The Soy Bean in the North.

Inc soy bean is being more extern.
slVely grown in the North now than
ever before. 1t is found that il will
do well further north than the cow
pea, and, in fact, that it can be grown
as far north as dent corn thriyes
The farmers of Maine who grow large.
ly only flint varieties of corn also
raise the soy bean in a small way. II
Is believed that this can be made one
OF the principal crops of the North
Its value for the feeding of cattle is
unquestioned, as it is very rich in
nitrogen.
In the growing of this crop success
is possible only when the soil contains
the bacteria that form the nodules
on the roots. In that case the land
VIII only need to have potash and
phosphorus added to it, if 1t needs
any fertilizers at all. The Medium
early Is found to be one of the best
varieties for forage. The land should
be thoroughly prepared before the
crop is sown and the soil should be
kept cultivated. Drilling is of course
necessary If the crop is to be cult
waited. Under such methods a crop Is
regarded as about eight tons.
The forage may be fed green, made
into hay or used in the form of silage
The silage is preferred by sheep owe,
corn silage. 1t is not probable, how
ever, that it will ever take the place
OF corn in the making of sllaee, as II
can be advantageously used as a hay
In some places where both COW peas
and soy beans are being raised the
soy beans are preferred for the reason
that they are much easier to be made
into hay.
In the West, as in the East, the
great need Of the farm is to have a
cheap source of protein. Where
man has hogs that need a protein
feed in winter it is easy to believe
that the silage made from soy beans
would be better than the silage made
from corn, as it would contain more
of the protein so necessary to build
up the muscular system of the swine
The soy bean has been less adver.
tised than the COW pea and is there
fore being grown less extensively. II
seems, however, that it has a wider
range of growth, at least towards the
north, than has the COW pea. 1t will
be wise for our farmers to try a
small plot OF soy beans next spring.

The Prairie Dou Nuisance.

Prairie dogs have been declared to
be nuisance by the laws of Nebraska
and other states. The Nebraska law
goes so far as to declare that any
one having land infested by prairie
dogs and not getting rid of them is
maintaining nuisance. The harbor.
er or these animals is made liable
Tor damages committed on other land
Highway commissioners are instruct.
ed to see that the law is enforced
In the discharge of his duty connected
with the determination of prairie dogs
the commissioner is allowed $500 per
day and expenses and instructed to
add the amount to the taxes of the
land where the work of DISCRIMINATING
prairie dogs is done.
This makes it necessary for the
owner of land to be vigilant in the
determination of the nuisance. The
quickest and cheapest way to get rid
OF the dogs is to poison them and
this is generally resorted to. In max
ing up the poison three ounces of
strychnine and half pound of potas
sum cyanide are put into one quart
OF boiling water. TO this two quarts
OF molasses and a teaspoonful of oil
Oh anlse are added. Then a bushel of
wheat Is placed in a tight receptacle
and the mixture is poured over it,
IL is then stirred, while four pounds
OF timely ground corn meal is poured
into 1t. The molasses makes the liouid
adhesive, SO it will stick to the grains
OF wheat. The object of using the
corn meal is to absorb the superauous
Ilquld or syrup and thus enable the
grains OF wheat to carry a large,
amount of the poison. This poisoned
grain is sown about the places in.
nabited by the dogs. They eat it and
die in large numbers.
There is, however, a decided senti.
ment against the use of the poison.
Ranchmen and farmers hate to handle
III and birds are frequently poisoned as
well as the dogs. There is also some
danger to live stock and children.
Carbon bisulphide has been used fol-
many years in the determination ID
ourrowing animals. 1t is costly, but il
is effective and is still being quite
generally employed. 1t has the adj
vantage of reaching all of the ami
mails; for there are always some prai
RE dogs that will not eat the poisoned
grain. The chemical mentioned is put
INTO the burrows and changes to
gas that kills the anima.s.
