THE GBEEN PEA LOUSE. Tn tha Inst few veans a new and serl ous pest of English peas has brought great injury to the regions 'where the canning of peas is an imporiant, in-dustry. In Delaware and Maryland the losses to pea grbwens and oanners have been especially great and tn some oases entire crops have been totally aeswpy-ed; The cause is the pea louse. If this tiny insect eonflned its attacks to regions where peas are grown by" the tanning purposes we in Alabam woaid rnot be particularly interested. However, it is liable to be equally destructive on the few.

Ex. WHAT SHALL WE TEACH THE YOUNG? Agriculture should be taughtitn all public schools, and. in private schcols as The true objsot of teaching the young is to imbue their minds with elementarytruths and train them in the use of such: truths, as a foundation for the "ecluoation" which is completed only when death or senility writes a period after the last completed sentence. Strange as it may seem, the most important facts In nature have been the most neglected in our curri-oula.

A man may corner wheat and thus tax the bread-eaters to the extent of millions of dollars, and yet be an ignoramus who knows nothing of 'the laws of nature which has made, possible. The society pet may pay $5 for a bouquet for his best girl, ancUyet, if he knajrs not whence the flowers came, anu by what Aame, belongs in the innumerable category of sap-heads who know about as much of the facts that concern him as the little city girl who, on a visit to her aunt in the country, refused the milk because it had "a thick yellow scum on it." There oan be no better way to broaden the youthful mind than to give It a knowledge of the fundamental principles and processes that account for the food we1 eat, the clothes we wear and the facts that confront us every day of our lives. Oan a youth grow to maturity with no knowledge of how plants grow, how they are nourished; how species and varieties originate; what elements enter into their nutrition, and by what means these elements are assimilated: the effects of polination. in the production of new varieties, budding and grafting; the characteristics of the different soils, and the effects upon growth of fertilising and cultivation and the effects upon plants of the work of Insects, both injurious and beneficial can he be uninformed upon these subjects, and escape the stigma of gross ignorance? The field of agriculture is a broad one, and only elementary principles are necessary for others than practical farmers. But these elements are nec-.

essary for the complete preparation of the youthful mind for the acquisition of knowledge, which Is the proper office of the common schools. Such training is also necessary for self -protection. When green-horns are hum bugged by nursery agents with "peach grafted on mesquite so they will stand drouth," and innumerable similar frauds, it only emphasizes the fact that people who have no knowledge or the principles of agriculture, "and their money, are soon parted, jno matter if the youth never plants a seed or reaps a harvest, he needs a knowledge of the fundamental principles of agriculture, as a protection against those who know more, but lack integrity.

Moreover a record wae not preserved of the exact strength of the solutlonused, Spraying with kerosene omulslon (specially prepared miXitures '-of soap, and water) has been thoroughly tested ill. the regions where mis pest is most serious and the gener ai verdict Is that this treatment is im jpractloable, a strength sufficient to kill tn insects being injurious to the pea, the foliage of which Is verv tender. The preferred treatment in localities woere most attention has mar given to the matter consists in the use of small Doughs of green pine for bruslif tnff the insects off the done at a time of day when the ground is very hot and dry. A. cultivator immediately follows and buries the lice in the soil the, heat, weight and dust of which are said to be sufficient to kill -most of the lioa, the bodies of which are very tenaet This method has been successfully pursued on large areas.

There will doubtless be an added diffl cultv In thus treating iu the garden tnat nave oeen stuok. the sticks inter faring with the thorough brushing off of the lice. It is worthy of trial where the pest appears. A further improvement of the above method now in use consists In mount lng on sled a shallow open box con' tainlng water on the surface of which floats a thin film of kerosene. This is arawn along net ween the rows and tne insects from both adjacent rows brushed Into it, when they are killed by contact witn tne layer of Kerosene.

The question arises Whether this in sect will also attack the vetches, which are closely related to the English pea. If 'it does' so. It beoomes of far more Importance than can be the case with any insect that confines its ravages strictly to some vegetable. Readers are requested to let the fact he known If green pea louse appears on their English peas and any wno have patches of vetch near, a gar den infested with this insect, would confer a special favor by noting whether the vetah is also attacked and by communicating the results of their ob servations to the writer.

P. D. PEES EOB THE DAIRY HERD. Now Is the time to make plans for feeding the cows next winter. It is all right to buy grain to feed when prices are not too high, and even if prices are nigh it necessary to buy some grain.

especially cottonseed meal, but it will be much better to raise every thing possible on the farm. Two-thirds by weight of th Working cow's rations should be what Is generally caUed roughness. Every pound of roughness should be grown on the farm, on the score of economy. Of course every- thing oan be bought, and If good cows are used some profit be made, but It is in accordance with sound business principles to buy as little as possible, and sen as much as you can. As already stated; the cow requires a large portion of her ration in the shape of roughness.

