Distribution of Soy {Soja) Beans.

The n. c. Agricultural Experiment
Station at Raleigh, desiring to extend
the cultivation of Soy Beans has pro-
posed to distribute a quantity Of seed
to careful planters desiring to test
their merits. The only condition is
that each applicant send 10 cents in
postage stamps to pay cost of trans
portation by mail. Enough seed will
be sent to each applicant to plant LILO
acre. The first 400 applications will
be filled in the order received.
The Station regards this as a very
vaIuabl forage plant. 1t is of upright
growth to3 feet high and is legu-
mine capable of adding nitrogen from
the air to the soil in which it grows. 1t
IS planted in hills or drills . II to 1-2
feet apart according to richness of soil,
and IS to "a inches apart in the row.
1t can be planted any time from March
to July, either alone or in the corn row
between the corn. and to beans are
usually planted in each hill. Soil suit
able to it and the general preparation
is the same as for corn. When planted
for corn both crops can be ensilaged
together, and the corn ensilage will be
much improved by the combination, or
the plants when planted alone can be
cut for forage before they get too

pods and can be saved by cutting the
whole plant when leaves and pods
have turned a golden hue. They can
easily be beaten out when dry. If cut
ting is delayed beyond this time the
pods Will open and some will be lost
on the ground. 1t will not pay to pick
the beans. 1t is also good table bean,
but requires long time to cook. The
beans parched similar to coffee has
been used as an acceptable substitute,
for it, and at far less cost. 1t has not
the exact aror of coffee, but is re-
commended as cheap substitute
probab bly, just as good and in some ca
ses better than the low grades of coffee
after being adulterated with peas or
beans with a value less than the soy
bean. The Station urges careful trial
of this crop.

ind one of the papers, also one OF the
plants. Can you tell US what it is:
Thinking or believing that it was all
right none of us asked the man his
name, and have no redress. The
plan. sent BIZ him was apparently the
European wild cabbage used often to
adulterate cabbage seed. A communi-
cation was at once sent to a reputa bic
seed house in western North Carolina,
and a reply was promptly received say
ing. 1--WE hope you can help us run the
rascals down. We have heard nothing
from them this season, but last year
we had many complaints from the cas-
tern part of the State, and friend sent
us seed bag. 1t was printed Cabbage
Seed, grown by the Reems' Creek Seed
Garden Co. We investigated the mat
ter and found the parties had lived
near Ashevi]le n c., but could not get
their names to publish them. We
think the .Iunaluska 'oncern the same
parties that swindled the people last
year.
The rascals are smart because they
do not give their names, and the post
offices Junaluska, n. c., and Reem's
Creek, y c. are purely fictitious. for
there are not now, and never have been
post offices by those names.
The penitentiary is the best place for
them. Al. persons are warned not to
buy from such parties, and in fact let
travelling seedsmen alone for there are
enough relia BILE well established deal

The Experiment Station having on
hand last year lin 1899 Crimson clover
seed which had been grown on the
experiment farm. offered through the
press of the state to distribute to ap-
plicants who would pay transportation
charges and who would make careful
trial of same. enough seed to plant 13
acre. There were 1886 persons who ap-
piled for the seed. far more than the
Station could supply, unfortunately.
Indeed a quantity of seed had to be
purchased to send as many as was sup
piled. The first 426 names received
were sent the seed. To others full ex-
PLANTATION was given as we'll as at what
points the seed could be procured. Re-

regard to this most valua BILE forage
crop, and much interest has been crea-

This Congress. nOtWlthStanC-
ing all impressions to the con-
trary, has really disposed of the
tariff more quickly than any pre-
vious Congress that had the
same task to perform. The Nor
'rill tariff was reported to the
House March II, 1860, and passed
that body in the following May,
but did not pass the Senate until
20, 1861, and was
finally approved March ?, 1861,
just before the expiration of the
Congress that enacted it. The
tariff of 1868 was reported in
the House in March, 1882, and
passed in June, but remained in
the Senate till February 90,
1888, and was approved March
3, the day before the expiration
of that Congress. The McKin-
ley tariff was not 50 long before
Congress. but it was longer be-
fore the committee of ways and
means, not being reported in the
House till April 10. 1890. II
passed the Senate i'll September
and was approved October 1,
1890. a month before the election
of a new Congress. The Will

THE ENGLISH OUTLOOK

Great as is the confidence of the Eng
lish people in Mr.. Gladstone, 1t Is by no
means certain that his retirement from
the Premiership and the succession OF
Lord Rosebery may not prove a decided
advantage to the Liberal cause.
There was some fear that the new
Gladstone has been on the Irish ques-
tion. Had this been the case 1t would
have caused IA break in the Liberal ranks
that might have been fatal. But Lord
Rosebery has taken occasion to an
nounce distinctly and emphatically that
the Home Rule policy of the Gladstone
Administration will be maintained faith
fully and with vigor, and has also signi-
fed his entire Endorsement of Mr.. Glad
stones position towards the House of
Lords.
This Is of the more Importance. mas

dition of the evicted tenants. makes no

Lord Rosebery is an earnest Liberal
and II man of brains and energy. In a
struggle with the Peers of the Upper
House the leadership of one OF their own
number cannot fail to add strength and
Significance to the movement. Under the
new Premier, reform for England and
justice for Ireland will go hand In hand.

WOULDN'T DESERT HER BABY,
Now the Little One Is Dying in

In Bellevue Hospital this morning there
were two patients that attracted more

and child. The mother is pretty and
about thirty years old. The child Is only
fifteen months DID. The former is in the
prison ward, the latter dying in the
child's ward. TIT woman gives the
name of Mary Argue.
At l o'clock this morning the woman
walked into the East Twenty-seeona
brown cloak that reached almost to her
heels.
II am not well, sir. she said to the SER
geant; II have no home, II my child. l
Where is your child?" the policeman
asked.
Here" said the woman; and from be,
meath the folds of the big cloak she
brought forth a puny infant; $780,.
She said she nae been a domestic, but
when her child was born she had been
discharged. She refused to say where
of the child.

walking the streets day and night, with
the child in her arms. At last, she said,
she could endure 1t no longer. Tired,
footsore n hungry, she applied to the
police.
An ambulance was summoned from
Bellevue Hospital. The surgeon said he
could not exactly say what allied the
child. but it could not live twenty-four
hours.
The woman cried bitterly when told
she would be locked up for %vagrancy
while her child would be taken to the
hospital, so the ergeant decided to send
her also to Bellevue.
An examination of the child showed
that 1t was in n dying condition, and the
Warden gave orders to call the woman tc
her baby's bedside before 1t died.
