This fell destroyer has not yet made

Il il spite Of every care the Weevil

monthly journal devoted to the indus.
tries Of the Souh, and published at
Charlotte, N. G. Professor Sanderson
advises that before frost the stalks
should be pulled, piled up, thoroughly
saturated with crude oil and burned
Pulling the stalks is preferred to cut

many weevils hibernate in the crev.
ices of the soil at the base of the
stalks. Hence, when the stalks are
pulled these Weevils are thrown out
OF their winter quarters and destroy.

Another method suggested is to pile
or Windrow all but a few rows here
and there, which are left standing. II
no frost occurs, the weevils will leave
the piles for the standing cotton.
Then, when the piles are fired, quick

upon the burning piles and the wee
wills Of every stage Of development on

By turning stock in to Craze great
numbers Of weevils in all stages are
destroyed. This should be done be-
fore frost. If the fieldscontains much
grass, this should be burned off before
the cattle are turned in. In a field,
where johnson grass is starting, cat.
tie would do more harm than good by
spreading the disease.
If objection is raised that any OF
these methods will destroy the top

PEAS FOR THE FACTORY.
Growing and Harvesting on a Big
Scale-The Canning Process.

Growing and Harvesting on Big
Scale-The Canning Process.
The growing Of peas in tracts of
$500 acres and harvesting and thrash
ing them like so much wheat are pre-
Sented by the Denver Field and Farm
as a revelation to people from a dis
lance and one Of the agricultural sur
prises Of the west. This journal says:
At Longmont, in Boulder county, the
land is prepared as for wheat, and the
regular drills are used in sowing peas
Two rows of peas are sowed, and then
space equal to that occupied by two
rows is skipped, thus leaving twenty
one inches between the double rows for
cultivation and irrigation purposes
When the sprouts begin to appear
above ground, harrow is run over
them for the purpose Of removing the
small weeds, and this operation Is re-
peated a number Of times during the
per cent Of the peas is torn out by this
process. When the vines become large
enough, a cultivator is used in throw
ing earth up to them. When five to six
inches in height, an irrigating furrow
is made between the rows. The water
is brought to the head of the rows al
the highest part of the field by a broad
lateral from main ditch of thirty to
forty feet in width and carrying water
from a mountain stream.
The harvesting of peas is begun al
the time most favorable fer best re.
suits, and regardless of the few bios
SONS and fat podded peas all arc
moved by a cutter which runs just be-
meath the ground. Then the hayracks
arrive, and great loads of peas Oh the
vines are hauled to the nearby can
ming factory and are ready for the
thrashing operation. This operation is
done by means Of machines construct
ed especially for the purpose.
When the peas are shelled, they are
put through grading machines which
sort out the different sizes. The very
small peas thus obtained represent the
immature ones. After grading in this
manner they are next parb0iled or
blanched and are then put upon zinc
lined tables. Here they are looked over
by force Of girls, who pick out not
only the occasional old peas or weed
seeds that may have crcpt in, but also
all broken peas. After this operation
the peas are washed again and are
then ready to so into cans.
The filling Of the cans is accom-
plished by machinery. Each machine
fills twelve cans at one time, and 10000
cans are filled in day. After the cans
are filled with peas a weak brine Is
added, and then the Gaping machines
are put into service. After Gaping the
cans are put into iron retOrts. the lids
Of which are bolted down, and the
peas are cooked in the cans by steam.
The labelling is then done by machin-
cry.

CONDENSED STORIES.
Representative surk's Story of His
6.aldhcaded Bust.

Usually statesmen are sensitive
of their peculiarities and physical
lnfirmities, but this is not true of
Representative Burk Of the Third
Pennsylvania district. The genial
and diminutive legislator makes no
attempt to conceal the fact that he
wears natural looking wig over a
Uranium as bereft of hair as a Maid
ems Blush apple.
At dinner one night he related
joke on himself with great glee.
1t seems that Mr.. Burk took a trip
abroad a year or SO ago and carried
with him an Introductory letter to
a renowned Catholic priest who was
connected with the Vatican. The
prelate, who is somewhat of wag,
contrived to have Mr.. Burk meet a
prominent soul ptor The latter
agreed to make a marble bust of the
travelling solon for the sum of ST.
800. Mr.. Burk could not spare the
time for sittings, SO it was decided
to make a plaster cast of his head.
This necessitated the removal of the
wig, and, Of course, the cast was
baldheaded.
The understanding was that the
hair should be sketched and chiseled
on afterward; but, according to Mr..
Burk, the waggish priest induced
the sculptor to forego this, and, as
a result, the bust came to Philadel-
phia several months ago baldheaded.
1t now reposes deep in a cellar and
is not likely to see the light of day
during Mr.. Burk's lifetime, and the
Philadelphia mourns his 1900.
