The games played by the Giants in their
opening series with the Champions were
pleasant revelation to the New York fans
who witnessed them. The fact that they
have had no favorable weather for spring
practice was a serious handicap, yet the
exhibitions they have given are highly sat
isfactory. The first game was lost by an
unfortunate error, while the second was
won by superior play With such stars "a

In advising; an eastern New York
correspondent Country Gentleman
says: The black eyed cowpea is consid-
cred the best. Sow ~ to 2 bushels per
acre. There Is no need of planting
them until the weathe is rather warm,
from the FIRST Of June until the last OF
July. In many places in New York
they do not form n den Sc mass of green
material. as the clIn nate Is hardly
warm enough to fully develop them.
They are often planted in the south
after the corn Is G to 2 inches high,
three or four peas bein,; put In near
the hill. The corn serves to keep them
up and the two plants re harvested
together. A few have 81 lcceeded ad-
mirably in raising the cow pea In New
York, but it is doubtful If TT is any bet
ter than the Canada or mar rowfat pea.
In our experience we have been led
to prefer the marrowfat to the Cana
da pea because the leaves are broader,
it grows more erect and clin.gs better
to the oats with which 1t Is sown.
The only possible objection to using the
marrowfat instead Of the Canada pea
Is that tho seed costs about 70 per
cent more. The green manure crops
should be plowed under lust before or
at the time they are fully mature. If
left to die upon the grou nd, the vines
or STALKS do not tighten ul) the soil and
produce the beneficial physical results
that they do when plowed under. In
the ease Of the cowpea 1t should be
plowed under before frcst or immedi-
ately after Rye may then be sown
in order to cover the ground during the
winter II should be plowed under
not later than the last OF May the fol.

BUCKWHEAT.
Planting Time In Various Sections.
Some of Its Uses.

The bulk of the buckwheat produced
In this country is grown in New York
and Pennsylvania. While a fair crop
may be made on very poor soil, like
everything else, it does a good deal
better ON good soil well prepared.
Sandy loans are n favorite soil for
buckwheat, especially when 1t has
been an old pasture or meadow that is
TO be plowed up, but 1t will doSsyell on
almost any soil that is not too wet. 1t
should not be too rich or the crop will
lodge, and no fresh manure should be
used. The ground should be quite
thoroughly prepared.
In western New York planting time
is the week before the 4th of July. In
the extreme north it may be as early
as the middle of May, while in some or
the southern states planting is deferred
until August. 1t may be sown broad
cast or in drills, and half bushel of
seed is enough ON good soil. 1t ripens
very unevenly and if not harvested
will bloom all through the season. The
best crop comes from the earliest ripen-
ing grain, however, and if not cut
when the first seeds are ripe these will
be lost. as it skaters easily. Many cut
when the dew is on to prevent shatter-
ing as much as possible. 1t must be
handled carefully in harvesting on this
account. In addition to the foregoing
advice the Iowa Homestead has emu
merated some of the uses of the crop
as follows:
AS to the uses of the crop, it is good
poultry feed and mixed with corn
makes good pork. 1t is also a favorite
grain for fitting up horses quickly and
giving them a nice, sleek coat. The
straw, if well cured, is relished by
both sheep and cattle, and it is also
good crop to plow under and is often
used as a catch crop when something
occurs to interrupt ones original plans.
When employed as a crop to plow un-
der, two crops a year are often grown
1t is, of course, not as good as clover
for this purpose. but 1T has the advan-
tage that it will grow on soils that will
not produce a crop of clover, and
hence it is often used to renoyate very
poor lands. 1t is one of the best crops
known as a spaother'mg crop for quack
grass or other weeds of a similarly
tenacious character, but when 1t IS
used for this purpose the ground
should be very thoroughly prepared
and the seeding should be heavy, as
much as two to two and half bushels
per acre, and as soon as it is in bloom
it should be ploFed under, and, after
being narrowed, reseeded again the
same season. Quack grass yields to
this kind of treatment more readily
perhaps than TO any other.

WHERE PRICES ARE STEADY.
The Mountain Dealer Objected to

"That reminds me indirectly" said
the other drummer, "of yarn | heard
lately over in South Carolina told at
the expense of a peculiarly guileless
old chap who keeps a little crossroads
store up in the mountains. Everybody
wears boots in that part of the country,
and. as the story goes, the old fellow
had been buying his stock for many
years of a manufacturer in a big city
not 1000 miles away. He paid So a
pair for his boots when he first went
into business, and the maker had con-
tinued charging him the same figure
year after year regardless of the fact
that the market price had been steadily
going down. The old storekeeper, Sc
Guided from the world in his mountain
home, never dreamed that he vas be-

bills with clOcklike punctuality.
"At last, when that grade of boots
was quoted ut $3.50, the manufacture
er's conscience smote him, and he de-
cided to make amends. So he wrote
the country merchant, saying that
there had been a considerable decrease
in the price of leather, and he was glad
to state that he would be able to let
him have the last lot of boots he order
ed at 81 pair. This, he added, was a
special low rate, made on account of
personal esteem and the fact that he
had been a regular customer for such a
long period. A few days afterward the
conscientious manufacturer was amaz-
ed to receive a letter running some
thing like this:

let me have them boots at s., but l wish you
would please keep the price the same as what it
was before. have been selling them boots for SIC
