If they have been cultivated, the ridges of soft dirt interfere somewhat. There is on the market a device consisting of long fingers which are placed on the mower to lift the peas and allo the cutter-bar to run under them, Cowpeas can be threshed with per- fect success only with a pea or bean huller, A wheat thresher may be used, but it cracks the peas so badly } at Missouri Experiment Station. Cowpeas may be thrown into loose shocks when partly cured. A field | break off badly in raking up, espe- cially if one or two rains should fall while they are curing. When cured with much benefit in curing, A better erage season way of curing in is to cut them in the allow the leaves to evaporate as much when well wilted rake into ligut wind- rows to cure. A side delivery rake can be used to great advantage in turning these windrows if the peas are not too viney. They may also be placed in rather tall, narrow shocks after they are partially cured and al- lowed to finish curing in the shock. Peas planted in rows usually fall Tiling Out Wet Spots. A. C. Page, College of Agriculture, | University of Missouri. There are many forms in Missouri where a small amount of tiling woul: greatly increase the total productive- ness. Often there is a wet spot in a field on a side-hill where it cause: great inconvenience in driving through with implements, and does not yield any appreciable crops itself. - The expense of tiling out such places as this is not very great com- pared to the benefit derived. Neither does it require any very great skill, ordinarily. If the farmer understands the cause of these seepy places, he can quite easily remedy them. Usually a seep comes at a place where the under layer of heavy soil, usually clay, comes to the surface. The water sinks in all along the slope the top of the clay, It cannot pass through this clay, so it travels slowly downhill along the top of it. If there happens to be a place where the clay comes to the surface, there is a seep found. A single line of tile will ordinarily handle this water from the seep. No- tice the top of the wet circle, where the vegetation begins above the seep The title should be in a curve fv low ing this circle, and should be laid ju — the surface of the clay sais” above and gradually finds its way to} evening or on a cloudy day so as to! water as possible before drying, and/ an av-) as to make it impractical except with some of the smaller seeded varieties. A wheat thresher may be modified so in this way, a hay tedder can be used ; a8 to give fair satisfaction by using hastening the} a large pulley on the cylinder to re- duce the speed, while the rest of the machine is geared up to run at the usual rate. A part of the concave teeth may also be removed with good results, but these are only makeshift methods, and a pea huller should be used if available. In this connection it should be said that the introduction of pea hullers should be encouraged in all parts of the state where peas are grown, The average yield of peas is about-nine to ten bushels to the acre, although they may run as low as six bushels, or as high as 25 bush- els, OPP PPP III III 110100080000 1 nnnnnnnnnmnnnnnnn Such provision should be made for ar outlet, which can usually be made by running the tile downhill to the edge of the field. A good substantial out let should be built with stone and cement, so that it will not be cloggec up. In riding through a farm district it is easy to see, now, which ground was best prepared. It shows up in the crop. Cloddy fields with littl preparation don’t stand any show by the side of well prepared fields. They lose moisture too. fast. “The best tilled field with the straightest rows, the smallest amount of waste space, and so forth, yields the largest profits, and gives one at the same time the greatest mental sur- isfaction.—President A. Ross Hill, University of Missouri. Good Care of Calves. By good feed and cars or the lack of it, it is easy to make a variation of $1 to $5 or even 910 per head in the value of the calf the first year. It is a great mistake not to raise the grain and forage to feed the farm stock and the family supplies. At Icast 10 per cent of the hay crop, f $¢€0,C00,000 worth of hay, is levied » aunually by locusts, grasshoppers, RUNNING WATER IN THE COUNTAY HOME By Professor M. F. Miller, College ‘ of Agricuiture, University of Missouri. In my opinion one of the first es- seniials to comfort and convenience in the farm home, next to a proper plan, is the presence of running wa- ter. The carrying of water from well or cistern, sometimes remotely locat- ed from the kitchen door and too often provided with a pump _ that runs down" between trips, or even with a rope and bucket, is too weil kuown to need mention, If some farm- ers would stop to calculate the num- ber of miles their wives or daughters walk during a year carrying water, often through rain and over ice-cov- ered walks, he would secure a result that would go a long way toward awakening him from the lethargy in which he lives. , One of the most important consid- erations in supplying water for the farm home is the character of the water supply. The cistern imay be perfectly satisfactory if precautions are taken to prevent the entrance of surface water, To insure pure cis- tern water a solid cement wall should be provided. he ordinary dug well may also be sat ctory, well is alwa questionable, Typhoid and other bacteria may enter through the water. Instances are all too common where this has occurred and the water still had eve Appear- ance of wholesomeness, The dug well can usually be made safe by