M. writes: Pea hay is supposed to have an injurious effect on the kidneys of horses if fed continuously. I have been told that mules are not so affected. riease eay if this is a fact and also how much pea hay can be fed horses without injury. The idea that pea hay has an injurious effect 011 the kidneys of horses if fed continuously is news to the writer. While the claim of our correspondent may be correct, I have never heard this subject mentioned at farmers' institutes in tho State nor has it been called to my attention by letter. ' I have also visited many farms where horse breeding was engaged in quite extensively uiui m ?i uumwri ui m- i stances have seen them fed pea hay. and it would seein that if there was j anything in the claim that pea hay was injurious to horses that some suggestion would have been made relative to it by these breeders. Tea hay has been fed to work horses on the station farm for several months at a time without injury so far as we know. The principal reason for discontinuing its use has been due to the high price it commands on the market and the difficulty experienced in growing a sufficient tupply to last for a longer period. We have not had any experience in feeding it continually to horses, and therefore cannot speak with any authority on this subject. but if any of our readers have had the experience mentioned, we should be glad to have them throw some light on the subject. I do not believe that pea hay is injurious to mules, because it is the practice of every mule breeder in Tennessee to feed pea hay whenever possible. In fact the flue coat of hair which characterizes the Tennessee mule is attributed largely to the feeding of pea hay. This at least is the belief of feeders with years of experience; men who have handled and fed thousands of mules. I have been told by some of the leading inule feeders of the State that feeders from other sections of the country have frequently visited their places to ascertain if possible how they fed iheir mules to produce such I splendid coats, for while males in many other sections of the country may be in as good condition, the quality of the hair and the character of the coat do not approach that of the Tennessee fed mule when handled intelligently. It is a common saying among mule feeders in Tennessee that the coat they can put on their mules through the use of pea hay enables them to obtain from $10 to $15'more for them than they would otherwise bring. The experience of so many large feeders extending as it does over a number of years is pretty good evidence of the value of pea hay in fattening mules, and it would also seem ' that it had 1:0 injurious effects on I these animals. .lust why it should be held that pea hay injures horses and not mules is not clear :o the writer, provided the pea hay is of a first class quality. The pea hay is hard to cure and sometimes it is fed when in a moldy and unsatisfactory condition and this might account for the trouble indicated. As much as ten pounds of pea hay is commonly fed to horses and mules in this State. It is rarely if ever the exclusive ration, but is gen?rally fed along with mixed hay, corn stover, corn or sorghum silage or sorghum fodder.? Prof. A. M. Soule. Sorghum and Corn For Silage. P. H. D., Wei bourne, Ya., asks: Do you think that sorghum silage is better than corn? I once made ou uplands which usually produce ten barrels of corn, twenty-live tons to the acre. This land was heavily manured from the cattle barns. A square rod of com was cut and weighed in the field so I think there could have been no mistake in the amount made. In my judgment, writes Prof. A. M. Soule in reply, sorghum silage is just as good for beef cattle as corn, and if anything more satisfactory. It has some great advantages over corn in the South in that it resists drought better, will make a larger yield than corn, and is not so difficult to make into a good quality of silage. Corn be comes ready for the silo almost in a day and if not put up immediately it dries out so rapidly that it frequently has to be wet to preserve it or else it will firefaug. Sorghum on the other hand retains its juices with wonderful persistency and can be put in the silo any time within a week or ten days, or even longer without injury. If the sorghum is allowed to practically mature before being cut for silage, it makes a sweet silage which is eaten with the greatest relish by all classes of stock. One objection to it from the dairyman's standpoint is that it sometimes taints the milk, though if fed after the cows are milked, there Is practically 110 danger from this source. We have also observed that Current Items. The decree of divorce granted Lillian Nordica was upheld by the Supreme Court in New York, Zoltan Doeme having failed to prove his allegations of fraud.

