SO solid and dense that it was exceed

ripe. In fact, they never became prop

no reason to be surprised, as it was

An Oklahoma Rotation.

In the summer, after corn has been
given it's last cultivation, Mr. Miller
Of "101" ranch, Oklahoma, has sown
between the rows of corn d row Of
cowpeas. These peas do not need sun
shine In order to grow, nor do they
need cultivation. BY the time the corn
Is harvested the cowpeas have grown
up and are ready to pasture the cattle
upon. AS forage they are very nu-
tritious. Thus two uses are got off
the one cornfeld. After wheat has
been harvested the ground is at once
plowed up and sown to Kaffir corn,
and when the Kaf1lr corn Is eight to
ten inches high In the fall the wheat
is drilled in under it. This drilling
process does not destroy much of the
Kaffir corn. After the wheat has got
started to grow the cattle can then
be pastured upon the field without in
jury to the grain. After all Of the
corn has been eaten down the field is
left unpastured for month or more,
when the wheat blades are high
enough to turn. the herds upon.--New

Casting SIeichheIln.

A question frequently asked is in re-
gard to the method Of producing sleigh
bells containing iron balls larger than
the opening In the bells. Previous to
making cast the maker of sleighbells
puts an iron ball inside a sand core,
just the shape Of the inside Of the bell
This sand core, with the jlnglet inside,
is placed in the mold of the outside and
the melted metal poured in, which fills
up the space between the core and
mold. The hot metal burns the core so
that 1t can be shaken out, leaving the
ball within the shell. Ball valves,
swivel joints and many other articles
are cast in the same manner.

MAKING sAUERKRAUT.
FlOurishinE Industry Much Like
EnSilaEe Making.

A1ASAAABc M0AlMS.
The manufacture of sauerkraut is
carried on in factories in parts of Long
Island, and last season was q prosper
GUS one. The buildings are not extern
sive, single large one stored house
With cellar being sufficient. The most
peculiar feature Is the array of tanks
III which the kraut is made. These diff
fer In capacity, favorite size being Is
feet wide by II feet deep. They are
built Of wooden slaves two inches
thick, planned on both sides and held to-
gether with heavy iron hoops. Such
tanks hold from forty to fifty tons Of
sauerkraut. The manufacturing sea-
son opens in September and lasts for
two months. Prices paid to farmers
the past year were.$S to SO per ton, but
IN previous years it has been SIS per
ton.
Cabbage is delivered by the farmers
to the crate house, building having
Slated sides and used for storing the
heads. This construction allows for
ventilation and drying, as the stock
should d!v few days before cutting.
The heaGs are delivered with the out
side leaves off, but second trimming
Is made at the factory, as no green
leaves can be used. After trimming
the core is cut out with sharp knife.
About 800 pounds in ton are lost In
trimming and coring The cabbage is
then taken to cutting machine, where
1t is shredded. This is done rapidly,
one head at time, frequently as
much as forty tons per day going
through one cutter. In large factories
the cutter is driven by power, but it
Is worked by hand in mary cases.
From the cutter the shredded cabbage
Is taken to the tanks, one tank being
filled each day.
AS soon as tank is full it is covered
with brine. and q head, made in Sec
tions Of matched boards, is placed on
top. Barrels filed with water are
placed on this cover to weigh it down.
The kraut sinks fully three feet. In
about nine days the product can be
barreled ready for shipment, but ordl-
narily it remains in the tanks until
sold, frequently for several months.
When wanted for shipment, the brine
is pumped out through wooden tube
perforated with holes that extends to
the bottom of the tank, the brine being
lowered as far down as the kraut is to
be removed. The kraut is spoiled for
about three inches from the top of the
tank.
The demand for kraut is increasing
and factories have difficulty in getting
enough stock. 1t is sold In barrels
holding about 400 pounds each. The
average wholesale price is about Sc
per barrel. With the exception Of u.s.
ing brine the operation is almost
Identical with making ensilage-Amer-
