FARM NOTES.
—The cow pea is well know in the South,
and has been grown so long that it is al-
most a surprise to the Southern farmer that
it is now receiving so much attention in
other portions of the country, not that the
cow pea is unworthy of the consideration
bestowed upon it, but because its useful-
ness has not long ago carried it into every
county in the United States where corn can
be grown, as it will flourish in any climate
where corn can Jabale; in fact, asa giesn
manurial crop it can be grown even where
corn will To. prove profitable. Although
known as the cow ‘‘pea’’ it is really a bean,
and there are so many varieties as to ren-
der classification difficult. The cow pea is
a wholesome food for man and beast, and
is as nourishing as the ordinary white navy
bean. Owing to the fact that when it is
cooked it darkens the pots and kettles,
while the liquid is almost black, it is un-
popular with those who test it ; but in the
South, where it is a staple article of food,
-the white variety having a black eve is the
kind used on the table. The white variety
is perhaps not so well adapted for green
manurial purposes as the black pea, but it
thrives on all soils and is sure to produce a
crop, even under adverse conditions. The
cow pea is picked for the table when the
pods are yellow. At this stage the seeds
are soft and on the table are highly relish-
ed. Later, when the pods are dry, they
are picked, shelled and the dry seed stored
away for use in winter. The pods are not
used on the table. On good land a yield
of from 15 to 25 bushels may be expected,
but to harvest the crop in order to save the
seed is considered laborious, as considerable
hand work is required.
The cow pea, like clover, belongs to the
family of legumes, or nitrogen gatherers,
and as it will grow on soils that will not
produce clover it is sometimes known as
‘‘poor man’s clover.”” In the South it is
believed that the cow pea will grow where
no other plant will thrive ; hence it is not
uncommon, when describing the poverty
of a piece of land, to assert that it ‘‘will
not even grow cow peas,’”’ and to ascribe
such to the plot means that land must be
extremely low in fertility if the cow pea
cannot be produced upon it. This char-
acteristic of the cow pea—that it will grow
on poor soils—is one of its strongest recom-
mendations, for with its aid poor land can
be restored to fertility. This is the month
for planting or sowing the seed, -and as it
makes rapid growth after it starts it is nev-
er caught by frost unless planted quite late
in the season. It will thrive either in rows,
and cultivated, or may be broadcasted. As
it is capable of deriving its nitrogen from
the atmosphere through the agency of its
particular micro-organisms (as is the case
with clover) it requires little or no fertilizer
of a nitrogenous nature, though a very
small quantity of nitrate of soda, about 25
to 50 pounds per acre, will influence its
growth in its early stages.
—For plants that have turned somewhat
yellow use a teaspoonful of nitrate of soda
in a quart of water. All plants respond
quickly to fertilizer, provided the plant
food is given in solution and is not too
strong. Treating plants in the field cannot
be done in such manner, but there are many
house plants that die because of lack of
some. element in the soil which should be
supplied. If the proper kind of fertilizer
to use is not known then some brand of
complete fertilizer containing a high per-
centage of nitrogen should be preferred.
Nitrogen in the form of nitrate of soda will
give a green color to leaves when all other
plant foods fail, and as nitrate of soda will
dissolve in water it may be used in the wa-
ter given the plants, not exceeding a tea-
spoonful of nitrate to one quart of water.
—During the cool nights the cutworms
are at work cutting down the newly trans-
planted cabbage, tomato and other plants.
The cutworm eats only at night, going in-
to the ground just before day, usually at
the root of the plant that it has cut down.
By going over the garden and digging for
the worm wherever a plant has been cut it
can be found and destroyed. It will hard-
ly be possible to go over a field every morn-
ing, but they can be materially reduced in
a garden by destroying them at the places
of their depredations.
—The pea weevil has been a-pest for
years, and it is difficult to secure seed per-
fectly free from the pests. An excellent
plan is to pour the seed into a vessel con-
taining brine. The infested peas, being
lighter than the others, will float, when
they may be skimmed off and consigned
to the flames or fed to poultry. The sound
seed should then be rinsed with clear wa-
ter to remove the salt, spreading on mats
or boards to dry.
