Cutting Pea Vines.

There seems to be to my mind q
mistaken idea as to the proper time
for cutting pea vines. Most writer's on
the subject advocate cutting when the
pea is in full bloom. This Is no doubt
the time at which the vines would
make the most palatable and tender
hay, provided one had such a quantity
as he could cure under shelter; but 1t
is next to impossible to cure a large
quantity Of peavines cut at this stage
unless we have an unusually fine spell
Of weather. and this we can never
bank on in August. My experiences
teach me that 1t Is best to wait until
the pods begin to ripen before cutting
the vines, when they will cure much
more easily and rapidly. The hay will
not be altogether so tender and juicy
think it has not lost anything in nu-
tritious value. Highly fed milch cows
will not eat it quite so greedily, but
mules will eat it just as we'll, and will

the peas are on.
The unknown" pea, sown this
month, will be ready for cutting in
September, when we can reasonably
count on fair weather for most Of the
time. Cut in the forenoon, after the
dew is off, and rake up and cock in the
afternoon. No kind Of forage should
have more sun than Is absolutely
necessary for saving it. Make the
peaVines at first into small high cocks,
and in three or four days into larger
ones, by putting four or five Of the
smaller into one. In this shape they
can remain until ready for putting in
the barn.
have a new method of sowing peas
this summer which think will like.
l plow the peas in with a square point
ed scooter, and harrow smooth with
the tooth: harrow. l like this better
than than breaking land with turn
plow and narrowing peas again. An
other reason which was not considered
In what was previously said, Is this: I
always SOW the peas myself, and in
this way can walk on the unplowed
ground in sowing the seed, while In
the former you have to foot it over
the fresh plowed land.

AN INTERRUPTED SToRY.-Captain
Williams, jovial Irishman, known ev-
erywhere as "Bob," used to be favor
ite in Dublin society many years ago.
His stories were famous. Give him
an incident, and he would set it out to
the general admiration.
One evening he went into the club
and there began telling the true tale
Of rescuing a lady and her daughters
from a dangerous situation into which
their spirited horse had brought them

she lost her purse when yez helped her
out of the carriage, and plaze, she
says, do yez know anything about it?'

C. r. Snyder, who is writing a his

which he recalls that Plumb was ac-

his failure to attack Quantrel after the

Joseph Bratton, one Of the Usage pion-

Emporia stopped at our place for
meals, Preston B. Plumb was on it one
night, and during supper heard talk of
smallpox having broken out here. A

FISHING For OLD CoRK.-Cork Is
never useless until it is absolutely de-
cayed. Children who fish for cork all
day between the piers on the New
York river fronts do not have to go
above Fulton street to sell it. Some
boys and girls find cork fishing more
profitable than selling newspapers.
Cork can be made over about as many
times as rags and waste paper Be-
fore the children who take cork from
the rivers can sell it, they must carry
it home and dry it. Wet cork Is not
negotiable. There is no fixed price
for waste cork. The foreman of
shop looks over a basketful and says
what he will give for it. The children
Invariably take what Is offered them.
AS manufactured cork Is dutiable.
while cork wood is on the free list,
most Of the corks used in New York
are manufactured here. The cork tree
will not grow in North America. The
wood must be imported from Mediter-
ranean countries. Portugal Is the
principal source Of supply. Large
quantities come from Italy and Sar-
dinia.-New York Times.

EQUINE JEALOUSY.
How Trainer Was Led to Develop a
Pair of Boxing Horses.


Pair of Boxing Horses.
A. B. Powell, the veteran trainer of
horses, who after two patient years
actually taught two horses to stand up
on their hind legs and box with the
gloves on, declares that not only are
horses jealous, but that it was the out
come of an incident arising from the
feelings which the green eyed monster
Is reputed to inspire which led him to
believe he had found pair Of boxing
horses.
One Of the horses was a thorough
bred Arab, known as Cigarette, and
the other a dun horse Of Turkish breed
called Charley. and a writer in the
Windsor Magazine thus describes the
incident:
I'm the earlier days Of Charley's con-
nection with circus life he was pre-
sented with very handsome saddle
for use in a certain act. Now, it hap
pened on one occasion that it was
found necessary to remove this saddle
from the back of the Turkish bred an
imal and place it upon the jet black
Cigarette.
Later on in the evening tremend-
GUS row was heard in the neighborhood
OF the stalls where the two animals
had been stabbed side by side. Some Of
the attendants ran to see what was up
They found that Cigarette and Char
ley had broken loose and were practi-
caly in .grips'-kicking, plunging and
stamping upon each other.
when Mr.. Powell arrived on the
scene the two animals were standing
on their hind legs in the regular pugi-
listic attitude and endeavoring to ex-
change terrific blows on head and
body. They were quickly separated.
but the astute trainer had taken his
cue, and next day he began to give the
horses their first real lessons in box
ing."--London Express.

Managing Glover.

Something depends upon how the
second growth is to be managed In de-
termining how to manage the first.
When the second growth Is to mature
seed with the intention Of thrashing
out and saving. it is nearly always
best to cut the first crop for hay lit
tie earlier than would otherwise be
considered best. BY cutting early
much better opportunity is afforded
the plants to make a good start to
grow before hot, dry weather sets In.
We usually have showers at least un-
til the first Of July. and If the crop Is
cut in good season the second growth
will be able to secure good start
Ordinarily crop Of cloverseed pays
well for the work required, and many
find 1t a profitable plan to cut the sec
ond growth especially for seed.
When to be turned under for green
ting can be made little later than for
seed. One advantage in having clover,
timothy and red top for hay Is that
the season is in this way prolonged
and a better opportunity Is offered Of
getting it all done in season, and often
without necessity Of hiring extra help.
If cut in good season and properly
cured clover makes first-class hay
for sheep, the milk COWS and the grow
ing cattle. But its value is often con-
siderably lessened by allowing 1t to get
too ripe before cutting, by curing i'm
properly or curing too much.
Ripening earlier than the grasses
usually grown for hay, and containing
more water, clover requires a longer
time to cure out, and as the weather
is usually more showery there Is more
risk of not getting 1t stored away prop
erly.
1t Is best, therefore, to have every
thing ready so that the work can be
pushed along as rapidly as possible to
secure 1t in the best possible condition.
If clover Is allowed to get too ripe
before cutting there is always more or
less loss Of nutriment. While II allow
ed to get too dry in curing there Is an
increased loss in handling, caused by
the breaking off and wasting Of the
leaves and small stems.
After the larger proportion Of the
plants are fully blossomed out and the
blooms are beginning to turn brown is
the best stage. 1t will be an excep-
tional case when clover will cure
enough in one day to be hauled in.
If there is a good supply Of wheat or
oat straw, and If, as the clover Is now
ed away, layer of clover and then one
Of straw Is put in, alternating in this
way, the clover can be moved away
with less curing than in almost any
other way unless stored as ensilage.
Generally in fair hay weather a good
plan Is to cut the clover in the morn
ing, rake up into winrows and put into
small cocks late in the afternoon. Let
1t stand until the next afternoon, and
then it can be hauled In. If the wealth
er is cool or cloudy, it may be neces-
sary to let it lie in the cocks over the
be considered in determining the
length Of time required to cure.
One advantage in having a supply of
hay caps is that in case of sudden
shower they can be used to protect the
clover in the cocks.-The Republic.
