Ior to be used as a green manure,
the seed should be Gown on a we'll
prepared seed bed about May 20
to % in Central Missouri, and
about May 10 to 10 in South Mis-
souri,, putting il in with a grain
drill at the rate OF four or five
pecks per acre. They may be
seeded as late as June Goth.
Soybeans may be grown in the
corn either to hog down or to
be put into the silo. For these
purposes they should be planted
with the corn, using about equal
quantities Of corn and soybeans.
This is more satisfactory than
seeding between the rows at the
last cultivation.
II grown for seed, soybeans
may be seeded in rows about
thirty inches apart using a
peck and a half of seed per
acre. They may be put in at
this distance with the grain drill
by stopping part of the holes.
This allows of cultivation and,
ordinarily, increases seed pro-
duction.
Under Missouri conditions, the
bes. varieties for hay are: Med
ium Yellsw, Mongol and Black
Beauty. For seed production
Morse. Black Beauty, Medium
yellow, Ito San, and Hollybroke
are all good varieties.
The soybean is a Ieguminous
plant, having free nitrogen gath
ering bacteria on its roots. For
this reason it is usually best to
inoculate the soil with the proper
bacteria, although Oh rich land {,
soybeens do fairly well without
soil inoculalioo.
Ono OF the best ways to lnocu-
late a field for soybeans is by
eiyiag a light dressing Of soil
from a field which has been
successfully inoGulated for the
crop and upon which the plants
have shown a good development
of root nodules.

Eradicating Dodder.
BY j. C. Hackleman.

Analyses of samples clover
and alfalfa seed during the past
three years at the Missouri seed
testing laboratory have proven
conclusively that much seed in
tested with dodder is on the mar
ket. This is especially true OF
alfalfa samples. OF the alfalfa
samples analysed during the
pas! three years 1871 per cent
have contained dodder. Red
clover seed, while not so bad,
has shown this pest in 1876 per
cent of the samples.
Dodder is a parasitic plant,
that is, it depends solely upon
the plant on which it grows for
it's substance. 1t Isl a yellowish
leafless vine. The dodder seed
sown with the clover and alfalfa
terminates, the vines begin to
grow up and entwipe around the
young clover plants and as soon
as they are firmly established on
the host plant the connection
with the ground is severed, and
tie roots die. From this time on
the dodder lives by sapping its
food from the tissues OF the clov-
er or alfalfa plant upon which il
grows, by means Of sucking roots
which it sends into the stem.
This causes the death Of the host
plant.
Many remedies are offered for
the handling Of dodder but about
the safest and most satisfactory
one is to cut the infested portion
and after the hay becomes dry
burn where 1t lies. II the dod.
der is only in patches some straw
mightlalso be placed on the spots
before burning SO as TO insure
complete control.
This remedy is rather severe,
OF course, and looks wasteful
but no time can be lost with this
pest. Dodder vines never should
be moved from one part OF the
farm to another to burn for fear
of 8 altering seed, consequently
J The best method Is TO burn where
it grows.

Controlling the Chinch Bug.
BY L. Haseman.

