Peas are a good crop for either old

In a variety of ways. Good results

Field peas should be planted as
early tn the spring as the ground can
be prepared. In some places where
the ground Is dry. the seed may be
sown late enough In the fall so that
tt will not germinate. At lower alti
tudes. where the season Is long, the
peas may be sown as late as the first
or middle of July, and they will get
large enough in the tall either to pro
duce forage or to be plowed under to
Increase the humus and nitrogen In
the soil. The best time, however, Is
to plant as early In spring as possi
ble. February Is not too early, If the
ground Is thawed out.
Peas are easy things to cultivate.
On the dry farm, under the two-year
system, all they will need Is a harrow
ing with a drag-tooth harrow after
they have come up. Under Irrigation
peas may be managed at the pleasure
of th© farmer. The pea Is what the
botanist calls an Indeterminate grow
er. 1. e.. It grows, blooms, and ripens
-seed as long as there Is moisture and
absence of hard, freezing weather.
The amount of Irrigation will de
pend upon the length of the season,
and somewhat, also, on the heat of
the summer. Where summers are
hot, flood Irrigating will blister or
otherwise Injure the pea plant. Fur
row Irrigation is better. They may
be kept growing by Irrigating often
enough to keep the soil moist. We
have found that on good, loamy soil
four irrigations gave a yield of ripened
peas of 34% bushels per acre, and
about four tons of vines, while seven
Irrigations gave a little larger growth
In vine, but only 19 bushels of peas,
because they did not get ripe. On ac
count of Its adaptability to different
«oils, different ways of planting, ease
of farm management and response to
dry farm methods or irrigating prac
tice, the field pea Is one of the eas
iest managed crops.
The pea Is both for >ge and a grain
crop. Pea hay properly made Is a
roughage unexcelled by any other.
Poorly made pea hay Is poor stuff

These troubles are absent when

prop
erly made and cured hay Is fed. The
threshed peas are highly nitrogenous
food. They are specially valuable for
young, growing stock. Except for
lambs or pigs which have good teeth
and can grind their food, peas should
be chopped or ground. Pea hay
which contains ripe and partly ripe
peas will make the horses slick and
shiny In the spring and will put good
fat on any kind of stock.
Asparagus Seed.
Order asparagus seed now and start
your own plants. It pays to buy seed
from special growers who sell selected
seed from rust-free plantations. Make
ground rich so the roots will

Asparagus Is a good-paying crop. It
brings in cash early In tbe season

IRRIGATION OLD AS HILLS
Nature of Crops so Varied That
Amount of Moisture Needed Must
Be First Ascertained.
lily It. U I'AItSIIAl.I., Colorado Agricul
tural College.)
Irrigation is as old as the hills,
and is artificially supplying moisture
to the soil for the growth of plants.
In all these years the science of Ir
rigation has not been made exact.
Nature Is so varied that Irrigation
must be made to meet the existing
conditions.
Soil is composed of minute parti- |
cles. Irregular In appearance, and, I
when collected Into a mass, there Is
a certain part of this that Is space,
and In this space water may be
stored. It Is this water so held In
the soil that is useful to the growth
of plants. A certain crop must have
a certain amount of moisture for
Us needs; too much may be detri
mental; not enough may cause the
loss of the crop, but fortunately tbe j
limits are wide. The particular ques
tion always arises- What is the re
qulred amount of'water for a maxi- I
mum yield?
We first find that soils differ In !
the !
j
their make-up; different subsoils;
slope of the ground varies in differ
ent localities, and general climatic j
conditions may be different. All these
considered. It may be said that what
would be the proper amount to !
supply In one ease may be too much
j
or not enough in other cases. Effi
cient Irrigation consists In supplying
the requisite amount of moisture to
the soli, and this may be accomplished
by adding water to the ground, or
regulating the drainage. It has been
said that good plant growth will re
suit if we have one pound of free
moisture in the soil to about ten

plants a sample of the soil, which
should be an average from the top 1

th
Clearing New Ground.
Plowing with grubbing and pulling
out the larger stools Is the only
method fully Indorsed by most prac- ]
tlcal farmers in the Infested regions.
The general method Is to go Into the
field with a strong team, heavy plow j
and two or three men. All except the
largest plants can be turned out with
the plow. The largest must be
grubbed out or pulled with horse and
chain. After picking up the plants j
that are thoroughly loosened the
piece Is gone over with a spring tooth
harrow to loosen up and drag out the
rest. The plants are piled, and In 48
hours, If the weather Is dry, all ex- I
cept the largest roots will burn. Three )
men with a strong team will clear up
from one-fourth to three-fourths of an
acre a day.
Feeding Cows.
I always feed after milking and feed |
grain or cut the feed or silage, says j
a writer In an exchange. Cows stand j
better to milk and pay whole atten- i
tion to milking and give down much i
better, knowing that they get feed I
when through.
LIVE STOCK NOTES.
A draft horse Is always In demand. ;
Feed all animals a balanced ration,
A good brood sow should be
kept.
Do not feed the horses all the hay
well
they will eat.
Ample feed should be always kept
before the sheep.
Turnips, carrots and sugar
make fine feed for sheep.
See that the live stock have careful
attention and plenty of feed.
Keep the sheep pens clean.
beets
Dirt
and foul odors affect sheep quickly,
Do not allow tho brood mare to
stand In the barn without any exer
else.
Water Is cheap, but It Is a neces
sity for sustaining the life of the
stock.
While the work horses are not do
ing heavy work, their feed should not
be very heavy.
Do not neglect to give the sows a
chance to eat some clover hay or corn
stalks each day.
Feed that will keep the bowels open
Is the best for this time of the year.
Wheat bran helps to do It.
Pure bred colts will sell for more
at one or two years of age than will
grade horses when fully mature.
Keeping animals on the farm
that do not pay profits Is a poor way
to succeed In accumulating prop
erty.
Perhaps no other kind of animals
on the farm are so likely to be neglect
ed In regard to exercise as brood
sows.
Oats are considered by many horse
men to be most valuable. They are,
however, very expensive, and many
other feeds have taken their place.
Be sure that tbe pigs are not lousy.
Kerosene oil rubbed on a bog's back
Is good for lice. But look out and
not have it too strong, and do not rub
loo hard, or you may make a blister