—Orchards that are kept to advantage
receive attention at all seasons. "It is the
custom with experienced fruit growers to
sow the orchard land to rye in August and
turn the growing rye under before the
stalks become hard. Lime is then broad-
casted over the plowed ground. Some
growers use crimson clover as a winter
cover crop. The point to observe is to sow
the clover seed early, not: later than the
middle of August. t
—If sown without delay, millet and Hun-
garian grass may be made. to produce ex-
cellent crops of hay ; but the land should
be well manured and worked fine with a
harrow. Both of these crops will grow on
almost any kind of soil, but the richer the
soil the hetter, if large crops are expected.
use plenty of seed, as birds are very par-
tial to such food.
—Young fruit trees that were set ont
last fall or spring will be benefited if the
soil about them is kept clean and mellow,
as a hard crust on the surface of the ground
is not conducive to the admission of air
and warmth to the roots. Keep a space of
at least three feet on all sides of the tree
loose by stirring the soil after each rain
until fall. :
—For destroying lice in poultry houses
the kerosene emulsion is sometimes used,
but it gives better results when a table-
soonful of crude carholic acid per gallon is
used at the time of ‘making the emulsion,
which may then be diluted with ten gal-
lons of water to each gallon of the emul-
sion.
~—A sheep of the mutton breeds is worth’
more now than both a sheep and its wool
twenty years ago. Farmers saw nothing
in sheep but wool ; hence the sheep sent to
market were very inferior. Now the choice
carcasses sent to market weigh heavily and
give good profits independently of wool.
- —Wood ashes give the best results on
pasture land, orchards, small froits and on
clover. - To purchase wood ashes is a risk,
as it is difficult to procure two lots alike
in composition, oh exposure to rains
may cause loss of potash by leaching.
The clever girl can utilize these days in
making up some stock collars for summer
wear. White pique launders well; but,
on the other hand, it is deadly unbecom-
ing to any woman who is not in her first
youth. Wash silk stocks will be used in
hot weather. They are extremely smart
and launder well. The white wash silk is
apt to yellow slightly, so it is as well to
choose a white and colored stripe for this
purpose, and to let the bar of color come
up on the edge of the stock arrangement.
3
The tried-and-found-true designs in shirt
waists seem to be receiving the greatest
share of favor. One that is always welcome
has a sailor collar with the regulation tie
knotted beneath it, and a lace collar and
chemisette,and the collar, to be very smart,
has a broad band of hemstitched satin or
silk to border it or isinsertioned with lace.
This is the ideal pattern for girls to choose
when they are in doubt as to how to make
up lengths of spotted satin or self-colored
silks, but the hint should be held in re-
membrance that the border of the collar
ought to be of a contrasting fabric, so that
a spotted border will go on a plain shirt,
and vice versa.
Very slender figures are becoming in
sailor “‘jumpers,’’ whereas those of more
solid build are safer in a choice that gives
them flopping collar revers—to give them
their correct name, waterfalls. A singular
perversity often overtakes the woman who
has grown robust, which urges her to choose
plainly devised blouses, mounted on fitted
foundations, and guiltless of any softening
draperies or insertions. This is the very
greatest mistake. She probably also wears
tight bodices without any basque, the
model above all others most totally un-
becoming. Colors, too, she often errs over,
deeming black her only safety, and all the
rest equally risky. Yet, for her, there is
virtue usually in the fawns and mastics for
day wear, and in primrose yellow for even-
ing frocks, while upon the grays one
she should turn a blind eye.
Now that blue, pale blue and grayish
blue have been monopolized as the uniform
dress of the trained nurse and child’s nurse
a readjustment of ‘‘color values’’ has be-
come necessary itr the household. Black
alpaca was for a long time the uniform
dress of the parlormaid, completed, of
course, with white apron, white shoulder
straps and the coquettish white cap. The
black alpaca is now the conventional garb
of the shop attendant, and very suitable
it is.
A great many women lately have put
their waitresses in light colored wash
dresses, not only in summer, but all the
year round. It looks fresh and dainty,
they think, to have the front door opened
by a maid neatly gowned in starched pale
colored muslin. Sore women make their
waitress wear white muslin, bat several
Philadelphians have lately resolved to put
their waitressesin pink. They make a pres-
ent to the maid of three fresh pink and
white cotton gowns, with the concomitant
aprons and caps. They expect her to look
fresh and neat as she attends the door. It
is not quite so easy to keep a pink frock
fresh, as if it were a darker color, but it
does not show every spot or every little
dust as black does and it is easily launder-
ed if not put in the sunshine to dry.
