a 
bench. When one of the young ladies was 
told that she had no mail she said it was 
“simply abominable.” A little dust on the 
steps was to another “ perfectly horrible.” A 
poor little dog that barked at them was “ ab¬ 
solutely vile.” It seemed to be “perfectly 
dreadful ” to have the sugar barrel where they 
ran against it and even the members of our 
club were “ awfully rude ” for keeping their 
seats. It was a little encouraging to note 
that the moon was‘just too sweet for any¬ 
thing ’ while the candy purchased at the 
store was “ perfectly lovely. ” 
“ Veil, veil ” said Uncle Jacob, as the young 
ladies disappeared up the hill, “ dot vas a 
gurious illustration off somedink. Off you 
looks around mit yourself you vill find dot 
blenty off beeble neffer says shust what dey

SMALL PICA. 
COW-DEAS IN IOWA. 
The cow-pea (Dolichos Sinensis) is exten¬ 
sively grown at the South for fodder and as 
a renovator of worn out land. The peas, or 
more nearly beans, make an inferior food, 
sometimes used by the negroes. It is not gen¬ 
erally known that the plants will succeed at 
the North. Last spring, seed was obtained 
from North Carolina and planted at the Iowa 
Experiment Station, in rows 3% feet apart, 
on ordinary prairie soil, on April 34. The 
planting was too early, and the seed came up 
poorly and slowly, and by the first of July 
the plants were but little over six inches high. 
Now, however (Aug. 20), they have covered 
the ground, and many of the runners are over 
S'X feet long. The round pods, nearly a foot 
long, grow a few together at the end of stout 
stems which rise above the leaves. 
It has been said that stock will not eat the 
vines. A few days ago I cut some of the green 
vines and offered them to the cows of the col¬ 
lege herd, some 20 in number, which are upon 
Blue-grass pasture, but had been kept in the 
stable over night. None of them would touch 
the peas. I then tried them with freshly cut 
clover, and they would not eat that either. 
Two of the cows were then kept up, and the 
rest turned out. At ten o'clock they refused 
the peas again. At noon they were offered 
green clover, which they ate cautiously at 
first and then with relish. They were then 
given cow-peas which they ate as well as the 
clover. A. A. CROZIER.

FEEDING YOUNG PIGS. 
The man who throws a few ears of corn to 
his pigs, three times a day, and expects them 
to “laugh and grow fat” will be disappointed. 
They will squeal and grow thin. I had this 
year a sow that raised only two pigs; but 
those two grew faster than any pigs I have 
fed for a long time. This is why they grew:— 
Their parents were not scrub stock, but sleek, 
clean-cut Berkshires. There were not 13 pigs 
crowding in a trough that would only accom¬ 
odate 12. No, there were only two, and 
they ate slowly, quietly and comfortably. 
They were not filled up with dish-water at 
breakfast and then compelled to wait till noon 
for their next meal. No; they had rich milk 
and when they wanted more they trotted off 
to their mother until she gave it to them. 
They were not shut up in a nasty, ill-smelling 
pen, but had range of the farm (while they 
were small) and had dry quarters in which to 
sleep. I profited by these obsei vations, gave 
my pigs rich slop—not too much—five tirms 
a day and sometimes oftener; let them have 
a lot in which to graze and exercise; visited 
them between feeding times and, if no unfor- 
seen calamity happens to them the pigs will be 
a profit to me. p. b. crosby.
