2 Agricultural ^ Department Two Ways to Cure Pea Hay. I will give my experience ic curiug pea vine hay in full, tr make the best hay in cloud) and rainy wea'her. MY BEST PLAN. I would want the peas auc vines only just turning. Aftei dew is off cut in the morning wind-row, then put in cocks Nextjput up as many stackpolei as you have loads.Havo'he pole; say, eight feet high ; put thre< pieces four feet long to the stack pole, letting one end of each res on the ground. Nail the othe end to the stack pole eighteei inches above the ground. Nai the three pieces so as to form i 3-legged stool and let the stact pole down to the ground. Thei put on pea vines about two fee deep, then put on throe raor< piecos long euough to reach oye the rest on the ground. Nai the other end of each to tli< stack pole, on top of pea vine two feet deep again, next mor slats This time only about threi feet high. Then two feet deej of vines again, the next slati about two feet long. Then caj off just like you would a fodde; stack. Let the vines remain ii the stacks until cured. MY SECOND BEST PLAN. In my second best plan I hav< 1- t?e?. l l tl i<iU* iuh^ itrov A^l,B ni111 tun* j feet wide, covered with boards The wall of the rack is twelvt feet high. I made a foundatior for the rack in the center, o pine poles. The rack poles ar< about four inches through, plac< ed about ten inches apart, anc fastened at both ends. I'lie wall; are left open until the hay i: cured. This gives it all Ih ai; it needs. 1IANDI.K AS LITTI.K AS I'OSSIIU.K With either of these plans o curing pea vine hay, 1 have ne ver lost any My experience is the more you handle pea vim hay, the less value it is. Tin least handling, the most valm von receive When put in rack like 1 have described, one hand ling ans7.0is for all. 1 hav< learned to handle hut very little It not only saves time(anl tim< is our money), but it enhances the value of the hay lo handle it only oue time if p ?s-it>ie. know that by these plans pe? viue hv can be sa^ed even 11 bad clou iy ana rainy weather Hut understand, the hay will noi be as bright as that Hired it good weather.

The fall and winter supply of vege. 1 tables will depend on your ac- 1 tivity this month. The land < ) should be thoroughly cleaned of ^ , grass and growl h of former cropB, manured heavy, then broken voi deep. Now is the time for deep . plowing and specially a ill it pay ^ * for the root crops. Here is a * I r " UUI list of some of the things that mQ * can be planted to advantage I now* yot Turnips, beets, salsify, pare- ^ej 9 nips, carrots, spinach, kale, let9 luce and beans. Then yon should ^ k transplant cabbage, collards and * tomatoes. Fall Irish potatoes ^ r can also be planted now. So | you see there is plenty to do for j ^ the gardener and tructer. The high price of meat should give jjo an added stimulus to fall gard ?? 1 tl eners. Many of the vegetables enumerated above are entirely _ 9 llOl new to miny of our readers. We ^ j have not learned either to grow or eat them. It is time for us ^ to learn more about these nutri9 tious and healthful vegetables, ^ ? and to acquire a iaste for them, 0 if necessary. The weather is 5 hot and the inclination is to neg- yc lect all jobs that can be put off. ^ } But without making life too ., r * wii strenuous plan well, and prepare ^rQ 1 now for a good fall garden.?
