RACK FOR SOY BEANS
Handy Device for Supporting
Crop While Being Cured.
Nay ls Allowed to Wit and 10 Then
Raked Into Windrows and Piled
Over Frames-space for Air
10 Made In Center.

For hay, soy beans are cut with the
mower, and as soon as wilted raked
into small windows. They are al
lowed to dry here for a short time
and should then be put into small
shocks and allowed to stand until
well cured. says a Kentucky bulletin.
Experience is necessary in curing soy
bean hay, but those who have made
cowpea hay will find less trouble in
curing that Of soy beans. A CORE
spondent writes in regard to curing
cowpea hay that he sets posts about
one foot into the ground. nails cross
pieces ear the bottom and knocks
the hay over the posts as 500 as cut.
The forkfuls Of pea vines are
slipped over the post, which Is sharp
ened, a good-sized shock Is made. No
further attention is given until the
hay Is cured. He claims that the hay
cured in this way is Of extra fine
quality, but does not say how much
time 1t takes to handle the hay In this
manner 1t would probably not prove
practical on a large scale, but Is
worth trying with a small crop.

USE ALFALFA FOR PASTURES
Any Field May Be Profitahly Pastured
n Proper Precautions Are Ia
ken-Fine for Hogs.

Considerable difference Of opinion
exists regarding the pasturing of al
falfa, and for this reason the following
advice from the Nebraska station will
be of interest:
"An alfalfa field may be probably
pastured If proper precautions are
taken. 1t Is especially valuable for
hogs, is good for horses, and If mixed
with grasses can be safely pastured by
cattle and sheep. Some farmers prac.
tice pasturing with cattle and sheep
and state that their losses from bloat
r not great enough to offset the
value Of the pasture. II pasturing 10
attempted, great care should be taken
to see that the cattle are not hungry
when turned or the pasture and that
they have a sufficient supply Of other
forage available. The danger from
bloat Is always present.
Alfalfa should never be pastured
the first year, and should never be
pastured heavily. It Is better to pas.
ture lightly enough to allow at least
two cuttings to be made during the
season, and better results can be &c.
cured II the normal number Of cut.
tings r made. Stock should not be
allowed to pasture Immediately after
a cutting. unless there is a portion Of
the field which has not been cut"

Another continuance often used In
curing soy bean or cowpea hay Is H.
Illustrated here. The hay is allowed to
wilt and Is then raked into windows
and piled over these frames. Being
held up from the ground and having
an air space in the center of the
shock. the hay, Of course, cures quite
rspidly. This apparatus appears to be
Fore practical than the one described
above.
Neither soy bean nor cowpea hay
keeps well in a stack unless given a
good covering Of timothy or other
grass, because the coarseness of the
stems allows the water to penetrate
so readily. The stacks should also be
made on brush, rails or boards to
keep the hay from becoming damp
and moldy at the bottom.

AS to whether 1t pays to cultivate

onstrated by experiments.
The claims of some poultry raisera
sound stranger than fiction. Perhaps
they r based on a few facts.
It is a slow process grading up
horses, and the best way Ia to buy a
pure bred mare and breed to a pure
bred stallion.
The colt we'll treated will take lots
of education the first year. 1t will
save much grief to man and colt at
breaking time"
Every farmer should raise his own
horses. Mares will do as much work
as the average farmer needs and
raise a colt besides.
Cut OF the upper two-thirds Of an
old wash tub, put poultry netting over

bran or dry mashes for mature birds.

The shrewd farmer is finding more
than n way in which to meet the
