A New Fodder Crop.

The sofa bean is one of the newer fod-
der plants that are not sufficiently appre-
ciated, according to The American Agri-
culturist, authority for the following
The sofa bean is leguminous or clo-
verlike plant, which seems to possess
great facility for getting its nitrogen
from the air. The dry matter in either
the green fodder or straw of the sofa
bean contains twice as much fat and
protein as in fodder corn, while the
grain Is hardly exceeded in richness by
cottonseed meal Indeed, it is probably
true that "these beans are the richest
known vegetable substance" and as
they can be raised in any climate or soil
that will mature corn. this crop enables
the northern farmer to raise concentrate
ed feed instead of buying it.
The medium green variety is best fol-
forage, being leafy and suoculent. In
fairly fertile soil it will produce 10 to
10 tons of green fodder per acre. 1t
should be sown in drills az feet apart,
using 1 to ID bushels of seed per acre.
Sow about corn planting time and cul-
tivate freely early in the season. 1t will
produce valuable fodder for stall feed.
ing in August or early September, to be
fed green or put into the silo in the pro-
portion of one part sofa bean to two
parts of corn. Such silage is balanced
feed for milk cows. The black variety
is good fodder plant, but not equal tC
the green. Both kinds will ripen seed
wherever the larger kinds Of corn ma
ture. Owing to the wonderful root de
velopmento of the medium green variety,
it has an admirable effect on the soil
when the stubble is plowed under. Like
the action Of alfalfa on land adapted tc
that crop, the sofa bean brings to the
upper strata of soil plant food from be-
low.

Ranairing Pnanmatio Tires

Experienced repairmen and riders
know that fiat rubber patch is the only
satisfactory repair for tire puncture, and
the Morgan & Wright form of tire is the
only one which can be patched in this
way. In fact, no other form of tire can
be permanently repaired. The Morgan
& Wright tire can be taken apart when
necessary. A tire in which the inner tube,
valve, stem and outer casing are all man.
ufactured in one piece may seem simple
to the new rider, and of course all the
manufacturer of such tire has to do ii
to slap all the parts together and cook
them in lump, so to speak.
But this is not real simplicity. If you
postage stamps get stuck together, yor
are the loser. The parts of a pneumatic
tire are worth great deal more than pos
tage stamps, and any repairman will tel
the rider that sometimes an accident hap
pens which can only be fixed by taking
the tire apart If the tire is of the all
stuck together kind it cannot be taker
apart. and must be considered ruined.
Some people, who have not studied
this matter, have asked Morgan & Wrigh
to make the all-stuck- together kind, blu
they haye always refused, because the,
know that the regular Morgan & Wrigh
tire gives the least trouble and the mos
comfort to the most people.

The success achieved in Grand Isle
county has been such that the methods
there adopted have been made the sub
ject of bulletin from the state station,
as worthy of adoption in other sections:
Sandy or gravelly soils are preferred,
without much reference to slope. Bud
ded nursery stock two to three years old
is chosen for planting. though some pre-
fer setting native or hardy stock and
making a top by grating. All CONNER
cial orchards are Systematically cult
waited. Barnyard manure is used in
orchards with and without fertilizers
containing more phosphoric acid and
potash. Wind breaks are found valu-
able. Various methods of securing pro-
lection from winds are in vogue Spray
ing is an accepted practice Apparatus
and methods vary. Top grating is
easily done in spring and is frequently
practiced. Favorite varieties are North
ern Spy, Rhode Island Greening, Bald
win, Fameuse, Talman's Sweet, Pound
Sweet, Golden Russell, Ben Davis,
Yellow Bellflower and Arctic. Apples
are picked directly into barrels and are
usually sent to market early. Some are
held in storage. On the whole, paying
prices are realized.

At the New Hampshire station test
of 56 varieties of tomatoes was made
last year. According to report on re-
suits, the varieties best suited to New
Hampshire are those having an early
maturity, ripening the bulk of their
fruit by September. The following va
rieties were placed ON the rejected list:
Early Richmond, Earliest of All, Bright
and Early, Ponderosa, Early Leader,
Morning Star, Wisconsin Climbing and
Large Yellow. All of the Landreth
crosses, together with Buckeye State
and Virginia Corker, are too late for
this climate
The varieties making the best gener-
al showing were Belmont, Early Mich
tgan, Acme, Brinton's Best, Beauty,
Red Cross, Waldorf, Fordhook's First,
Stone and County Fair. These are
named in order of productiveness.
The varieties making fair showing
were Red Bird, Lon Keeper, Dwarf
Aristocrat, Chenery's Early, Conference,
Puritan, Autocrat, No. 105, Optimus,
Perfection, Ignotum, Fortune and Dwarf

Nitrate of soda is seldom used in the
compromising of the fertilizers sold in
Ohio, for the reason that a much cheap
or source of nitrogen is found in the
refuse of the western slaughter houses.
Moreover, nitrate of soda is an easily
soluble salt, and it is doubtful whether
it is advisable to use it in the fall, at
which time most fertilizers are applied
in Ohio. In our experiments it is ap-
piled only in the spring, after growth
has begun in the case of wheat, or at the
time Of planting in the case of spring
crops. If sown ON wheat about the mid
die of April and timely rain follows,
the effect of the nitrate will be oonspic-
uously manifest i'll short time.
In effectiveness dried blood stands be-
low nitrate of soda, but it is probably
preferable to nitrate of soda for fall use
because its nitrogen is in a less easily
soluble form than that of nitrate of

GROWING BIG ONIONS.