'ARM /VOTES j D-d? Ef/?, STOCKMAN AND TRUCK GROWER. J ~A If the cattle received a small quantity of hay along with the silage that the milk is not likely to be tainted. Some have argued against sorghum for silage purposes because it is so hard on the land. It is not harder on the land in proportion to yield than corn. In our experience sorghum has yielded about twice as much as corn and therefore the total draft on the soil is much greater than with corn, but if the sorghum is brought into a rotation of crops on land that is prop-1 erly fertilized once in three to five years it will lot injure it in the least. ! The yield of corn silage indicated in | your communication was certainly remarkable. We have never approximated such a yield here. If you only cut a rod square in a large field there was every possibility of an error being made. We have had small areas of coru that would doubtless yield at the rate of fifteen to twenty tons of green feed, but when you take from a ten to fifty acre field of silage from either corn or sorghum, it is doubtful if any crop will be found that will approximate more than twelve to fifteen tons per acre. With an exceptional season and soil the yield may be much greater. We have raised twenj ty tous of sorghum silage to the acre on the station farm and we can safely ! count on fifteen in an average season when the crop is properly managed. On the other hand, corn has not yield- j ed more than eight to ten tons.?Knox- [ j ville Journal and Tribune. Cowpcas In Corn. Cowpeas will grow better when planted in the corn in the South than j they would in the North, because the I corn plant matures in the South comj paratively early in the season which j permits the sun's rays to readily reach j the ground and thus insure the rapid j growth of the cowpea, which loves a warm and sunny climate. By growing cowpeas between the corn rows , the land can be considerably improved and a nice crop for grazing off with hogs obtained. Soy beans, of course, 1 may be grown ip the same way. Where j the crop is intended for silage purposes the cowpeas may be planted in drills with the corn or sorghum. This is accomplished by taking a tw;o horse planter and fitting a plate 011 one side so as to sow the cowpeas and adjust ] the other to sow corn or sorghum, j For silage purposes we prefer to sow about ten to fifteen pounds of corn and eight to ten pounds of sorghum i with one peck to a half bushel of peas. j By sowing two rows of them and then | reversing and going back over the j same ground the peas and corn or J peas and sorghum can be pnt down to- i gether. In a warm favorable sea- j son the peas will grow fairly well ! sometimes. I have frequently seen j them climb up the stalks of corn ten or twelve feet. From observation one would suppose that a large per cent, of the crop would consist of peas, but investigations conducted several years at this station fail to show a high per cent, of peas in the silage crop. Never more than fifteen per cent, has been obtained and the average is only about five per cent. It would thus be better so far as our results are concerned, to grow the peas and sorghum by themselves and make them into hay and feed along with corn and sorghum, as not enough peas have been obtained to influence the feeding value of the silage to any appreciable extent. It has been suggested to grow the peas and soy beans by themselves and run into the silo load about with the corn but you will appreciate the fact that it causes delay and annoyance in filling the silo and that Svheu you run a load of corn or sorghum and a load of peas you would have to do more work to mix the product thoroughly and make it uniform than is justifiable.?

The land should be made rich if a heavy crop is to be grown. Farm yard manure and acid phosphate and potash arc suitable manures for 1 |,? onnlin.l lih mese crops uuu mwuiu .? . erally?500 or GOO pounds of acid pbos- | phate to the acre is none too much to apply. They make the best yield sown in drills two feet six inches apart and the plants should be thinned out with the hoe to stand ten inches apart in the rows. Sown in drills two pounds of seed per acre is sufficient. Sown broadcast will require four pounds. Rutabagas should be sown in July, turnips may be sown in August. All who keep cattle, sheep and hogs should grow these root crops. They provide succulent feed to be fed to the stock in winter and will carry young cattle through winter in a constantly improving condition on fodder or straw. For sheep keepers they are almost indispensable if the best .'suits are to j be attained.?Richmond Planter. The News of the Day.

