Use Weeders on Farms.

plants. In loose soil it's work is ideal
In tougher soil it is even worse

has cut out the middles and slightly

in cultivation, but it must be used on

THE USEFUL COW PEA,
1t Furnishes Excellent Forage and
Feed and Is Exceedingly Nalu-
able as n Fertilizer.

The cow pea may be said to be grown
all over the country and yet it is not
grown on one farm in a thousand on
which it ought to be grown. 1t has
been a favorite legume in the south
where it has been grown for $50 years,
and yet, perhaps, it may be truthfully
said that even there it's vast value has
not been fully appreciated. 1t is sup
posed that the seed was first brought
from India or China. The COW pea is
really a bean. There are many varie-
ties, and they differ in character from
a compact bush about IL inches high,
with single stem, having short
branches, to vines that run like the
vines of sweet potatoes or melon vines.
The vines are sometimes 20 feet long.
The pods are from four to 16 inches
long. The whippoorwfll variety APP

is exceedingly valuable as a fertilizer.

Look Wen to the sheen

In the spring sheep need careful
attention. Lambs drop then, and
feeble and should have extra care.
There should be a room provided to
be used as a hospital, where any
weak or ailing ones may be taken
for better care and more liberal feed
ing if needed. Just before lambs
drop, clip any filthy tag locks from
the udder and escutcheon up to the
tail. While sheep require consider
able care to grazing time, it is no
more work with 100 sheep than with

little heterogeneous, or bacteria,
which take up the free nitrogen, from
the gases of the soil, and nitric
acid is formed, and nitrogen, as we all
must know, is indispensable to plant
growth. These bacteria are found in
the nodules upon the roots. Every
leguminous plant does not have them,
as the reader has probably already
learned from articles that have APP
peared in these columns; and in some
experiments, soil that contains these
micro-organisms has been added to
soil that did not contain them, for the
purpose of inoculating it. So far as
the writer knows there is no evidence
that the plant will not grow as well.
or about as well, without these bac-
terra as with them, but it can be of no
value as a fertilizer, in the usual way
that the roots of legumes are thus
valuable, unless the micro-organism
are working on the roots. However, it
is SO seldom that the roots OF the cow
pea are not fully equipped for the per-
Torrance of their office as a fertil-
lzer that we may regard the plant as
practically perfect in this regard A
farmer in Indiana found it impossible
to grow clover. He consulted the
writer, and SO far as could be seen
there was nothing in the conditions
to produce the failures. But that is
often the case; the clover will not
grow, and the cause is hidden. He was
advised to try cow peas, and the re-
suit has been all that could be desired.
The peas furnished better hay than
the clover, and improved the fertility
OF the soil just as much. There is q
vast area of land in the country which
is too poor to grow clover, but will
grow peas, and it should be fortified
in this way. But the feeding value of
the vines and peas greatly exceeds
their value as a fertilizer It is be-
coming more and more the practice
though contrary to theory-to re-
move the vines for feeding purposes.
and to depend upon the roots for fer
tilizing the soil. It is even claimed
that the roots fertilize as fully as the
whole plant would. This, no doubt.
is g. mistake, but we believe that it
does not pay to turn under the vines.
1t is true, too, it must be confessed,
that there is danger in turning under
SO much green stuff. Possibly it may
render the soil sour. But if this re-
suit fails to occur, there must be more
fertility in the whole plant than there
is III the roots. 1t is very doubtful,
however, IT, under the most favorable
circumstances, it would pay to lose all
this excellent forage and feed.-Agri-
cultural Epitomist.

WHEN TO PLANT CORN.
Under Favorable Conditions, Author
tiles Say, There Is an Advantage
in Early Planting.

In experiments at the Indiana sta
ton it was found that the earliest
planting MAY y yielded the largest
crop CAL bushels per acre), while the
latest planting yielded about one
fourth less (32 bushels per AGREE. The
time required for the crop to mature
decreased as the time of planting
was delayed. A delay of 80 to 40
days in planting shortened the time
required for the corn to mature
from two to three weeks. At a Kan
sas station the average results of
experiments in this line carried on
planting in the beginning of May
gave the best results, and at the IL
linoiS station the average results Of
similar experiments were in favor of
the paintings made from May to
Is, with tendencies slightly favoring
the later dates.
The experiments Indicate, there
fore, says the department of agricul-
ture, that under favorable conditions
there is an advantage in early plant
ing; but in view Of the uncertainties
of the weather, which is always a
controlling factor in the growing of
crops, these results must be applied
with caution in practice. AS Tracy
has pointed out, planting should not
begin too early in the season.:
Nothing is gained by putting
seed into soil which is too cold or
wet to favor termination. 1t is bet
ter to defer the planting week or
ten days than to run the risk of los
ing it by decay or of having an i'm
perfect stand by planting before the
ground is sufficiently dry to work
well and warm enough for immediate
growth. Every missing plant means
decrease in the yield, and replant-
ing the missing hills is seldom prof
liable. The replants are surround
ed by plants which mature and shed
their pollen before the younger silks
are formed The pollinatio is there
fore very imperfect, and the ears on
the replants are usually nubbins,
which are scarcely worth gathering
When the missing plants amount to
from ten to twenty per cent. of the
whole replanting with some earlier
maturing variety which will produce
it's tassels and silks at about the
same time as the original planting is
often profitable, but will not pay
per cent. When the misses are more
than 20 per cent. it will pay better to
make an entire new planting"

When the spring opens there is a
temptation to put stock on the pastures
rather early in the season. This should
not be done, as trampling by the ami
mails may do harm. A heavy roller
should be used over the pasture field,
so as to press down and smooth the
surface for the mower, if a field is cut
for hay. Very young grass or rye is
laxative, and COWS will fall off in the
yield of milk if put out too early or
kept on the pasture too long.
