This leads us to believe, thoueh one season's experience must not be taken as final, that the Oregon vetch is not nearly so hardy as the hairy vetch, but it has Suggested the advisability of mixing the two together when seeding with rye or oats for pasture purposes. The advanage of this combination lies in the fact that the Oregon vetch will develop early and I furnish pasture before the winter vetch has begun its growth, and even if the Oregon vetch is destroyed by an unusu ally severe freeze, it will have already furnished much feed, helped to enrich I the soil, and will then give way to the ■ hardier variety which will come on and take its place during the spring and early: summer When preparing plats fori grazing with cattle or hogs we shall certainly use the two in combination in the future, and if for any reason it. seems advisable to plant them alone, both t will be used, and whenever the winter is mild enough to suit the Oregon vetch ' there yrtll be no doubt about its proving a most satisfactory crop to grow. While there is no objection to using either one of the varieties mentioned alone for hay or pasture purposes, there are some very J strong objections to the practice, one of * the principal being found in the cost of 1 the seed. The hairy vetch, of course ' Is much more costly than the Oregon > vetch, and in any case sufficient seed tor an acre, where no other crop is used with i It. will cost from S 3 to 16. By sowing with j three pecks to one bushel of rye or one bushel of oats. M to 5 pounds of either, of the varieties will be a sufficient amount ■ to use: thus 100 pounds of seed may be made to cover five acres of land and the cost of the seed will be greatly re duced thereby, and one of the strongest objections to the general use of the vetch es removed. The very excellent results obtained last year with both of these crops when 20 pounds of seed per acre I were used Witlt the above suggested • amounts of rye and oats is the only evi . donee needed to show that as heavy seed ing of the vetches as has often been prac ticed is unnecessary*. Moreover, seed from either one of these crops may be raised by the farmer who has once se cured a stand if he will devote an acre' or two of his land to vetch. We have j grown from six to ten bushels of hairy ▼etch seed under none too favorable cir-l cutnstances and believe that more can ' be raised where conditions are as they■ should be. As to the best date of seeding vetch j opinions vary, bat in some experiments made last fall where the vetch was seed-, ed with one-half bushel of Culberson oats, the yield from the plat seeded Sep- j tesnber 15 was 1.65 tons; from that seeded | September 30, 1 ton; October 15, 1 ton; ’ October 30. 1 ton; November 15. 1.25 tons, and November 30. 1.30 tons. The seed ings In December and January proved a failure. This data bears out the sug gestion that early seeding for these crops will, as a rule, be advisable. More over. ft seems that the vetch might often be sown with advantage In the month of August. For instance, on every farm there is probably land which might bit devoted to these crops did com and cotton not demand the attention of the farmer. There is often leisure during the month of August, however, when it is too late j to sow cowpeas when the land might be prepared and seeded to vetch alone or • in combination.

Me crops developing more completely be fore cold weather sets in and furnish a larger amount of pasturage in the fall At the same time, it would give the vetch a longer period of growth and en able it to gather more nitrogen from the air. These are some very material advantages which would follow the early seeding of this crop. In some experiments made to determine the best rate of seeding vetch when plant ed by itself as good results were obtained from one-half as from three-fourths or one bushel of seed. Where vetch was seeded on a 50-acre plat by Itself at the rate of one bushel per acre, the yield was at the rate of 3,630 pounds of cured hay per acre. When one bushel of vetch was seeded with a bushel and a half of Cul berson winter oats the yield was at the rate of 3,918.5 pounds of cured hay per acre. As large yields, however, were ob tained under field conditions as are here indicated from the use of 20 to 30 pounds of vetch seed/ but these figures have been quoted to show just what results were secured upon definite areas of land. At least from one and a half to two tons of hay can be secured from oata and vetch when grown under anything like favorable conditions. The facts set forth bear testimony to the very excellent qualities of vetch as a winter cover crop for pasturage and hay making purposes. That the soil may be materially Improved by the growth of this crop all will agree who have seen it tried. That it may be made the source of a much needed supply of excellent hay has been clearly demonstrated. It is to be hoped, therefore, that, in view of its many excellent qualifications tbe vetch will be much more extensively used on our farms In the near future than it has been In the past, for In this way. and this way alone, the needed food for the main tenance of live stock can be secured and the enormous losses which soil erosion in flicts upqn us in a measure controlled. ♦ ♦ ♦ QUERIES ANSWERED ♦ COMMERCIAL MUSHROOM GROWING. H. E. T— Hartwell. Ga., writes: I am thinking of going into the mushroom bus iness and would like all the Information you can give me on the subject. Could I use my cellar, which is large and dry, for the purpose? How much will I have to pay for the spawn, and is there a good demand for mushrooms? Mushroom growing is quite extensively developed in some sections where there are large centers of consumption. As the mushroom is a perishable product It is necessary to market it very promptly, and the best commercial results will probably be obtained when one is situated close to a large consuming center. The mushroom is really the fruit of the plant itself. The plant is a white or bluish white mold, and is called the spawn. It develops In fields and manure piles and in its first stages of growth has the appearance of a network of white threads. The problem of the grower, therefore, is to keep the spawn alive and spreading. When this is done the production of mushrooms naturally follows.

