Winter fingered pretty decidedly in the

ground became very white.

T. w. Woods & Sons, of Richmond,
Va, are advertising in the Republican"
Sofa Beans. From the testimony of many
farmers in Virginia and other States the
sofa beans must be the most valuable crop
that can be raised, either for forage or soil
improvement. The beans ground with
corn make one ofthe finest ratons for mich
COWS that has been discovered. They are
also fine for fattening hogs, and produce
large quantities to the acre. The roots are
thickly ''set" with nitrogen nodules, which
make them valuable to the soil. Flowed
under they are as valuable as heavy coat
of manure. The Tazewell lands are now
very fertile, but they can he made much
more SO by modern methods of farming,
and we trust some of our farmers will try
thesoja beans this year. l-
