northern part of the corn belt, but
frequently do not make a sufficient
yield to warrant growing them.
Farther south, where the later and
larger varieties can be grown, the
yield is sufficient to make their extern
sive cultivation very profitable. Gen
orally speaking, the soy bean requires
about the same temperature as corn.
1t is perhaps even better adapted to a
warm climate and does not do we'll in
a cool climate.
The soil requirements of soy beans
are much the same as those of corn.
They will make a satisfactory growth
or poorer soil than corn, but will not
make nearly as good a growth on poor
soil as cowpeas. Soy beans make
their best development on fairly fer
tile loans or clays. The Mammoth
variety also succeeds we'll on sandy
soils. On rich soils all varieties are
apt to make a large plant growth and
a comparatively small yield of seed,
and on the poorer soils a small plant
growth with a relatively large seed
yield.
Soy beans do not require a we'll
drained soil for their best develop
ment, although they will not grow in
a soil where water stands for any con-
siderable length Of time. However,
they are able to withstand a greater
amount of moisture than either corn
or In eastern North Caro-
lima on the vegetable mold soils they
make excellent crops. On this &C
count soy beans are especially valu-
able for growing in that region.
Soy beans are also decidedly drought
resistant, much more SO than cow
peas, and but for the de~predations of
rabbits would be a valuable crop in
the semi-arid west. Rabbits are. ex-
ceedingly fond of the foliage, and
where they are numerous it is nearly
useless to plant soy beans unless the
field can be inclosed with rabbit-proof
fencing.

The soy bean is a native of south
eastern Asia and has been extensively
cultivated in Japan, China and India
since ancient times. Upward of 200
varieties are grown in these countries.
practically every district Of which has
its own distinct varieties.
The beans are there grown almost
entirely for human food, being pre-
pared for consumption in many differ
ent ways Their flavor, however, does
not commend them to Caucasian appe-
tites and thus far they have found but
small favor as human food in either
Europe or America.
AS a forage crop, however, soy
beans have become Of increasing i'm
portance in parts of the United States,
especially southwark. They have been
tested at most of the state agricultu-
raj experiment stations and it is clear
hat their region of maximum impor-
tance will be south of the red clover
area and in sections where alfalfa
cannot be grown successfully. They
thus compete principally with GOV
peas, but as cultivation is usually re-
quired they fill a somewhat different
agricultural nee Their culture has
greatly increased in recent years., es-
pecially in Tennessee, North Caro-
lima, Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky
and the southern parts of Illinois and
Indiana. 1t seems certain that the
crop will become one of great impor-
lance in the regions mentioned and
probably over a much wider area. The
earlier varieties mature even in Min
nesota, Ontario and Massachusetts.
The soy bean is especially adapted
to the cotton belt and northward into

FARM NOTES.

Butter should be kept away from
the air.
True economy in farm matters is
a wise use Of resources.
The first effect in producing growth
should be to make it gradual.
When the litter in the pens becomes
soiled remove it and put in fresh.
Ventilating the stables is the best
way of repelling u~nfavorable condi-
lions.
Go slow with the teams for the
first few days when spring work be-
gins.
The growing period, when the ami
NAL is young, is the time the frame is
built.
No cud-chewing animal can be kept
in a state of excitement and be profit
bile.
A good growth the first year of the
life of a colt costs less than at any
other age.
One or two sheep lost every spring
takes the profit off Of a good many
that do we'll.
Feed a good variety of food, but
avoid sudden changes; that is, do not
change the whole ration at one time.
The Berkshire hog is more in need
Of exploiting at present han OF any
thing else. The breed is in need of a
promotion and publicity bureau in
every community.

BEST GRAINcROP
Makes an Excellent Foraging Crop for
Poultry-Chickens and Turkeys
Delight in 1t.
(BY A. j. LEGG.)

Wy ~" o. I10S'
Buckwheat is the best grain crop
that we have ever tried to furnish a
foraging ground for poultry.
1 SOW it late in July and allow the
chickens and turkeys to harvest it.
They are all the better for the exercise
and the only cost is for the seed and
work of preparing the soil and SOW
ing 1T.
Late in last July I sowed about one
acre where the chickens and turkeys
could have free access. They began
to work on it as soon as the grains
were filled and have been at work on
1t for nearly two months.
If it is trampled down on the ground
the grains will not damage unless it is
warm enough to sprout them. Buck
wheat will lie on the ground all win
ter and grow in the spring.
A buckwheat stubble makes an ex-
cellent feeding ground for poultry dur
ing pleasant days throughout the fall
and winter season and the poultry en-
Joy the exercise.
Our hens, pullets and September
Matched chickens are all in fine condi-
ton, largely due to the buckwheat to
which they have free access.
The plan of allowing them to har-
vest the bu~ckWheat saves trouble Of
feeding and it also teaches them to de-
pend upon their own efforts to obtain
their food. B~uckwheat whole grain
has a nutritive ratio of 1 to Z, which
can be reduced by furnishing some con-
centrated food.

Fruit for Family Use.

The reason why some people do
not enjoy a plentiful supply of home
grown fruit is that there are so many
poor providers. There are families
which scarcely have a weeks supply
of flour, sugar, of vegetables or other
necessities. If every man was a good
provider for his family more fruit,

1t is best not to feed mixed grains
to growing turkeys, or to old stock.
If one grain is fed at each meal they
will eat up all that is given them un-
