PESTS DAMAGE TRUCK CROPS
Spray Made Of Arsenic of Soda

Efficacious in Wisconsin,.

Kill the adult fly that lays the eggs
and do away With the possibility OF
having maggots damage your onion and
cabbage crops.
TO control these pests use this spray
which was tried last summer with sue
cess in many cabbage and onion fields:
Dissolve five grams (one-siXth of an
aCunce) Of arsenite of soda in one gal
Ion of hot water, add one-half pint Of
black molasses and stir thoroughly.
Apply to the plants in coarse drops,
using s~rinkler or whisk broom. In
fair weather, one application a week
is sufficient, but, in rainy weather
twice weekly is better.
Begin to use the mixtures when the
plants first appear above ground, anC
In the case of cabbage, continue regu-
larly for roonth or SO after the
ElantS have been set out in the field.

Do You Neglect
Your Machinery ?

The machinery Of the body needs to
be we'll oiled, kept in good condition
just as the automobile, steam engine or
bicycle. Why should the human neglect
his own machinery more than that of
his horse or his engine? Yet most peO-
pie do neglect themselves. TO clean
the system at least once week Is to
practice preventive measures. You Will
escape many ills and clear up the coat
ed tongue, the sallOw complexion, the
dull headache, the lazy liver, If you will
take a pleasant laxative made up OF
the May-apple, juice of the leaves of
aloes, root of jalaD, and called Pleasant
Pellets. You can obtain ut almost any
drug store in this country these vege-
table pellets in walls for 25c-simply

over and when there is generally dry
spell. Finally, cowpeas combine in
themselves not only hay crop but
grain crop as well.
All these important advantages has
the pea over the clover; and against
them I can only think of the points
that the pea-vines require a longer
time to cure, depending on the rank
ness of the vines, and are a little
harder to handle with the fork than
clover.
On my fruit farm peas have entire
~ displaced clover because their sea-
son is so much shorter. With the in
tensive system of fruit-growing I cam
not afford to give the land to clover
for it's long season Of growth. At the
same time-and I should have men
I believe that a heavy crop Of clover is
superior as q fertilizer to a crop of
peas.
Before cowpeas were introduced
there was no fertilizing crop with
which to follow early potatoes and
strawberries. In southern Missouri, on
a low sandy soil, they will mature if
be turned in time for the sowing Of the
fall wheat.
Further north in the latitude Of st.
Louis, they cannot be depended on to
do this but they will make growth
enough to be Of great value to turn
under.
They should not be sown until the
ground is thoroughly warm and no
more cold weather is to be feared, and
not later than the first Of July.
The Whippoorwill variety is the
most generally planted when the seed
is wanted, and the Clay for vine. 1
have noticed that late-sown peas al
ways make the best and the most seed,
for the reason that they do not make
so much vine.
Simply as q money crop and with
out reference to their fertilizing value,
cowpeas rank among the most profit
able of crops and it is rather surpris-
ing that farmers are not more alive to
this point. Regular pea hullers have
been of very slow introduction in this
part of the country.
Peas are still hulled in wheat
threshers and in consequence are bad
ly split and shattered.
They will yield ten and fifteen BUSH
els to the acre in favorable conditions.
Hulling, instead of damaging their
value, actually seems to increase it,
for it breaks up the coarse stems and
shreds them into soft mass that is
eaten up clean by the stock.
Unhulled pea hay makes a forage
that is unsurpassed and calls for lit
tie or no grain to supplement it when
the teams are idle.
It is q fine ration for the milk COW
and in fact is relished by all kinds
of stock though sometimes a few days
are required for them to get accus-
toned to it.

Glover 49, Natures Quicker and
Combines Not Only Hay Crop,
But Grain as Well.
(By L. r. JOHNSON.)

(By L. X. JOHNSON.)
Farmers who have never tested the
COW or stock pea should by all means
try a crop of that legume this spring.
Originally grown only II the South, it
has spread northward and become a
valued crop throughout the central
states.
Belonging to the same family as red
clover, it is natural to compare the
qualities of the two, although in many
respects they are entirely unlike.
Clover requires two years for ma
turity, cowpeas only three months. A
stand of the clover is by no means
certain and in some sections has be-
come so precarious that farmers are
casting around for some other fertiliz-
ing crop to replace it.
Again, clover harvest comes in June
when showers are naturally frequent
and when the farmer is busy with the
corn and with other work on the 9th

September when the rush of work is

I know dairymen who do not feed
shippers or dry COWS any grain food

This may be cheap way of roughing

wonderfully and in connection with
good ensilage and clover hay will main

cattle. We have often changed from
clover to timothy hay and invariably
the yield Of milk would fall off.
Well-cured clover hay comes nearer
to being a balanced ration than any
other crop we grow on our farms. If
the cow could hold enough clover hay
we would not need to feed anything
else, but she likes variety, and does
decidedly better when fed ensilage
with her clover hay. Corn ensilage
adds palatibility and succulence to the
ration and makes it easier to masti-
cate and digest than dry fodder.
The silo is also q great saver Of
