Sowing Outs with Pea*
Some formers who broadcasted
cow peas this season sowed oats with
the peas. As the cow pea ls really a
bean and Supports are not required,
the oats aro Injurious, as the cow nea
will Uni ve much better whctt giVe?
the land alone. If oats are wanted
they should always be se?, did in an
other held. , ' j v
A Good Crop for Seed. ' "~
The ordinary string bean, the pod*
of which are eaten, to a good crop to
grow for seed, provided the ? ed ls
ground and used for stock, lt pro
duces but little vine, but the seed can
1?? broadcasted and whenthe beans are
dry the vines should be pulled up and
thrown on the barn floor to be beat?tt
out, which work moy be postponed bu
til winter if preferred.
r '.Tho Wealth la a Farm.
The farm that produces but half a
crop is much less valuable than a fer
tile farm, and- if a poor farm is in
creased in fertility the farmer has
stored in his soil a greater amount ot
plant food from which to .secure crops?
niches need not be in tiie form ot
money, buildings or live stock. The
increased value of the land is in addi
tion to the farmer's wealth.
Sh limn HU a? nu Insect Destroyer.
It may not be generally known that
skiinroilk or buttermilk readily mix
with kerosene, forming an emulsion
which destroys Insects without the
danger of injury to animals or plants
on which they might be that migbt
result from the use of the pure oil t;r
of oil and water. We first learned
of this from using this mixture for
the scale insect or mite which causes
scaly legs on fowl. We found that
one or two dippings or washings with
it would cure the worst case of Bea ly
leg,, and leave the skin as smooth as
when first hatched. We never had
occasion to try lt for lousy animals,
for we never had one, but we do not
hesitate to recommend it, and we
have lately seen its use advised for
ticks ou sheep, using a gill of kero
sene to one gallon of mtlk. We do
not make our mixture ns strong of
kerosene as that, but perhaps the
i larger tick may need a stronger appli
cation than an Insect so small as to be
scarcely visible to the naked eye.

Bee Hints.
It is an old, old fashion to usc
smoke with bees; but Mr. Robert
Davis gives his explanation of it:
"Bees when frightened by smoke w.ll
Immediately gorge tkemselvts with
houey and . loose all inclination to
sting."
Here follow some practical hints to
beekeepers which are given by Mr.
Davis In the New York Journal:
The most vicious colony of ?yblrtfs
may bb controlled by using a liltlii
tobacco in the smoker.
The prosperity of a colony depends
.upon tlie fertility of the queen. If
weak, colonies have not become popu
lous lu some season, kill the quceu
and give them another.
Toads, skunks and mice are great
eneuiic^ta bees; see *hat-'they do not
r'hnve"*access to the apiary.
? ' Increasing or dividing should be
done ns early as possible, but not un
"UY stores" are coming* abundantly.
Drones are Just as essential as any
other bees; but too many are a nuis
ance. This may be controlled by cut
ting out drone-comb and substituting
worker-comb or foundation.
Drones may be prohibited in ob
jectionable colonies by dividing early
In the spring.
Keep all colonies strong.
Value of Sorghmn.
. Sorghum as a. forage crop has given
great satisfaction in most places where
it hus been tried.. and. . where
It has failed to give satisfaction tbs
cause has usually been found to bc*
that lt was harvested too late. At the
Nebraska experiment station lt has
been grown for forage for milch cows,
and in the matter of yield and as a
milk producer it has proved superior
to any of the non-leguminous forage
plants, when fed green. Our ex
perience with sorghum has bien on
thin soils and lt grows well upon such
soils. It is a much greater resister to
drouth than corn is, and makes tine
green forage when the grasses are
dried up. Experiment and chemical
analysis have/shown that when the
plant is from two to three feet high
it contains GO per cent, more nitro
genous elements and a very much lar
ger quantity of fats than it does
when it has produced its seeds. We
observe that Professor Thatcher, of
the Nebraska station maintains that
young sorghum ls an almost perfect
stock food. This is not in accord with
our experience.
If pastured when about two feet
high, it will give good results, but
much better results will be obtained
If dry feed is used with it Like all
green forage plants, the water- in feed
is of no more value to the animal than
water In the trough ls. Of course If
trie pasturing is done when the~pTant
ls young, there will be a loss In yie'.dr
and some have claimed that the differ
ence in yield more than balances the
superior composition of the young
plant over the old. With Some crops
the excessive yield makes them more
valuable than another like crop of su
perior feeding value. The mangel
more than holds its own in compari
son with the sugar beet, because of
its large yield. Bat so far as we have
been able to determine, the best value
can "be got out of it when it is young.
But while lt makes a good fodder, it
does not make a superior one. Stock
te.very fond of it, a result no doubt
of its saccharine qualities.-The Agri
cultural Epltomist
Fattening Stock Economically.
Not every farmer can fatten an ani
mal economically. The ability to do
this must be acquired by study and
practice. There are many branche"
to this subject and their numerous
conditions must be thoroughly under
stood If the farmer would realize th?,
most from his feeds. He must con
sider the quality of food, warmth and
quietness of stables and many other
important Items. As in many other
departments of farm labor, there is
a great Jacking -here In sympathetic
work. Some are Ignorant as to the
best methods;"While others are care
less of their re,al Interests and have
BO - regularity ur-their work. Every
farmer .seems fo have his own way,
and lt ls too ofter! chosen with regard
to the convenience of the feeding
rather than the economy.

