some that date back twelve centuries.

two essay contests are to be held in
connection with the exhibition, one for
farm boys and the other for farm girls.
The boys will have the chance to tell
why they would prefer to remain on
a Maryland farm when they grow up,
and the girls, how they think country
life can be bettered so that it may
be more attractive to them. A prize

There are some who really think
they have discovered something new,
when they find out by actual expert.
ence that corn and beans" form an
almost ideal balanced ration for not
only horses, but all live stock as well.
Most people think of navy beans,
string beans, or lima beans when the
word beans" is spoken, but this Is
not the sort we wish to speak Of.
Soy beans or soys, as they are most
commonly called, are not beans at all.
II is well known that the true bean
sends up the cotyledons Of the seed
as the first pair Of leaves. Soys do
not have this habit Of growth, but
like peas, send up pair Of seed

son why you ought to try patch this

The soy bean Is native of Asia, but
unlike most OF the Asiatics, 1t Is not
only admitted to the United States,
but Is welcomed as well. This bean
(pea) is a strong-growng erect, an
nual plant. 1t grows anywhere from
two to four feet tall. is of varying
shades of green, but Is invariably Gov
cred with rusty hairs, both on the
stem and leaves.
The leaves are borne In sets of three
and the leaflets are large, thin, and
broadly ovate in shape. The flowers
and beans are borne in the axis Of
the leaves from ground to top of the
plant. The ripened pods. after the
leaves have fallen. appear In clus-
tiers all along the main stem. In shape

Gus branches. resembles a miniature

Soys are adapted to wider range Of
soils than even red clover. They do

mixture Of these, on sandy soils, and

Soys are not difficult to harvest,

proportion of six to one.
Men were moved down like nine
pins by the bursting shrapnel and 1t
seemed as IL the Kings Own had been
singled out by the special fury of the
onslaught. Colonel Dykes fell at an
early stage of the engagement whiie
shouting encouragement to his men.
Fighting continued furiously until
half-past nine. Then there was a
lull, and the enemy, seemingly re-en-
forced, made good their advance and
another five hours desperate conflict
ensued.
Brilliant Bayonet Charges.
The allies fought the advance inch
by inch, fighting becoming SO close
that the Kings Own got home with
several dashing bayonet charges, one
of the most brilliant Of which was
led by Clutterbuck formerly ranker
of the Yorkshire light infantry, who,
with a handful of men routed four
times the number under his command.
He paid the price Of his gallantry
with his life, but the casualties to his
men were singularly light The ser
geant said: 1T was just like Clutter

Lieutenant's Glorious Death.
Then" continued the sergeant,
there was Lieutenant Steel-Perkins,
who died one of the grandest deaths
a British officer could wish for. He
was lifted out of the trenches wound
ed four times, but protesting, crawled
back again till he was mortally
wounded"
Proceeding, the sergeant said: THE
first man knocked over was one OF
the most popular of the Rugby foot
ballers in the Dover garrison. He was
shot through the mouth.
"A German aerOplane which came
over our position on the day proceed

sailed by shower of bullets from
more than one regiment, its recon-

Now Is the time to take the first I'M

though the crib seed terminates well,

The farmer can secure good SEED

we'll and he has variety that has
proven generally successful IN his
neighborhood. The best way to select
seed is from the stalk in the field as
soon as 1t has ripened. But If this
has not been done the next best thing
to do is to select carefully in the field
at the time Of husking and hauling to
the crib.

After shocking they will stand a

that the use of the binder is the cas-
lest, quickest and best way to ham

Soys have a feeding value that 10
exceedingly high. Henry, in Feeds
and Feeding, in a comparison Of soy
hay and clover shows that beans" are
actually richer feed than clover and
that they are eXcelled only by alfalfa.
Glover hay contains 6.S per cent pro-
tein, 36.S per cent carbohydrates and
IL per cent fat per 100 pounds dry
matter. Alfalfa contains II per cent
protein, 1916 per cent carbohy
and l.2 per cent fat, while soy hay
has 1913 per cent protein, 1856 per
cent carbohydrates and IL per cent
fat per 100 pounds dry matter
Comparing the grain from soys with
the grain usually fed for concentrates,
and again we find them Of high value.
Bran contains 1872 per cent protein,
500 per cent carbohydrates and 2.7
per cent fat; lnseed meal has 29.3
per cent protein, 377 per cent carbohy.
drates and IA per cent fat per 100
pounds dry matter.
What better feed, either as hay or
grain, could one want?
The yield of grain of soys varies
with the variety planted. The Illinois
experiment station has found that
yields as high as 80 bushels per acre
erage yield of the medium maturing
sorts will be more nearly 25 than so.
Soys possess many advantages over
any of the legumes commonly grown.
Among the advantages may be men,
toned: They are erect growers with
out runners, therefore. do not tangle.
The seed may be harvested by maChln-
cry, and threshed with the ordinary
thresher. They are heavy yielders.
The grain is highly heterogeneous and
therefore very valuable for feeding
purposes: they may be pastured by
either hogs, horses or cattle and will
furnish both grain and forage when
so pastured. AS supplemental feed
to corn, they are grain that COM
bines well to balance the ration and
take place OF expensive concentrates.

The most important step in seed
selection, however, is to place the ears
selected, in a dry place with free cir
cuation Of air so that they will dry
out quickly. The storage room may
be any place where air circulates
freely, such as a wagon shed, barn
loft, or attic But do not throw the
seed on pile; that would not be much
improvement over the crib. Tie the
ears In punches on string or in some
other way, placing them so that there
Is free circulation of air around each
ear. The seed should be left in this
manner until it is as dry as bone"
which usually takes about two
months. After this it may be stored
In mouse-proof boxes or barrels or
crates If desired, or they may be al