The New Culture as Practiced by a Min
nesOta Farmer.
A contributor to The National Stock
man and Farmer, writing from Free
born county, Mimi, says:
OF all the large varieties of onions,
the Prizetaker has given me best re-
suits, but it requires long season for
full development. In our cold latitude
the safest way is to start the plants IN
der glass early enough to have them Of
good size by the time the ground is in
condition. Transplanting so many plants
may seem like big job, and it is, and
yet it is scarcely more than are the first
hand wedding and hoeing where seed
is sown in the field. There is great
gain, too, in having well filed rows of
evenly distributed plants. No seed drill
will place the seed exactly right-it
leaves either too many or too few. Some
of the seeds fail to grow, and the plants
come up uneven, but the transplanting
plan gives even rows.
Onion plants are hardy enough to re-
cover from the effects of transplanting.
If the soil about the plants is dry when
they are taken up. the threadlike roots
are apt to break off close to the bulb.
To prevent this, the soil should be wet
until it is soft before plants are taken
up. Before beginning to transplant /
have the ground thoroughly fitted and
all marked off in long straight rows.
Then several hundred plants are taken
to the field at a time and kept thorough
| ly wet during the work of setting out,
which is done with a sharp fiat stick
or dibble. set the plants nearly six
inches apart. used to set at four inch
es, but prefer to give plenty of room.
Even if one gets ON an average six
ounce onion (many single bulbs weigh
between one and two pounds) for every
half foot of space, that will give yield
of 400 bushels per acre when rows are
18 inches apart.
The time to transplant is when the
soil is moist, as 1t is day or two after
rain. One can then do SO much better
work and do it SO much faster that it
pays to wait and watch for the right
time. When the surface soil is dry and
loose, it is difficult to make suitable
holes in it. When the dibble is drawn
out, the soil falls in and half fills the
hole Then if the plant is inserted its
roots coil up into knot and are in dry
soil and too near the surface.

The Live Forever Pest.

The following plan has proved effect
I've in getting rid of live forever in at
least one case: Fence off a small portion
at time and turn in hogs, which are
very fond of the weed and will devour
it greedily, roofing up the ground to get
the little tubers. By permitting the
hogs to till this soil thoroughly they
will eradicate live forever, root and
branch, in a more thorough and mex
pensive manner than can be done in any
other way. At least this is what Con-
necticut farmer writes to The New Eng
land Homestead. Another farmer wrote
as follows: "Turn hogs on the land In
early spring, and they will clean up
the roots completely, or salt if placed
upon each plant will kill -

SILKWORMS OF LEBANON.
How They Are Cultivated In the Noun
tains of Tripoli.

How They Are Cultivated In the Noun
tains of Tripoli.
Harry Fem, the artist, has written a
paper, entitled 'Silk and Cedars,' for
st. Nicholas, describing his visit to
the famous mountains of Lebanon.
Concerning the silk industry, which
plays such an important part in the
lives of the natives, Mr.. Fem says: AS
the time approaches for the silkworm
to hatch out the egg the family move
out Of the house and camp under the
trees, giving up the entire establishment
to the worms, after having placed the
eggs ON shelves made of a reedlike
bamboo. At first the young worms are
fed on finely chopped leaves, but as
they grow larger the leaves need only
be broken in two. The people have to
feed and watch the worms night and
day, or they wander in search of food
and get lost, and in the silence of the
night the sound of the worms feeding
is like gently falling rain.
The worms fast three or four times
during this period, and about "a hours
Is the length of each fast. A curious
feature about their fast is their posture
They assume the attitude of a cobra
snake about to strike and remain rigid
ly fixed in that position for the entire
period. When they are ready to spin,
small branches are placed ON the
shelves, and as the cocoons are formed
upon them the dead twigs seem to bear
golden fruit. When the worms get
through that part of the business, the
neighbors are called something as
to an old fashioned New England APP
pie pairing bee. They call it "qtaf" in
Arabic-that is picking and soon
you see piles of pale green, pure white
and golden yellow cocoons heaped upon
the floor. Later they may be spun into
hanks, but usually the cocoons are sent
down the mountains to Tripoli or Da-
mascus and after their 80 or 40 days
of toll they, too, often have to sell the
produce for next to nothing, as the Chi
nese are always ready to undersell them
Another curious use Mr.. Silkworm is
put to is to soak him in vinegar for
some hours, after which he is drawn out
into so called "catgut' to make smells
or leaders for flehhOoka

with this sand, cattails and grasses can
be arranged much more gracefully, the
sand being heavy enough to hold them.
