Hiram Warner Mapes Dead

Milwaukee. Hiram Warner
Mapes, who in the span of his life
saw anthracite in it's evolution until
today it occupies an important posi-
ton in the economy of the home, is
dead in his residence, 299 Second
avenue, at the advanced age of 81
years.
When he was years of age he
saw the first hard coal in America
taken from a pit at Pittston, Pa. The
next year some of his relatives who
had taken the coal out and RATED it
down the river secured but $40 for
forty tons, and second load was
dumped into the river because no
buyers could he found.
1t was Mr. Mapes' father who built
the first crude coal stove in this
country. Another incident in the
younger man's life was his aiding
several other young men in stripping
the first locomotive brought to this
country of its brass rods from the
sale of which they procured small
beer and gingerbread.

Grow Peas
forProteinf for
Feeding
Stock
BY PROF. r. A. MOORE
Wisconsin College q Agriculture

The field pea is grown to consid-
cradle extent in certain sections Of
Wisconsin with excellent results. The
best yields are obtained on clay loan
soils, which are not too rich. The
largest crops are secured on fall
plowed land, which has been well ma
nured for previous crop. The crop
may be harvested economically by cut
ting the peas with mower equipped
with a pea lifting attachment. The
crop must be thoroughly cured in
small covered lunches before it is
stored.
The value of the pea crop lies both
In the worth of the peas as a feed for
farm animals and in the beneficial
effect of the plant as soil improver.
The average yields of an acre of peas
contains more digestible protein than
any other common Wisconsin grain
crop and the yield Of peas per acre
averages above wheat. The heavy
yielding varieties furnish excellent
food for pigs, and sheep may be fed
pea straw as roughage with good re.
suits, since 1t compares favorably
with clover and timothy hay as a
food. Field peas can be grown in ro-
tatlon for soil Improvement with profit

Peas are a valuable feeding crop

size to be pulled readily. A thorough
watering of the bed the day previous
to pulling the weeds will enable them
to be pulled more readily. II the seed

tie the soil around the roots.
1t sometimes happens that the
young plants are checked and take on
an unhealthy yellow appearance at
about the time they are half grown.
This Is due generally to the soil be-
coming very compact, making 1t diff
cult for the rootlets to get down into
the soil where the plant food is most
available. This can frequently be
remedied by applying dissolved fer.
tilizers to the plants. For this pur.
pose, nitrate of soda. or liquid COW
manure or chicken manure may be
used.
1t is important for the production
of strong plant for Sc ting out to re-

The field pea is leguminous plant,
and In common with other legumes,
such as clover, alfalfa, and the
vetches, has the ability to gather nit
rogen from the atmosphere. Like
these crops, peas increase the store
of nitrogen in the soil. For this rea-
son peas are a good crop to raise on
soils naturally deficient in nitrogen.
such as the newly cleared, red clay
lands.
Peas also increase the fertility OF
the soil by increasing the supply OF
humus and thus improve its physical
character, making 1t more porous and
mellow. Peas probably do this in part
by means of the dense foliage, which
helps to keep the soil moist by ex.
Guiding the sunlight.

CARE OF

PLANT BED

The tobacco seed is very small.
consequently 1t contains only very
small amount of reserve food for de-
veloping leaves AID roots, Very soon
after the seed has sprouted. 1t must
rely upon its own roots to obtain
plant food from the soil. For this rea-
son there Is period OF two or three
weeks just after the plants appear
above the surface Of the soil, that
they apparently make no growth. Dur
Ing this time all the material the
small leaves are capable OF elaborat
Ing goes towards the formation OF the
root system which is to furnish the
elements of plant food from the soil.
When the root system finally gets
large enough to supply more food
than Is necessary for the production
OF roots. the leaves begin to grow.
At this critical period in the life Of
the plant, It is essential that the beds
receive frequent and careful atten-
ton. The soil should not be allowed
to dry out to any depth as this may
materially check or even kill some
plants. Cold water should not be
used. 1t is better to let 1t stand in
barrels or tanks for a day or two uTl'
til the chill has been removed. the
water should not be flooded over the
plants, but be put on so as to allow
it to soak into the soil gradually.

is watered the soil should be made

are large. The surface soil may then
