When peas arc harvested by swine they are not usually turned tin to the crop until the peas are ripe, but some times they nro put In a little sooner. This can only bo done where rain sel dom falls after the peas are ripe; oth erwise the rain would sprout the peas and would therefore lessen their value for feeding. This Is a very easy way of harvesting peas, but It means the loss of the vines for feeding uses. When peas are harvested by sheep and Iambs this also can only be done where rain seldom falls after the peas are ripe and until they are consumed. The sheep consume much of the straw as well as the grain. A field thus har Tested looks much like a bare fallow, 80 fully is the crop consumed. The peas that may shatter can be gathered tip later by swine. On the plateaus of the Rocky mountains sheep are fre quently thus fattened. Orange Judd Farmer. f sj." Farm Wisdom. Filthy stables make bad air, and bad air often makes sick stock. Tractlcally 000,000 acres of alfalfa are grown in Kansas yearly. Cowpeas or rape In the corn at the last plowing is worth trying. Whitewash may be put on with a spray pump if It Is frerfrotn lumps. Breeding stock Is thivirst requisite In any successful line of stock raising. Low yields Invariably follow Inju dicious cropping and improper culti vation. The man who goes Into the sheep business gradually has a reasonable assurance of success. The alfalfa experience that you read Is good. That which you actually work out is far better. There will always be a demand for wool, and that's one reason why sheep will always be profitable. Kimball's Dairy Farmer. Judging Dairy Cattle. The appointment of men who breed one kind of cattle to judge at the fairs another kind is not a healthy practice. The breeds all differ In certain pecul iarities. Suppose a breeder of Ayr shlrcs is appointed to judge Jerseys. Such a Judge will be almost sure to discount Jerseys with the back much swayed, as the Ayrshires have straight backs. On the other hand, suppose a breeder of Jerseys is asked to judge Ayrshires. lie is not Inclined to dis count tlie swayback in the Ayrshire as the true breeder of Ayrshires would discount the same. It is different with the men who teach at the agricul tural colleges. It is their duty to study all the pedigreed breeds. Professor Thomas Shaw, f. Horse Notes. Lack of exercise or overwork or aching muscles will cause a horse to paw in the stable. If a horse is not used regularly turn him loose in the paddock for a part of each day. Give the tired and hardworking horse a roomy box stall and a good deep bed of dry straw to rest In. During the hot months a small lot near the stables with a good, smooth, firm sod where the work horses can be turned loose for the night after the evening meal and grooming is ideal and will prolong their usefulness. Farm Journal. Portable Sheep Fold. The best protection of sheep against dogs Is a woven wire fence about seven feet high that can bo renrflly set up Into a pen where the sheep should bo Inclosed at night and can bo easily moved from one spot to another before the ground gets foul. It may be set In the poorest part of t field, which the sheep will abundantly fertilize, but it is important that the sheep should be shut into it as late as possible in the evening and be let out very early next morning, as they like to feed late and early. To Keep Flies From Horses. Take two or three small handfuls of green walnut leaves, upon which pour two or three quarts of soft, cold wa ter. Let it stand one night and pour the whole next morning into a kettle and let it boll for fifteen minutes. When cold it will be fit for use. No more Is required than to wet a sponge, and before a horse goes out of the stable let those parts which are most Irritated be smeared over with the liquid. American Cultivator. I i Use of Manure. The Maryland experimental station shows by repeated tests that fresh manuro spread In winter did not give as much increase as the same amount rotted and plowed down In the spring. Turning the manure while rotting was better than leaving it without being turned. Commercial fertilisers plow ed under in the spring Invariably gave larger yields than when sowed on the urface just before planting. Pea and Oat Fodder. When peas and oats are grown to gether for fodder they are usually cut with the binder, but may also be cut with tho mower. The crop should be cut a little underripe, except when it Is to bo thrashed. When cut with the mower It la usually cured in the wind row or cock after It has become dry enough to rake. Change the Sheep Pasture. It is not a good plan to keep sheep on the same pasture continuously for more than two or thrco years, says Farm Journal. To do this Incurs tho danger of stomach worms. It Is best to shUt tho snoop about from ono field to another every few years. HOME DRESSMAKING By Charlotte Marti. GIltL'S JUMPER DRESS. Pattern No. 532.
