High Prices Interest Farmers I'm Bean
Crops.


Crops.
Judging from the large number
of requests for information about
bean growing" says w. l.. Nelson.
assistant secretary of the Missouri
Board of Agriculture. many farm
ers are thinking of planting beans
this season. The reason for this is
that beans are now selling at record
prices-s6 to 81 per bushel. These
prices are due to the export demand
resulting from the European war and
to heavy losses from excessive mois-
trre and early frosts during the 1916
season.
THE 1916 commercial bean crop
of The United States amounted to s.
$4,000 bushels, grown principally
in Michigan, California and New
York. The average yield was ga
bushels, the December farm price
$500 per bushel, as compared with
S2.26 two years previous. In On
tario. where about 10000 bushels
OF beans are grown annually, the
yield for thirty-two years has aver
aged seventeen bushels. with $1.25
as the average price.
"a bean disease known as an
thracnose. and which attacks pods,
beans and leaves, causes heavy loss
es. For this disease, sometimes re-
ferred to as bean spot, and which
resembles apple or tomato rot, there
is no satisfactory cure. For this rea-
son Missouri farmers who plan to
grow beans should be careful to Sc
cure disease-free seed. Anthacnose
is transmitted through the seed,
through washing or brushing of the
fungi from one plant to another, or
il may be carried in the soil.
THE bean plant, like all legumes,
is a nitrogen gatherer or soil build
er. The bean is also one of the most
valuable articles of food. Beans may
be grown in variety of soils, but al
ways the seed bed should be well pre-
pared Planting is in rows about 28
inches apart, an ordinary grain drill
or special bean planter being used.
In Michigan the small white pea bean
is most extensively grown. Market
ing is mainly through bean-growers'
associations"

Making Forage Crops Take Place OF
Grain.

Forage crops make cheap pork, be-
cause they permit cutting the grain
allowance to the minimum. sys-
tenn of management which will fur
nish through the entire grazing sea-
son should be planned early.
Rye and blue grass will furnish
pasture early in the spring, and may
be followed by alfalfa or clover, Hogs
have been turned on TO alfalfa at the
Missouri College of Agriculture as
early as April 10, although it Will
usually be several weeks later before
IL is ready. Glover will usually be
ready for pasture during the last half
of May.
These crops must be seeded the
year previous to that i'm which they
are to be grazed. Perhaps the best
spring sown forage is dwarf Essex
rape, or a mixture of rape and oats.
Rape may be seeded for hog pasture
rs carly as the ground can be work
ed at the rate of 6 pounds per acre.
When the season is favorable ii will
be ready to pasture during the last
half of June.
Sorghum will furnish considera-
Bile amount of forage during the hot,
dry time of summer, when other
crops are not growing well. If sown
the latter half of May or the first of
June il should be ready for pasturing
in six or eight weeks.
Hogs which have been pastured
during the grazing season on crops
already mentioned may be finished
by allowing them to hog down corn
and soy beans. These crops may be
grown together or in separate fields.
IL grown In separate fields they
should be arranged SO that the hogs
can have the run OF both fields at
the same time, since the two crops
make q better ration than either
alone.
Experimental results at the Mis-
souri, agricultural experiment station
show that on forage it required an
average of 3.1S pounds of grain to
produce pound of pork, as com
pared with 5.11 pounds, the average
from five dry feeding trials conduct
ed under similar conditions. This
would mean saving of 3S per cent
in the amount of grain fed. With
hogs worth 10 cents pound the av-
erage return per bushel of corn fed
TO hogs grazing on forage was sl.S4.
With hogs at the same price the av-
erage return per bushel of corn fed
in dry lot was St.10, These results

should be condemned, because OF the
danger of the hogs becoming infect
cd with disease from the carcasses
and thereby creating new center of
infection. Even though the hog it.
self is not susceptible to the particu-
lar disease from which the animal
died, IL becomes a carrier of disease
and will spread 1t to surrounding
stock.
The carcasses of animals that have
died of a suspected infection or con-
tagious disease should be burned, or,
IL that is impossible, they should be
buried 5 feet under ground aud COW
cred with unslacked lime before fill
ing in the dirt.
The hide should never be removed,
not only on account OF the grave dan
ger to the operator, who may become
infected through a cut or wound.
but because it will carry and spread
the germs of disease.
Whenever possible the carcass
should be burned or buried on the
spot where il died. If II Is necessa-
ry to remove the carcass, il should
be placed on stoneboat, and not
dragged on the ground to the place
of disposal. Dsinlect the stone
boat after using for this purpose.

When to Sow Oats.

