Z A Remington motor car owner
was driving to Wilmington Saturday
afternoon At one of the most remote
spots of the Searsburg wilderness
hemmed road the autoist was startl-
ed by the sudden appearance from
behind a rock of man with gun
ordering a halt Visions of highway
robbery sure and possibly sudden
death flashed through the mind of
the motorist as he brought his car to
quick stop in response to the imper-
ious order. Waiting in fear and
trembling to know his fate the auto
list was immensely relieved when the
roadside spector remarked: IF you
want to get to Wilmington you will
have to go through Heartwellville as
the long bridge over the Deerfield at
Searsburg IS down" The guardian
of the road was merely one of the
Briggs boys out to warn travellers of
the collapse of the bridge and he had
brought a gun along, thinking he
might get a shot at a woodchuck
The auto party were so relieved that
they turned around and came home,

Too great care can hardly be taken
IN the matter of seeing 10 il that pork
III all its forms Is thoroughly cooked.
This is made necessary owing to the
fact that the flesh,of many hogs is in
tested with niiiiTfte parasites or worms
known as trichiiae. Ii these are not
killed in the cooking process they are
likely TO pass from pork Just eaten
into the muscular tissue of the stom-
nch and into other organs. Cases OF
the disease, for which there is no cure,
most often result from eating uncook-
cd hams and smoked sausages. Fresh
pork should be fried or baked until all
OF it has turned TO white color,
which has 10 pinltish tinge. Hams
and other portions that are boiled
should be cooked from fifteen to eight
cen minutes for each pound of weight
if put into boiling water. If put into
cold water deduct half the time re-
quired to bring the water to the boil
ing point On this basis 1t would re-
quire 1S0 minutes to cook ham if
put into boiling water. while if it re-
quired an hour to bring the ham to tho
boiling point ii put into cold water
thirty minutes should be deducted
from the boiling period which would
leave two hours and Il half. That the
danger of trichinosis is not matter of

FORAGE CROPS.

"A reader of these notes living in In
diana makes inquiry in regard TO the
feeding and nutritiye value of field
peas as compared with the common
English or garden peas; also what va
riety, If any, natures in time TO plant
late potatoes on the same ground.
From the standpoint of nutritive value
as feeds and rs renovators of the soil
there is not Il great deal of difference
between common garden peas, Canadi-
an field peas and cowpeas. All are
s legulhes.a soil builders and renovators.
However. there is one difference be-
tween two of the peas mentioned that
it is well to keep in mind. The Cana
dian field pea is a cold weather plant
and may be sown the latter part Of
April. Experiments show that they
may be "hogged down" as early as the
middle of july. The so called cowpea
is not really IL pea at all. but bean,
and is warm weather plant. 1t
should be sowed Mt or shortly after
corn planting time. In the latitude in
which our correspondent liyes-42 de-
grees. near the Michigan line-the cow
pea might give better results than in
the section where the writer lives.
Here rape has given better results
than either Canadian peas or cowpeas
as hogging down proposition. The
variety of Canadian field peas which
have given best results in experiments
conducted by the Iowa station is
known as the White, and about three
bushels are sown to the acre, the peas
costing usually about S2.25 per bushel.
Rape is extremely hardy and may be
sown with the early oats or by itself
as soon as the ground is warm
enough for any seeding. The Dwarf
Essex is very satisfactory, and about
three pounds of seed are sQwn TO the
acre. Best results will be secured il
the soil is rich and put in the best Of
filth before the seed is sown. If our
correspondent wants to plant potatoes
later in the season on the ground occll-
pied by his forage crop he would have
TO SOW either rape or the Canada peas.

While the intent is most commend
able it strikes The Banner that the
performance smacks a good deal of
sounding brass and tinkling cymbal.
1t is too much like comforting a high
military title on a civilian. 1t may
sound we'll but doesn't add much to
the state or individual. A man of
