PARTICULARLY GOOD
FOR SMALL FARMER
Yield of Twenty to Forty Bushels
Per Acre Should Be Secured
improves Soil.
(By ]. T. GRAINGER.)

Soy beans are good crop to
raise, particularly for the small farm
er. By growing variety like Nam
moth Yellow on soil that has been
we'll prepared and fortified, a yield
of twenty to forty bushels to the acre
should be secured, and as the soy
bean is a legume, 1t will improve the
soil
Soy beans should be inoculated be-
fore planting on a field where they
have not been previously grown.
When the ground has been we'll mel
lowed and the crop is wanted for pas
ture in the green form. or for hay or
manure, it may be broadcasted or
planted in rows.
When wanted mainly for the grain,
the seed is put in rows with the grain
drill more commonly, but sometimes
with the corn planter or ordinary bean
planter.
In growing the small varieties, the
rows may be as near as "a inches.
The largest varieties call for dis
lance between the rows of not less
than three feet.
The plants in the rows will bear
growing thickly, as the habit of
growth is upright. The distance be-
tween the plants may vary from two
to five or six inches, according to the
size of the plants.
The amount of seed used per acre
is seldom more than one bushel per
acre and seldom less than half a
bushel.
If your land is not rich in humus,
use small amount of nitrate of soda
as a starter for the beans. Apply at
the rate of rs pounds per acre after
the beans are up. Put 1t on when the
leaves are dry. 1t is very soluble
and will sink into the soil in sur
prisingly short time
Then an application of 16 per cent
acid phosphate with so pounds of
muriate of potash per acre will give
you complete fertilizer that should
be very satisfactory. Bonemeal would
not be as good for a crop as soy
beans, as the plant food elements are
not readily available.

(By W. r. SCOTT.)

Is your land rich enough, and is 1t
producing as much as you wish?
This, in my opinion, is the most i'm
portant subject the farmer has to
deal with. Poor lands mean poor
crops, poor stock, poor farmer-and
a poor state
The farmer who depends upon one
crop to support his family and buy
his meat, flour, hay, horses and many
other things, sooner or later will
come to grief, it matters not what, in
reason, the price of that one article
is. This one-crop system is what is
the matter with our farmers. We
need to diversity our crops more.
We need to keep more live stock:
to raise our own horses and mules,
sheep, cattle hogs and other live
stock; to raise more hay, grain and
leguminous crops. Those sections
where the farmers raise their own
supplies, and have some to sell to sup
ply the local markets, are the most
prosperous.
We need to fence our farms, and
must do so, il we keep live stock;
and we must keep live stock if we
expect to have manure to go on our
crops. Without manure l believe it
almost impossible to get our farms
into high state of cultivation. By
the keeping of live stock on our farms,
not only will this live stock manure
the farms, and get the fields in better
condition for growing better crops,
but they will pay profit to the own
er. Our waste lands and hills should
be fenced, and well stocked with
growing cattle, horses and sheep, in
stead of being allowed to grow up and,
in many cases, wash away.
Why not raise more sheep? l have
found that sheep are as easy to raise
as any stock, and almost indispensa-

SU M MER CARE AND
FEED FOR THE COLT
Foal Should Be Taught to Eat
Grain Early-Good Plan to
Wean the Youngster.

(By c. S. ANDERSON. Colorado Expert
ment Station.)
Are you giving that young foal the
proper care? To become a strong,
sound horse when matured the foal
must be well nourished and given ev-
cry advantage possible.
At this time of the year mares and
colts are allowed to spend at least a
part of the time in the pasture. The
foal should be taught to eat grain very
early. BY placing the feed box from
which the dam eats her grain low, the
foal, at about two months of age, will
begin nibbling with the mother and
will soon acquire taste for the grain
A pen built in one corner of the field
made high enough to keep the mare
out and allow the colt to pass under
will make it possible to feed the foal
grain with very little difficulty. Allow
the mare in the enclosure with the foal
for a few times, and it will soon learn
to go in itself. Keep liberal supply
of grain, preferably oats and bran, and
perhaps some cracked corn, in the feed
box. To induce the dam to loiter about
with the colt, have the pen near a
shade tree or the salt box.
By weaving time the foal will have
become thoroughly accustomed to eat
ing grain and will wean very easily,
besides being in better condition as a
result of this additional feed.
Try this plan this year and you will
be surprised to find sleek, fat, we'll
grown colt at weaving time.

1t is much easier to produce pure

But the sanitary milk pail alone will
not give US clean milk. The cows must
