Saving Peavine Hay Out-ofDoors.
Progressive Farmer.
There has been a number ol
excellent methods of saving pea
viue hay giveu by your correspondents,
but iu most cases
they, to use a congressional
term, have had ''riders" that
rendered them impractical foi
immediate use by the average
farmer.
Now, using a tedder and storing
in barns is fine, 1 imagine, but I
never saw a tedder save in the
Fair grounds, and but few farmers
in my section have barnroom
enough to stow more thar
half a ton ot hay at the time
Now what the average farmei
wants at the present hour is the
best method by which the mosi
hay in excellent condition cai
bo saved out of doors in shortesi
time, at least expense and labor,
So 1 will give the manner ir
which L have saved from 15 tc
20 acres ot peavine hay yearly
for ten years, and without th<
loss of a single stack when properly
put up.
Cut in the morning and rakt
and stack in the evening of the
next day (it it rains wait till il
dries?peavines ar^ as good na.v
after a week's raiu on them at
much of the in-shipped article)
If the crop is heavy, rake directly
to the stack ; it light, windrow
and then rake to stack; nevei
use a cart or wagon for this,
it's too much labor). Pile hay
"round pole two feet, deep?after
being gently packed down wit!
fork (never get ou stack at any
time), then nail on two crossarms,
then pile on to six or
seven feet ami put on two more
cross-arms. Then build up till
you can just stand on ratte
wheel and top off nicely with
lork. Have a forklul ct grass tc
top off with.
Make stack to contain six 01
seven hundred pounds of curei
hay. This size stack is more
uvswjjuiuivscu HI liuopiu;; aiiu naiiu
ling than either the liirger 01
smaller style as suggested by
some, for they cure out better
than the larger, and the weatherwaste
is less than the smallei
ones. Then they contain just f
nice wagon load, and. as a general
thing in the busy season, a
farmer has just only time at one*
to letch in that much.

Weight of Peas in the Pod
Progressive Farmer
The question of how manj
cowpeas 100 pounds of peas in
the pod will hull has come up 11
recent issues of The Progressive
Farmer.
While with the Arkansas Experiment
Station. 1 made in
1902 very nearly a hundred test*
covering this point and found
that 100 pounds of dry podhulled
irom 55,3 to 77.5 pouodof
peas. Ninety-six tests of about
forty varieties gave an average
of about 66.0 pounds trom peat
testing about 58 pounds to the
bushel. The lightest bushel
weight was Clay Crowder, test
ing 53 pounds, and the heaviest
was 62 pounds to the bushel
given by lied Whippoorwill and
one strain of Black Ey .
The weights ol peas in 10 i
pounds of pods varied on different
classes of soil, the weight
was higher from peas planted in
rows and cultivated, those of a
given variety ripening earis
shelled more than those ripemnp
late, and peas planted eirly
shelled more than those ripening
late, and peas planted before J urn
15th usually gave a higher proportion
of peas than those planted
after the middle or June.
The use of phosphoric acii
THE LANC
under peas increased the propor
tiou of peas iu a given weight c
pods. Saving seed from onl
! well-filled pods from well deyel
oped plants gave 68 pounds c
peas to the 100 pounds pods r
compared with 57 pouuds froi
seed not selected.

place them in an out-house that

close in daytime, and open ami
