Curing Cow Peas-I would not think
of cutting pea vines unless pretty well
assured of at least three to four days
of dry weather. 1 commence cutting
when the first pods begin to turn a lit
tie yellow; there will be lots of imma-
tured pods and some blossoms. l pre-
fer to sow plenty of seed, so that the
stems will not grow too large and
rank; cut in the forenoon and in the
afternoon bunch up with forks into
small punches. Separate the vines so
as to have every bunch free. This will
facilitate loading on the wagon. These
punches can be turned over, but not
shaken up, for two or three days.
They will be thoroughly cured If you
have had a good wind or sunny wealth
err and the leaves will not shed to any
extent. l like this plan better than
raking The vines will be all snarled
together and will be hard to separate
if raked in windows. When raked with
a wire tooth rake they are covered with
dust. G. w. Morrill,

Is the KeiGer Pear seIf-steriIes

The Kieffer pear. the growing of
which forms a very important indus
try in the South, has been closely in
.vestigated by the Delaware station in
regard to its fertilization. and the con-
clusion reached seems to be that it is
practically self-sterile. says American
gardening CARRIER and lie Conte are
suitable pollenizers of the same class,
but such pears as Flemish Beauty,
Clairgeau, Anjou and Boussock are also
recommended.
Prof. w. S. Fletcher. of Washington.
when at Cornell. studied closely the
question of pear fertilization, and is
quoted as saying:
"rhe self-sterility of fruits is not a
constant factor with any one variety.
Under some conditions a variety may
be self-steri e, or unable to set fruit
when planted alone; and under other
conditions IL may be self-sterile, or able
to set fruit when planted alone. Self
sterility varies with conditions, like
the form, color and size of the fruit.
However, there are some varieties
which are more often self-sterile than
others, and among these is the Kieffer
pear. In some places II fruits well in
large blocks. but more often. especial
ly on the Delaware peninsula. ii is a
shy bearer when planted alone.
should consider il very unsafe to plant
a large block OF Keiffer without mix
ing with II some other variety for
cross pollination. The choice OF the va
riety for pollinating Kieffer depends
chiefly on two things: First. that the
pollenizer shall blossom at the same
time as the Kieffer so that the pollen
may be carried from flower TO flower
second. tlat the pollenier shall cause
the pistil of the Kieffer blossom TO de-
velop into fine fruit: In other words.
that there shall be a mutual affinity
between the two. Regarding the first
point. IL is well known that the Kief-
fer and other varieties OF the Chinese
type usually blossom somewhat earlier
than the common varieties of pears. In
most cases. therefore. the variety Sc
ected as a pollenier for Kieffer must
be one OF the Kieffer type. lie Conte
Is most commonly used for this pur-
pose. but IL has the great disadvan-
tage OF bearing a very poor quality OF
fruit. CARRIER, another Sand Pear by
brid. II probably superior TO II for this
purpose. Smiths hybrid Is also used.
In some sections the Kieffer blossom
approximates to the common varieties
Of the Bartlett type. In such cases the
latter should always be selected as pol
lenizers for Kieher instead 81 CARRIER

A CURE FOR SNAKE BITE.

The condition of Wiley Ryckeley,
the 11-year-old son of Lieut.. C. E.
Ryckeley. who was bitten by a snake
Thursday. was much improved last
night. and the attending physician
thinks he will recover without any
serious results. The lad was one of a
party of boys who had been spending
a number of days camping on a farm
seven miles down the river. Thursday
morning he started out to look for
some eggs for the lady of the house
near where they were camped. and
while engaged in the search was bitten
on the foot, just below the instep, by
a snake. He killed the snake at once
He did not know what variety of snake
ii was, but soon discovered that 1t was
poisonous from the fact that his foot
and ankle began to swell rapidly. His
companions applied a number of re-
storatives and among other things cut
open a chicken and applied the soft.
warm flesh to the wound made by the
bite. The flesh absorbed the poison
from his system rapidly. and 1t was at
forwards noticed that it had turned
green, so much of the venom had II
taken from the wound.

Dangerous Weeds.

The encroachment of dangerous
weeds on farm fields in many sections
has become alarming, says the Rural
Sun. In early spring fields may be seen
completely covered with wild mustard
(Brassica arvenses) bloom, looking
like solid sheet of yellow. Every
other growth is completely crowded
out. Later on, other fields become
white with the bloom of the pestifer
Gus daisy Then there is the PERM
cious horse nettle, sometimes called
sand biar (Solanum carolinense),
with its blush white or blue potato
like flowers, which are the forerun-
ners of a good harvest of greenish-
yellow globular seed receptacles. The
Canada thistle is another invader of
dangerous character. Any of these
weeds appearing on the farm, Vigilant
warfare should be followed until they
are completely subdued. Too many
farmers are too Indifferent to the dan
gerous character of these and other
weeds. 1t is much better to lose a lit
tie time when the weed pests first put
in an appearance than later on to be
compelled in defense of crops to spend
a great deal of time and labor in try
ing to get rid of the evil of a vigorous
start of pestiferous weed. Roadsides
are a pTOlluC source LOT lHe ulSIIlDu-
ton of noxious weeds on adjoining
farms. Along the line of railways is
also another source. From the latter
place are many new weeds introduced
by the sitting out of dirt from the
passing of freight cars. In this way,
weeds unknown to the community
spring into existence and often become
quite widely disseminated before their
dangerous character is even suspect
ed.
Whenever a farmer discovers a plant
unknown to him he should send a
specimen of it. leaves and bloom to
the Agricultural Department at Wash
ington for Identification In that way
he may be informed in time If the
plant is a pernicious one and at once
destroy 1t on sight. Where fields have
become infested with weeds such as
described, probably the quickest and
only successful method to get rid of
them is to put such fields into crops
that will require thorough cultivation.
1t will be necessary to have such crops
for two or three years, then the fields
may be seeded down with wheat or
rye in the fall and grass seed sowed
later on in early spring. There are
many other weeds that can be very
properly classed as of a dangerous
character. The farmer who looks upon
all weeds as enemies to growing crops,
and aims to destroy them, is following
the only plan to secure NEEDLESS
fields. Weeds not only are unsightly,
but they rob the growing crops of
plant food and occupy the space that
crops of value can much better fill.
Weeds in the meadow lessen the value
of the hay either for selling or feeding
on the farm. Weeds in pasture fields
in time run out the desirable grasses
and clover, because the stock will eat
all around them. Then when the pas
ture becomes short. the cattle will par
take of the weeds to the injury of the
flavor of the milk and butter. 1t can
readily be understood that weeds do
damage on the farm in various ways.
