MAURY WARD.

(Answer by DR.. Charles W. Bur
kett, of the n. @. A. and M. College.)
IF the peas are allowed to fully ma
ture, one of course, loses a good part
of the leaves, which are a valuable.
part of the crop for feeding purpo-
ses. These have to be sacrificed, on
the other hand, if seed are desired.
The vines can be shrdded by means
of the corn shredder, and while I
have had no personal experience in
using the shredder for threshing as
well as shredding COW peas, I have
letters of those who have done so
with great success. I am also adj
vised that the Mccormick Harvester
Company has an attachment for
their corr shredder devised for
threshing and shredding cowpeas and
sofa beans.
/ think our correspondent will be
well pleased with a trial by the shred
der for preparing the vines and hull
ing the peas. We are planning to use
two corn shredders this fall for pull
ing and shredding and will gladly
furnish to those who desire it such
information as we may get as a re-
suit

Handling Peas and Pea Vines.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
We desire to raise a crop of peas
on the vines, and just as soon as the
heavy crop of peas is dry and ready
to pick for seed, we wish to NOV and
cure the vines for hay. When stuff
GENTLY cured we wish to use a ma
chine which will clean out the peas
and shred the vines for hay. In-de-
ing this, if properly done, do we lose
heavily in the value of the hay? Sec
ond, do we gain or lose in fertility
of the soil, the profit and loss Of say
ing by this method to be estimated
on a relative basis of saving the hay
just before the peas are ripe? What
is the best known machine for sepa-
rating and shredding as above indi-

our guardian sent four of the oldest
to a country school in an adjoining
county-sueh schools were call the
go" in the ante-bellum days-and
this teacher was a Yankee of the
real old-fashioned type and a regular
South hater. His name was Ed.
Baker. It was in 1854 and I was
just seven years of age. He put me
in the usual branches, "readin', writ
in, spellin', and spankin'," as Bill
Arp says, but when he tried to force
grammar upon me my young mind
eeuld not grasp it, and n day he
pinned a placard with the word
"Dune" on it in large letters, to my
back, and placed me on top of a
high stove in the centre of the room
for an hour. For this treatment and
for cutting the blood from the backs
of his young lady pupils with the
whip (for which he was decidedly
famous) I learned to hate a Yankee,
and it has been a '1abor of love from
boyhood."
On one occasion he whipped a
young lady numerically, and he had
the expression in his ~countenance
that he intended to day on McDuf,
Nay on" but some of the young men
interfered and with a determination
unfavorable to him, cried out "Baker,
hold, enough, and if he hadn't held
up, there would have been walking
ahead" for him, sure enough.
I could fill a small volume with
the haps and mishaps of myself and
others, from hen till now, but with
one more disinteresting incident, I
will close.
Before the war it was customary
for negro children to go in their
shirttails, while in the. backwoods,
some would be nude from choice, in
the spring and summer, and my sis
ter owned a little fellow, named
John, who was as black "as the ace
of spades" and her husband took
him to Goldsboro with his first pants
on Next day was Saturday, and in
the afternoon she told John to get
his brush broom and sweep the yard,
but he respectfully declined, with
these words, "Mistess, I'm er Colds
boro man, an Pse got de bellerache,
an l dun no how to sweep de yads."
1t is unnecessary to state that she
gave him a '1esson" he never forgot.
But for fear some reader may mis-
construe my meaning, [ will say that
the South was always kind to her
slaves, and quite a number have in
formed me that they "fared better"
in slavery times than since the war.
But the old issue are fast playing
out, some of whom are worthy citi-
zens and some of~the new issue.
To initiate the example of my
numerous nephews and nieces, call
me JUNGLE BILL"

1t Is with pleasure that we call the
attention of the trade, and private fam.
lilies, to the fact that owing to the in.
creasing demand for bottled ale and
porter Of undoubted purity and of the
finest quality, we are now bottling the
same under our own supervision.
The frequent use of adulternnts and
substitutes for malt and hops In the
manufacture Of malt liquors has re.
suited in an inquiry for an article of
domestic manufacture, wholly free
from anything of a harmful or deleteri.
Gus nature, and Mt price that would
commend its use to alb The failure
hitherto to obtain such an article has
led consumers to purchase imported
goods at n high price.
Therefore we are prepared to place
on the market bottled ale and porter
unexcelled In quality, equal In every
respect to the imported, ut much
lower price.
Our goods being manufactured from
the choicest barley malt and the hest
hops In the market, no substitutes
whatever being used, and, being bottled
by ourselves at Warkegan. enables us
to offer to our customers an absolute
guaranty Of their purity and quality.

great fright he rewarded her with II
