Sow cowpeas In Drills.

After about Is years experience
with cowpeas and soy beans, l would
not think of broadcasting them, says
a writer in Farm and Home. l use a
nine-hoe drill, closing all but the GEN.
ter and two outside hoes. This makes
rows two feet apart. l set this to SOW
about one-half bushel seed per acre.
then cultivate two to four times &C.
cording to the season. This will give
a greater yield than when peas are
broadcasted and the seed saved will
pay for the cultivation. They are
also easier to harvest. Sow only when
the ground is warm, which is usually
uist after corn planting. We often
have a good crop of black peas after
wheat.

.iuMus HOLDS WATER.
A Valuable Element to Have in tho
Soil

Decayed and decaying vegetable
matter in the soil greatly increases
the power of the soil to hold water.
This is fact of such large conse-
quence that our agricultural scientists
are paying more and more attention
to 1t. One of the professors at Cor
nell university undertook to prove
the great value of humus as a holder
of water. He took two samples of
soil from places about 20 feet apart.
Everything about the location sug-
gested that the two samples should
show the same water content. But in
one of the locations three successive
crops of crimson clover had been
turned under. The sample of soil
from the place where no clover had
been turned under analysed SIS per
cent. moisture; 191 per cent humus
and IL nitrogen. The sample from
the soil where the crimson clover had
been turned under analyzed Is per
cent. moisture; 2.94 per cent. humus,
and 81 nitrogen. This was a gain of
6.25 in moisture content; 1903 humus
content and .09 nitrogen content.
There are very few people that stop
to consider what this means on an
depth of six inches it means that this
6.25 per cent. increased moisture
would equal 93,750, pounds or 46B
tons of waer. This amount of addi-
tional water would mean great deal
in dry season. The turning under
of an occasional crop of some green
stuff means much, if it does nothing
else than hold up the water content of
the soil. 1t would take great deal
of sprinkling from hose to put on
46 tons of water Many of the soils
that are now unproductive would,
says Farmers Review, be productive
if they had enough water to carry
them over the dry spell of summer.
But by bad farming methods the hu.
mus has been exhausted and this has
reduced the capacity of the soil for
carrying crops through the dry sea-
son. The crops start well in the
spring and seem to be doing nicely
till the summer dry spell begins,
when they at once droop as if some
insect were assailing them. The
trouble really is that the moisture
supply was SO light that it was soon
exhausted and the soil could not sup.
ply more. This loss Of water holding
capacity has really been at the bot
tom of numerous crop failures in diff
ferent localities. The humus supply
of the soil can be kept up by grow.
ing deep roofing crops and by fertiliz'
ing them so heavily that they will de,
velop great masses of roots. The
blowing under of crops grown for the
purpose, of course adds much humus
to the soil, but most farmers do not
like to lose the use of the land for
even, season. This may be avoided
by growing some leguminous crop in
the cornfield late in the season and
turning under the soil late in the fall
or early in the spring. Rotations OF
crops help to keep up the humus sup
ply, if there is grass sod to turn
under occasionally.

Manaolnu the Workers.

Managing the workers on farm is
science in itself. 1t is science that
few have studied sufficiently. Plan
ming out the work so that 1t may be
done in the best manner and in the
least time is equivalent to a saving
in dollars and cents. Not only should
the work be properly done and at the
right time, but the time between diff
ferent pieces of work should be as
small as possible. Here is point
at which great waste occurs. 1t is
like man forgetting something at
the store and having to drive back
rSles to get it. No man can properly
manage set of workers without put
ting some thought on it. Thinking
is not SO easy as it seems. To think
in logical manner requires effort.

New Austrian Railway.

Hitherto tourists from the United
States who chose the southern trip to
Europe left the steamer at Gibraltar
or Naples, but many, chiefly those
who had already been in Italy, now
come to Trieste and continue from
here their voyage by the new Aus
trian railway. There can hardly be
more beautiful country than the
regions which are made accessible by
this new Transalpine railroad. The
new railway is owned by the state,
and is 100 miles long. There are 40
tunnels, with total length of ten
miles. There are so bridges, one Of
which, across the river Zorro, has
the longest stone span in the world.
There are, besides, as many as 678
smaller bridges and Com

DOCKING LAMBS.
II Should Be Done Early, So Wounds
VIII Heal Quickly.