Most of us are in a hurry to get
our oat crop In early" says w. l..
Nelson, who is in charge of the crop
reporting service of the Missouri
state Board of Agriculture. but af-
ter all II will apparently pay to take
time to put good seed into we'll
prepared seedbed, rather than to
mud in the crop.
Taking the average for the last
fourteen years, just about half the
crop-49.l per cent-has been in by
April /, and the average yield has
becn 23.9 bushels. For the eight
wears when the crop went in earlier
than the average the yield was 1916
bushels, while for the six later-than.
average years the yield was 2i.4
bushels.
"In 1910 the crop was sown very
carly, S9.7 per cent being in by
April ]. The yield of 1872 bushels
WAS the best for the fourteen-year
period. In 1912. though, when less
than 1 per cent of the crop was in by
April /, the yield, with favorable
April and May, was 3l.3 bushels.

N,,,u,c Hens For breeding.

Select mature hens, and not pull
lets. Tor breeding purposes, advises
+. r. Fox, assistant in poultry hus-
baudry in the KansaSstate Agrieul-
tural College.
constitutional vigor should be
the first consideration in the selection
OF hen" said Mr.. Fox. THE head
should be broad, wide. and deep; the
eyes full. round. and prominent; the
heak short and stout, aud the neck
of medium length.
individuals should be selected
that have well proportional backs,
broad at the rear extremity. The
birds should have broad. deep breasts
with long kccls. which should ex-
tend well to the rear. The body
should have plenty of capacity to al
low room Tor tho digestive and re-
productive organs. Another indica
ton of ylgor Is the well-worn or
blun-foe nail.
Select only active, vigorous hens.
A good ruiz for this Is the old say
ing. the best hen is the first off the
roost in the morning and the last on
I'm the evening Avoid the use OF inn
mature pullcts. II pullets must be
used mate these birds to cocks and
not cockercls."

At one tiny IL was thought that
Earget was due to mechanical injury
to the udder, and while this cause
cannot be entirely eliminated, it
seems evident from all recent work
that practically all cases are due to
infection, the germs gaining entrance
through the teat duct.
II is well known that sterile milk
Is not to be had even when removed
under the most rigid precautions.
This indicates that germs are to be
found i'm the udder most of the time.
Under ordinary circumstances these
bacteria do little harm, but OCCASION
ally harmful one gets in and sets
up severe Inflammation. This is es-
pecially likely to he the case at about
the time of freshening, or during the
time the COW is drying up. AT both
periods there is an accumulation of
milk that Is not drawn out regular
~, and consequently IL forms a
good medium in which bacteria can
live. When there is much accumU-
lation of milk, milking should be
done in order TO get out these foreign
organisms before they become harm
ful. While It is not necessary at the
time of drying up TO encourage milk
production by milking dry. yet ii is
much better to milk out a small
quantity. so as to get all of the Or
ganisms out of the sinus, than it is
to allow it to accumulate for several
DAYS.

Salt and Charcoal for Hogs.

Salt and charcoal should be pro-
yided to furnish hogs with mineral
matter, according TO Ray Gatewood,
Instructor in animal husbandry in
Kansas State Agricultural College.
salt should be available at all
times. preferably in an open shed
where il can be protected from the
weather." said Mr.. Gatewood. Char
coal is best fed from the hopper or
self-feeder, so as to prevent waste.
1T is a common practice to burn
cobs until the cob is well charred.
and then the fire is smothered and
the hogs are given access to this.
Some people char their cobs In a pit,
and when the fire has gained good
Roadway. the top OF the pit is cover
ed with a piece of sheet metal, and
then covered with dirt to keep out
the air. The charcoal can then be
used as it is needed. II is advisable
TO add salt to the charcoal as IL makes
ii more palatable. and is also especial
iy good for the hogs"

Winter Layers For Preceding.

Mark the laying hen. Any hen
can lay in the spring hut the one
that lays through winter when eggs
are high is the one deserving recog-
milton by promotion to the breeding
flock.
II. l.. Kempster of the Missouri
College of Agriculture says every
thing Is To be gained and nothing
lost by selecting breeding hens dur
ing winter. II is easy to select the
laying hen. Her comb is bright and
red and her pin bones will be
spread apart. Hens meeting these
qualifications should be set apart
with a good. vigorous male bird.
1t is folly to breed from the entire
flock by selecting few of the best
birds, progress will be made. Where
no selection Is practiced, the poor
producers will be used for breeding.
for even loafers will lay in the
spring. II Is also a mistake to breed
from the immature and understood
stock. Over-fat, coarse-boned hens
or those which crop behind should
never be put in the breeding pen.
The best place for them is on the
table. Pick out the good birds and
note the improvement. Use fewer
males so that you can afford better
stock.