II NOW 10 HOt tue ttttio 10 save tue
wheat from the chinch bug.
Last summer when the bugs
moved from the ripe wheat to
the corn was the time for the
first stroke, and il that had been
followed by burning in the win
ter when the bugs were collected
10 their winter quarters, the
wheat and corn crops would be
safe from chinch bug dam age
this year. Wheat fields badly
infested at this time will produce
but little if any wheat and in
many cases stock might as we'll
be turned in and make use OF il
for pasture.
There is a parasitic plant
which attacks and destroys the
bug. This is what produces the
well known "chinch bug disease"
and when weather and moisture
conditions are just right it works
like q charm but seldom in time
to save the wheat. The spores
OF this disease are always pres
ent in every soil. As soon as
weather conditions become Just
right the disease will start up and
make quick work of the chinch
bugs. With the first change in the
weather, however, the disease
will die out as suddenly as it
started and the chinch bug is
safe. There is absolutely no use
Of distributing diseased bugs be-
cause as soon as they are turned
out in the open the disease dis
apears, except under the proper
weather conditions are right for
the disease, there is no need OF
it for 10 is already present. For
this reason the state and govern
ment workers no longer send out
diseased bugs, having found out
that is simply waste Of energy.
AT this late date the best we
can do is to prepare to save the
crops Of next year. Clip out the
following cautions and paste
Cautions No. 1" in your caIen.
dar at the end Of the month of
June or the first OF July and
"Csution No. 2" on the Novem.
ber or December page.
Caution No. /. The bugs will
crawl from the wheat fields into
corn about the first OF July. Be
prepared to use a dust strip, or
ditch and log, as a barrier aud in
case OF rain run a line of tar or
road oil in front Of them as q
barrier. Find out at once where
and how long It will take to get
the tar or oil. This will save the
corn and help much 10 save next
years crops.
Carlton No. 2. Next winter
after the fret heavy freezes the
bugs will be found collected in
woods, fence rows, scattered
straw, and more especially in
pastures and waste lands over
grown with heavy grasses and
weeds. Select a warm, dry day
when the wind is low and burn
over such places. Join with
your neighbors; it is to big a job
for one man to attempt. Tho

dead white man In that ring of red.
1t was over, yet that little body OF
troopers dared not remain. About
them still, although demoralized and
defeated. circled an overwhelming
mass Of savages capable of crushing
them to death, when they again raj
lied and consolidated. Custer did the
only thing possible. Turning loose the
pony herd. gathering his captives
close, he swung his compact command
into marching column. Before the
scattered tribes could rally for a Sec
ond attack. with fankers out, and Skin
mfshers in advance. the cavalrymen
rode straight down the valley toward
the r%etreating hostiles. 1t was a bold
and desperate move. the commanders
object being to impress upon the In
dian chiefs the thought Of his utter
fearlessness, and to create the impress
sion that the Seventh would never
dare such a thing II they did not have
a larger force behind. With flags IN
furled, and the band playing, the
troopers swept on. The very mad au-
dacity Of the movement struck terror
into the hearts of the warriors, and
they broke and fed. AS darkness fell
the survivors Of the Seventh rode
alone, amid the silent d~esolation of
the plains.
Hating a moment for rest under
shelter Of the river bank, Custer
hastily wrote his report and sent for
Hamlin. The latter approached and
stood motionless in the red glare of
the single campfire. The impetuous
commander glanced up inquiringly.
Sergeant, I must send a messenger
to Camp Supply. Are you fit to go?"
"As much as anyone, General Gus.
ter" was the quiet response. Il have
no wounds of consequence"
Very we'll. Take the fastest horse
in the command, and an Usage guide.
You know the country, but he will be
of assistance. l have written a very
brief report; you are to tell Sheridan
personally the entire story. We shall
rest here two hours, and then pro-
coed slowly along the trail. I antici-
pate no further serious fighting. You
will depart at once"
Very we'll, sir" the Sergeant ga.
luted, and turned away, hating an in
slant to ask: You have reported the
losses, I presume?"
Eyes, the dead and wounded. There
are some missing, who may yet come
in. Major Elliott and fourteen others
are still unaccounted for" He paused.
by the way, Sergeant, while you are
with Sheridan, explain to him who
you are-he may have news for you.
Good night, and good luck"
He stood up and held out his hand.
In surprise, his eyes suddenly filling
with tears, Hamlin felt the grip OF
his fingers. Then he turned, unable
to articulate a sentence, and strobe
away into the night.

The room whirled before him In
mist, the faces vanished; he heard an
exclamation from Shultz, a sharp COM
mand from Sheridan, and then seemed
to crumble up on the floor. There
vas the sharp rustic Of a woman's
skirt, a quick. light step, the pressure

the Generals voice, sounding afar
of. Get some brandy, Shultz. Here,

She turned slightly, her soft hand

And the Sergeant, looking past the

dimming the stern eyes Of his COM

THE END.
