know that in Kent. England, the crops
average 40 to 50 bushels an acre, as

The quantity of seed needed to drill

moist and loose. All you need is
disk harrow or an Acme. Altogether,
the horse bean is an easier and surer
crop than the pea to grow.
And now about its value as a feed
for horses, cattle and sheep. In speak.
ing on this point writer in the Coun.
try Gentleman says: In the first
place, it should be remembered that
peas and beans are very rich in al.
bumen (protein); the legumes-that
Is, peas, beans, etc., are slowly digest.
ed and therefore last long; they make
thick blood, and are constipating.
Furthermore, have always found
them to lessen the milk flow and
stimulate the sexual desire. On the
other hand, beans give a fast, hard.
very desirable meat and fat, and give
animal strength. 1t follows therefore
that beans should not be fed to milch
COWS Though to balance a ration. two
pounds, ground, can be given but for
Woodworking farm horses 1t is excel.
lent. The latter can have beans for
one-third of the grain ration: thus
four pounds OF beans (cracked) mixed
with IL pounds of oats. But do not
feed them to carriage horses, neither
to bearing mares nor to young ami.
mails. 1t is an excellent idea always
to feed wheat bran at the same time.
AS a fattenin., feed for oxen and
pigs, beans are especially to be recon.
mended; they should be ground. and
to oxen six to eight pounds can be
given, mixed with other feed; to
sheep, only one-third to one-half pound
apiece. Toward the end of the fat.
tening period, have found it neces.
sary to leave the beans out and SUBJ.
stitute another feed, in order to i'm.
prove the flavor Of the meat and fat.

this into account 1t Is doubtful If II
can be grown in any of the New Eng.
land states to maturity. In England 1t
is sown as early as January, but in
Germany and Holland not before
March. 1t needs a moist, warm eli.
mate, and deep, cool, moist soil; there.
fore clay and loan and the land along
a river are fine. but dry, sandy and
shallow soils are absolutely not good.
1t needs the same cultivation az
corn, but all work in 1t has to stop
after the poisoning, for then the
growth Of the leaves is so enormous
that they allow no passage. After the
grain harvest this bean will ripen, but
1t is, however, often not cut before Oc-
tober. The time Cor cutting is there
as soon as the top leaves and the bot.
tom pods are black.

Feeding Barley

Barley Is fed everywhere to cows
In Denmark, and where used in this
country gives satisfaction. Here. how.
ever, wheat bran is much cheaper and
much more easily obtained. From
three to five pounds of ground barley
is sufficient for a COW, and even this
should be fed in connection with bran
or some other feed.

A SOD CHICKEN HOUSE.
How a Good Shelter May Be Pro-
vided at a Very Small
Expense.

Those living where alkali grass
abounds, will find poultry house made
from the sod much cheaper and better
than a frame building. If the walls are
laid from two to three feet thick and a
good roof added. 1t will stand from l2
to 10 years before beginning to crumble,
and many more before becoming useless.
1t is well when laying up the sod 10

PORTLAND. August 3.--The long

Az noon today the defendant stepped

the defense might call no more wit.
nesses, but that the rest OF its time
would be short Mt most, Mr.. Heney
said that the Governments reltlttal
evidence would not occupy more than
half an hour,
Mr.. Heney resumed cross examination
of Hendricks when court opened this

of the cross-examination was one Of the

which Hendricks had sent to Fossil for,

tion with Henry johnson, one OF the
homesteaders, in which he said Johnson
told him that the company had been
charging him rent for the house he lived
in, whereas he wasn't to be charged
any rent.
TO this Hendricks testified that he an
swered that he wouldn't charge him any
more rent, that II was not right and he
would drop it. The point in the govern.
ment's case is that the ledger intro
duced, showing the company's account
with Johnson, contains no entry indicat-
ing that any rent was ever charged
against him.
johnson testified that IL was part Of
his agreement with Hendricks that he
was to receive free house rent as part of
the consideration for taking up a home
stead and transferring it to the COM
pany,
Mn Heney introduced and read sew
eral letters written by Hendricks, one
of which was communication to Clark
Il. Loomis, then special agent of the
government, in which he declared that
one Thomas Grant was angry with him
and was trying to make trouble for him
by circulating the report that the com
pany was cutting timber on government

Lieutenant Bennett says that out of a
total Of l06 applicants during July only
20 men were accepted. Out of the same
number Of applicants in any Of the new

Of enlistments would have been as high
as 60 or so. Cigarette smoking is the
principal cause which disqualiies men