The Greatent Enemy. MOXG the elements ami ^ _ y forces of nature there are O Z\ O several enemies of good JK roads, hut the greatest of SfOJr them is water. It washes away the material of the road. It soaks into the road and softens it so that the wagon wheels cut into the surface, making ruts and holes. It permeates and softens the foundation so that the surface of the road sinks or breaks up. In the winter the water that is in the road freezes, expands .and loosens and disintegrates the road material. The most important thing in the building of roads is to lessen or prevent the ravages of water, yet no feature of the work is so neglected as this. Many local road supervisors seem to give no consideration to the question of drainage, and the result is a regular mud blockage during several weeks or months of the year. The following are a few simple rules the observance of which would go far toward bettering the roads of this country: First?The road should be so located and constructed, as to avoid steep grades, down which the water rushes during liea\-3* raius, tearing up and washing away the road material. Second?The foundation of the road should be thoroughly drained by open side ditches which will carry off the water, and where necessary tile drains should be laid in the foundation itself. Third?Thesurface of theroad should be hard and smooth and have sufficient slope toward the sides to shed the surface water. Fourth?Ruts and holes on the surface of the finished road should be filled as fast as made so that 110 water can He on the surface to be worked up into mud. These rules are simple and easy to follow, and any one who gives any serious thought to the matter can see the wisdom of following them. Still they are almost universally Ignored as the condition of our roads abundantly proves. What this country needs is a radical change, a new iu road building. The people have been moving in ruts in more senses than one. and if each local community is left to work out the road problem alom they will continue to move in the same ruts, and every year millions of dollars will be thrown into the iniul to say nothing of the losses resulting from the use of bad roads. Lectures 011 road improvement seem to do very little good. Rooks and bulletins on road building appear to have very little effect. What tlie local communities need is practical object lessons and actual assistance, and these can ^0 ne only from the State Governments and the Federal Government. It is for this reason that road reformers everywhere are turning toward State and National aid as the only solution of the road problem. The bad roads of the United States are a blight, a curse, a disgrace, and all patriotic progressive citizens should matte a granu uuueu euuri iu ?i|re them out, and put our nat.on on a level with the advanced uutious of Europe iu the matter of roads. "Waterways; Why Not Highway*? The United States Government has taken up the improvement of the waterways in no uncertain way. We have in this country twenty-five thousand miles of const line, where are hidden rocks and bowlders, and thousands of lives have been lost and millions of dollars' worth of property destroyed. Our Government has reached out in a protecting way for the relief of the people along this iine. A sail along our const line Is attended to-day with almost perfect safety. We have 1100 lighthouses and lighted beacons. We have about 3T>4 siren signals, besides others. There are nearly 5000 whistling buoys of various kinds. The service requires 4200 men, at an annual cost of $4,600,000. Every one of these lighthouses and every man is needed to protect the commerce of this great country. The money expended is wisely used in preserving the lives and property of our people. Having so well provided for the country in this respect, the people of the United States should now take up this great question of the improvement of our highways, thus enabling us to carry the produce of the farm as expeditiously and economically as it is possible to do. rubjlc Sentiment. The Minneapolis Progress. in an editorial on pood roads legislation in pen era 1, says that "Public sentiment has lately grown in favor of State aid and National aid combined. State aid alone can accomplish much, in cooperation with local authorities; but. backed by National aid. the work of road improvement is put upon the most substantial basis. National aid has been given to river and harbor Improvements, to tlie building of railroads, to the erection of public buildings, and to other public works and institutions; but, the farmers, to whom good roads are a necessity for agricultural prosperity, have had comparatively little National aid in the way of improvement appropriations or helpful legislation." The Duluth Herald is of the same opinion. "Good roads are economical; the farmer knows It, ana the consumer knows it, and their influence is being felt," the Herald says. *L*~s Tim a n:i ntls of women s\if<:r fro nervousness awl don't kn >w it.
