level with the top of the stack, then
carried over and dropped at any place
on the stack. 1t will keep two men
busy on the stack all the time, and
they win not have TO reach over The
edge of the stack to help get the hay
up. Besides, it does not drag up the
side of the stack, as many pitchers do
nor does It make the stack heavier on
one side than the other. A round
stack can be built twenty feet high
and easily made to hold from twelve
to fifteen tons. 1t saves time, money,

things too numerous to mention
The foregoing expresses the idea and
experienc" of a writer In Ohio Farmer,
and In the same journal another cor
respondent describes his plan for I'M
loading hay with horse fork in the
barn or on the stack, which he consid-
ers very convenient and cheaper than
any set of haying tools and just as
good. He has used it for two years
and found it valuable.
This plan is as follows: Fasten pull

the barn Then with an open ring
fasten another pulley to the ring in
the hayfork Then tie one end of a
rope TO the open ring, after it has been
closed. and then put the rope through
the pulley at G, then down through the
pulley at B, which IS on the fork, then
through the pulley at A, then through
pulley at d, which is down on
the barn floor All that is neces-
sary To change the fork so as to drop
hay in either NOW is to unite the rope
from the fork and tie the opposite end
there This method saves one the cost
of track and car and will pull almost
directly straight upward until the fork
full of hay gets pretty well up, then
Will travel over the NOW
Those who have hay to stack can
use this plan by using two tall posts

1t is the writer's belief that, with
the adoption of thoroughly modern
methods of tillage throughout the John
son grass region, it may become prac-
ueable to utilize this grass for the pro
ductlon of hay without serious inter
ference with the cultivation Of other
crops. Fan blowing, treatment with a
root digger or perhaps with heavy
spike tooth harrow, combined with
more or less hand pulling the next sea
son, viii reduce the stand OF grass so
that it will be several years before it
viii again seriously interfere with the
production of cultivated crops. The
land can then be allowed to go back to
Johnson grass for two or three years
for the purpose Of hay production, thus
adapting it TO n rotation of five or six
years. The writer, however, would not
advise any farmer to sow johnson
grass on land that is free from it UNI
I'll more IS known about nethods OF
cultivatlng #. Ii is very unfortunate
that grass that viii produce three
good crops Of hay in an ordinary sea-
son should be so hard TO contro, as to
render it a very serious pest.-w. C.

trast with the magnitude of the pea is
its insigniticance in our own country
Great advances, however, have been
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 daNAr cows.
for swine and as a ration for ewes and
lambs. The straw when well cured is
relshed 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 6ead 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 ia Fig l of the sec

CAMPING OUTFITS.
How to Choose the Most Useful Arti-
cIes For Comfort.

eIes For COMFORT.
The length of time one is to spend In
camp and nearness Of market should
be considered carefully before the ques-
ton of the outfit is necessary. If far
in the forest more provisions must be
provided. Then when this question is
settled a calculation should be made Of
the number of persons to provide for
and the number of meals per day and
the days of encampment. Besides, one
must allow one-third more provision
for each meal than is required at home,
for camping gives famous appetites.
Besides, guests may appear. and
weather may hinder the campers from
returning to misery as soon as was eX-
pected. Better be sure than sorry"
For those to whom expense is moth
ing there are sets Of all imaginable
implements made of aluminium, all
pretty, light and durable, but an agate
frying ;pan, kettle, a coffeepct and
Dutch'oyen are all that are really nee
essary, though a small coal oil stove is
a great convenience and, above all,
useful In stormy weather, when it is
difficult to keep fire where the cook
would mot be soaked.
Game and fish are expected to fur
nish much for the table of campers.
Bacon and a sort Of thick pancake
baked in a frying pan often form the
staple OF the campers diet, and,
though despised at home, it IS good in
camp. Those who camp out just for
a good time and who can afford it take
lots of canned food and many other
things which experienced campers call
bloated luxurles. But good canned
things are good when eaten in the
woods and always eaten as soon as
taken out Food of whatever kind left
intcans is dangerous Plenty of pep
per, salt and mustard should be taken
to camp; also sugar, coffee, tea, rice
and beans. Pork-plaln salt, ham and,
above all. baeon-Is the mainstay of
camp, cookery. Evaporated fruit Of all
kinds is also very good. The addition
Of water makes them as fine as fresh.
All dried fruits should be soaked all
night and boiled In the same manner
half an hour in the morning
Beans are fine baked all night in the
Dutch oven.