This crop fs not diffi cult to grow after one understands the business. It is important to secure good spawn and give care and attention to the work. It Is a clean crop except for the preparation of the bed. While many have failed in mushroom growing, there is no secret about the business, as many imag ine. Mushrooms are generally propagat ed from what are known as spawn. The English product comes In the shape of bricks which are broken up into small pieces and planted. The French or Flake spawn is already broken ready for plant ing when purchased. The spawn is kept in stock by all seedsmen and a good qual ity of the same should not be difficult to purchase, the price varying from 10 to 12 or more cents per pound in small lots. Mushrooms may be grown out of doors and in cellars and stables as well. Any place where there is a dry bottom on which to set the beds will answer, provid ed a moderate and uniform temperature can be maintained. The crop should be protected from excessive rain or winds and drouth. While absolute darkness Is not necessary, exposure to sunlight is un desirable. When a cellar is selected the windows and doors should therefore be closed up. In an unheated cellar the beds should be built on the floor and should be about 14 Inches deep and any convenient width to handle. The most favorable • temperature probably is about 66 degrees , F. Probably the best manure to use, for mushroom growing is that obtained j from the horse stable In a fresh condition. ■ It should be thrown into a heap and wet j well, if dry, and left to steam. Then it should be later shaken thoroughly and evenly mixed and tramped down solid. Let it stand until it gets warm again and re peat the process, wetting freely. After turning several times it is ready for use. It is well to add to the manure one-fourth of its bulk of rich logm. When the beds are prepared a layer of six inches of well moistened hot manure from the stables should be put In the bottom, and then the prepared manure placed on top. The latter should be put on thinly, and if the bed becomes too warm, delay the completion of the work until it has cooled off. When the bed is completed cover with straw to arrest the escape of moisture. When the tempera ture has fallen to 90 degrees F., the straw should be removed and a large brick of spawn broken up into 12 or 15 pieces and set in rows about one foot i apart and nine inches apart in the row. Cover two or three inches deep. At the end of eight or nine days remove the straw and cover the bed with a layer of rich loam two inches thick. _ This is the method usually pursued in growing mushrooms. You will see while it entails some trouble to prepare the I beds that after they are once made, but I little difficulty will be experienced in i growing the crop. Some people succeed well the first time they attempt to grow mushrooms, and others have many diffi culties to overcome. Experience, of course, is needed to insure success. COTTON SEED MEAL AS A FOOD FOR EWES. S. D., Lynchburg, Va., writes: I would be pleased to know if cotton seed meal can be fed to ewes that are In poor flesh, having suckled their lambs until quite re cently. My experience In feeding cotton seed meal does not extend beyond cattle, but I have recently purchased some thor oughbred Shropshire ewes, and. to gef them in goojl flesh before cold weathe sets In, I have thought that cotton seer.’ meal would be the best feed. I would like your opinion along this line. Cotton seed meal may be fed In limited amounts to ewes in th’n condition to good advantage. The idea that it will pro duce abortion or Interfere in any way with the early mating of this class o’ stock is erroneous. As I have stated re peatedly, cotton seed meal is much a very concentrated food irt comnarisor. with those most ordinarily used that peo ple have injured their stock on occasion® by feeding too much of it, but when fed under rational conditions and with good judgment only beneflc'al results have fol lowed with sheep as well as cattle. We would not advise feeding over one-quarter of a pound per head per day to begin with and certainly not more than one-half a pound at arty time. We would prefer to feed the smaller amount, and think that better results will always follow where you feed a little crushed corn, oats or bran. We have used it alone with sat isfaction, but think it makes a better ra tion when mixed with the other grain suggested. As a flesh former cotton seed menl is very fine, and it also supplies the system of the animal with plenty of pro tein which is necessary for the proper maintenance of the fleece in sheep. It Is certainly good practice to feed the ani mals a little‘grain when the pasture are poor, and especially when they have been, handled as suggested in your letter and are In a thin condition. There is nothing with which the writer is ac quainted that will furnish protein as cheaply as a high grade of cotton seed meal, and If fed under the conditions sug gested. no difficulty need be experienced in feeding it to ewes. RELATIVE VALUE OF PEANUTS AND CQRN AS FEED. A. J. 0., Omaha. Ala., writes: I would like to know what per cent of fat there is in Spanish ground peas as compared with corn for feeding to hogs. Com meal orlllnarily contains about 9.2 per cent of protein. 68.7 per cent of car bohydrates and 3.8 per cent of fat. Wheat bran contains about 15.4 per cent of pro-, tein, 60.4 per cent of carbohydrates and 4 per cent of fat. Peanut kernels contain about 26.6 per cent of protein, 10 per cent of carbohydrates and 42 per cent of fat; peanut vines. 