Wisconsin is the greatest pea raising
state Of the Union Thousands and
thousands Of acres are raised for can
ming. while a large acreage besides is
devoted to raising peas for seed. One
company In Eau Claire county grew
1900 acres Of peas this season on its
own land.
In the hop fields of Kent, England.
stills are now used by pickers instead
Of the time honored stepladders. Some
one has advanced the theory that this
same idea might be adopted by or
chardists in the pruning OF their trees
and gathering of fruit from higher
limbs. Maybe.
An eastern farmer who has had con-
siderable experience with Angora
goats speaks strongly Of them as
means of. deyouring and killing out
poison ivy in fence rows and brush
lots and. further, that few OF them
kept in a flock OF sheep are sure
protection for the latter animals
against attacks by dogs.
The theory Of feeding ratfons such
as turnips and silage Immediately aft
er milking in order to prevent con-
tamfnation Of the milk by favora Civ
en- off by the feeds is based on the
fact that the juices Of the foods in
which the fiayors are contained pass
of through other channels before the
time Of the next milking.
There are dogs and dogs. One kind
sleep at the corner Of the house, bound
out on passing teams and are not
worth the salt they get on the bones
they gnaw The other kind gnaw the
same kind Of bones, but In addition
are well bred, mind their business,
CAREFUL inspect strangers and can be
.7teu on to fetch up the cattle at
n GIT.
While their dumpy condition may
be due to other causes, it is often the
case that lice are at the bottom Of the
trouble with the poultry. In any event
an examination should be made, and
ff lice are present they should be gone
after hammer and tongs, which should
include not only treatment for the poul
try, but a fumigating and whiteWash
ing Of the poultry quarters.
Inasmuch as 1t seems to be the in
born tendency Of the hog to seek and
get into all the dirt and dlth it has
access to, 1t is the part Of good man
agement to make its quarters and
surroundings as clean and sanitary as
possible. When disease breaks out
in a herd Of swine the number Of
germs is quite apt to be in direct pro
portion to the filth present
Flowing with a steam or gasoline
tractor is not an unalloyed picnic
particularly If those IN charge Of the
work do not understand the business
thoroughly and do not have things
properly adjusted One farmer we
read OF the other day spent two days
with three men and boy getting one
Of these blowing outfits equipped and
after making four rounds gave it up
as q bad job and finished the field il
the old fashioned way four horses
and a gang pillow
Since the tfneF OF the soil does most
OF the grunting and sweating in con
nection with produce consumed by the
millions OF moaths Of the country It
Is an illuminating commentary on the
system or economic distribution ii
vogue that In spite OF all his labors he
gets but 50 cents OF the dollar which
the consumer pays for his produce. II
IS this very situation that Is response
BILE for the establishment In many lar
ger cities OF the country OF markets
where producers and consumers can
meet and trade.
The Wreeking OF the town OF Austin.
Pa, On Sept 50 BY a food OF water
Ioosed by the breaking Of the cement
dam OF the Bayliss Pulp and Paper
company. and that on the heels cf d
bad scare which the inhabitants of
the town had six months or more ago.
when the dam was strained to the
breaking point by winter rains, would
seem to emphasize the need OF Far
more stringent state laws which
would compel the inspection and reEair
OF these unsafe structures and the con
struction Of new dams for the purpose
of imnoundIng waters according 70
specifications furnished by competent
e,Til engineers.
