CANADA FIELD PEAS.
StorivK the Croi>—' Thrashing With
Single Concave Machine.
After cutting Canada field peas with
scythe or pea harvester it Is usual t>>
turn the bundles over once to facili
tate drying while they lie on tin- (
ground. They require hand loading. (
The crop may bo stored under cover ,
or put Into stacks, as with other grain, j
but it should bo borne In mind that
peas when in the stack do not readily
shed rain, and therefore the stacks
should be carefully topped out with
some substance such as bluegrass or
native prairie hay. When the thrashed
straw Is preserved in stacks the same
precaution is necessary.
When only a small quantity is grown
annually, and this with a view to pro
vide seed for pasture soiling or fodder
uses, there Is no better way of thrash
ing the i>eas than by using a flail or
b"y treading them out with horses. The
mMMJ)
" • m m m m //

[Single bar concave with four teeth.]
seed is not then broken. Where a
large acreage is grown it Is necessary
to thrash peas with a thrashing ma
chine, and the best work Is done by
using the "bar concave," as showu In
the figure.
From this concave all the teeth
should be removed except four. TJie.se
hold the straw in cli'-ck long euough
to enable the cylinder teeth to beat out
all the pea*. The machine should not
run at a high rate of speed. More or
less of the seed is likely to be broken.
The broken grains however, may be
nearly all removed when preparing the
crop for seed or for market by" using
fanning mills suitably equipped With
sieves. When the crop is wanted for
feeding uses the breaking of the peas
does not. of course, lessen its value. —
Thomas Shaw.
Fit the Seed Bed Earlr.
All things do not come to him who
waits. Luck does not come to the
wheat grower who, because a severe
drought occurs in August or early in
September, waits and waits for rain
before fitting the soil for the reception
of seed. Better luck attends the wheat
grower who, despite the drought, uo
matter how 'severe, fits his wheat land
early and keeps a dust mulch two or
three Inches in depth upon the surface.
The blanket of loose top sod formed
by the frequent cultivation of the soil
protects and holds the moisture be
neath and saves it for the crop to be
raised. A soil so fined and fitted al
ways ha 6 sufficient moisture to proper
ly sprout the grains of wheat or grass
seeds, so that n good and even stand
Invariably results, even if no rains oc
cur immediately after seeding. The
longer the period between the thorough
preparation of the soil and the time of
seeding the better will be the condi
tion of the seed bod. This careful
preparation, of the soil is especially de
sirable if grass seed Is to be sown In
stead of grain, concludes a writer in
Fann and Fireside.
I'nfavornhle For Alfalfa.
An excess of water in the soil Is a
very unfavorable condition for alfalfa.
Where the water. level Is near the
surface or where the surface water
from heavy rains is unable to drain
off rapidly alfalfa usually falls. For
this reason an alfalfa field is Injured
by being submerged from an overflow,
or even killed if the water remaius
over the -surface for too long a period.
Experience has shown that/ when cov
ered by clear running water the in-
Jury is much less than when a sedi
ment Is deposited or the water Is stag
nant. Ordinarily alfalfa will not with
stand an overflow of more than a few
days. Flooding in the winter Is less In
jurious than during the growing sea
son. On Irrigated fields injury often
follows from the accumulation of wa
ter in depressions after a flooding.
The alfalfa is killed out in these spots
and noxious weeds gain a foothold.
Devices of Oregon Floclc Manteri.
Oregon flock masters often have in
genious devices In dealing with ewes
and lambs when the former reject their
offspring, says H. E. White in Ohio
Farmer. If there Is much shelter to
be had at the camp, small movable
pens Just large enough to hold a sheep
and lamb are made. Into one of these
a ewe and her lamb are placed for a
few hours, after which she is released
and is likely to be entirely subdued
and no longer scorns her little one. A
still more remarkable contrivance is a
large rubber sack covered with nip
ples. This is filled with fresh cow's
milk and a small circle of motherless
lambs get around to get their fill, no
doubt thinking it as good as the old
sheep.
Bnttcr Maklnar Extraordinary.
A correspondent's letter to Itural
New Yorker gives the details of a
•new" method of churning, wherein a
truly remarkable churn turns one
quart of ordinary bottled milk re-en
forced with two pounds of ordinary
creamery print butter (softened up a
little with heat), plus extract of car
rots and a little "vaporized salt," Into
"four pounds of flue sweet butter."
This recalls that time honored wrinkle
which crops up cheerfully every few
years—the use of pepsin in churning—
whereby a goodly quantity of cheese Is

