FOR SWINE
cowpeas Almost as Good as
Clover for Hog Pasture.
Forage Plant Well Adapted to Needs
Of South and Among Best Crops
for Grazing and solIing-
Source of Profit.

Hog raisers should grow cowpeas
FOR hogs are fond of them, and they
are almost as good. If not fully as
good, as red clover or alfalfa. In fact
the cowpea has been described as be-
ing to the south what red clover is
to the north, or alfalfa to the vest
forage plant well adapted to the
needs of the region-and esteemed
among the best crops for grazing and
soiling.
BY judicious selection OF varieties,
fields ready for use can be had from
midsummer until cold weather, and a
good part of what is needed for this
purpose can be grown as a catch crop
without interfering with the regular
crops grown on the same ground.
This is especially SO when they are
grown between corn rows, being
planted when the corn is laid by and
grazed after the corn Is gathered.
Probably about half Of the coWpeas
grown in the south are grown and
graZed In this way, and are regarded
as providing the best possible pasture

on a ledge or projection from the
walls on each side. These pieces OF
plank have hooks driven in on both
edges far enough apart to receive the
Mans, SO that row may be hung on
each side. When 2ull, each is pushed
along TO one side and another filed,
and SO on till all are in their places.
The yentilators above are then open
Cd, and smoke is started on the heap
OF ashes below. For this purpose,
cobs are used, or unseasoned maple, or
body hickory. The smoking should be
slow. BY the time the smoke has
passed up through the opening in the
arch, it has become cold, and cannot
heat the hams. Ten or twelve days
will usually be enough for the com
completion of the operation, when the
yentilators at the end and in the CHM
ney above are closed shut. The hams
being now kept perfectly dark and
thoroughly excluded from the air out
side, they will keep In good condi-
ton; flies will do no Injury through
the summer With#a small fire started
once month, and with the upper
ventilator partly open at the time.
This obviates the common and trou.
blesome task Of encasing the hams
in muslin, withdrawing them. or
packing them in oats Of ashes.
1t is obvious that the apartment
used as store room may be omitted,
and the smoke house built alone The

SATISFACTORY FIRE-PRoO SMOKE HOUSE
view Ct the Fire-Proof Smoke House.

VIZ V1 Liz TIL C"bGSGf SEI0RS FVCuSSa
In response to a query as to a
simple smoke house for family use
and the best methods OF smoking hams
and bacon in small quantities the
Country Gentleman makes the follow
ing reply:
A fre-proof smoke house, and store
room combined that has given excel
lent satisfaction was built as fol-
lows:
The building is divided into two sec
lions, that facing the dwelling and sit
uated at the right end in the diagram
being encased in stone walls and closed
with dark shutters when desired, an
sWers a useful purpose for keeping
fruit, fresh meat and provisions gen
orally.
The left-hand half of the building is
occupied with the smoke house. The
diagram shows the position Of the diff
ferent parts. The ash pit, surround
ed by stone walls and layer Of stone
beneath, laid In water-lime mortar,
and securely coated with the same,
keeps the ashes dry, and no water can
enter. The ash PIT is entered by an
iron door, shown both In the view and
section. Over it is q brick arch, con-
tanning several holes the size Of a
half brick, through which the smoke
passes into the smoke apartment
above, which Is entered by the outside
door on the left end OF the build
ing, by the assistance of stepladder.
This smoke house is six by ten feet
in the clear The ventilating window
at the end, and the ventilating chin
ney at the top, are both opened when
the hams are smoking, and closely
shut when the operation is completed.
The top of the arch forms the floor of
the smoke room.
IA large number of hams may be
placed in this room by the following
arrangement; Pieces Of hardwood
plank, eight inches wide and long
enough to reach across the room, rest

SENATOR STEPHENSON, WHO DEFIEs AGE.

. a
Senator Isaac Stephenson OF Wis
consin, the oldest member of either
branch of congress. Is standing the
scorching hot weather Of the national
capital better than any Of his coli
leagues. In Wisconsin Mr.. Stephen
son Is known as Uncle Ike, but
among his senate associates he liz
Familiarity hailed as DE- Ike.
Although Mr.. Stephenson makes no
pretentions to a knowledge Of nediS
cine as laid down In the books, and
frequently admits that he Is not
abreast Of the modern medical SEX
ence, he has had d practical expert
ence which he thinks fits him TO give
advice to the ailing As far back az
the early ffties, Mr. Stephenson was
healing the sick. He was then In
charge of various lumbe camps ~
the Lake Superior region of northern
Wisconsin. u
For fifteen years. said Mr..
Stephenson, i've were without doc

for hogs. They just can't be beat, and
more Of them should be raised for the
bacon and lard makers.
When cowpeas are pastured by
hogs the droppings return nearly ALI
the fertilizing elements Of the crop
to the soil and benefit the field near
" as much as though the entire crop
were plowed under as a green ma
nure. The meat produced is clear
profit. The crop does not bear contin-
uous grazing, still it gives abundant
feed for a month or six weeks, and
by arranging succession of fields
good pasture may be provided during
several mcNths. More actual feed Is
produced with less waste per acre
when the vines are cut or pulled for
soiling, for which cowpeas are q
great crop. A bulletin issued by the
Mississippi experiment station says
that in that state cowpeas for hogs
pasture, without grain. have given
better results than any other crop. In
one test the crop was grown on their
hill land, where one acre of cowpea
produced $50 pounds of pork. In an.
other test on rich valley land one acre
Of coWpeas produced 483 pounds Of
pork. The hogs were turned into tbs
field when the peas were about ripe.
GoWpeas will do well in any state
south, and they can be made a source
of great wealth to the south by feed
ing them to hogs il southern farmers
will catch on and plant more hogs
and cowpeas.

YOsHlHT0, NEW JAPANESE EMPEROR

The new emperor Of Japan, the
Mikado Yoshihito. faces a gigantic
task as he steps into the place made
vacant BY his remarkable father, the.
Emperor Mutsuhito who died recently
after prolonged illness.
Yoshihito ID the third son OF the de-
ceased ruler and was proclaimed
crown prince In 1888. He is a man OF
strong character and enyiable attain
ments in war and statecraft. He is an
officer In the army and in the navy
and has seen severe service in both
branches. He was married in 1900
and has three children. With all the
advantages Of a modern education and
in full accord with the advanced ideas
of the late emperor, he should prove
q worthy successor to his father, who,
though an oriental, was one OF the
truly great men of the age. He is the
one hundred and tWenty-second ruler
Of Japan in his line, which, according
to Japanese legend, Is descended from
