Soy beans should never be sown
until the soil is thoroughly warm.
They are hot weather plants. 1mmedi-
ately after planting corn is generally
good time to put the seeds i'll the
ground. If planted for seed, SOW with
a grain drill stopping up the holes so
as to make rows about thirty-two inch
es apart. When grown for hay or soil
ing, they may be drilled like wheat
using about five pecks of seed to the
acre, but they are vigorous plants, ana
even for hay better results Will gen.
orally be obtained by giving them
more room. They may be cultivated
with a wecdcr or one horse cultiVator
at the outset. Later they cover the
ground and take care of themselves
until ready to cut. The cutting can be
done with Il special bean harvester II
the soil is soft enough to permit OF
with an ordinary mower, though IL
should be remembered that the stems
become tough and hard TO cut as the
plant ripens, and on this account it is
well not to delay the harvest longer
than is necessary. For hay the plants
may be cut soon after they begin to
blossom; for silage rs soon as the pods
are developed and before they are ripe.
If grown for seed, it is we'll to harvest
as soon as the seeds are ripe and be-
fore the pods dry out and begin to
split.
Farmers are liable to make the mis-
take of assuming from first years
experience that the soy bean will not
develop tubercles on their land. In
1900 four varieties were grown in our
forage plots. and all made a fine
growth. But none of the plants dcvel-
oped nodules. In the spring of 1901
three of these plots were planted with
seed gathered from them in the fall of
1900. The fourth plot was some dis
lance away in 1900, and it was decided
to plant seeds obtained from it next
the other three The plot chosen for
| this seed bore in 1900 an imperfect
stand of blue lupines. TO my surprise,
the plants in the three plots that had
borne soy beans in 1900 produced tu-
bercles in 1901 in large numbers, while

face of the rock had been altered, and
rocks were still falling when the three

The "White Faces" on the Range.

As breed the long specialization Of
the Herefords for beef production has
operated to give them a less general
distribution than the ShOrthOrns. but
the strength of the breed lie in this
very fact. its value for grazing pur-
poses and for prime beef production
commands attention. The close uni
formity of type is also noteworthy.
Though among the first breeds to be
introduced Herefords were little known
in the United States until the opening
of the range country. The impetus
which this gave the cattle trade
brought them into prominence, and be-
ginning about the year 1880 rapid
growth has put the white faces second
in point of numbers in this country
