but was supposed by it's proprietors
to be sufficient for all ordinary pur.
poses. One day in the course of a
discussion the owners were accused

After considerable deep meditation
and with many m~isgivings the road
was ordered changed to an electric
line, and an eighty-horse power equip
ment was ordered. The outfit arrived
and was installed but for some rea'
son failed to operate properly. An
outside expert was then called in to
examine the plant and locate the
trouble. At a special directors meet
ing he reported that the rated eficien'
cy Of the plant was eighty horse
power, and that eighty horsepower
were being used for the actual opera

excitedly: Eighty horsepower for

for that important post, thus combin-

the post proved exceedingly trying, not
only from the standpoint Of physical

The tents are drawn up from the bot

Their lifted to the height Of the outer
ends of the gaffs and In position to
drop over the tree. The tents are then
let down as far as they will settle.
The smaller the tree the lower they
will sink and the less space will re-
main for the use of the gas. The sur
plus tent gathers on the ground. Two
men can easily handle the apparatus.
The tents are made Of light sailcloth,
oiled with two coats of boiled linseed
Oil and dried. They are II feet In d.
aneter and IA feet high. At the top
Of the tent is a three-quarter inch gas
pipe to keep the tent expanded the full
diameter at all times. At the bottom
Of the tent Is three-eighths inch steel
hoop for like purpose. For each tent
are four ropes running through pull
ley block at the top and outside the
tent. These ropes run through the top
and down the inside of the tent at the
four quarters, through rings to hold
them in place, to the hoops at the bot
tom. This plan telescopes the tent
when in use.
A single mast Is mortised into bed
piece, firmly attached to frame, sled
like in form, or 1t may be fixed to a
wagon, and guyed with wire to the
corners of the sled. These guy ropes
are attached to the top Of the mast
and are tied to trees. two ahead and
one behind.
Two gaffs are fastened to the mast
and are each long enough to reach the
center of the tents, pulleys are at
tached to the gaffs, and ropes are used
for lifting the tents and placing them
in position. The gaffs can be raised by
q rope attached to the mast, thus en-
abling one to raise the tent in addition
to the telescoping described.

Copper sulphate (blue vitrioD, four
pounds; caustic soda Sodium hydrox-

make fifty gallons.
The solutions of copper sulphate and
caustic soda should be put in the bar

with water and afterward thoroughly
agitated by pumping the mixture back
into the tank through the hose with
nozzle removed. The mixing of spray
preparations OF this sort outside the

SOY BEANS.
why They Sometimes Disappoiat
Farmers at Their First Trial.

r
Soy beans should never be sown
until the soil is thoroughly warm.
They are hot weather plants. Immedi-
ately after planting corn is generally
good time to put the seeds in the
ground. II 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 gigorous plants, and
even for hay better results will gen.
orally be obtained by giving them
more room. They may be cultivated
with weeder 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 a special bean harvester II
the soil is soft enough to permit or
with an ordinary mower, though 1t
should be remembered that the stems
become tough and hard to cut as the
plant ripens, and on this account 1t 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 as soon as the pods
are developed and before they are ripe.
If grown for seed, 1t Is well 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 a 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 fine
growth. But none Of the plants devel-
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 1t 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
on those of the third plot, which, so
