SUCCESS WITH THE SOY BEAN.
Its Value ms n Green Forage Cr0T
In Being Recognised All
Over the Country.

The soy bean as green forage crop
first attracted general attention from
the careful trials at the Massachusetts,
agricultural college. Many years have
been required before dairy men would
try experiments to an extent sufficient
to decide its value, but during the past
few years the popularity of soy bean
has been rapidly increasing both east
and west.
1t is one of the best crops for late
sowing as it will produce heavy
weight of foliage when sown for some
time after the season for planting fod-
der corn, and If the season Is hot and
without early frosts will produce a
large amount of feed, either for dry
fodder or for ensilage, and is excellent
as a producer of milk n cut and fed
green
1t has been grown with success
without inoculating the soil with spe-
cial bacteria which produce the nodules
on the roots, but when grown on soil
not inoculated, the crop the first year
will not be so large as that of the fol-
lowing year, other conditions being
equal.
The crop is cut while In blossom be-
fore the stems become woody. The
yield on the farm, while not equal in
weight to that of corn fodder, is con-
sidered more nutritious weight for
weight and can be grown in a shorter
time with no greater amount of labor
The seed is sown from the middle OF
June to the middle of July or even a
little later. the seed being planted in
drills like fodder corn about one bush
ell to the acre. 1t is ready to feed
green in September and is about W
for silage sometime during that month
in the proportion of about one-thirt
corn to two-thirds soy beans. The cul
tivation of the crop is similar to tina
of corn. the horse weeder and double
cultivator being used with no hant
hoeing.-Farmers' Home Journal.

FEEDING BEEF CATTLE.
The Value of the Different FOrma
of Roughage I'm Produce
Ing Beef.

During the past winter an interest
ing experiment with so head Of beef
cattle was conducted at the experiment
station. The 90 cattle fed silage made
an average gain of LAG pounds per
day; the 90 cattle fed timothy hay LILO
pounds per head per day; and the 20
cattle fed shredded corn slower 81
pound per head per day. There was
thus a difference of one-third to one
half pound of grain per head per day
in favor of the silage-fed cattle. The
siIage-fed cattle finished off the best.
and showed more quality than the 9TH
ers. and in any discriminating market
would have brought a considerably
higher price. The strong prejudice
against using silage for the winter
feeding of beef cattle is hard to under
stand, for it has been fully demon
strated ;ha. silage-fed cattle will kill
out quite as well as the dry-fed cattle,
and the meat is, generally speaking.
of a superior quality. Whereas, the
silage was all eaten up, 1875 of the
slower and 4.16 per cent of the hay
was wasted. The gains show that the
cattle fed were not OF satisfactory
quality. In previous experiments Q
pound of gain has been made for
consumption of three to four pounds OF
grain. The silage-fed cattle in this test
consumed 6.54 pounds of grain for q
pound of gain; the stover-fed cattle
about Ills pounds, or about twice as
much, and the hay-fed cattle, S9S
pounds, or about twice as much, and
the hay-fed cattle 500 pounds. or 2.4t
pounds, or 2.45 pounds more per head
than the silage-fed cattle. With better
bred animals fed in previous expert
ments, the average gain per head pei
day has often been 2.1S pounds through
out the six months feeding period
which again testifies to the unsatisfac'
tory quality of the animals fed in this
test.-Andrew M. Soule, Director Wiz

FEED VALUE OF SOFA GRASS,
It's Worth On the Farm So Great
That Every Farmer should Be-
come Familiar with Ii.

Very few of the farmers In the south
knew the value of the sofa bean until
the Agriculturist began talking about
their feed value, how easily cultivated
ard what nutritious feed for stock.
For years We have been talking about
this wonderful plant, and its worth on
the farm is so great that We expect
to write about it until every farmer
shall become fully informed as to its
value.
Most plants contain the greatest
quantity of nutrition in their stems and
blades when they are in full bloom and
begin forming the seed. The sofa bean
will make the best hay when cut in full
bloom and the pods are forming. The
pods have the greatest quantity OF pro-
tein or flesh-forming ingredients. there

are three-fourths grown, If the plants
