FEEDING CROPS DEE

Aside from feeding off the grass in
the pasture and the stalks in the field
no attempt is made in this country to
feed crops off on the land where they
were produced. More might be done
in this line to great advantage. The
clover, the turnip crop, the vetch crop,
the rape crop, are all fed In the field
in England by the hurdle system,
which is the inclosing Of a part of the
field with hurdles or a light movable
fence, sheep proof, to the manifest
saving in the harvesting Of the crop
and the great benefit accruing from
the thorough fertilization of the soil.
Two years ago man in South Da-
kota with eighty acres of corn turned
in 1900 sheep along in September and
let them harvest the crop, which was
done with very great success and
economy. He got good price for his
corn, got rid Of the weeds and so
cleaned up and fortified the land that
it was in the best possible condition
for another crop. There was scarcely
any waste in the doing of it either, the
fall being dry. Had it been wet, 1t
would have been different

COLOR EFFECTS.
Advice Regarding Harmony II
Flower Beds.

H10Wer b&4s.
The garish use of scarlet geraniums.
yellow calceolarias and blue lobelia in
the beds has often been condemned.
Equally hideous is the close setting of
bright carnation pink and scarlet gera-
NUNS. 1t is a safe rule that this deep
pink or pale magenta should not be
placed within sight of vermilion or
blood red, whether the latter colors
are yielded by other pelargoniums
brick walls, shrubs or perennials. It
is peculiar fact that coleuses are
charming either with pinks or reds.
Used with the latter, they look brown
ish; with the former they seem but a
deepened tint of crimson.
The lavender blues of violas, agera-
tum, verbenas, asters, etc, are out of
place in shaded front garden before
a gray or white house Warm colors
are needed there or the Frightening
gold of calceolarias Such a garden,
bedded out with the brown as well as
the gold calceolarias, warm mauye vi
olas and deep purple stocks and asters,
will be exceedingly beautiful. Pink
and crimson stocks. asters and gera-
NUNS would also suit this naturally
cold looking garden, or scarlets would
be attractive. The scarlets are too gen
orally placed in the hottest looking
spots that can be found for them.
We frequently see Marguerite carna-
tons bedded out in d shaded place.
This is an error, not only because the
plants win not flourish and give the
proper abundance of bloom except in
sunshine, but also on account of the
chilly effect given by carnation foliage.
Marguerite carnations and coleuses,
with an edging of Pyrethrum aureum,
look very satisfying as a combination
for bed in vivid green lawn in the
open
Bedding out in patches is never
handsome, no matter how excellent the
plants. One pink, one white, one gold
en-, one blue. one mauye, one scarlet
or crimson bed, look spotty and poor
when dotted over garden There
should be some repetitions of the most
striking colors used. The scarlet that
makes the prominent centerpiece or the
chief expanse of one bed can be car
ried out in a scarlet edging or carpet
Ing to an Their. Art demands the repe-
tition Of any note of scarlet in land
scape, and the gardener who troubles
to remember this will avoid a very
common error in bedding.
Mauve and puppies never show we'll
never can be thoroughly appreciated
when set, as they frequently are, close
by a new red brick or red tiled house.
Their proper place is far away on the
lawns or in gravel settings. whereas
the white or gray of bricks, stone or
stucco shows them up to perfection.

THE LITTLE GIRLS GARDEN.

She was little girl only twelve
years old and small for her age at
that, but she was full of enterprise and
snap, and, firing of dolls and the like.
she persuaded her father to let her
have just two square rods of his gar
den to run garden of her own We
had the pleasure of seeing this garden
in early July. There was not single
weed to be found in it, and there was
a fine assortment of vegetables of the
most thrifty sort, peas, beans. pota-
toes, tomatoes, cucumbers, radish,
lettuce, cabbage, all nicely cared for.
and our little friend was just as proud
of her success as would be the owner
of a fine half section farm. And this
work for the little maid was in every
way beneficial and helpful to her She
has become greatly interested in ma
ture study and intends to enlarge her
work next year TO include flowers and
poultry. She might have pEacticed on
a piano or done some sort of fancy
needlework when she was working in
her garden, but we doubt If she would

SILAGE.

There. have been many changes Of
opinion touching the proper time to
cut up field corn with which to fill the
silo. When the silo first appeared as a
winter forage factor it was supposed
that the corn must be very juicy and
green, and 50 varieties Of corn giving
a great growth Of stalks were used.
This used to fill the silo in very inn
mature stage. This made a silage Of
a mushy character, which gave rise to
nearly all the objections which have
ever been urged against ensilage as q
ration. Later It was found out that
there was nothing better out cf which
to make ensilage than just common
field corn, and that this should be al
lowed to remain in the field until al
most ripe before being used, even to
the point Of having the leaves and
husks overripe. this sort Of ensilage
being dry and carrying larger per
cent Of nutritIve value than when made
Of immature corn.

trast with the magnitude OF the pea is
It's insignifeance in our own country
Great advances. however, have
made during recent years in growing
peas in Michigan, Wisconsin and Mon
tana and other mountain states.
Canadian feeders use peas largely
for cattle. also as food for dairy COWS,
for swine and as ration for ewes and
lambs. The straw when well cured is
relished by horses. cattle and sheep,
though they may not take kindly to
it at first.
Pea straw harvested rather under
ripe than overripe and properly cured
will be eaten readily, but when al
lowed to get dead ripe live stock will
eat little of it.
Until recent years the pea crop was
harvested with the scythe or with the
old fashioned revolving hayrake The
first method is slow; the second shells
out many Of the peas and so covers
the vines with soil as to render the
straw practically unfit for use. BY the
aid of pea harvester the crop may
be harvested speedily and in excellent
condition on level soils. 1t is simply
an attachment to an ordinary field
mower. as shown in Fig. of the sec
ond cut.
The guards in front lift up the peas
so that the knife can cut them cleanly
The cut peas fall behind the mower
in a stringlike row or swath and two
men with forks bunch them and lay
them aside out of the way of the
horses. Three men and span of

a day This attachment for harvest
ing peas is made in Canada and those
now in use in the west have all been
imported. On rear cut mowers a plat
form is sometimes used, as shown in
Fig. 2
With this attachment one man walks
behind and with a fork throws the
peas off in lunches. But the platform
is Of doubtful advantage unless the
crop is evenly ripened, not too heavy
and free from standing weeds Of
strong growth. Where the land has
beer plowed in ridges, with burrows
more or less deep between them, the
working of the machine will be seri-

and the best method of disposing of
them is to have a barrel or cask tiaily
set aside to throw them in, and when

make passable walks between garden
