4 . t Farm and 1 Garden HAIRY VETCH. This Crop It Particularly Valuable In tha North. Two vetches Ut particular are culti vated in the United States, the com mon vetch, or Cares, and the hairy, or Russian, vetch. The former Is much used as a winter crop for hay on the Pacific coast and In the southern States, being commonly sown with oats, rye or wfeeat. It is also exten sively grown in the citrus orchards of California as a winter green manure crop. In the northern states it is very likely to winter kill. Hairy vetch is in a general way like common vetch, but decidedly more re- B.UKT VETCH. sistnnt to cold. It will ordinarily sur vive the winter in most parts of the United States and in Canada. In fact, It is more resistant to cold than any other annual legume grown. ()u this account it is particularly valuable in the north, according to the bureau of plant industry. .In the Connecticut valley it has received much favor 89 a winter green manure and cover crop on tobucco lauds. Where the winter temperature h not cool enough to prevent growing, as in California, it has been found that hairy vetch grows much more slowly in cool weather than the common vetch, and the latter is therefore preferred. Hairy vetch, however, grows very rapidly as the weather becomes warm. Vetches are somewhat objectionable where small grains are used in rota tion, as they become somewhat weedy In grainflelda. Except for this, vetches are a very valnable crop and deserve mncn more extensive cultivation. Am a rule, hairy vetch caji be safely sown from the l.rth of August to the 15th of September, says an au thority on this subject. When grown aa a cover crop it abould be sawn alone. What Overripe Hay Lacks. The trouble with overripe or dam aged hay is luck of pulatability and, worse than this. Indigestlbillty, re marks a writer in New England Home stead. It bears the same relation to good hay that a skim cheese does to a full cream cheese. You eat the former and never want to see its kind again. Chemical analysis does not discover the trouble, but the stomach does. The city feeder is a much better judge of quality In hay than the farmer, be cause he looks for results. There has been less improvement along this than any other line of farm work. It should be a question of how good as well as how much. It is easy to cause a depre ciation of 25 or even 50 per cent in feeding value. The worst feature Is the guilty party does not appear to no tice the difference. 8weet Corn. In some Canadian tests the three varieties of sweet corn. Ringleader, Mammoth White Cory and Golden Bantam, required eighty-four, eighty seven and elghty-ight days respective ly to mature for table use, according to New England Homestead. In com parative value Ringleader stands first, but In table quality Golden Bantam was the leader. Handy Pan Gate. The accompanying sketch shows a sheep gate in use on several sheep sta tions, for wooUhed pens and outside pen gates. It works on a stout bolt at the foot of one of the uprights and runs be tween the post and an upright fastened as shown. On the opposite side the BEEP PEN GATE. (ate as it shuts drops in a similar groove. This is said to work more easily than the guillotine gate and is less liable to get out of order. The gate as shown is half open. When folly open it Is thrown quite back, and to close the gate it is thrown forward till it falls into Its place In the opposite groove. Leader. For Dwarf Pears. For dwarf pears I would not advise anty one to let the trees stand in sod, says T. G. in Farm and Fireside. It will mean ruination to the trees and unprofitable crops right along. The ordinary run of standard winter pears are not so particular, and we have usually grown very good crops on tra arren in sod. THE SILO. It May Ba Constructed at 1ha 'Laast Coat In tha South. If you have no pilo, now Is the proper time to begin the building of one. It is the cheupetit burn a farmer can build and will give a better return on the money Invested in it than any other outlay on a farm where -cattle are kept In excess of five or six head. The cost of a silo is less In the south per ton of capacity than anywhere else, be cause here there is no need to so build It as to exclude frost. Tub r Tank. A simple tub silo made of inch boards will keep silage hi tlie south quite as effectually as a concrete or frame silo will farther Berth. AH that ts needed Is to make a practically airtight tub or tank. The great thing to be particu lar about is to get an the depth possi ble consistent with convenient han dling of the silage, as the deeper the silo the better the silage will pack and the closer it packs the better the silage. Tha Estimated Sixe. The following table will enable any one to calculate the size of silo he will need for his crop and stock.

The drawing shows a low down lmr row in stillicient detail to enable any one to make a similar one. We think that next to Hie low down cart it is the handiest tiling around the build ings and garden that we have, says a writer in Farm and Fireside. Its ca pacity is more tliau double that of the ordinary kind, and the load is much more easily put aboard. It has tin advantage of getting Into close quar ters where the cart would not go, and for use about the feeding alleys, the stable, the lawn and the garden there Is hardly anything that will take Its place. For the framework get two pieces of hard wood 2 by 2 inches which will project to form handles on one end and for the wheel frame ou the other. At front eud of box in rear of wheel a piece of the same dimensions Is mor tlsed into the frame to bold it rigidly and to make the front end of box frame, rieees lVa by li inches are also mortised Into the bottom of the legs, both front and bad. These form VOW DOWN BAltUOW. the foundation for the floor, which should be of three-quarter inch boards, 1 he legs are mortised into the shaft or handle pieces, the front ones resting about three inches from the ground and the rear ones securely braced, as shown in the cut If desired the sides may le built from the floor solid and straight up, but we find it better to have a per manent bed from floor to top of han dles, with removable side boards to slip on for use In handling bulky stuff. Heavy material, such as bags of fertilizer, large stones, etc., are euslly handled with this type of barrow, as they may le loaded between the handles directly from the ground. Checks Upon the Bollworm. One of the most important checks up on bollworm Increase Is the cannibal istic habit of the larvae themselves. After the larvae have attained con siderable size they are ever ready to engage in battle with their fellows whenever they chance to meet. When two larvae are of unequal size the smaller is usually killed and devoured by its fellow, but if their size is about the same both larvae often die as a re sult of injuries Inflicted upon each oth er. This factor Is of greatest impor tance In corn, for If ail of the larvae hatching in the silks of an ear should attain full growth nearly every ear would be completely destroyed. The reduction in bollworm numbers In ears of corn, due mainly to this cause, Is Illustrated by the following figures: During August, 1005, ten ears of corn were examined just after the silks be gan dying, and 11)8 larvae in all stages of development were found. This gives an average of twenty larvae per ear, most of which were small, or aoout ten times the number which would ul timately reach maturity. Cannibalism Is a less Important factor among larvae on cotton, as in that case the larvae are more generally distributed over the plants and therefore meet less fre quently. F. C. Bishop. Forage Crops. Sow forage crops at every oppor tunity during July and up to the mid dle of August, advises the Southern Planter. These can be made to take the place of bay In feeding the stock on the furm, and the hay can be made a sale crop. It has sold for high prices all the past winter, and we are of opin ion that it will sell well next winter. Bermuda Grass. When well set on good land Bermuda grass has maintained a mature cattle beast to each acre and produced more than 200 pounds of beef during six months of grazing, says an exchange. Sheep can graze upon It from seven to nine months In the year according to locality. Relieve Headache Almost instantly and leave no bad effect.