THE ONION CROP.
Onions Dninc Fairly Well In Com
mercial Districts.
The new onion croj) In the commer
cial growing districts of the United
States for the most part is progressing
satisfactorily. It is evident that condi
tions east-ward, including New York
and New England, are averaging rela
tively better than in the central west
ern states of Michigan, Wisconsin, In
diana aud Illinois, in the latter sec
tions rainfall has proved too abundant
this season, and many correspondents
of American Agriculturist say that se
rious damage has been occasioned on
account of a portion of the crop being
washed out. This has necessitated con
siderable reseedlng In some sections.
This is noted particularly hi onion
growing districts of Indiana.
While giving full weight to damage
sustained through excessive moisture,
allowance should be made for the sub
stantial increase in acreage in mjiny
parts of the west as compared with
last year's plantings. In parts of
Michigan the season has proved so wet
that a full acreage could not be put
out, and in those sections we find an
exception to the general expansion.
The Ohio Onion Fields.
The Ohio onion fields have also suf
fered somewhat ffom the wet season,
yet Hardin county growers say with
good weather the outlook is fairly
good. Heports from other parts of the
Buckeye State are somewhat irregular,
yet many claim the crop as a whole is
promising. In Wayne county low tracts
are said to be In worse shape than a
year ago. but our correspondents say
better weather might change the situa
tion entirely. in Clark county the
plants are healthy and very promis
j lug. Weeds are abundant in Erie and

BINDER TWINE.
The Working of K»n«a» and Minne
sota Prison Plants.
The real facts In the case regarding
the penitentiary twine plants are that
they are extremely practical, and even
make money for the state, while un
derselling the trust from one to two
cents p£r pound. Warden Jewett of
the Kansas penitentiary says:
'•The working of the twine plant here
is successful. In every way. aud It is a
benefit in every way. The net profits
to the state from the Kansas peniten
tiary twine plant have been up to
June, IBOi, $68,197.49. Aside from this
it has kept the price down for farmers.
The year before the plant was estab
lished here twine sold for 14 cents.
Last year It was sold to farmers for
8V» cents in prdera of more than 5,000
pounds, and 0 cents In smaller orders.
This was two cents below the trust
price."
Tlie same story from the Still
water prison twine plant of Minneso
ta. The plant manufactures approxi
mately 2,000,000 pounds of twine an
nually, which U sold from one to three
cents below the trust prices now. And
before the establishment of the plant
the trust prices were from two to tliree
cents higher than at present. The easy
deduction of the decrease In expense
to the farmers of the state Is made
when It Is known that the original In
vestment was only $178,000. It is readi
ly computed that the farmers of Min
nesota save each year the entire cost
of the plant, so that if It were a losing
venture for the state It would pay be
cause it saves the farmers, who com
pose the state, much more than the
amount of the investment. But It does
pay, and has earned a revolving fund
of SOOO,OOO. Recent legislation, how
ever, has limited the profit on twine to
1 cent a pound, which, while de
creasing the earning to. some extent,
will save the men who have to use
twine that much, and consequently re
duce the trust's price alio.— Faisaa

Plant Lice on Brussels Sprouts.
Plant lice Is the curse of the more
delicate members of the cabbage fam
ily, and Brussels sprouts are often
badly Infested with them. The crop
needs close watching, says T. Orelner
In Farm and Fireside. If you hav« a
good knapsack, s»pr«j«r (m any gar
dener should) the task Is comparative
ly simple. Make a strong tobacco tea
or a kerosene emulsion, or take plain
hot water or soapsuds at a tempera
ture of about 100 degrees, and spray it
with considerable force on the. plants,
holding the noztle rather ch»s/} to the
stalks so that the force Of the apsay
leaches all the tiny heads. I a
nozzle that is bent at about a right
angle to the main direction, so that I
can reach underneath the leaves and
spray upward or in any direction I
please.

