The Soy Bean.

Prof. Georgcson. of the Kansas cN-
pertinent station, has the following to
say concerning This new forage plant,
he has been testing:
We are now august 24tD harvcSt-
ing Il portion Of the Soy bean crop and
putting it III Il small silo with Il view TO
studying its behavior and feeding value
as SlaGc later on. We have four Vari-
etiCS. OF these two are SO advanced
towards maturity that the leaves have
begun to fell, while the other two are
! later, the seeds being only about half
grown. They are grown in rows thirty
two inches, but ut this stage the plants
, fill out the space between the rows
almost completely. The soil is Il loan
Of only fair quality, has not been ma
nured and has Il pronounced slope to-
wards the south. The yield Of the green
plants is about five and onc-third tons
per acre.
The crop was planted May % and n
and this growth has therefore been
made in exactly three months. It's feed
ing value is Of the best. 1t compares
favorably with clover and alfalfa in
nutritiNe qualities, ana the ripe beans
are only eXcelled by oil meal. Cattle
and hogs eat all parts of the plant
greedily; even the dry bean straw,
thrown into the yard after the beans
were threshcd out, was all eaten by
the cattle. But perhaps the quality
which will be most highly appreciated
by Kansas farmers is the ability Of this
bean to stand drouth. At no time since
we began to grow this plant in 1890
has it suffered from the dry weather;
even the very severe drOuth Of that
year failed to effect it disastrously.
What other plant have we which pos
scsses all these qualities; which will go
through our trying drouth unscathed;
whose nutritive qualities rank with the
very best; which freely eaten by stock,
which will in three months produce
five and one-third tons Of green feed,
or about three tons Of bay to the acre
on unmanured land, and which then
can be cleared off in time for wheat
and will leave the ground in excellent
shape for the drill without blowing?
This is what the Soy bean will do. l
know of no other plant Of which the
same can be said. When these quail
tiles become known 1t must forge it's
way to the front and take a leading
place among our fodder plants. This
is the conclusion ] have come to after
growing it three years at the college
] would be glad to get the opinion Of
those who have tried the Soy bean this
year, especially in places where drouth
was felt severely, and / ask those who
received seed beans from the station
Last winter, if they happen to see this,
to kindly write me their opinion of this
promising fodder plant, together with
the culture it has received.

hear argument upon the case further
then l presumed we could all agree
upon an early day. But I am not
disposed to ask to argue further what
is predetermined, Tor am l disposed to
take any position that will seem to
intimate to the court, to the people, or
even to our critical friends on the other
side. who SO object to any delay III
driving constitutional questions to Il
conclusion,(I say l am unwilling to
take any position which shall seem
to ask any time needlessly, yet l could
not IL less than three or four days,
during the present assignment, prepare
suitably for the argument, i'll case the
court shall be disposed to entertain
it.
Il believe that presents all that is
necessary by Way of explanation of
the position we have taken OF course
the court will prefer to look over this
answer for itself. l will file this"
Senator Villas then handed the an
sWer to the clerk, While Chief Justice
Lyon said:
We will consider your matter as
soon as we have an opportunity"
Neither Col. Bird nor Gen Estabrook
made any reply to Senator Villas, and
the court resumed the hearing of some
other case.
The supreme court made no an
nomcement during the day as to
whether it would grant the motion and
receive the answer. A ruling is, how
ever, expected this morning at 10
O'Clock.

Charles A. Dreis, a prominent and in
fluencial member of the German
American club, this morning, and re-
quested him to state what the proba-
Bile action of the club would be with
regard to mayor, but that gentleman
was as mum as an oyster on that SUBJ
ject, stating that while he had his own
mind made up and believed he could
spot the candidate most popular with
the club and the one who would re.
ceive the endorsement tonight, he
was not at liberty to say anything
about the matter just at this time.
The doctor said, however, 81 fee
no hesitancy in stating that / shall
place the name of DIR. ]. c. j. King
before the club for endorsement as a
candidate for alderman of the Fourth

and if so will win easily. There is nj

What I Know About Hardware and
Why Times are Hard Here.

I. The prevailing habit of living
beyond the income. 2. The habit of
buying goods on long time at high |
prices. 3. The importation of many
million dollars worth of goods that
could be produced at home. a. The low
prices of cotton. S. The communis-
tic sentiment which prevents foreign
capital from developing the state, are
the causes. Texas has served notice
to all railroad builders that she has an
autocratic commission with powers to
confscate their property. She has
served notice to foreign money Lend
ers that land, the only available Sc
curity, must be defended in court
against confscation. Foreign jobbers
and manufacturers have been duly
notified that all credits in Texas are
based solely on the honor Of her mer-
chants, for our laws encourage fraud
and protect it. Every one going into
business in Texas will soon learn that
our laws are worthless for collection
of debts and that o5 per cent of his
cutomers can do as they choose
about paying. The only rem
edy against hard times is to
remove the causes. Do you ever

ance for IS cents; the even balance

AMERICAN CATTLE IN ENGLAND.
English Beef Raisers Said to Be Trying Il
Get Up Another Scare.


There is probably diplomatic scheme COW
cred in the announcement from London that
pleuro-pneumonia has been discovered among
the cattle landed at Deptford from New York.
1t is regarded as a fraud designed to interfere
with the progress Of Secretary Rusk's efforts to
have all restrictions removed from the importa-
tion of American cattle TO England.
The requirement that American cattle must
be slaughtered at the docks within ten days
after landing is a great hardship, compelling
their killing when they are not in condition
and involving a heavy loss. The only
grounds for this discrimination are
on the assumption that there is pleuro-pneumo-
mia in this country. Secretary Rusk's procla-
nation that the disease no longer existed In
this country removed this excuse and the pros
poets at once became brighter.
The accession Of Gladstone to power greatly
increased the chances that the restrictions
would be removed. Secretary Rusks move
seems about to be crowned with success and il
is apparent that the English cattle men, seeing
this, are trying to get up another scare.
In the diplomatic game Uncle Jerry had got
the best Of the English.
