MAKING PA VINE HAY.
A Valuable Fodder md the asst
Way to Make and sa-
cure 1t.

1t is gratifying to note the growing
interest In hay from pea vines and
other legIminous crops. This is SO be-
cause in pea-vine hay our farmers
have one of the very finest hay known
to the stock feeder. 1t is worth very
much more per ton, actual feedlng
value. than timothy hay. In addition
to this, peas are great soil improyer5
and should he grown on an increased
scale by all our farmers. The time was
when it was considered almost impos-
sible to cure pea vines so as to make
good hay, hut experience has proven
to our farmers that pea vines are as
easily cured as the clovers or any OF
the grasses-in fact, much easier cured
than some of the grasses. The meth
cd employed by the writer is as fol
lows: Select, If possible, clear weather
and cut the vines after the dew has
dried off. Allow the vines to lie undis-
turbed until the following day when
they can be raked into windrows and
put into tall cocks fer day or two
Qf the weather is threatening they
can be stacked earlier than this.) Then
stack as follows: Procure ordinary
stack poles about twelve feet tall and
plant firmly. Nail two cleats about
four or five feet long each firmly at
right angles to each other some eight
inches above the ground. These will
prevent the vines from laying on the
ground and will permit the free circu-
lation of air underneath the stack. Put
vines around the pole until they are
about two and one-half feet thick; then
nail on another cleat and put on vines
again until two and one-half feet
thick; then nail on another cleat at
right angles to the first, and so on UNI
til the stack is finished. Put the vines
on with fork and do not tramp them
with the feet The cleats will prevent
the vines from settling into a solid
mass and will permit ventilation, thus
insuring nicely cured hay. Let these
stacks stay in the field until the hay is
thoroughly cured, then haul to barn.
For the cap to the stack, | TT large
forkful of vines Immediately on top
of the stack-pole, not permitting the
pole to project through them. That
acts as an umbrella and causes the wa
ter to shed instead Of running down
the stack-pole to spoil the vines. In
real cool weather | have cut the pea
vines AID stacked them the same day,
as above directed, with good results.
Curing pea vines, like many other
things requires experience to succeed
best, but no enc need he kept from
sowing peas on account of fearing they
can not make good hay from them.
If one prefers, he can bore one and
one-half inch holes through the stack
poles and put rods through them in
stead of using the cleats spoken OF
above. The holes and rod process is
really the best, but the cleats are east
est and quickest put ONT. B. Parker,

horseshoe magnet, such as you can buy
III any toy shop.
Now spin the top and hold the mag
net horizontally near its edge. 1t is
still attracted, no matter how rapidly
it may be spinning.
But if you hold the magnet above the
disk with it's poles pointing straight
down you will be surprised to see that
the top is no longer attracted On the
contrary it is repealed, and crawls
away from the magnet. at least so long
as ii is spinning rapidly. AS the top
runs down, however, there comes a
time when this repelling action, which
depends on its speed, is overcome by
the natural attraction. Then the top
is again attracted by the magnet If
you are observing you may notice that
when the magnet repeis the top, it
also acts on it like brake, SO that
it runs down sooner than it would
otherwise
Both the repulsion and the slowing
up occur because there are electric
currents flowing through the top,
says writer in Good Literature.
and these currents are due to the spin
ming and the presence of the magnet
Now when currents are caused by
moving a piece of metal near the mag
net the metal is repealed by the mag
net and at the same time it's molten

Everyone knows that magnet at

thing else--that is, not to any appre-
cable extent. AS matter of fact,
the metals, nickel and cobalt and some
other things are also attracted by the
magnet, but the effect is very. small,
indeed. Now, if the iron is in the
form of top it will, of course, be at
tracted by magnet as strongly as IL
it were in any other form. SO long as
the top is at rest. But suppose that
the top is spinning? Win its rapid
motion make any difference in the way
the magnet acts On it? Well, let us
make an iron top and find out. Take
round, fiat piece of sheet iron or tin,
about three inches in diameter. and
provide it with pointed axis to spin
on. (What we call ''tin," you know,
is really sheet iron plated with tin.)
The top of a baking powder box will
do, or you can cut the disk, with strong
shears, out of a sheet OF tin. With
a big nail and hammer punch hole

with the finger and thumb, or, better,

coin slipped over it. If you can find
i'll the toy-shops a nearly fat tin top,
