SOYREANS IN MARYLAND.

OF late great deal of interest
in soybeans has been manifested
throughout Maryland Soybeans are
well adapted to practically all sections
Of Maryland, as far as climate is con.
cerned, but thrive best on rich loan
and clay soils. They will not grow as
we'll as cowpeas on poor, sandy soils,
but are far better than coypeas on
stiff, clay soils. They will also stand
poor drainage better than cowpeas
will. In other words, in those sections
where cowpeas do not grow well, soy
beans will be far more satisfactory.
They are also better adapted to the
stiff clay soils in the sections now pro-
ducing cowpeas well than the cowpeas
are.
The two important factors to be
taken into consideration in the pro-
duction Of soybeans are inoculation
and the selection of the proper varie-
ties.
Practically all soils in Maryland
must be inoculated for soybeans il
they have not previously grown soy
beans successfully.
The best varieties for Maryland are
Wilson, Virginia, Ebony, Cloud, Ar
lington, Medium Yellow, Haberlandt,
Hollybrook, Peking and Taba. The
Mammoth Yellow variety is commonly
found on the market but it is one Of
the poorest varieties for Maryland ex.

PROFIT IN GOOD HOUSING
Coal Companies Of Pennsylvania Build
Modern Dwellings and Rent
Them to Miners.

At first glance there might not seem
to be close connection between good
housing and coal mining, but the fact
remains that able business men who
are handling the anthracite industry
have discovered that there is con-
nection and that 1t pays them, as pro-
ducers of anthracite, to see that their
employees are sheltered in modern
dwellings. So strongly convinced are
they of this fact that the hard coal
region now contains some of the best
examples of good housing in the coun-
try in the shape of villages planned
and erected by the coal companies
themselves and rented to mine EN-
ployees.
Any big hard coal company will do
to illustrate the improvement in
housing g-Lehigh, Reading or Susque-
hanna. The upper coal fields naturally
take pride in the progress made by
their biggest producer, the Lackawan-
ma, and that company's achievements
are In the fullest sense typical OF what
has been done.
For example, the Lackawanna has
built what is known as Concrete
City" The houses are virtually all
concrete, save for doors and windows.
An empty house can be flushed from
ceiling to cellar with hose without
damage. There is plerty of light and
air. and particular attention has been
paid to bathing facilities, which are so
important in the lives Of coal miners.
Concrete City has been made dis
tinctive community, with regular COM
munity centers like Fairgrounds, and
the miners children have a pleasure
resort with wading pools and other ap-
purtenances belonging to well-managed
Fairgrounds.

REMEDY FOR ACUTE BLOATING
One Quart Of a 1Ez Per Cent Of Form.
alin Recommended by Kentucky
Experiment Station.

. Circular No. 6 OF the Kentucky ex-
pertinent station, Lexington. KY,
states: I'VE strongly recommend, for
acute bloating (Of cattle), one quart
of q IN per cent solution Of formalin,
followed by placing wooden stick in
the animals mouth and gentle exer-

This treatment proved successful in
treating six cases OF acute bloat at the
station during the last two years, suf.
fering from the ailment disappearing
in twenty to thirty minutes.
A study Of the problem of success

puncture, was brought about by the
usual growth Of white clover in
Kentucky pastures during the spring
Of 1918. Trouble with bloating or

than l per cent to 3.6. and that there
is q natural fermentation of this sugar
to carbon dioxide gas, under the condi.
tions which exist in the digestive
tract.
After finding that bloating is caused
by fermentation of the sugar. in le-
gumes that are eaten, Doctor Kastle Of
that station suggested the use of for.
maldehyde as means Of relieving the
ailment. Lads Oona bloated badly on
white clover June 13, 1918. She was
drenched with one liter OF water con.

DEVICE TO SEPARATE CREAM
Machine VIII Often Pay for Itself In
One Year, Much Depending on ,.

The cream separator is q mechani.
cal device for separating the cream
from the milk, almost instantaneously
by centrifugal force. Its advantages
over the old methods Of separation
are:
/. 1t takes practically all the but
ter fat and will save from five to ten
dollars per cow each year over any
methods.
2. Skim milk has its greatest feed
ing value while warm, clean and
sweet
g. The labor connected with the
care of the milk can be decreased
and the profits from the cows greatly
increased because a better quality OF
cream can be obtained.
A cream separator Is an invest
ment and not an expense to anyone
who keeps five or six good cows and
wants to make butter or sell cream.
A separator will often pay for itself
in one year, often in less time, &C.
cording to the number of COWS kept.
With proper care and attention. .

Everureen Trees and HEDGES.

Much of the bleakness of the winter
landscape may be removed by the use
of evergreens near the house.
The home-builder may we'll consider
this point when planning the layout of
his grounds. It is comparatively easy
to secure pleasing landscape effects
during the season Of green leaves and
buds and blossoms; but when deprived
of these the problem becomes more
difficult.
Evergreen hedges are possible, and
an occasional evergreen tree growing
up out of the hedge is a charming way
of breaking the sometimes monotonous
evenness and of adding a touch OF
feathery lightness to the aspect of the