cement- ing the top ten feet during some dry time, although even with this a driven well is always to be preferred, Where water is secured from a spring or stream there is always dan- ger of contamination, although in the case of a good spring the danger is small. however, where springs have been the cause of severe typhoid epidemics so that the common idea that spring water is always pure -is | erroneous. There is no surer way to provide pure water than to use a driven well in which the water comes from a depth of forty feet or more. surface Recause we have used the water from a dng well for years in ety with no typhoid fever is no assurance that it will never come. A visitor at the home, who has only recently re- covered from this disease, may fur nish a pollution for a dug well that always been perfectly pure be- The consequent loss of life and can not afterward be atoned for by any amount of money spent, Country people are far too careless about the character of the water sup- ply. The first thing that appeals to the average farmer when he thinks of in- stalling any kind of water system, is the expense. It does not necessarily require any great expense to add a has fore, health number of convenient and time-say- Ing features to the household water supply. Probably the simplest sys- tem, and the least expensive, is the one in which a hand pump is placed in the house. This plan con s simply of the in Stallation of a sink at a convenient place, near the kitchen table if pos sible, on which is mounted a common pitcher pump connected with the well and cistern by iron pipes. Where both hard and soft water are desired, two pumps can be installed, one con- necting with the well and the other with the cistern, In this case two sins are usually installed, although it is perfectly feasible to use a single pump and cut-off which can be turned instantly to connect with either well or cistern as desired. The waste pipe from the sink should be of lead, an inch and a half inside, and should connect with a three or four-inch tile running to the n outlet. It is desirable for san purposes to place the ordinary small trap beneath the sink and to use Biazed sewer pipe with cemented jJemts for the first (fifty or one hun- dred feet to avoid fny possible con- tamination of the well. White porceiain sinks are obtaina- ble at every plumber’s shop, or they may be ordered from any company handling plumbing goods. They are much to be preferred to other kinds. If the edges are rounded in a wide roll it adds much to their appearances and makes thera easier to keep clean. Such a plan cn the average can be worked out for abeut $40. The sup- ply pipe used should be 1%-inch size, and if the distance from well or cis- tern to the sink is more than thirty feet .a force pump should be used {ustead of a pitcher pump. A pitcher pump costs about $6.75, a white enam- el sink 20x30 inches $6, a force pump $12, the small lead trap bepeath the sink $1.75, leading piping 45 cents a foot, and the one and a quarter-inch supp!y pipe about 15 cents a f6ot cut ready for installing. Thus it is not a very expensive system to install. and the added convenience is well worth the expense. Other more complex and more ex- pensive systems are now used, and there are many advantages in them. The elevated tank and the pneumatic pressure tank are the two chief char- acteristics of these other systems. They. have the advantage of giving water pressure without band pumping, and they make possible the modern Dathroom with its tub and closet. These systems are too complex to be discussed at this time.

Pacific Buys 50 New Coaches St. Louis, August 7.—Contracts were let today by the Missouri Pacif: ic-lron Mountain Railroads for passenger service coaches. The or- ‘der includes eleven chair cars, eight regular passenger coaches and two ‘divided passenger coaches which are to be built by the Pullman Company and fifteen baggage cars and fourteen mail cars, the contract for which was awarded to the American Car & Foundry Company who will construct them at their St. Charles, Mo., shops. Under the contract all of the fifty cars are to be built on the steel con- struction plan and are to be equipped with the most modern safety devices. The passenger cars are to have in ad- dition every improvement in the line of comfort and are to be electric light- ed and finished in mahogany with lat- est designs of comfortable seats, which are to be plush upholstered. The most modern heating is also call- ed for in the specifications. The cars for which contracts were let today are in addition to the large installment of dining cars, passenger mail and baggage cars which the Missouri Pacific-Tron Mountain have been receiving lately from the American & Foundry Com- pany shops at St. Charles. The lat- ter cars, now arriving, are also con- structed on the most modern plans. Since President B. F. Bush took hold of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain lines he also let a con- tract with the American Locomotive Works for fifty freight engines of the Under the agreement Mikado type. made these engines are to be ¢ ed the latter part of the present month. Bids have also been asked from leading manufacturers for a large number of passenger locomotives and a big equipment of freight cars. — It is expected that these orders will be placed within the next week or two. Fifty thousand tons of heavy steel rail ordered by these lines a short time ago have been received, and the track is being re-laid with them. An- other big order for steel rails is to be placed within a short time. VOre Accused of Stealing. E. E.