If the maid be young and blooming, and
an effort is made to secure such servitors
for opening the front door, the chances are
the pink gown will prove immensely be-
coming. :
If a few (drops of ammonia are added to
the bluing water, the clothes are likely to
improve in whiteness. Another laundry
hint, worthy, of notice, is that a wine stain
may be removed by sprinkling salt upon
it, then pouring hot water through it until
it is gone. Alcohol will often cause fruit
stains to disappear. Hot water in which
soda has been dissolved is very good for
taking out fresh fruit stains from linen.
When the stains are old and obstinate, hold
the stained article over a basin of boiling
water 80 that the steam will pass through
it and then rub salts of lemon upon the
stains until they are removed. -
Tea stains are often difficult to
to remove. It is a good idea to soak them
as soon as possible 1n either warm water or
milk, rubbing them ont with soap after-
ward. A solution of sugar and water is
excellent for soaking out tea stains, ae-
complishing its work in a very short time.
Boiling water poured through the stain is
sometimes all that is necessary.
Often, in removing stains, the agent is
such a commonplace, ready-at-hand sort of
thing that it seems too simple. Take the
instance of an ink stain on white linen.
If there is a ripe tomatoin the house it
will accomplish the work with the aid of
clear water. Squeeze the tomato juice on
the spot, working it well in. Pour the
water through the fabric, and continue
with more tomato juice and more water
until the stain is visible no longer. About
the surest and best way to get rid of black
ink on white goods is to apply water and
powdered salts of lemon. Leave the article
thus treated for a few minutes and the
stain will betake itself away. Finish by
washing with soap and rinsing in clear wa-
ter. :
Wide sashes of the same material are the
latest notion shown on the ready-made
wash suite. The newest gowns show a
marked disposition to cling to elaborate
blouse effects rather than bolero or separate
waists. Sleeves vary much in cut, but for
the most part are tight to the elbow, where
they develop balloon tendencies, and ex-
tend to the wrist in innumerable varieties
of shapes. .
Ice cream croquettes have no kinship be-
yond name and general appearance with
the product of the chopping howl and ket.
tle of smoking fat. They are ice cream of
any’ desired flavor packed in croquette-
shaped molds. Have ready some browned
and finely chopped almonds or powdered
macaroons in which to roll the molds of
cream quickly before sending to the table
with a claret sauce. fi
Collarless gowns are predicted for sam-
mer wear. There will be no collars to the
dresses very shortly or, at least, to a great
many of them. The low-neck will be
warmly welcomed by the average woman,
especially when genuine summer heat ar.
rives. All dresses will not be low-necked-
simply the very thin fabrics and sailor-
collar designs of many waists and waist
and skirt wash frocks. There will be,
however, an absence of apparent decollete
forms which were previously used with
such bad taste for street attire. It will be
fichns and berthas and sailor collars, and
not collarlessshirts or evening-hodice street
gowns. It is a natural adjunct of the short-
sleeve episode and can be traced to the
Eugenie forms, which are quite strongly
advocated at present.

White Wax.
The white wax exported from China is
made by the curious method of using in-
sects in its production- These insects are
found in brown pea shaped excrescences
or galls attached to an evergreen tree called
the ‘‘ insect tree.”” The galls are gathered
in May and carried in headlong flight to
the market towns by bearers, who travel
at night so that the heat may not force the
insects to emerge during the journey.
They are then placed on the ‘‘wax tree’
which is a stamp varying from 3 to 12 feet |
in height, with numerous branches rising
from the top, similar to the pollard wil-
low.
The wax insects are made into small
packets of 20 or 30 galls, which are in-
closed in a leaf of the wood oil tree, fast-
ened together with rice straw. These
packets are suspended close to the branch-
es under which they hang. On emerging
from the galls the insects creep rapidly up
the branches, to which they attach them-
selves and begin forming a coating of. wax
that in about three months attains a thick-
ness of almost a quarter of an inch.
The branches are then cut off, and after
removing as much of the wax as possible
by hand they are put ina kettle of hot
water, when the remaining wax floats on
the surface and the insects finish their term
of usefulness by going to the bottom.
