APPLIED TO AGRI-
CULTURE

According to Consular reports, sue
cessfrl experiments have been made
in Italy in driving a pillow by electric
power. Two power-cars were sta
toned one at each side of field,
between which cables were stretched
attached to the pillow. The current,
about 500 volts, was taken from
trolley line and the pillow pulled by
the cables from one side of the field
to the other; the current being cut
off when the end of the furrow was
reached, the pillow stopped automat-
ically.
One man only is required to man
age the plow and each car is handled
by one man. 1t is said that ordln'
arily from seven to fifteen acres can
be plowed in twelve hours.
These cars are described as being
as easily handled as traction engines
and their power can be applied TO
grain drills, threshing machines, ccrn-
shelters, pumps and many other agri'
cultural implements.

in rows and plow them under about
four inches deep, then sow the oats

rich and mellow the crop will be all
that one could wish. The soil should
be carefully prenared to obtain the

OATS AND PEAS FOR HAY.

In response to an inquiry by a
CORRESPONDENT of the Breeders Ga
zette in regard to sowing oats and
cow-peas together for hay for winter
feeding COWS and sheep, Prof. WI
ancko of Purdue University says:
"Oats and cow-peas are not at all
suited to sowing together. The oats,
to do any good, should be sown before
the end of May; their season OF
growth is very much different.
81 would advise the use OF the com
mon field pen instead. 1t goes very
well with oats and the mixture makes
excellent hay, of higher feeding value
than clover. The pens and oats mix
ture should be sown as early as pos
sible. about two bushels of peas and
one and one-half bushel of oats per
acre. If the peas are small half and
half will be about the right proper
tons. The seeds may be mixed and
drilled with an ordinary wheat drill
as deeply as possible-three to four
inches. Sometimes the peas are sown
broadcast on disked ground and plow-
ed; under. The oats are then sowec
on top within a few days and har-
rowed in.
The mixture should be cut for hay
while the grain is in the milk stage.
If allowed to get older it loses in
palatability.

Lincoln Pardon on a Card.

Former United States Pension Com
missioner E. f. Ware has an interest
ing relic of Abraham Lincoln and the
Civil War. 1t is in the form of a
pardon issued by President Lincoln to
one David Levy, deserter from the
Federal army, and the story of it goes
as follows:
In the summer of 1864 David Levy,
private soldier, was sent to one of
the army hospitals while suffering
from some small ailment which, how
ever, was sufficient to incapaciate him
for duty. One day he disappeared from
the hospital.
1t was found later that he had de
serted and gone home, his later ex.
PLANTATION being that he thought he
could recover his health quicker if he
was among his own people In due
time he was apprehended by the mill
tary authorities and returned to the
front, going by way of Washington.
While in Washington under guard
and awaiting trial for desertion, he
managed to bring the case to the at
tention Of President Lincoln. The pres.
ident sent for him, heard his story and
closed the incident by giving him a
pardon, and from here the story skips
some thirty-eight years.
In December last the pension de
partment received an application for
pension from David Levy. In look
ing up the records in the adjutant gen.
erals Office it was discovered that Da-
vid Levy was carried with the word
"deserter" opposite his name. He was
informed by the pension officials that
pensions were not for deserters.
He replied that it was true that he
had been deserter, but that he had
been pardoned by the president and
had done service until the end Of the
war. The pension authorities an
swered in turn that if he had a par
don he must produce it, as the records
such a document.
And thereupon Levy sent the pardon
just as written by the president, to-
gether with the statement that he had
kept it safe all these years.
The pardon is written on bit of
pasteboard about the size Of an ordi-
nary visiting card. The writing,
though dimmed by age, is clearly legi-
BILE and would be recognized at once
by those familiar with the angular
hand of the martyred president. There
is no circumlocution or legal verbiage
about it. 1t goes straight to the point
as follows:
"If David Levy shall enlist and
serve faithfully for one year, or until
otherwise honorably discharged, will
pardon him for the past.
Jan. IL, 1865. A. LINCOLN"
1t will be observed, that technically
considered this is not pardon. How
ever, David Levy was able to show
that he had faithfully carried ont the
conditions fixed by the president, and
the pension department corrected the
records and granted himsa pension.
The matter was brought to the per.
sonal attention of Mr.. Ware for deci-
sion. He became much interested In
the case, and when the pension had
been granted he wrote to Levy asking
him if he could be induced to part with
the Lincoln document. Levy answer
ed that he would sell it for So and it
was purchased by Mr.. Ware at the
price named.-Kansas City Journal.

GETTING ALL THE MILK.

1t is we'll known that the average
mixer gets less milk than he who
does thorough job, that incomplete
milking means not only direct, but
indirect loss, not only as immediate
lessening Of the fat yield, but tends
toward drying the COW. A Danish
scientist has recently developed spe-
cial system of udder manipulation,
sort of massage of the mammary
glands as it were, which it is claimed
augments the flow. The Hegelund
method, as it is called, involves three
manipulations. each thrice repeated,
or until no more milk is obtained:
First, the pressure of the quarter on
each SIDE against each other thrice
repeated, followed by removal Of the
milk; second, the pressure of the
glands together on each side, the fore
quarter being first manipulated and
then the headquarters, followed by
removal of the milk; and third, the
forequarters are pressed between
hand and body, the hands holding the
teatS loosely, lnen the Hluuquoi eCAS
also, followed by milking.
Trials of the scheme made at the
Wisconsin and New York stations AZ
forded a daily average increase per
COW of a pound of milk and Two
ounces of butter. The after milk was
very rich in fat, testing above ten
per cent. This after milking takes
not to exceed five minutes time
often only two or three minutes. The
two ounces of butter may be held at a
low estimate to be worth two cents
This would be a fair pay for I'VE
minutes work, twenty-four cents an
hour and the skim-milk thrown in
Not only is more milk and butter
made, but the secretion is stimulated
and the lactation period prolonged.
It may be remarked. however, that
the differences in milk and butter
Yields between this method and care
full stripping are not great. This Dan
ish method, however, does emphasize
more, perhaps, than has hitherto peen
done. the actual and potential losses
due to incomplete Milking. l.. Hliis
