Cow Peas in the North.

IF cow peas are planted this far
north about June 1, the early varie-
ties will be right to turn hogs on the
last half of August, and will furnish
the right food at this time to finish
on new corn, and the ground may be
seeded with winter wheat afterward
without any preparation, if disk
drill be used, or rye may be seeded
for a green winter cover crop and
turned under for spring crop espe-
cially potatoes. For beginners /
would advise: Get seed that will ma
ture in your latitude, or farther
north; drill IS pounds per acre in
rows so to Sc inches apart, and cult
vate clean until vines interfere. a
few years trial with cow peas will
suggest many ways to utilize them to
good advantage on every farm.-Cin-
cinnati Commercial Tribune.

walked through the hall and into

A Hint from the Gypsies.

The gypsies, who devote their time
to horses and horse trading, are ex-
perts in taking an animal that is in.
poor flesh and getting him in good
condition in a short time. One of
these gentlemen gives the following
as his favorite ration used for this
purpose: Mix a bushel of faxseed
with a like amount of barley and
corn and grind them together. These
proportions can be increased or de-
creased 20 meet the necessities of
any particular case. This mixture
is to be fed three times a day, after
being mixed with a peck of chopped
hay or straw. Commence with Civ
ing him a small amount at first,
gradually increasing it, until he is
fed all he will eat. 1t is recommend
ed as being much better than any
drug treatment for young or old
horses.-Farmers' Voice.

They Keep Well.

American Gardening tens how some
have kept their potatoes intended for
seed. Selecting them when digging.
they store them in a dry shed or
barn until the weather gets cold.
About the middle of November they
sort them, rejecting all that show
signs of decay. They then spread a
layer of straw eight or ten inches
thick upon the ground, and place the
potatoes on this. The best results
are from mounds about three feet
wide at the base and rising like a
cone to about the same height. This
Is covered with straw and then by a
layer of soil from six to eight inches
thick. Before the weather gets too
severe more soil may be added, and
when the ground is frozen, put on
more straw or strawy manure. They
seem to winter much better than in
cellars or when put in mounds or pits
as soon as dry. We would say that
we think it would not injure the ger
mination of the sprouts if the tubers
were frozen solidly in such a mound.
If they were not disturbed until they
had thawed out in the earth in the
darkness. We have plowed out pota-
toes in the spring that had lain with
in six inches of the surface of the
ground all winter, where the ground
had been frozen two or three feet
deep, and they were apparently as
sound and fresh as those dug in the
fall.
