All that is requiréd is a few joints of

a loose cover into which the pipe is

A DESTRUCTIVE PEST.
Appearance of the 'Weevil Stopped
Pea-Growing in a. Certain
Section of the‘Ooumltry.
Many years ago I used to grow acres
of white field peas for hogs. That was
what they were called then, but since
we have to get seed of the same from
Canada, where weevils seem not to
bother, the name seems to have been
changed to “Canada. peas.” I raked the
peas in bunches with a horserake when
ripe, the rake tearing them out by the
roots. W'hen dry I stacked them along—
side the hog yard like hay, and forked
them into the yard as hogs needed.
Only enough were stored in the barn
to be threshed for seed and for young
pig's the next summer. “Then warm
weather came the next June the grain 1
room had not been opened for two or .
three weeks, when I went to get peas
to soak for some pigs just before wean-
ing, and the sight I beheld was pho-
tographed on my mind indelibly. A
portion of the substance of my peas
was running all over the floor and walls
and bins of wheat, corn, oats and bar-
ley. The eggs of the pea weevil had
hatched in every pea, consuming about
one-fourth of each grain, and then
emerging in the form of dirty gray
beetles, and I suppose they were on
their travels looking for sunlight and
chance for further development. My
pea- gr'owing for pigs ceased then, as
it did with all my neighbors, and prob-
ably never to be renewed in this sec- ”
tion of the country.—-—-Galen Wilson, in
Practical Farmer.
FACTS FOR FARMERS.
It pays. to prepare the ground well
for the crop.
A low-wheel wagon on the farm is
very handy.
It helps the looks of premises great-
ly to whitewash the fences and the out— .
buildings.
Add a pinch of soda to the water in
which cut flowers are placed. It will
' help preserve them.
The advice often given, directly or
indirectly, to use horses without shoe-
ing, is arrant nonsense.
If we learn to run an incubator, it
will always be ready, and sometimes is
availablerwhen setting hens are not.
The orchard should have just as good, ‘
attention as any other crop. When the
tree is planted, the land should be thor-
oughly prepared.
Potatoes cut to one or two eyes have
always given satisfactory results and
we take no stock in the theory of plant-
ing whole potatoes.
Twelve bushel ‘ ‘
make as much po as 17 of raw corn.
Fed with slope the result should be
200 pounds increase in the weight of a
pig
Haul out the manure and spread it on
the land wherever you can. Do not
handle it but once if you can help it.
It has been decided that it is the better
way to spread it on the surface as soon
as possible.——Western Plowman.
’Goncentrutlnc the Mann-re.
Very few farmers have enough stable-
manure to fertilize all their lands as
they would like. The best thing for
such farmers to do ll to apply this
stable manure mainly tot-he craps on,
which they expect to put the most of
their labor. It does not pay to plant,
cultivate and hoe poor land. Every ad-_
dition of manure makes the labor more
effective, and therefore more profit-
able. With mineral fertilizers it is
different. These are usually applied to
grain crops, for which dressings of 150
to 250 pounds per acre are usually suf-
ficient for the crop, besides leaving
some to be taken by the clover after
it. These mineral fertilizers so soon
becomejnsoluble' m the soil that it does
not pay to apply them in large amounts.
A small quantity each yeaur sufficient
to make the crop it is applied to, it

A Bit of History.
Applied to 'Present Condi-

Our Readers.
It’s a singular thing how trifling an
incident will often change the world’s
history. If a country gentleman living
in Cheshire, England, had not by acci-
dent been thrown from his coach into
the lap of a young lady, the pair might
never have mart 1ed 0r migrated to the
American Colonies, and thus the;
world would never have known of
George Washington as the father of
our country. So it is in the daily life of
' everyo-‘ne 'Little Things occur which

Mr. G. Millard, of 51 West Avenue,
South Norwalk, engaged in the fur
manufacturing business in West Nor-
walk, knows well how fortunes smiles
at times on the afflicted, in showing
how relief is near at hand. His ex-
perience and advice is given ~in‘ the

“Nth respect to 1clig ious- senicesn it
has. oftgn been suit.” that “Fools who
came to scoff remained to piay, ” but
:1 new and more polite version of the
line. says the London Telegraph, has
been furnished by Lincoln’s inn, under
whose auspices- “those who came to
pray remained to lunch.”
Interesting; as is the chap-cl of the
inn, good as: is the music. excellent as
is the sermon, liitzlinert-o the services
have been but poorly attended. The
bench-ens seem anxious to remedy this
state of things. so they have made a
regulation which will doubtless be
much appreciated. reminding men of
their college days: and college break-
fasts. It is now open to every member
of the inn. in inviting a friend to at-
tend chapel. to accompany his invita-
tion with an offer of hospitality. and
after the service it will be permissible
for him to entertain his: guest at a cold
luncheon. which will be served in the
hall at one o’clock. ~
It was; rather unfortunate that the
inauguration of this regulation should
have taken place in such unpleasant
weather. but it may cns'ih be 1'01 etold
that in the spilng and summer the

TAUGl-IT HER A LESSON.
A Selfish Young Woman “1110 “('11.
Not Content with One Seat
for One Fare.
When a newspaper man boarded a
Madison street cable car the othei day ,
says the Chicago Times-Herald, he saw
five men standing and glaiing at the
-‘ only vacant seat—vacant in the sense
that its only occupant consisted of sev-
eral small packages deposited there by
'a young woman next to the heater,
who was reading a novel in ostenta-
tiously serene indifference to her mo- ‘
nopoly. The newspaper man took in
the situation at a glance and, touching
on the knee 8. man who sat next to the
packages, said, with a covert wink:
“I beg pardon, do these packages be-
long to y ou ?”
Before the man sitting had finished
his expected disclaimer of ownership
, the young woman snatched up the
‘ packages and placed them on her lap
with the air of a greatly aggrieved per-
son. The scribe calmly sat down and,
glancing across the aisle, saw three
smiling ladies, one of whom, apromi-
nent member of a West side woman’s
club, he happened to know. .She bowed
to him and, leaning- forward, he made
this response in perfectly audible
tones:
“Mrs. — I wish you would do me a
favor. At the next meeting of your
club reada paper giving the unpopular
side of the widely discussed topic:
‘Why are not men more polite to wom-
en in public conveyances?’ If you do
I will guarantee to have it published."
The laughter that followed had for
its ceriuence the departure of the own-
er of the packages at the second cor-
net.
