other advantage of the soy bean is
that it grows. with a straight upright
habit and can be seeded in drills so as
to give thorough cultivation the same
as fodder corn. When planted with
r the cowpeas are better because
they climb to some extent up on the
cornstalks, while the soy beans are not
climbers at all. 1t is also said that
cowpea. hay is more easily cured by
common methods than the vines of the
bean; also a small second crop will
grow If the cowpea vines are cut for
hay early in the season, while there is,
no particular growth of this kind from
the soy beans. On the other hand, the
SOY beans are harder than the cow,
peas. They will V stand IL light
frost. which would kill tfle ,cowpeas.
They will terminate and grow in cool
er weather than the cowpeas can en-
dure. 1t is easier to cut soy beans
with a>mower because of their upright
growth and because OF the Tact that
they ripen nearly all. together As

proper oil, so a portion of the time he
was obliged to burn kerosene. But in
spite Of the fact thatsthe thermometer
fell to % for three or four nights in
succession he was able to save the en-
tire crop Of apples on the protected
area, while the fruit on the rest of his
orchard which was not 80 protected
was entirely lost. The expense for
and labor in this case was
about $1,000. but 1t resulted In an
$4,000 crop. This was certainly cheap
insurance. aud the pots are ready for
future use. In another orchard the
owner succeeded in saving an enor-
nous crop of fruit, while just across
barbed wire fence in adjoining Or
chards the crop was an entire loss.
Since then a number of forms of
lleakers. both coal aud oil. have been
invented. and many people have equip
ped themselves with these appliances.

larger the heat produced Is too great
and the beneficial results are lost.
These heaters will burn from three to
five hours without reflling. In plan
ming to protect the orchard In this
way Colorado growers are using 100
of the oil pots per acre. 1t probably
will not be necessary to use this en-

cases. but should that occasion arise

half Of this number will he lighted at
first; then as they burn out the other
portion may be used. In this way the
work Of refilling can be accomplished
without difficulty.
Common forms of crude petroleum
are not satisfactory. for the: reason
that when the OIL and pots8become
hot the oil boils over. causing much
waste and loss Of heat. Growers find.
however. that what is known as gas
oil is fairly free from this trouble. and
1t is the form they are now using In
Colorado. 1t has also been demon

Electrical Propulsion.

rA -r"e-
The projected electrification Of. an
entire division of a great railroad, 40
miles in all. as recently announced by
Mr. Hartman. indicates that q new
era in railway propulsion may be at
hand. Sanguine minds have long been
p~rophesying that the displacement OF
steam locomotives. by electric motors
was at hand.s But the experimental
stage dragged. However, electricity
has made good In special work. for In
stance, for short distance suburban
traffic and for heavy loads on steep
grades.
The cost of identification is NOR
nous judging from the estimate for
the Hartman project-$l9,0O0,OO for
40 miles Of road. But sthe outlay
necessary to prepare the same stretch
of road to handle its traffic satisfac-
torily with steam is estimated at $780,
100000, aud it would take four times
as long to put in the steam Improve
ments as to install electricity. Elec-
IRRIGATION means more trains over the
present tracks because Of greater
speed IN moving and an increase Of
profitable tonnage due to the cutting
out of the 4heavy steam engine or en-
gines from every freight train: The
results Of this experiment on the
Southern Pacific will be to enlighten
other roads which have peculiar trafnc
problems to solve.

as it will grow in any ordinary gar
den soil. 1t is usually propagated by
division Of the roots, because 1t does
not seed readily. The roots or clumps
of roots may be purchased at moderate
prices. The clumps should be planted
in beds about nine inches apart in
rows which are two feet apart. The
planting may be done in either spring
or autumn. The chives may also be
planted in the border of the vegetable
garden and make an excellent border.
AS a border plant the clumps should
be planted about six inches apart.
The leaves will grow thickly and form
a dense green mat.

farm. Unfortunately the recordsof Ills

That these. were severe Is attested by
the fact that the, owner and his family,
with a little hired labor, have cleared
seventy-six acres Of heavily. tAmbered
land, built a comfortable. home, with
substantial. barn, dairy house, silo and
poultry houses, and have developed
under, trying conditions one OF the
best paying farms in the country. In
1906 the gross income Of this farm was
about $1,000. 1t is considerably larger
DOW.
The farm in question is on the west
side Of Puget sound. at the base Of
the Olympic mountains, in Oregon.
The products Of the farm are butter,
eggs. poultry and a small quantity Of
fresh pork. These are carried to mar
ket twelve miles yer a. fairly good

products on his regular market day

Since this farm has been brought TO
its present profitable state by the joint
efforts Of every member of the house
hold it is proper to say that when the
family moved to the farm In 1857 1T
consisted Of man and wife, thrcessJhpy
and three girls, the oldest child being
IL boy of thirteen. The only labor eyer
hired on this farm before the first son.

woodchopper for less than three
months in 1886 to help to do the first
clearing, two carpenters for two
weeks in building the house in 1887
and other assistants for miscellaneous
pieces Of work costing not over 800
during the entire eighteen years up to
the fall of 1905. The father and the
three sons have done the farm work,
MIXED the cows and made the butter.
The household duties have been sys-
tematically discharged by the mother
and daughters, and for several years
the mother and one Of the daughters
have run most Of the poultry business,
