We are always glad to hear of

stock business and especially
when they are endeavoring to
raise more feed stuffs for them.
We know that our people can
raise cattle, that they can be
made remunerative and the man.
Bre made clear to enrich our
soil. We love cattle and pastures
green, and want to see more OF
ihem and better type. Yes, you
can have such pasture as you
desire, but such pastures come
only as the return for mOnev and
labor. Still they will pay and pa,
veil both in feed for your cattle
and in teaching you how to do
me right kind of work. We would
ilke for you TO carry out the fol
lowing program, and report re-
suits to the Cultivator. First, take
;en acres of land, fence off to
itself ; break it deep and harrow
sell. Put on all the manure YOU
gan spare; broadcast il over if
possible. Sow two acres in Dwarf
Essex rape two acres in rye and
bur clover and hairy vetch; two
acres IN rescue grass and Russian
Bronze two acres In wheat and
oats mixed. Our markets are
paying Armour d Co. over five
cents for beef gross; and If we
viii get good beef breeds and
Fatten them well there is no
reason why we can not get Just
rs good prices. If we will get at
matters In business way we
can not only raise cattle, but get
"A good market price for them.
Oar cities are growing and they
must be fed and our fresh beef
w!ll be much better than old
stale stuff shipped from Chica.

Curing Pea-Vine Hay.

w. j. j., Americus, Ga.-Please
send me some literature on the
best manner OF curing pea-vine
hay.
Answer: | may say, in the first
place, that there il no cut and
dried rule that VIII suit every
case. | will give you our method
which we have used for fifteen
years or more. with perfect sails
faction In saving a good quality
of hay without serious losses -
Cow pea vines make the best nay
when cut at the time it is In
bloom and just few ripe or full
pods on the vines, and properly
cured, but it is more difficult to
cure at that time than later. Our
practice is to wait until there are
good many dry pods on the
vines. We start the mower after
the dew is off In the morning and
run 1t until noon, or a little later.
sometimes. The vines are allowed
10 lie on the ground, provided
there are no indications whatever
OF rain. The next morning. after
the dew is gone, they are TUNED
over or raked into windrows with
hay rake. In the afternoon we
put them in cocks about five or
six feet high and let them remain
without any further attention un
less there shall be strong indIca
tions of rain, in which case we
cover each cock with what we
call hay cap. This is made OF
ordinary seconds, sheetlDgs or
drillings, whice costs six or seven
cents a yard. Each cap is six feet
square with rough eyelet hole
worked In each corner. 1t is
stretched tightly over the cock
and tied down by means of a
piece Of twine or whisp of hay
near the bottom of the cock
Thus protected, the hay will
stand until 1t is ready for the
barn, which will be known by
twisting any one of the large
stems between the thumb and
finger. If no moisture exudes or
becomes visible, the hay can be
carried to the barn and stored
away, or put into a large stock
and covered with a few pounds
of straw or grass hay. A farmer
must exercise his sound Judgment
in the details Of the process from
cutting to storing away.

Il might be said that ssfonor crossed batons
with Sousa yesterday. If 6afonoT were not bare
handed conductor, Under his leadership the Phil
harmonic Orchestra did violence 10 its traditions
and gave a concert yesterday afternoon the
Hppodrome. The programme OF the two concerts
last week repeated, but the prices for seats
were much less than at Carnegie Hall. and IL was
expected that the great auditorium would be filed.
The contrary the case An auditorium that is
packed TO the doors when Sousa plays was half
empty when Safonoff stepped out before his band.
The Philharmonic Society had intended to repeat
each OF It's eight concerts this season at the Hippo
drome, but that was before they had tested the
popular hunger for symphonic music They may
abandon the project now.
These who did attend Yesterdays concert, how
ever, were fun OF new enthusiasm when they
left They were capttvated by the Mozart seFenade;
applauded Lhevinne's faithfully conceived and
nobly rendered performance Of the Rubinstein D

would come again, and bring others with them;
that under its present leadership the Philharmonic

It evident yesterday that this following must

IN the evening the Russian Symphony Society
also gave a concert at the Hippodrome. with the

their fine soloist Of last week however and in his

countrymen, who recall only his wonderfully hand
and dashing appearance. his many brilliant
accomplishments and his kindly, merry and genial
ways in his better nom ants. He has left many

also among the inferior ranks of society. while he
