has for feeding after the crop has
been threshed.
Thrcshing
After the peas have been dried out
l'sut;ciently they may either be
threshed directly from the field, or
placed in the stack or barn to be
threshed later.
The peas may be threshed with an
ordinary threshing machine, but
more or less of the seed is cracked
and broken by the process However,
if the seed is to be used for feeding
purposes the proportion which is
cracked or broken makes but little
difference. If the field peas are to be
used for seed, the cracked and bro
ken seeds are of no value. If most
of the teeth are removed from the
concaves of the thresher and the rate
of speed at which the cylinder ro-
tates is reduced the number of seeds
ihat are cracked will be greatly re-
duCcd. The peas which are to be
used for feeding purposes may also
be successfully threshed out with a
grain fail, Very few of the peas will
be broken when threshed in this way.
In regions where peas are grown in
large quantities to be sold and used
for seed, special machines that are
manufactured for threshing peas and
beans are used.
Enemies of Field Peas
There are not many serious enc
mics of the field pea crop in Wash
ington The mildew which sometimes
I a
Pullman. Ground squirrels are very
fond of field peas, but have not given
any serious trouble on the expert
ment station farm. There are few
insects which live on field peas. Only
one of these, the pea WceVel (Bru-
chus pisorum), has been found in
any considerable numbers at Pull
man. While the weevils have been
present in the crop every year, they
! have not increased but are found in
rather less numbers than a few years
ago. This reduction in numbers is
probably due to the treatment which
! the seed received each winter The
peas which are to be used for plant
| ing the next years crop are placed
I in tight box and then treated with
carbon bisulphide After putting in
the bisulphide the box is kept tight
~ closed for Il day or two. Care must
be used in handling the carbon BIZ
sulphide, as the fumes are poisonous
/ if inhaled in sufficient quantities. 1t
is also quite inflammable.
Summary
The result of eXperim indicate
that field peas can be grown success
fully in many parts of Washington
Field peas can be easily grown and
harvested by using practically the
same machinery that is already at
hand on most farms.
The high proportion of protein con-
tanned in both the hay and the seed
of field peas, makes this a valuable
crop for feeding in combination with
corn fodder, timothy hay, grain hay
and grain from the ordinary cereal
crops
Field peas are well adapted for
growing in rotation with grain on
much of the farming land in Wash-
ington. The ability of the plants Ia
gather, indirectly. nitrogen from the
air and leave a portion of this nitro
gen in the soil in forms available as
plant food for succeeding crops,
mixes field peas useful crop for
maintaining the fertility of the soil.

GARDEN
An Iowa correspondent writes:


Il, myself. and | think many 9TH
ers, would like to get all the infor-
nation we can along the line of
keeping apples When we bought
our apple trees we bought those
which were recommended for this
latitude, and for winter apples we
got the Wolf river Hibernal,
Wealthy ,McMahan land others like
them Now we find that they are not
good keepers, and this year we have
lots of them We would like to keep
them through the winter. l found
years ago that apples would keep bet
ter buried than in the celler. When
pick apples when ripe along about
the 18th of September, and put them
in the cellar, they get dry and mealy
and are not good. l would like to
ask the following questions: VIII
apples keep if you bury them as soon
as picked, say September 18th or lat
err? Would it pay to put some ap
pies in cold storage? L would have
to haul them about thirty miles to
do so. / do not know what the
charges would be. Should apples be
picked a little green or entirely ripe
for cold storage? At what stage of
maturity should they be picked when
buried outside? Would there be any
benefit in wrapping each apple in pa
per? Which is the best package in
which to keep apples when they are
stored, tight boxes and barrels or in
boxes with cracks in them? | was
thinking of using lemon and orange
boxes. Barrels are hard to get"
1t takes very careful methods to
store such varieties as the Wealthy.
Fall varieties of apples are generally
rather tender skinned, and it is diff
cult to handle the crop without con-
siderable bruising. Also the Temporal
ture at the time of ripening is likely
to be high, and storage life is there
by greatly reduced because of ripen-
ing which takes place after picking
and before storing.
The best way to store apples, if it
is at all convenient and the price of
storage is not too high, is in a COM
mercial cold storage house. The way
to prepare apples for storage in such
Z house is as follows:

THE DREAMER

You herd with the money changers;
| live with the dreamers of dreams
My friends are the rainbow chasers
Who gather its gold in it's CLEANS.
You haggle and trade and barter
From dawn till the dead hours OF
night;
/ wander by river and woodland,
Where the wonders of nature de-
light.
You build of marble your mansions
And sleep on mattress and brass;
The trees are my only shelter,
Ny couch is the sweet-sccnted grass
You drink from Il silver goblet
Rare liquors and seasoned wines;
| pluck from their festooned arches
Grapes from the unframed vine
You die and a hundred mourners
Feign sorrow and comfortable grief;
My spirit departs on it's journey
Alone with a sigh of relief
The birds and the wild, shy creatures
Mourn for their silent friend,
And the wind plays a dirge on the
treetOpS
AS in sorrow their tall heads bend
You die and the world has forgotten
The busy street where you walked,
The haunts of your hours of pleasure,
The marts of trade where you
talked;
| leave in the tangled forests
The paths that my feet have made,
And the scars of my campfire ashes
That mark where my body laid.

