CURING COW PEA HAY.

There is always more or less difficulty
In curing COW pea hay, but the crop is
well worth the trouble of going about cur
ing 1t in a careful manner, The general
rule Is to cut the COW peas when the
leaves first begin TO turn yellow, the cut
ting being lone as soon as the dew has
dried In the morning and always on a
sunny day. Rake into small, rather fiat
piles, AID by the afternoon Of the follow
ing day it will be ready to "a into the
barn. If one has a number of sheds which
are open at one or two sides the curing
may be finished under cover, should a
storm threaten. Unless the sun is very
warm and bright during all the period
from cutting to the next afternoon we
always cart the hay under a shed and
cav it there two days, turning three or
four times during that period, and find IL
well worth the trouble The idea in cur
ing cow pea hay is TO retain all Of the
leaves possible and thus cured 1t makes
one Of the best possible rough feeds for
cattle.

COMMENT ON ATTRACTIVE PACK

urging that growers of farm produce pack
atractively, a reader says: The one trou-
BILE with your idea Is that we lose fruit,
that Is, II i have a bushel of trawberries,
for example, by packing them after your
plan, ! find a number Of quarts which can
not be marketed at any price, and this
does not pay We do not agree with our
friend for If, out of a bushel or 90 quarts
Of berries we sell 40 per cent. at II cents,
30 per cent. at 8 cents, and have 30 per
cent. left as unstable, which, by the way,
Is a very large per cent, we make more
money than If we sell the entire 80 quarts
for 6 cents or less per quart, and We have
the added satisfaction of knowing that
our selected fruit found a ready sale and
that there will be a demand for more Of
ii, while on the other hand we might have
found considerable difficulty in selling the
mixed crop even at 6 cents a quart. Think
1t over before marketing the fall fruits
and vegetables.

DEPOPULATING IRELAND.
Wholesale Departure of the Peo-
pie for the United
States.

The deserted island is the land of
Erin. During the last summer whole
villages in Cavan, Galway and Donegal
have been depopulated and vast coun.
try sides in Mayo and Roscommon have
been stripped of the remnants of their
old time hosts of farm laborers. Every.
where are wholesale departures for tn
United States. Even in the remotest
rural hamlets the old people can be
heard lamenting some recent exodus OF
their most promising young boys and
girls. Almost every man or woman
the traveller meets has a number of
near relatives who have recently left
for the United States. Emigrating
agencies exist in every part of the
island. Every village has a steamship
agent to whose advantage it Is to use
every inducement to influence TIE
young men and women to emigrate.
The flaming posters which they fiount
in the faces of the young people who
are already FESTIVE and overanxious to
go, offering the cheapest transportation
and to their minds, fabulous earnings
on the farther side of the Atlantic,
prove irrestibly alluring to the average
Irish villager.

COLORADO HANGING LAKE.
Wonderful Monument Reared by

Honor.

Even the least contemplative mind

Colorado, a monument which nature
has reared in her own honor, and all
in her quiet way with, perhaps, not
even an Indian or a cliff-dweller to
applaud, writes George L. Beam, in
Four-Track News. While mortals out
in the world have been struggling for
existence, while the Napoleons have
been carrying on wholesale murder,
while the Michael Angeles have been
painting, while the Shakespeares and
the Chaucers have been writing, while
the Sir Launcelots have been iousting
and the NerOs misruling, during all
these periods in our civilization, high
up in the Businesses of the Rocky
mountains this silvery stream has been
peacefully pursuing its way down it's
little -gulch, tumbling over the rocks,
striking obstacles of fallen trees and
boulders, upon which it has deposited
its ever-increasing crust, forming its
peculiar basin, doing natures bidding
in the production of this wonderful
monument; all seemingly for the ben
eft of those occasional visitors who at
the present day see fit to make the trip
up the Grand river canyon to the
Hanging Lake"

THE FLEECY FLY

Downfall of tho Disciple of Izaaa

This story of the angler AID the
sheep is really very curious one, and
points 4 moral for those who would
let superstitious notions control their
actions. 1t was the "big" fish that had
defed the skill and most tempting
flies of the angler which led up to the
incident
On the great day that the great fish
came at length to the landing-net, the
angler began to cast over him with
the skill and care that were the ineV-
liable result of long habit, but at the
same time with despair at his heart,
so often had hope been deferred of in
ducing this particular fish to be his
victim; and as he sent back his fly to
cast for the third time, and began the
forward stroke, he was aware Of
slight tug and resistance at the end OF
the line. He was not one of the tire

A London scientist says that life in
a metropolis makes young children
sharp but not clever; that it often de-
stroys their chance of ever being
clever, for it hastens the development
of the brain unnaturally; it makes
them superficial, alert, but not OBJ
servant; excitable, but without one
spark of enthusiasm; they are apt to
grow blase tickle, disconnected; they
see more things from the country bred
child, but not such interesting things;
they do not properly see anything, for
they have neither the time nor ca
pacity to get at the root of all the be-
'wildering objects that crowd them
selves into their little lives. There is
more than grain of truth in this as
sertion.

neither was he SO unfamiliar with his
surroundings as not to know that
there were no bushes behind him
Heretofore he turned round with an
exclamation of establishment and be-
held sheep regarding him with rath-
er doubtful benevolence and a
thoughtful expression on it's face that
looked as if it might indicate a design
to butt him into the river But even
as these possible intentions of the

realized that what had arrested his fly

very act of drawing up the fly to make
another throw, was arrested, yet
again, by an unexpected tug; but this
time the tug came from the water

fish had taken the fly, and a good fish

And when the fisherman came tc

anime the fly he found it adorned With
small feecy feather, as he first
thought, but then saw to his surprise
that it was really tiny piece OF

So that was the end of that fish. and
in the result it proved to have offered
up its life as a vicarious sacrifice to
save that of sundry others of its kind
for the incident so impressed the
angler to whom it happened that he
now never will go fishing without
tuft of sleeps wool on his fly. and &C
a consequence, many a trout is scared

striking moral to the tale-so obviou,

Exploitation of the West.


Five years ago we who lived in the
far west were wondering when the
marvellous resources Of our one-third
iof the United States would be discov-
cred and exploited. To-day, says a
writer in The Reader, we awaken to
find our forests stripped, the places
where we pitched our tents, built our
smudges and fried our bacon and game
made desolate by the steam saw and
the freight car. The rivers where we
speared our salmon and the rushing
waters of the northwest where we cast
our seine have been made to fill the
labeled tins of highly capitalized syn
dicates, until the preservation of the
"sock-eye,' the most delicious of all
salmon, has become the subject of in
terstate conference The immense
plains, whose phenomenal productive
ity made legends of our "Mussel
Sloughs" and our "Yuba Dams" are
being turned into irrigated plaisances,
into trolley-strewn highways, into the
dense social conditions of Ohio, Iowa
and Illinois.