This she Is obliged to have. The more digestible nutrition contained tn the roughness the less will have to be mads up in grain. Indeed it is possible (but. not advisable), to give a full and almost perfectly balanced ration In pea, vine, hay or clover hay, and use no grain at all. So, in planning for the years' supply of roughness, keep, constantly in view that the should be ample 16 pounds per day tor each and see that the quality lsthe best, -In the opinion of the writer, oorn eh silage stands at the top, for the rea eons that it la cheap, reasonably nu trittous, and appetising, cows in a natural state only consume enough food to maintain their normaX bodily condition and to supply food for their calves.

All she can be induced to eat above these requirements and not impair her constitution la that much gain to her owner. The short horn turns this surplus- Into flesh and the dairy cow into nutter tats, junsuage sharpens the Appetite. It also furnishes more nutrition than the average corn fodder. Next to ensilage Is cow pea hay. In deed It is mush richer In the mostly protlen than endilage.

and not consid ering payability, more valuable teed, other feeds that should not be neglected are oorn, fodder (the entire plant shocked and cured), sorghum hay, crab grass hay, bright straw, etc. Circumstances will of course govern each individual dairyman to a large extent, gome can raise one crop to a better advantage, while others will find It more convenient to raise some thing else, but every one should as far as practicable; provide a variety. The greater the variety the more the cow will eat and the better returns she will make. Cow pea hay Is almost per fectly balanced and carries a high per centage of digestible nutrients, but if fed alone It soon becomes more or less repulsive to the cow's stomach, and she loses the stimulus needed to Induce her to eat the surplus required for profitable work. 80 with any other food, In pitching crops for the purpose un der discussion, the first consideration will be to decide what will furnish the required protlen, carbohydrates and fat needed.

-at the least and then se lect two or more of the best, which can be grown to best advantage. The feeding season lasts about two hundred days and -each cow Will require about 3,200 pounds' of roughness to carry her through, but if a liberal supply of good bright cow pea hay can be caved It will be economy to Increase) the supply of roughness to about two tons for each cow and cut down the supply of bran. A daily ration of thirty pounds corn ensilage, 2 pounds sorghum' hay and 6 pounds wheat straw, with 3 pounds cottonseed meal, would be all an average dally cow Trould require. A dairyman lana ougnt easily to make a bale of cotton per acre. Such lands will yield IS tons ensilage, 4 tons sorghum hay or i tons cow pea hay or 20 ibusheis wheat that will turn out, say 1 1-4 tons straw.

So to feed one cow ror tne zvu days it is necessary to plant, aay one-fifth of an aare.in ensilage corn, one-fifth in sorghum hay, two-fifths in cow nea hav and two. fifths in' wheat Btray, or say one and one-fifth acre for each cow. Now add to this $8,90 to $7.00 for cottonseed meal and you have the cost of wintering one cow, in milk. W. William- eon- -t 2 it'ht PBVINO AID SOGS.

When attempting to preserve eggs It is advisable, says The Family Doctor, to only work upon those 'which art absolutely fresh, and- IMS as well to reject any whloh are soiled In any way. Wipe the seleoted eggs carefully with a clean, dry cloth, and then rub with the saim 01 the hand, which has re cently been washed, dried, and moistened with a drop" or two -of boiled linseed oil; Care should be taken that, no spot on the egg is left without a' mm. or oil.

BREEDING FROM IMMATURE ANIMALS, I feci safe In saying that the continued use of Immature animals for breeding purposes will cause deterioration In swipe breeding as quickly, if not more so. than by any other method that could be pursued. It Is one of the commonest errors practiced by swine breeders at the present day. Ovei1 60 per cent, of the brood sows kept In the State today are under fifteen months of age.

The same is true of the sires The evil results of suoh a or lack of' method, or breeding are very pronounced, and can be seen on almost' every farm where swine- is reared. Kveiy farmer thus beoomes aji for he tests a new lot of sows each What are the results? Htt concludes after he has experlmen tied with the breed for several years that they are not suited to his conditions os they soon "run out," that is, they beepme too small, too fine in the bone, too weak in constitution, are susceptible to hog cholera, do not produce large enough litters, thus he decides to try another breed which ha knows Is much better adapted to his needs. It takes him only a few years to find out that they are no better than the others, and thus he continues to unll he finally decides that swine husbandry is not a profitable If he had been a good experimenter he would have kept his best sows as long as they bred good Utters and mated them with mature sires, and experience leads me to say that he would not have condemned the breed for the reasons I have heretofore mentioned. I am firmly convinced that larger litters, stronger and better pigs, can always be reared from mature animals than it is possible to get from Immature W. K.

Kennedy. It Is probable there will be a demand In North Texas for Mexican June corn far in excess of the supply. If a late growing, drouth resisting corn Is wanted, any variety grown in Mexico, or for aouthwest Texas, will meet the conditiens. The "Mexican June corn" is not a fixed type. Practically all the corn grown in the drouthy sections of Mexico is "June corn." It has developed drouth resisting Qualities by growing tn a drouthy country, and it has developed a gigantic stature by growing under a warm sun and having a long growing season.

