment,
emitting river and harbor expenditure, was
nearly 1914, 900, 900, and the cost of the
navy was about s64, 900, 900, making a
total of s27S, 600, 900. Striking off $40, :
900, 900 as the cost of these departments
in normal year, we have over 1907, 900, :
900 increase, and making all possible de-
auctions, the cost of the Philippine war in
1899 must be figured at nearly 1854, 900, :
900. We do not know how much this war
is costing at present, but we do know that
for the year 1900 Congress appropriated for
the payment for military forces S29, LOG, :
900, and that an additional sum of s15, :
1873, 900 is now asked for, while the item of
transportation, for which s17, 500, 900 was
allowed, now calls for $40, 900, 900 more.
Judging from the disbursements this year
and the estimates for 1901, the Philip
pine war will cost us at the rate of $780,
900, 900 for the army alone, while the in
creased charge for the navy and civil list
will be at least $40, 600, 900. What the
Pension bill will eventually be cannot be
foretold. Altogether, the estimate Of
$3.50, 900, 900 as the cost of the war
with Spain, with indefinitely enlarged an
nual expenses in the future, seems not ex-
| cessiye.

Oats and Peas for Grain and soiling


Andrew Baker. New York. in The Country Gentle
We have read with great interest your
recent article on oats and peas. Pehaps
our experience with them as a soiling crop,
and also when grown for the grain, may
be some interest to dairynen.
We began growing them first as a soil
ing crop in 1898, sowing as early in the
spring as possible what we thought our
herd would eat in week, and sowing
each succeeding week, for seven or eight
weeks, 80 that they might be Of the same
quality all the time-as they are at their
best for only about week-using ] bush
els of peas and 2 bushels of oats to the
acre, or at that rate. We found, by
feeding night and morning what the cow
would eat in about an hour, that the COW,
fresh in spring and not allowed to shrink
in her milk flow, would keep up flow of
milk through July and August, nearly
equal to that of May and June on the
best of pasture.
We prepare the ground thoroughly,
then take the grain drill, running the hoes
as deep as we possibly can, sowing one
bushel of Canada field peas to the acre.
Then we set the drill hoes to run as shallow
as they can, and sow bushels of oats to the
acre, drilling the oats crosswise of the peas.
We then roll the ground.
In harvesting, if they stand up well we
cut them with the reaper, throwing off
every other rake, and letting them cure
in the swath; rake with the horse-rake
when the dew is on, then draw when they
become dry. But they are quite apt to
lodge; then we cut with the moving ma
chine, let them lie day or two, rake and
cock them as we do hay, and cure in the
bunch. Some peas will shell in raking,
but we do not consider this loss, as on
this ground we grow our winter wheat.
The peas come up quite thick in the
wheat, and grow until killed by the frost;
but all the time they are growing they are
catching the nitrogen, and l know that |
am using less commercial fertilizer and am
growing better wheat than l did before
growing the peas.

A Tragedy in Turnips.

From New England village, says the
New York Sun, comes true story OF the
depths Of iniquity that sometimes find
Judgment in the youthful masculine breast
A minister in a country town, his son OF
IL or IA years, and the members OF the
formers congregation are the dramatic
personages. In,he first scene the minister
speaks of the coming donation party.
1--WE haven't had anything given us lately
but turnips. I hope they won't bring
turnips when it comes to the regular dona
ton he sighed. Several days later JAS.
Albert, the son, stood in need of correc-
ton. "You'll be sorry if you lick me, =
he said to his father. But the minister,
refusing to be warned, did his duty in the
chastising line. The day before the party
james Albert was busy. He was taken
with a sudden fondness for calling, and
from early morning till late at night he kept
it up, visiting nearly all the families Of the
church. As he left the last house he said:
'sComing to the donation, aren't you ?
Be sure to, now. o, by the way, don t
say ANYTHING about it, but father awful
fond of turnips. There mightn { be any,
SO if you'd just as lief, why don't you
bring some. .
ssWhy, of course, James Albert. Why
didn't you say SO, first off? We've got
plenty to spare.
james Albert went home with peace in
his heart. The eventful night came. At
the first ring of the bell the minister him
self went to the door and met leading
church member, who came accompanied
by his family and by large basketful of
turnips. The next family that came
brought turnips, and so did the next.
Each family as it came carried from dozen
to 20 turnips, and one man, who had ex-
tensive gardens, brought a wagon load.
The entrance was the same in each in
stance, and the remarks varied little.
ssWell, Elder, I've got something here
you'll like. That son of yours tells me
you know how to enjoy good turnip,
was what the first man said, and that s
about what the last man said, too. The
minister could have wept, if he hadn' t been
SO angry, when he looked at the results Of
his donation party-a small amount of cash
and cellarfull of turnips.
ssJames Albert, he said, with pecu-
liar sepulchral ring in his voice, ''you will
eat turnips three times day all winter
and as long as they last
