$500 PER DAY FOR FARMER

War in Europe is giving merchants
an excuse for raising the prices Of
everything the farmer has TO buy.
We need every penny we can get TO
make better homes and educate the
children, and cannot afford 10 buy
things we can raise al home, or get
by a few days work.
A days work that brings in $500
to a farmer or his boys is surely
profitable. The thousands OF farm
ers in eastern Kentucky that have
cowpeas have the chance TO earn
that much for several days now dur
ing the, next month. And the work
is simply the easy job OF picking
cowpea seed
I'm all reason cowpea seed will be
around $500 per bu. ext spring. ANY
active boy or man can go out and
pick of pods with two or three
bushels Of seed in them, and when
well-dried they can be easily beaten
out OF the pods.

Time TO Pick Cowpea Seed
When good number OF pods have
ripened go through the field with a
basket, or with large mouthed sack
slung over your shoulder TO put the
pods In. Spread the pods out thinly
IN a dry place to become perfectly
dry so they will not mold. You can
probably go through the field two or
three times within the next two

TIME TO CUT C0wPEA HAY

The best time to cut cowpeas for
hay is when many pods are full
grown and considerable number
are ripe. AT this stage nearly all the
leaves will still be on the vines and
the leaves are the best part of the
hay.
The peas should be cut after dew
dries and before noon, and should
lay in swath until well wilted, but
not till dry and brittle. They should
then be raked into windows. This
may be the same day or the day
after moving.
They should lay in the windrow
a day or two and then be put into
small shocks. They should stay in
the shock several days before stack
ing or putting in barn.
A good rule is that peas are ready
for stack or now when il is not Dos
sible to wiring any moisture out Of
the stems by twisting a handful with
considerable force. If the hay is

that the wheat shipped from the 1913
crop was almost the same as the 1912

REFUGE FOR BIRDS
Suggestion to Set Apart Old Fort
SiSSetOn.

Aberdeen, Dec. 1.-THE point is
being made that since South Dakota
has established a game preserve in
the western part of the state where
there is big game. it is reasonable
that ii shall establish a bird refuge
in the eastern part of the state where
the game birds resort. The old Fort
Sisseton tract is suggested as now
readily available for this sort of
thing.
This sounds reasonable and desir-
able. The reservation is now leased
by a club of rich eastern sportsmen
who come out to the buildings of the
fort, which they have furnished for
habitation. and spend a fortnight
hunting. Ii is located in the midst
of the lake region of the state and
would become the feeding ground for
myriad aocks if they could multiply
there in safety. There would be
plenty of chance for good hunting
when the birds were out of bounds.
The utter folly OF selhshly shoot
ing out a lake was illustrated this
fall at a nearby body of water wher

stroyed by the persistent shooting oil