There is oorn grown there that Is white, smooth, dented, soft, flinty, long, slender kor-nels broad flat kernels and colored all the shades of purple blue and striped, and all having the peculiar characteristics attributed to Mexican June corn. -nFann and Ranch. HOW TO CULTIVATE CORN. If the land is inclined to be crusty, or to bake. At would be well to run over the crop with a smoothing harrow Just before the corn oomes up.

Run the smoothing harrow right across the rows as if it were tha Intention to tear the corn out of the ground; remarkably few hills will be disturbed, however. A few days after this harrowing, run around the corn with a iive-hoe eir.gle-horse cultivator as close to the corn as possible without disturt-ing the roots, or covering up the corn. The plant by this time is about six inches high, and now it is ready for the hoe hand. He oan cut out the surplus stalks, and when necessary replant, and uncover some that ths plowman overlooked. If in stiff land' plow next with a double shovel, running Ave or six inches deep and about six inches from the corn.

Let this be the last deep plowing. After this, use the single-horse cultivator, with three-inch hoes Instead of inch and a half. Run only about two inches deep, or less, from now on; as the object Is to break the crust and furnish a "dust blanket" or earth mulch to hold the moisture in the soil by retarding evaporation. This cultivation will destroy weeds and grass and aid chemical action, as well as retain moisture. It is much easier to kill he line weeds and grass as they germinate.

rather than let them grow and depend on wrapping them up. These plow-ings with- the cultivator should take place once a week, unless too wet to do good work. Avoid running too deeo. as the roots will be seriously injured, and Toot prun ing is not good lor corn. Cultivate as long as the horse can get about In the crop conveniently, even up to the time of tasseling If necessary.

If the crop is planted on a level, it should be cultivated on a as it will resist drought very much better. Except where lands are wet and subject to overflow is best to plant on a level, This system will also help in the use of a corn harvester if the crop is to be cut for ensilage or stover. If the land ie cold and wet the corn must then be on ridges or beds, and must be cultivated that way. On ordinary soils, with level culti vation the moisture will be retained In dry weather much better, and the roots will not be so much damaged by If ridges are to be used let the land be in beds eight to twelve feet wide, and the 'corn planted In rews four feet arart on these beds or lands -B. Irbv.

ctjltivati.no VS. CHOPPING ORCHARDS. There is considerable difference of opinion, anting fruit growers regarding the question should be cropped or -given clean cul tivation. There are many farmers who follow a practice of raising vari ous field crops in their orchards, paying very little attention to the effects on the orchard; but yet would complain of their failure to bear. We know of a number of farmers who are intend ing to put their fruit trees in partner ship with' corn and cotton and- we therefore that a few remarks on this point are Quite necessary.

The sub ject of cropping or clean cultivation of the orchard baa been thoroughly, in vestlgated by a number of experiment stations In the United States, and the results summarized in Farm Bulletin No; (If 'of the Department of Agriculture. At the New York, Cornell, station it was found that the roots of trees only fixe or six years old. have a greater spread than the tops. Wot instance, the roots of an apple tree In rich, cul tivated soil, extended eight feet from the trunk, while the entire top was not over eight feet aeross. Another apple tree with a' top only, six feet across had roots ten feet long.

A pear tree in poor sou naa roots twenty-one feet long while lt entire ton meas ured only sevo feet aoross. The roots of an apple tree which bad stood in sod sines planting were Just beneath the surface of the soil, while the roots of those in cultivated soil were no-whtm less than eight lnohes from ths surface. These facts show that if or- shards, are to be cultivated at all the must be cultivated from ths first, since otherwise the roots grow so near the surface as to be injured by plowing and cultivation. They also show that to get the full benefit of cultivation all the snao between the trees must be cultivated. One dollar a bottle.

Free man of Birmingham. A Good Report from Henry. Columbia Bieese. One of the best and most bopeiui 'sisens of the times" comes from the farm, and it comes, too. in a practical, progressive form.

It has been sloa? in reaohing this section, out it is sureiy here and is infectious, and soon will every farmer be thoroughly, innoou- lated. This hopeful, saving sign is simply this that the farmer is al last awakening to; a pre per realisation ot wha and what he really is. Instead of regarding himseif-and firmly believing that others so look upon him es one Of the lowliest members of the human family, a mere drudge, the product of whose ceaseless toll went to sustain the less irksome life and Inflate the purse of his brother in town or city, whom be has been wont to look upon as occupying a higher and more desirable position in life than himself, it Is dawn ing upon him that it Is he who occupies the higher and, more responsible and more independent position. That it is upon him and his intelligent labor that the material welfare of the world depends. And this awakening is manifesting Itsslf In more -ways than one, but chiefly, perhaps In more Intelligent methods of farming, greater interest in his work and a desire to know what is the and then a determination 10 do it in the best way.

They are ridding it of stumps and trees, buying improved, labor saving implements, raising better breeds of cattle and hogs, giving more attention to the garden and family cow and poultry yard in fact, tney are Beginning to ao what they should have accomplished vears agogetting out of debt, accumulating property and getting ahead of the game generally. The Breese welcomes the sign of prosperity and may Its bulk increase.