DOGS AND DEER.
A Mad Fllsbt For Life In the Wllta
of Siberia.
The strength of heredity both in wild
and in domesticated animals is brought
into clear light by an incident related
in a book, "In Search of a Siberian
Klondike." The authors of the book
were traveling by dog team through
the wilds of Siberia.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the dogs
suddenly broke into a swift run, aud
we knew they had scented something
that interested theui. We soon per
ceived that we had struck a deer trail
and that we were nearing an encamp
ment. We turned a bend in the road,
aud there a hundred yards ahead of us
we saw the cause of the dogs' excite
ment.
A team of reindeer were running for
their lives. Their Tungus driver was
lashing iheni with the whip and was
urging them with all his might, for he
knew as well as we that if our dogs
overtook them before the camp was
reached we seven men would be utter
ly powerless to prevent the dogs from
tearing the deer to pieces. Our driver
put on the brake with all his might,
but it had not the least effect. The
fourteen dogs had become wolves in
the turn of a hand, and no brake could
stop them. There were many stumps
and other obstructions along our way,
aiffl my driver had great difficulty In
preventing a smashup.
For a short time the deer held their
own and, In fact, gained on us, but
before the yurta (village) came In sight
we were gaining rapidly. While wo
were still nt some distance the people
of the village, warned by the cries of
the dogs, comprehended what was tl«e
matter and, arming themselves with
sticks and spears, came running to
ward us. As they came on they spread
out in a fanlike formation across the
trail. When the terrified <lcer reached
the lino the inen spread out and let the
team through and Instantly closed
again to dispute the passage ef our
dogs.
Our driver was nowise minded to let
the natives club his dogs aaid perhaps
injure the valuable animals, so he re
sorted to the last expedient. (living a
shout of warning to me, he suddenly
by a deft motion turned otir sledge
completely over, landing me in a snow
drift on my head. In this position the
sledge was all brake, and the dogs were
forced to stop. They were leaping in
their harness and yelling like fiends
incarnate.
I sat up In the mow bank and laugh
ed. The other drivers had followed our
example, and the struggling tangle of
sledges, harness, dogs and men formed
a scene that, to the novice at least, was
highly ludicrous. The drivers and the
village people were belaboring the dogs,
and the entire herd of reindeer belong
ing to the vlllago was escaping in ail
directions up the hills.
The reader may well ask how the na
tives can use both dogs and reindeer if
the sight of a deer has such a madden
ing effect on the dogs. The explana
tion is simple. The two never go to
gether. There Is the dog country and
the deer country, but they do not over
lap. Confusion is often unavoidably
caused by traveling with dogs through
a deer country, but the natives do not
take it in ill part, knowing that If they
themselves have to travel Willi deer
through a dog cOTintry they will cause
quite as much Inconvenience.

Nerve Pills.
The uian who hesitates, whose eye is
'.all. whose step is slow, whose mind is
•luggish. whose hands tremble, is not
the man whom an employer seeks. It
is the bright man, the man with a clear
eye and brain, the active man, fall of
energy, life and vigor, whose very man
tier and presence breeds success that is
ought for and snapped up as soon as
seen, and it seems almost pitifnl that
the first class, victims of excess of some |
sort, should exist, when it needs bnt a
thorough course of Dr A. W. Chase's
Nerve Pills to round them into the old
time manly vigor again.
Mr. Fred Hoyt of No 724 Oth Ave.,
New Brighton, Pa., says:
' I used to have a band so steady I
conld write the Lord's prayer on a twen- .
five cent piece—then as a result of
overwork and overstrain my eyes gave
out, my hands and nerves generally be
came tremblv. I was restless and could
not sleep. I certainly was in bad shape
and lost my ability to write—could just
scrawl. 1 heard of Dr. A. W. Chase's
Nerve Pills and got some and they took
hold immediately. I began to sleep—
gain strength—my nerves grew steady—
and mv eyesight improved greatly. To
day I feel finely and can again write as
well as ever. aDd that means a very
