The difficulty of Smelling the velvet bean
matter that it does not seem practical ex-
oept to a limited extent. Threshing up
huIls and beans together make a good
feed for stock or poultry and seems the
most practical way of using them unless
by Smelling in an expensive mill.
The following by a writer in the Flor
ida Agriculturist gives Information that
should be of benefit. The bean has come
to stay for stock feed and soil remover,
and all information about its growth and
harvesting will be of interest:
THE plan with me that has given the
best satisfaction is to have beans picked
for so much per flour barrel. The price
has thus far run from fifteen to twenty
cents per barrel, owing to how plentiful
the beans were. If beans were thick on
the vines children from ten to twelve
years old would gather from three to five
barrels per day, which, you see, gives
very good wages for such hands. flour
barrel of beans in hull, if well shaken
down, will give, if all the beans are Sc
cured in hulliug, a bushel of sixty pounds
of clean beans.
BY the means I have thus far been able
to use, have lost or left in the hull from
one-ffth to one-fourth of the beans. How
ever, Wnere party uOeS MS own nullnS,
or retains the benefits of the hulls, the
amount OF beans left in the hulls would
not be of any great loss to him. The hulls
should be fed to stock or cattle, or used
as a fertilizer. / know of party who
had beans and hulls ground up together,
and used ii on a watermelon patch, aud,
he claims. with better results than from
best cottonseed meal. The hulls are I'M
doubtedly a good fertilizer, even when no
beans are in them. / have seen them scat
tered over the ground, and rank vegeta-
ton followed. Where these hulls were
thrown the soil was discolored after sew
eral rains, and had the same appearance
that follows the application of good to-
bacco stems.
Now, as to cleaning or hulhhg beans for
commercial purposes, l have had poor
success. know of only one machine that
has been used in the state for hulling
that has given satisfaction. This ma
chine is made outside of the state, and
sells here from $120 to $50, according to
size. These prices do not include 10
horse steam power. which is required to
run this huller. The cost of machine and
power is too much for the average far
mer to invest in, and 1t does not pay to
haul the beans to a mill more than five
miles from home.
l have tried the best Georgia pea-huller
and find It a failure with the velvet
beans.
For home use beating on a good close
floor is about the cheapest way OF getting
out beans. IL the beans I'm hull are expos
ed to the sun for few hours. they will
hurst open easily when struck with the
fail.

To those who are so enthusiastic over
every new weed that the seedsmen intro
duce as forage plants, and who are al
ways inquiring about the value here III
the South of this, that and the other
millet or sorghum or Kaftir corn or what
not, l would recommend a careful perusal
of Bulletin No. SO of the Nebraska Agrl-
cultural Experiment Station, says the
Southern Planter. This station has been
making a series of experiments including
two years, for the purpose of finding out
the value of certain forage plants Tor
summer pasturage and soiing. For this
purpose they sowed plots Of one-tifth acre
each in rye, Canada peas and oats, Indian
corn, German millet, sorghum, kafnr
corn, cow-peas. alfalfa, Milo maize, Soy
beans, and Hairy vetch. AS each plot
came ready for pasturage. a porta ole
fence was put around it, and one of the
station cows turned in, and notes taken
of the length of time the forage sustained
her, and the effect it had on the milk flow
and butter fats, as compared with pas
ture of good mixed grasses. Without 60
ing into the details of the work. l wish
to call attention to certain crops grown
and their value, as thus determined after
two years trial In regard to sorghum
the bulletin states that the one-fifth acre
planted to this crop gave an average of
twenty-five days pasture in the two
years.
1t was available at the same time as
millet, kaffir corn and cowpeas. 1t fur
nished more food than any of these, and
had very little less favorable effect on the
milk flow and butter fat production than
Kaffir corn, somewhat less than the mixed
grasses, and very much less than the
cowpeas. 1t makes a rapid growth after
being eaten down, but under some condi-
lions it is fatal to stock, and it's use as
pasturage, when injured by drought or
frost, cannot be said to be safe. Millet
gave inferior results to other things. The
results from cowpeas were obtained from
one year, as the first season they were
sown there was SO large a weed growth
that the test was not made. But in 1900
the seed was sown in rows and furnished
twenty days pasturage. That is, an acre
would pasture a COW fully for 100 days.
Alfalfa came nearest to the cowpeas, but
was dangerous on account of tendency to
bloat Soy beans had a good effect on
the milk flow as the cowpeas, but made
less food, and the bulletin sums up in the
statement: THE experiments indicated
that cowpeas produced an actually great
er quantity of milk and butter fat from
a given area than any other crop. Cal
culating from the average results of the
two years, a cow would have produced
more milk in twenty days on the cowpeas
than she would in twenty-five on the sor-
ghum, In other words. the experiments
show that an acre of land planted 10
cowpeas would produce more milk than if
il were planted to sorghum"

In short. therefore, the chief obstacle
encountered thus far in Florida has been,
not on the manufacturing side, but on the
agricultural; not in the reduction OF the
root, but in the raising of IT. Our farm
ers have hitherto not had marked sue
cess in preserving through the winter the
canes which constitute the seed; and the
result has been with most plantations an
imperfect stand and a light yield. Doubt
less their brethren of Louisiana. with
their experience with winterinS sugar
cane, could have given them valuable
pointers.
But Florida farmers have seldom failed
10 come up to the mark when summoned
by the dollar which we are all after.
We are pleased to learn from private
sources that the extensive cessava plan
tstion at De Leon Springs now presents
an almost perfect stand, few plants miss
ing in rows a mile in length, despite the
uncommon backward weather this spring.
This seems to indicate marked success
in wintering the seed canes.

The cowpea is a gross feeding plant,
and as many of our clay subsoils are
stiff, the land should be deeply broken
and thoroughly puiverized. A fine filth
is OF the utmost Importance in any soil.
The amount of food in the seed is limi-
ted, but this must suffic until the plant
establishes itself in the soil. The failure
of cowDeas on some soils may be traced
to indifferent preparation. As the cowpea
is a heavy feeder. it draws freely on the
phosphoric acid and potash of the soil. 1t
is necessary. therefore, to supply these
fertihzing elements in liberal manner,
especially on thin lands which IL is pro-
posed 20 improve Systematically. T.