The lamb is locked when it is from
ten days to two weeks old. If left I'M
til older the blood vessels are better
developed and there is chance of
the lambs bleeding to death, says the
Criterion. At this stage the wound
heals quickly and growth is not inter-
rupted. The simplest tools to use
is a sharp, clean butcher knife. If an
attendant can be had he holds the
lamb in his arms, feet up. With one
hand he holds the legs and with the
other he draws the skin around the
tail within one inch of the body to-
ward the body, so that when the tail
is cut off the skin will slip back and
paStially cover the stub Of the tail.
The tail Is cut off with a butcher
knife while it lies on a small block
of wood, and within one and one-half
inches of The body.
After the docking the lambs are
closely watched for an hour or two.
Sometimes one bleeds more than he
should and string is tied about the
stub to stop the bleeding, after which
the string Is removed.

had acres of 2 rowed barley on fall
breaking that did not do so well, yet
it ripened and gave me all the feed
need for stock and seed for this
spring. did not have grain threshed,
so can't give yield, but the wheat
would have gone at least % bu. to the

The Breakers to Remain Closed.

Word comes from abroad that Mrs
Vanderbilt is to take large estate
near London, and that the Breakers
will not be open this season in New
port.
This will be the second summer that
this magnificent estate has been
closed, and it means social as well
as financial loss to the place.
To the gossips of the smart set 1t
means that something attractive is
keeping Mrs. Vanderbilt and her
daughter on the other side Of the At

MAKE HASTE IN HAVING.
Try and Have Cutting Done in First
Bloom.

The nearer hay approaches grass
plish this, it is necessary to cut the
crop early to secure it in good condi-
ton. In the first blossom is the ideal
time Farmers used to think it neces-
sary to dry hay excessively before
storing. Advanced ideas have proved
this method entirely wrong. The nat
ural juices of the hay should be re-
tanned as far as possible. Excessive
drying makes the hay dry and woody,
and removes large part of its nat
ural juices.
/ commence haying usually the last
week In June, says write in Farm
and home, and, weather permitting,
my hay is stored during July. find it
a good plan to put the mower on late
in the afternoon. This leaves it for
the first sun in the morning and 1T
willis a good deal during the night,
which aids the drying next day. II
cut in the morning heavy with dew, it
takes half the forenoon to get the wa
ter out of it. Some think the dew will
color hay cut in the afternoon, but 1t
will not do so unless cut early enough
to dry considerably.
The middle of the forenoon the
tedder should be put on and worked
until noon. The tedder is the most
valuable hay tool that we have. With
out it much hay would get wet, that
otherwise is safely stored in semi-dull
weather. Hay dries very fast when
constantly stirred. This is only posi-
BILE with tedder.
BY one o'clock the hay is ready to
rake and cart, unless it is very early
il the season or very heavy hay. In
that case it should be put up in good
sized cocks and left until the next day,
when it should be opened little to
air, then carted to the barn. Most of
the necessary drying has been accom-
plished in the cocks.
There is little danger of hay NOW
burning from the natural juices; 1t
is caused by introducing hay that has
been wet. For this reason 1t is essen
tial that hay that has been wet should
be thoroughly dried before storing.
The quicker hay is cured after cutting
the better it is. Swale hay requires
more drying than timothy or clover to
secure it from mow-burning. Swale
should be cut early; it is practically
worthless cut late.

HAPPENED At BAD TIME.
Minister'S Fall Significant In View Of
Previous Words.

In small church in one of the min
ing towns of Pennsylvania was pull
pit both antique and unique. 1t was
about the size and shape of a flour
barrel, was elevated from the floor
about four feet and was fastened to
the wall The ascent was by narrow
winding steps.
A minister from neighboring town,
q man of great vigor and vehemence,
preached there one Sunday. While
preaching he bent forward and shout
ed out with great force the words Of
his text:
1.-THE righteous shall stand, but the
wicked shall fall"
sJust as these words escaped from
his lips, the pulpit broke from its
fastening, and he fell out and rolled
over on the floor before his congre-
cation. In an instant he was on his
feet again and said:
Brethren, | am not hurt, and
don't mind the fall much, but ! do
hate the connection"

HINTS FOR FARMERS.

Don't let any clouds get between
you and the sunshine.
The farmers road to success is
paved with good resolutions.
Lie down and stretch out a few
minutes every day. Shut your eyes
and let the world go. 1t will do you
more good than anything else.
Sip the cold water you drink these
days. A lot of cold waterk gulped
down will be apt to bring on cole.
You haven't the time nor strength to
waste in that way.
When heavy winds come up, shut
thu doors at the barn and at the
house. If you don't, you may find
your roof away over in the back lot,
land that would not be much fun.
More than one building has been un-
rooted by leaving the doors open in a
