Value Of the Soy Bean.

Messrs. Editors: The soy bean is
one OF our most valuable crops. In
making this statement l do not I'M
der-rate the cowpea. Our farmers al
ready know the value of the cowpea,
but the soy bean is not so we'll known
and therefore is not appreciated as it
should be. l have never fed hay that
stock relished more than soy bean
hay. 1t will grow in almost any kind
of soil, from the stiffest clay to the
lightest sand, from our dryest lands
to lands that are too wet to grow
cowpeas. 1t is crop that we can
we'll afford to get acquainted with.
Plant them until the middle of
June, or later. If sowed broadcast for
hay, use from to 5 pecks per acre.
If planted in rows from 2 u to feet
apart, half bushel per acre will
suffice. If they fail to make a salts
factory growth, examine the roots
and see if the bacteria containing
nodules are on them. If they are
not, procure soil from some field
where they do make a satisfactory
growth and apply as for other le-
gumes and the trouble will likely dis
appear. T. B. PARKER.

Hints on Home Canning.

have tried many kinds of cans.
but for home use l like the glass
can with an acid-proof top best. The
glass cans cost more but will last a
life time with careful handling.
The tin cans are useless after be-
ing emptied and while filled will
rust. Glass cans will keep the con-
tents indefinitely.
My advice is to buy plenty Of glass
cans with acid-proof tops, fill these
with the best fruits. vegetables and
pickles. preserves, jellies, juices and

meats. This is where the profit comes
in canning.
l tried beans, peas and corn for
four years. Lost all every time. At
last l learned how to keep these as
easily as fruit.
The preservation of foods by can
ming depends on absolute steriliza-
ton. The flavor depends on selec-
ton of foods and length of time
cooked. Poorly favored foods cannot
be made good by canning, and good
foods may be rendered flavorless by
canning, and yet be preserved.
For exhibition, it takes the best of
foods, work, patience, endurance and
perseverance.
| have used three methods of can
ming. Cooking foods in jars in the
oven; cooking in jars in boiling
water, and stewing before it is put in
the jars. like the food cooked in
the jars in water bath best.
Sugar improves the flavor of most
fruits. Salt helps to preserve most
vegetables.

CHEAP LIME FOR SOUTHERN SOILS.
Over Large Areas Of Mississippi Alabama
Abundant Supply OF Lime Rock Be and
Put on the Cars for Seventy-Five Cents a

In eastern Mississippi and western
Alabama is a large area where soft
or rotten lime rock is abundant and
crops out on the surface at numer-
Gus points, making it easily obtain
able. For instance, this town of
Starkville. Miss. is situated on a de-
post of lime rock something like 500
feet deep. and along the line Of the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad in this
State are numerous places where the
lime rock is abundant at the surface.
This soft lime rock can be ground
and put direct on the cars from the
crusher at cost of rs cents a ton,
and with a satisfactory freight rate
could be delivered to any part of Ala
bama and Mississippi at a price such
as would make it profitable for gen.
eral use by the farmers Of these
States. Here is an opportunity for
the development Of a paying enter
prise by the railroads, or in co-opera-
ton with the railroads, by any indi-
vidual who will properly eduip
plant for grinding the soft rock. so
abundant in this section.
AS stated, many Of our soils need
this lime and with it in such abund-
ance right here in our midst it does
seem strange that greater use Of
it does not rapidly develop.

tats ioho ahu a6Cp Out Juot uOW
u lime is being prescribed for all
the ills OF worn and unproductive
soils. This, as most fads, has some
truth as the basis for its existence.
Many lime soils are rich and many
soils deficient in carbonate Of lime
are infertile. Soils rich in lime, pro-
viding they possess certain other
qualities, are especially adapted to a
wide range Of varieties OF crops. par
ticularly the grasses and legumes,
which are the essentials of soil i'm
provement. Lime alone will not
make productive soil. and many
soils are highly productive without
large quantities OF carbonate of lime;
but lime is of great Importance in
relation to the upbuilding Of South
ern soils. and other things being
equal. the soils rich in cabonate Of
lime are much to be preferred. Ex-
cept in limited areas, Southern soils
are generally deficient In carbonate
of lime and consequently an unusu-
ally large per cent OF our soils is
sour and in such mechanical or phys
ical condition as to be greatly bene-
fitted by liberal applications Of lime.
Many parts of the South are SO far
distant from the areas OF lime rock
that the high cost Of transportation
renders lime for agricultural purpos-
es available only prohibitive prices
Where lime rock Is abundant the
soils are usually highly impregnated
with lime and there is no need Of
additional applications: while those
regions far removed are not able to
pay the necessary freight charges in
addition to the original or first cost
of the lime. Calcium oxide or burn
ed lime, has generally been used, but
when the cost OF the lime and freight
charges cause ii to cost the farmer
above, say $500 ton, it becomes too
high for agricultural use, except on
certain otherwise valuable soils
which are sour, or for special crops.
or late there has been decided in
crease In the use OF ground lime rock
or carbonate Of lime. The burned
lime Is possibly better for correcting
acidity of soils. but it has no advan-
tages which should give 1t preference
over finely ground lime rock at say
about one-half the price when laid
down on the farm. In general terms
the ground lime rock is more than
half as valuable as burned lime; but
the transportation and handling costs
are greater on two tons OF ground
lime rock than on one ton OF burned
or caustic lime.

Phelps Stokes her interest in certain

has an interest in the same parcel OF

had made reciprocal Wills whereby II
one died the other would get her inter
est in the property. But after making
her will, Miss Caroline Phelps Stokes
conveyed her interest to a stock cor
poration, which issued her stock In
return. The question raised was
whether olivia Stokes was entitled to
this stock under the will in view OF
the fact that she had agreed to pay

quests in her sisters will. The law
yers told the court that the other
heirs Arson Phelps, James, Thomas.
