Cow Peas for Hay. 
Q. M. IF., Chambcreburg, Pa .—I have 
about four acres of ground which is heavy 
clay soil. It was pastured last Summer. 
Because of continued drought no grass of 
any account remains. Would it be profit¬ 
able to try to raise cow pea hay on this 
ground? If so, please inform me how to 
prepare ground, when and how much to 
sow, and when to cut for feed. Is cow-pea 
hay a good feed for milch cows? 
Ans. —Cow peas are not particularly 
well adapted to that heavy soil. They 
would do better on lighter. We think 
you will get more feed by sowing oats 
and Canada peas in early Spring. Cut 
green and cure for hay and then sow 
Japanese millet. Cut this and sow rye 
alone or seed to grass. 
A “Restorer” for Fruit Trees. 
R. , Ohio. —What about the “Fruit Tree 
Restorer” that Is being advertised and sold 
by L. II. Hovis & Co. of Ohio? It is said 
by the promoters to be a nostrum of some 
sort that is to be put into the sap and 
“will kill the scale on trees, rose bushes, 
berries and grapevines,” and that it “kills 
all the insects and purifies the sap, so that 
in a short time the trees take on new life 
and new root.” 
Ans. —This is a perfect humbug. 
There is no truth in any such statements 
as that there is any way to “treat the 
sap” so it will kill the insects on the 
bark or anywhere else, except to kill sap, 
tree and all together. There have been 
many humbugs of this kind tried on the 
public and they have paid no one except 
the fakers who have sold them.

Paraguay Tea. 
The Plant Introduction Bureau of the 
Department of Agriculture has secured for 
distribution seeds of the yerba mate tree 
from the boundary line of Brazil and Para¬ 
guay. This tree Is a member of the holly 
family, Ilex Paraguariensis, and Is thus 
described by C. F. Mead, of Paraguay, who 
furnishes the seed : 
“This plant is known here as yerba and 
the forests where it Is found are called 
yerbales. There are many varieties here¬ 
abouts, but I was lucky enough to be able 
to purchase seed of the best kind. The 
seed when planted will take three months 
to germinate, but if the whole fruit Is 
planted, three years are necessary. Plant 
In nursery first, then transplant, spacing 
10 feet apart for square method. When 
full grown the tree Is from 30 to 40 
feet high. As near as I can find out the 
method of preparing for market is to pick 
the leaves, partly dry by fire, finish drying 
In the sun, and then break up fine with 
a kind of flail, when It Is ready to sack 
and market. The flavor of yerba Is regu¬ 
lated by variety, the strength by years of 
growth and methods of prepar 'on. The 
yield of yerba is about three kilos per tree 
when three years old, six kilos per tree 
second crop, and a gradual increase then 
until full grown, when 25 to 35 kilos can 
be cut every three years. Yerba sells in 
Buenos Aires for $1.15 Arg. (about 50 
cents gold) per kilo.” 
The tea is infused in boiling water, and 
Is said to be extremely refreshing, es¬ 
pecially when fatigued. Nearly 30 years 
ago an English botanist calculated that at 
least 8,000,000 pounds of yerba math were 
consumed annually in South America, tak¬ 
ing the place of Chinese tea as used in 
other countries. Books of South American 
travel state that the native method was to 
Infuse the tea in a small gourd, and then 
suck it through a tube, called a bombilla, 
but we do not know whether this custom 
Is still observed. The excellent quality 
of Paraguay tea has been praised by many 
authorities. 
Profits in Canning —In regard to the 
profits that are to be derived from a can¬ 
ning factory, it is a very hard question to 
answer. With our factory we can only 
tomatoes and beans. We raise the most 
of them, and can them ourselves. We put 
up a first-class article and have a home 
market for all we can put up. Our toma¬ 
toes bring us from 90 cents to $1 per 
dozen. We pay 30 cents per box for first- 
class tomatoes, delivered at factory. We 
have kept an account of the cost of raising 
a crop of tomatoes and find the cost to be 
about 10 cents per bushel delivered at 
factory. The yield is from 150 to 300 
b- hels per acre, according to cultivation 
and ground. I think a canning factory, 
properly managed, in a good locality would 
be a success if the farmers would take hold 
of it in a businesslike way; that is, be¬ 
come stockholders and not expect the stock 
to make them rich without any effort on 
their part. H. D- TDPTS.
