Home given by the Misses Futrell
Wednesday evening, July 81, 9 to II,
in honor of their guests, Miss Ruby

guests were met at the hall door bv
Misses Elizabeth and Undine Futrell
and welcomed at the parlor door by
Misses Katherine Futrell, Ruby Reid.
and Mary Undertake. About 10
O'Clock the guessing contest of the
evening was introduced. This was a
romance in the form of questions.
each of which was answered by the
title Of a Shakesperean play. The
contest ended in a tie between Miss
Reid and Miss Timberlake, who drew
for the prize, a dainty box Of candy.
Miss Tin?berlake was the lucky one
and Mr.. A. C. Perry in a witty and
graceful speech presented it to her.
delicious refreshments were served
afterwards by Misses Louise Futrell
and Katherine Hancock. All too
soon the hands of the clock pointed
to midnight and the gay party dis
persed after bidding their hostess a
joyous good night.
The beautiful home was daintilv
decorated for the occasion and every

Pea Vines Feeding Value.

The feeding value of pea vine hay
is becoming more generally recog-
nized. The failure to secure a stand
of red clover has materially enhanced
its value in the eyes of the farmer,
for it is really the best substitute for
clover hay that has yet been found.
Considering its feeding value alone,
it is much richer in digestible pro-
tein than clover hay, and for certain
purposes on the farm is more valu-
able.
Pea vine hay is splendidly adapted
for feeding to sheep and to cattle
whether milk or beef production be
the object in view. 1t is not so we'll
adapted to feeding to horses and
mules, especially to horses, because
it is dusty and is supposed to be one
of the principal causes of "heaves."
While it is true that clover hay is
fertile cause of heaves, it is not so
likely to produce the disease as pea
hay. Many have objected to using
pea hay for horses because it has
been said to be frequent cause Of
death.
Investigation has generally shown
that death was only followed when
moldy pea hay was fed, and as the
feeding of timothy or clover hay un-
der the same conditions would as
likely have produced death, it is not
fair to attribute any injurious effects
to properly made and cured pea hay.
More or less of good quality Of
pea hay has been fed to horses and
mules on the university farm for the
past three years without injuring eff

sills. Three cap pieces two inches by

ceive tops of posts. The caps are of
oak. One oak piece in front of the
cap, which holds the stanchion, is
two inches by two inches and four

board two inches by seventeen inches

one board two inches by ten inches,

two pieces two inches by twelve
inches, four feet four inches long, cut
sloping to fit the frame. 1t is put

front are bolted at the bottom be-
tween a two inch by four inch piece,
and the sill, leaving a space up and
down in front five inches wide. Two

the stanchion slope cut a place for
the animals neck. The two inches

side of the cap with blocks to allow
the top of the stanchions to open and
close and work with a lever. The
lever, which can be made of wagon
tire, is FIVE feet six inches long. A
three-eight-inch hole is punched in
the top of the lever, second hole
thirteen and a half inches from top
hole, and the third eleven inches
from second hole. The upper hole is
for attachment of two iron straps,
one on each side, which are fastened
to the left hand stanchion. From the
lower hole two pieces of iron four
teen inches long go to the right hand
stanchion. When the stanchions are
closed bore one or two half-inch
holes in post back of lever, in which

ions in place.-Montreal Star.

Horses and Cattle Together.

Mr.. L. T., of Fairmont, Neb., asks
whether it is good practice to run
different classes of stock together in
a pasture. We never like to put VIC
ious or troublesome horses in with
cattle, for they are apt to annoy the
cattle, but few horses put in the
cattle pasture will help clean up the
pasture, for the horses will eat the
rich growth around the spots where
the manure of the cattle has dropped.
A few sheep run in with cattle will
not touch. The most important thing
Is not to overstock with any one class,
to the detriment of the other. Pas
lures in which horses, cattle and
sheep are 1un will be eaten down
close, and one should never over
stock.-ILdinna Farmer.

land at one, two or three feet In
depth than that of the late, the great
est difference in it's favor being found
in the surface root.
When the moisture contents of
this particular soil falls below twelve
per cent. the leaves of many plants
curl early in the day, and the plant
turns yellowish color and is more or
less checked in its growth.
Nitrification takes place with a
gradually decreasing intensity, at
one, two or three feet in depth.
The seasonal average amount OF
available nitrogen found for the early
plowed land in the surface foot is
twice that found for the late at the
same depth.
The available nitrogen in the sur
face foot Of the early plowed field
Is four times that found in either the
second or third foot, early or late
land.
That the mean soil temperature
for the early plowed land is in all
cases during the entire season lower
than that found for the late plowed.
The low mean soil temperature
found for the early plowed land is
accompanied throughout the season
by greater amount of moisture and
available nitrogen than is the case
with the late plowed, which has the
higher temperature.
In many cases high temperature
is followed by high rate of nitriflca-
tion, while in others it is not, thus
suggesting that the process of nitrifi-
cation is more or less dependent upon
what may be called the rate relation
between the water content and the
temperature of the soil, provided
other factors are avorable.-Rich-
mond Times-Dispatch.

a clumsy affair and not a little eel
bow grease" was required to manipu-
late it. In the illustration is shown
one of newer hand churns, which nev-
ertheless contains most of the prin-
ciples of the older churns. The only
change is in the application of the
power mechanism. In this machine
the power is so placed that little ef-
fort is required to operate it. A foot
pedal is added, and the hand power
is entirely different from the old
method. Instead of forcing the pad
die up from the churn after every de-
scent with the hands, springs are
placed beneath the hand grips which
do the forcing automatically. 1t
would be possible to operate this
churn and at the same time read a
book or newspaper. A Kentucky

that next to corn sorghum is very

mer feed for cattle, hogs and other
classes of stock. Enormous yields OF

any other crop, and its palatability is
unquestioned. 1t can be cut and
cured where sowed thick and is not
allowed to get too coarse, and will
serve as very good hay, the leaves
being smoother and equally as palata-
BILE as those of corn. Cattle and pigs
will eat the grain and chew the stalks
of ripened cane, and in this form it
is considered good feed that need
not be wasted If not fed as soiling.

THUNDER MOUNTAIN
FINDS ORE AT DEPTH

S. l.. Boyer, manager for Thunder
Mountain Gold company, whose prop
erty is on Crooked river, left Tuesday
for Philadelphia to attend the annual
meeting of the company, and to report
to the stockholders the progress of
the work at the mine, and confer with
the directors as to the future of the
property.
The forth coming meeting, which is
to De on the 10th, will probably be the
most satisfactory and important session
ever held by the company, because of
the fact that Mr.. Boyer will be able to
state that six feet of ore has been
struck at depth of $50 feet. The ore
is in No. Champion tunnel, and, Mr.
Boyer states, it is of good value and
will be milled. At the Philadelphia
meeting plans will be perfected for
equipping the mill so it can be run this
winter. A new .60-horse power boiler
will be among the additions, also ma