Freedom from Pain!
Made Easy by Famous Scotch Doc
tors Prescription

The wonderful remedy, Mysterious
Pain Ease, that is now in steady de-
mand from Maine to California, came
to America by accident.
Twenty years ago Junius Barnes
was injured in a railway accident
near New York City and was attend
ed by a fellow traveler-a Scotch
Physician-who gave him a secret
prescription that effected an almost
miraculous cure of serious sprain
From this small beginning, Myster-
ious Pain Ease has come to be re-
garded by physicians as the one safe,
quick and harmless remedy of its
sort on the market.
Read what DR.. Frankie, the emin-
ent technical and analytical chemist
Of New York says:
1T have made thorough examination of
Mysterious Pain Ease AMI am willing to 20
upon record to the effect that safer, better
or more effective remedy for the Ills, that II Il
compounded for, cannot possibly be found

ANOTHER FALSE ALARM.

There has during the past forty
eight hours been an epidemic of false
alarms of fire in this city. Shortly
after seven O'Clock yesterday evening
an alarm was sounded and the steam
engines and truck were soon rushing
out north Royal street followed by q
small army-nostly boys. The cause
Of the alarm proved to be burning
pile of trash. It is said it costs the
CITY about ten dollars every time the
Are apparatus is taken out, and it
seems some plau could be devised by
which it could not be rushed into the
streets every time some small boy cries
fire as he dances in front Of a pyramid
of burning leaves. The season is ap-
preaching when urchins will gather
leaves almost as fast as they fall from
the trees for the purpose of Eindling
fires, The practice is obnoxious to
many people from the fact that the
smoke is blown through their huuses.

OLD RATE PROBABLY STANDS.

Alfred E. Wood, Washington at
torney, acting for the Washington
Chamber OF Commerce, has probably
effectively blocked the efforts OF the
MISREPRESENTATION Railway to in
crease passenger fares between Wash.
ineton and Alexandria from 15 cents to
so cents.
The road has applied to the Inter
State Commerce Commission for per-
mission to raise the passenger. rate,
but a petition filed by the Chamber of
Commerce on data gathered by Mr..
Wood is so thorough that Chamber of
Commerce officials say they will rest
their case on the strength OF Mr..
Woods petition.
Passengers from Washington to
Richmond usually secure a cheaper
rate by paying two fares, one between
Washington and Alexandria over the
electric road and then buying ticket
from Alexanria to Richmond at the
2L cent rate charged in the state Of
Virginia.

The Oriuin of Ounce.

A Ounce IS named after UunS SCOUTS,
the chief and leader Of the schoolmen
who were in opposition to what was
called the new learning" IN the SIX
tepnth century. 1t is easy to see how
readily convertible the term would be.
Any opponent Of the new learning
would be apt TO be referred to as a
Dunsman. or. more briefly, as Duns,
10 Indicate that he held the views of
which Duns Scotus was the most emf
nert representative. But as the time
went on and the new learning triumph
ed to call any one Dunsman or a
Ounce would be equivalent to describ-
ing him not merely as opposed to a
certain set OF doctrines, but as inca
pable OF learning and enlightenment
1t is certainly hard upon Duns Scctus,
as Archbishop Trench has remarked,
that he, the subtle doctor" by pre-
erninence, the "wittiest Of the school
divines." as Hooker terms him, should
have his name handed down to future
ages as a synonym for invincible stu
pidity.

WATER DIMINISHING.
Runs Low Again---No Alarm, How
ever, as Yet, Though Supply
May be Soon Scant.

While not alarming, it is apparent
that AlexanGria's water supply is again
diminishing, and, should present con-
ditions continne much longer, another
caution will be necessary 10 order that
the supply be not thoughtlessly con-
sumed. The water sheds are again low
enough TO cause uneasiness.
The section OF Fairfax county about
Bailey's Cross Roads is now on the
verge Of drought unless rain visits that
section and replenishes the wells and
springs. That is the assertion OF many
Fairfayians who come to Alex
andria with their produce. Five
miles they say is the range through
which water is scarcer than it has been
in recent years. The shallow wells are
almost completely dried up and the
deeper ones show decrease in
their supply. A few springs are the
ONLY source to which residents OF this
section can resort il the present
drought materializes.
The continuation of the drought is
becoming alarming from Vienna vest
ward to Leesburg. The railroad COM
pany having provided artesian wells,
water for their engines is easily pro-
cured, but people who depend upon
runs, springs and wells are experiencing
considerable trouble owing to- the lack
Of water.
