For the extreme southern limit on
which field peas are grown it is be-
lieved that seed grown near by seems
best North Of that belt northern or
Canadian seed seems best. For the first
early spring sowing the pea should be
put in as soon as the ground is fit to
work and has been put in good shape
for seeding. weather conditions permit
ting. We have had heavy freezing and
snow after the peas We're up, entirely
covering the plant, without serious in
jury. Drilling the seed, rather than
broadcasting or narrowing into the soil,
secures better covering and more uni
form stand. Use an ordinary grain
drill set for sowing oats; use only every
other hoe, or, if the ground be very
rich, every third hoe and using six
pecks of seed Six pecks per acre Of
oats Of stiff strawed variety may be
drilled in seven to ten days later than
the peas, so that both crops will reach
the milky stage together, says an Ohio

The practical Chinese have adopted n
simple way of obtaining heirs where
there are no legal ones-the adoption
pf children who belong to side branches
Of the family. In this way the family
line is kept intact. In the absence Of
male descendants in the side branches
of the family the sons of strangers are
adopted. The Chinese prefer this meth

In looking over colonies early in the

BALANCED RATIONS.
MUch stin To lie Learned About the
lnmllinntann OF a,ecls.

MCch stin To Be Learned About the
Combination Of i'ecds.
The Importance of an economical as
well as nutritiye ration is realized by
every feeder. 1t is the opinion of ]. I.
willard of the Kansas experiment sta
ton that the most rodtable combina-
tons OF western feeds for western con-
ditioEs arc not yet known and that a
promising field is here presented for
the execution of varied and repeated
feeding tests with fattening cattle, dai-
" cows, swine, horses and sheep.
what IA Balanced Ration Is.
Considerable misapprehension ex-
lists, says Professor Willard, as to the
meaning Of tile term balanced ra-
ton" the idea being prevalent that the
balanced ration is certain combina-
ton of feeds and always the same. In
point of fact a combination OF feeds
that is best adapted-thatis is, balanced
for one purpose, with one species of
animal of a given age and condition,
might be unbalanced if the purpose,
the species, the age or condition were
different. Thus a ration balanced for
Il growing calf is unbalanced for fat
teuing steer. \ balanced ration for a
dairy COW is still different, and even
the best ration for COW giving n
large yield of milk is not the best for
the same COW at later period when
the milk flow has become small. \
balanced ration is simply one in which
the feeds are mixed in such proper
tons Us to provide constituents in such
relative quantities as experience has
shown to give the best results under
the given set of conditions.
How to Balance the Ration.
Many farmers realize the impor-
tance Of Il properly balanced ration,
but do not know how to compound
one. The methods hitherto in use tend
TO discourage making the necessary
calculations. as they involve guess
work on unfamiliar ground, followed
by tedious calculations, to be followed
by another guess and the succeeding
calculations and so on, until approXi-
mately the correct quantities have
been arrived at by this cut and try
process.
In bulletin 115 Professor Willard
explains and illustrates Il method of
his own by which, he claims, it is pos
sible to calculate a ration exactly if
the composition of the feeds is known.
He has endeavored to so simplify the
calculation of ration that any intel
ligent farmer may undertake and ac-
complish it with but little labor. The
process is designed to meet ordinary
requirements, to be within the mathe-
matical range of all and to demand
slight expenditure of time.
This bulletin combats the statements
of textbooks on computing rations and
is designed to show that rations of any
degree of perplexity may be balanced
with absolute exactness by simple
arithmetical processes if feeds are
available of the necessary composition.

An amusing story is told of man
who was suddenly attacked in the
night by a violent fit of earache. His
wife told him that there was ON the
window sill by the bed a bottle Of
chloroform and recommended him to
rub some on his face.
Without striking a light he reached
out for the bottle, pulled out the stop

into his hand, anointed his face from
mouth to ear. Very soon he announced
that the pain was better, lay down

l said some time ago, in this cores
pondence, that the President would
call an extra session Of the 9Th Con-
gress sometime in the early part of
next September. l missed it about a
month, as it is now given out from an
Official source that the extra session
will be called early in October. 1t is
given out as the ostensible reason that
this extra session is to be called for the
purpose of disposing finally Of the Gu
ban reciprocity treaty by obtaining
the concurrence of the House of Rep
resentatives, which the democrats COM
PEELED the republican Senator'S who
we're working in the interest of the
Sugar Trust, to agree to before they
would vote to ratify the treaty. The
real reason why this extra session is to
be called was given in this correspon-
dence some time ago when it was
stated that j. Pierpont Morgan had
called on the President and infor med
him that Wall Street could hold out no
longer than the fall and that there
must be some legislation in its interest,
presumably the Aldrlch bill, or there
may be a smash-up and possibly a panic.
Wall Street continues to dictate the
policy of this admins tration.
Unless all signs fail, they may as
well start In On their financial bill
when the session meets, because they
are not going to get through the con-
current resolution of the House endors-
ing the Cuban treaty by December 81,
except 1t carry with 1t the ellmin alton
Of the differential on refined sugar.
The democrats have made up their
minds to fight for that IN the interest
OF the people. There are about forty
five republicans from the beet sugar
states, and if the democrats can round
up about twenty kickers who will stick
the House will send the Senate the Gu
ban reciprocity proposition for the Sec
ond time with a knife under the rib Of
of the Sugar trust. That will kill it,
for those trust-owned Senators dare
not pass a thing that Will take about
$4,000, 900 a year out of the pockets
of one of their bosses. II the House
democrats do not succeed IN getting
the dlfferential off, then the Senate
democrats will talk on tn. tariff ques-
ton until the end of the extra and reg
ular sessions. Mark the prediction.