10 per cent of protein, 42 per cent of carbohydrates and 3.6 per cent of fat. Peanuts, including the whole plant, contain about 18.4 per cent of pro tein. 40.1 per cent of carbohydrates and 21.5 per cent of fat. Alfalfa hay contains 14.3 per cent of protein, 42.7 per cent of carbohydrates and 2.2 per cent of fat. You will see, therefore, that the whole peanut plant Is richer fti protein and fat than alfalfa hay. which is considered al most equivalent in feeding value when finely ground to wheat bran. You will notice that the peanut plant is very rich in protein. Protein is the element which builds muscles and nerves and tissues tn the growing animal. Carbohydrates are concerned in providing heat and force for the animal organism. The fat is also more or less used for the same purpose, though It Is concerned In other functions of the animal body as well. You will thus see that the peanut is very much richer than corn meal or wheat bran In food constituents, and It is no wonder that It furnishes almost an ideal crop for the fattening of hogs. In fact. It may be successfully substituted for this pur pose In many sections where corn does not grow well. The crop is easy to grow and much easier to harvest than corn since the hogs do the work themselves. There Is a tendency, of course, for hogs fed on peanuts exclusively, to produce a soft and oily fat. This difficulty may be overcome by feeding partly or exclus ively on corn for two or three weeks be fore the time of slaughtering. SORES ON THE UDDER. G. B.

The sores on the udder of your cow woll probably yield to the following treatment First bathe and cleanse the udder very thoroughly with tepid water. Then disin fect the spres with some antiseptic solu tion. Car nolle acid will answer very well for this purpose, dissolving one part of acid in 30 parts of water. Another good intlseptic and disinfectant to use is ere olin, one part to 100 pasts of water. The treatment should be repeated at least once daily, and probably more often. In this way the bacteria or whatever is caus ing the trouble will be destroyed. Some ‘imes trouble sufch as you describe oc curs in full-blooded animals and the use of Epsom salts as a purgative will often be found helpful in effecting a cure. Give the salts at the rate of one to one and a half pounds as a drench. It'should be given every other day for three days, and It may be repeated in a week. It might be well to keep your cow In the lot for a few days so as to avoid reinfection of the udder, as the trouble may be due to something occurring in the pasture. VALUABLE HORSE DIES FROM FALL IN WELL While grazing tn a vacant lot in Beede alley. West End, Monday afternoon, a magnificent buggy herse, belonging to the furniture firm of Matthews &. Lively, 154 Decatur street, rei into a deep well and died before be could o extricated. Every possible effort was made to get the b.vrse from tbe well, but all In vain. Tie horse had been driven out to West Ean by one of the collectors of tbe furniture firm. Upon reaching a point in Reeds alley where :ie bad some collecting to do, the collector left the home untied in the street and entered severs, houses to collect rent. While he was gone the horse wandered off into a vacant lot to gran on the high grass, and in walking around the lot tbe horse stopped into the uncovered well and went down. The well was obscured iron view by the tall grass that bed grown over the open Mg. Tbe animal was one of tbe most highly prued ownol by the furniture firm. He bad jus, been purchased for S2OO and was considered an unusually good horse for tbe purpose lor wUlcn he was bought. Immediately after falling into the well stren nous efforts were made to pull the horse out. When it was seen that the animal could not t» hoisted from the well orders pere given to U’Z a trench around the well so that tbe suffering animal could then be pulled out. Work was started on the trench at 3 o’clack Monday afternoon with Mr. Mattcews personally superintending the work. He had 12 negro, e hard at work on the trench in an effort to res cue the horse before he died. When # o’clock arrived the men had just dug a deep trench ano were preparing to hoist tbe animals from tbe well with a rope when suddenly the boras died.

A Main street business man had an ex perience the other evening that he has not yet fully recovered from. He admits that it caused him to lose his mental poise, and that he had a hard time going back to sleep after he had been through IL He was called from bed by the tele phone ringing, and when he answered th« call a gruff voice asked: "Do you want that ambulance sent over right away?” “What ambulance are you talking about?” responded the sleepy citizen in rather Irritated tones. “Why, the one you sent for, of course.’’ returned the voice, it, too, showing signs of irritation. "I didn't send for any ambulance,” an nounced the business man, wondering why he should have been waked for such a silly message. “Your’re a liar,” the other fellow stated calmly. The victim looked at his receiver to make sure that it was sound and had transmitted the message properly, and hen he shouted back: "I am, am I? Well, you just come along with that am bulance of yours, and I’ll send you back in it!” But it didn’t show up. CALLED FATHER TO TELL NE‘ ~ DEATH NEW YORK.
