A Having ImnIement.

The bull rake, go devil or bucker, as
it is sometimes called, has large teeth
10 inches by 2 inches, tapering up to
larger size next to the frame of the
rake. These teeth are Z feet long The
hay gathering portion of the teeth is y
or feet long, and the other % inches
is bolted TO the frame and axle. The
axle consists of hollow iron tube
about 2 inches in diameter. The
frame is about ii inches high and serves
to stop the hay as it slips back ON the
rake teeth. A seat beam reaches out
five feet or so behind the rake, and the
drivers weight will balance the teeth
and hold them up when he sits near tho
outer end Of this beam and allows them
to run low and gather hay when he sits
close TO the frame, while some other
machines have lifting gear for this
purpose. The rake is IL feet wide and
consists of ID teeth. 1t is drawn by two
horses. one hitched on each side of the
rake. beams being arranged to which
singletrees can attach, and a long beam
also towhich the pole and breast straps
fasten for guiding the rake and back

yield of seed varies from as low as 10
to as high as 100 bushels per acre. the
average being about that of corn, from
20 to 40 bushels.
This crop is a heavy potash feeder

with potash and phosphorio acid when
grown on such lighter soils as are def

SOY BEANs.

peanut alone exceeds il in the amount
and digestibilitv of its food constitu
ents. The soy bean requires about the
same class Of soils as Indian corn and
will grow about as far north as that
crop can be depended on. The best re-
suits with it have been obtained in the
region between the thirty seventh and
forty fourth parallel east of the Rocky
mountains The region best adapted to
it. then, is the corn belt, circum-
stance which argues well for its future
use and value in conjunction with corn
for fattening animals.
The soy bean should be planted i'll
late spring or early summer after the
ground has become warm. In general
the early varieties should be used if "a
seed CROP is desired aud the medium or
late varieties if it is TO be used as for
age. it having tecn found that the lat
ter much excel the former in value for
that purpose. In some parts of Virginia
the soy bean is planted IN the corn rows
in alternate hills or between the rows at
the time of the final cultivation. Usual
ly, however, it is grown as main crop,
either broadcast for forage or in drills
when cultivated for seed. The amount
of seed required when it is sown Ill
drills is less than when planted broad
cast, varying from two to three pecks
per acre and in the latter case three to
four pecks The rate of growth is quite
rapid, and unless the field is very weedy
the crop does not require much cultiva-
ton.
The crop should be cut for hay from
the time of towering until the pods are
half formed Later than that the stems
are coarse and woody and the feeding
value rapidly declines.
The crop may be converted into good
silage and for this purpose should not
be cut until the seed is nearly ripe. The
chief value of silage is that il provides
succuleut food during the winter time
when green forage is not available, but
as certain changes take place in the
silo, which render a large part Of the
protein indigestible it is better to de-
pend upon corn than to use any legu-
minous crop for this purpose.
The ripe soy beans are among the
richest of concentrated foods. The yield
varies, according to soil and season,
from 6 to / 3 tons of green forage. The

"If the science Of surgery had been
advanced as far in lS6l-5 as it is today,
we would not see SO many veterans of
the civil war going about with stumps
of legs and arms, said DIR. Hayden to
a party of friends with whom he was
talking about the war.
Surgeons nowadays resort to ampu-
tation as seldom rs possible, and by
treatment preserve the injured member,
where 30 years ago the first thought
would have been to operate. A cousin of
mine in the Confederate army got a
bad wound i'm the leg, and when the
surgeon proposed to amputate the suf-
ferer stoutly resisted. Pulling pistol
from beneath his pillow, he swore a
dreadful oath that he would shoot dead
the first doctor that undertook to saw
off his leg. They took him at his word
and made no further efforts at operat-
ing. Today he is travelling about the
world, successful business man, with
pair of as good legs as anybody"
The use of the X ray has contributed
largely to the advance made in surgery,
aud as the methods of its employment
are improved it will become still a
greater faasor. CARL SCHoFIEID.