lu ft pint of warm water and wash t<2

it penetrate to every part of the fi! ?,

meal. But whether or not the pine
apple leads, chicken hash makes an ex
cellent, substantial dish. With frlcC
tomatoes as an accompaniment, ani ,
with coffee or whatever one chooses U
drink, the breakfast Is complete. I if
making the chicken hash put a llttl
of the chicken broth into a pan an
add three raw potatoes cut into sum
pieces. If the potatoes are.large us
but two. Let them cook' for ten (
twelve minutes, then add the chucki
cut into small pieces and mix well. 1
whole pepper chopped and added as ti
improvement. Season to taste nd
serve on toast. The tomatoes re
either quartered or sliced and are frd
In hot butter. When sliced it is wil
to dip them into beaten egg and lio
crumbs before frying. When quurtr
ed they need no such treatment, ut
should be covered with flour.
Currant Ice-For every pint of jmc
from ripe red currants allow a pouO
of granuluted sugar and a pint ?
water; when the sugar is thorough
dissolved put into the freezer! add tu;
stiffly beaten whites of two eggs to ti*
mixture when it is half frozen.
Colbert Sauce-Put Into a snucepn
one cup of white cream sauce; addro
it very gradually one tablespoonful^
stock; mix well together, '- reinc/e
from the fire, then squeeze in the ju;?
of half a sound lemon and add oe
teaspoonful of chopped parsley wbn
serving.
Strawberry and Pineapple Crear
To a quart of good cream just begu
iling to freeze add three quarters ola
cup of chopped pineapple and thre
qunrters of a cup of crushed* strav
berrles, each of which have had a scait
half cup of sugar sprinkled over tvo
hours previously. Continue to tun
the crank until stiff and serve withu
a half hour.
Old Vlrgiuln Spoonbread-Scald oie
cup of cornmeal with three of bolllig
water; add two eggs, well beaten, time
cups of buttermilk, a teaspoonful ?f
soda and one of salt. Melt one tea
spoonful of lard and add it last Bale
slowly In a yellow-bdwl or puddiig
dish. This is the famous Virginia
spoonbread, so popular nt the Whte
Sulphur springs. Delicious.
Sleplce, or Chicken In [Batter-Pre
pare a chicken for frying. Have sull
clent butter or lard lu the frying pin
so hot that a blue smoke begins to ap
pear. Take two well-beaten eggs, tvo
or three spoonfuls of milk and beat In
to a smooth, thin batter; add a smtll
pinch of salt. Dip each piece of chick
en Into this batter and fry a nice bixmu
In the hot lard. A handsome dish and
a good one".
Tapioca Cherries-Soak a cupful, of
pearl tapioca .over, night. Put on tire
tire with one pint of boiling water; sim

Our Redwood Foresta
In the light of thc many expressed
fears that our lumber will soon bo ex
hausted by the onslaughts that arc be
ing made on It, some recent observa
tions in the National Geographic Mag
azine as to the gigantic redwood for
ests of the Pacific Coast will be perti
nent. The area of the redwood belt
has been carefully mapped, and is, ns
nearly as can be estimated, 2,000
square miles, or 1,280,000 acres. The
stand of timber on this area is not
so easy to ascertain, but may be com
puted at something over seventy-five
billion feet. The annual cut by the
mills is 250,000,000 feet. At the pres
ent rate of cutting, therefore the sup
ply will last 300 years. In Mendocino
County, California, there ls nearly
nine times as much timber on an acre
as in the Southern pineries; in Hum
boldt County upon 00,443 acres the
average stand Is 84,000 feet per acre,
nearly seventeen times as great as in
the Southern States. There is one
cause of destruction from which this
tree ls entirely' exempt-that is, fire.
Containing no pitch, but, on the other
hand, a large amount of water, lt will
not burn when green. No fire can run
In a redwood forest. It ls the only
one of our coniferous lumber trees
which is thus exempt. Redwood Is in
almost universal usc on thc California
coast.
He Felt Relieved.
"I only play the piano a little for
pastime," said the new boarder.
"Thank heaven for that," said the
boarder with tho most dyspepsia. "I
was afraid you might play it for rag
time."
