SOY BEANS FOR THE SOUTH.
Belief That This Leaure May Be
profitably Rotated With Cotton.

The department OF agriculture and
the various state experiment stations
are conducting wide experiments TO
discover the various forage crops best
suited TO conditions in the southern
states. says the Home and Farm. The
soy bean is now the subject of thor
ough experiments IN various sections.

FLOWING DRY GROUND.
Observation-Disclosures

Farmers who expect TO sow wheat
this fall are considerably concerned
over the matter OF getting the neces-
sary blowing done, says the Kansas
Farmer. Very little plowIng has as
yet been done. The ground is too hard
to plow without the use of an excess
siYe amount of power. Even some
farmers who have tractors have re-
Trained from plowing because OF the
belief that working dry ground will
injure II. While this may be the case
in certain soils. il probably does not
hold true in general. We note that the
agricultural college authorities are adj
vising farmers to put on more power.
If necessary, and plow the ground now
even II, it is dry.
Ground prepared late does not pro-
duce as good yields ms that worked
early. When rains come the plowed
fields will readily absorb the water.
The heavy growth Of weeds on many
Kansas farms IS sapping what little
moisture the soil contains.

FEEDING BROOD MARES
DUE TO FOAL IN SPRING

Mares due to foal during the spring
months need nourishing winter ra-
tion. A rapid development OF the young
colt is essential II a healthy yearling or
two-year-old is desired
Proper feeding of the brood mare
during pregnancy determines in large
mea sure the strength of the colt at
birth. A grain ration of three parts
oats and one part corn by weight
serves very well. If timothy or mixed
hay is fed as roughage handful OF
oilmeal should be given at each feed.
The digestive tract will be kept in bet
ter condition, and the hair coat will be
much sleeker il oilmeal is used. Oil
meal is unnecessary when clean clover
or alfalfa hay is fed.
Horse breeders, according TO Dr. ii.
II. Havner, in charge of live stock ex-
tension at the Pennsylvania State Col
lege School Of Agriculture and expert
ment station, .ircfer fo feed some wheat
bran in connection with oats and corn.
The present high price of mill feeds,
however. has led many feeders TO re-
ject bran. There IL no reason why
wheat bran should not be rejected in
the ration If oilmeal is given in the
a-.ount recommended, said Dr. Hav-
ner. Although oilmeal costs more per
100 pounds than wheat bran, the cost
of pound of protein in oilmeal is
much cheaper.
There Is tendency TO feed horses
too much hay. During the winter
brood mares may be fed from one TO
one and a fourth pounds Of hay per 100
pounds live weight daily. II clean
clover or alfalfa hay Is used only one
pound per 100 pounds live weight daily
is necessary.
A combination of the grain and hfy
ration recommended assures a strong
colt and good milk flow at foaling.

@ASTER, the principal festival of

observance, it has its symbols, legends
and traditions, but surely nothing can
be more expressive of the spirit of the
occasion. of wider poetic appeal or
more beautifully symbolic than the
flowers blooming in bright profusion
after their long winter sleep.
Easter is appropriately a day Of
flowers. For days past the markets

lief of the living in the resurrection
of the dead.
Lily Chosen Centuries Ago.
Certain flowers have come to be
associated with the Eastertide, either
because of their symbolic significance
or because it is the season of their
blooming. The lily has ever been asso-
c1ated with religious observance since
the beginning of the Christian era and
IN tradition and type bears a message
of purity TO the world. 1t is an old
favorite and may be had in the form
of either single plant bearing from
three 20 eight fragrant blooms or sew
eral plants in one receptacle producing
from fifteen to twenty-five blooms
Years ago the Candidum lily was the
variety chiefly grown and later the
Harrisi. The lilies now grown for
Easter are the multiforum, formosum
and giganteum varieties. all bearing
white blooms. A plant bearing three
or four buds and blooms may be bought
at a very reasonable price.
or deserved popularity is the mar
guerite, also called the Paris daisy and
also the Queen Alexandra daisy, and
the new English daisy, Mrs. III. Sander
Well grown plants of these are covered
with white blooms and remain in flow
er long time. Even the small plants
bloom freely and can be purchased at
moderate price.
The Azalea indica is one OF the most
snowy of all plants used at Easter
When in full flower its shining green
foliage is nearly concealed by its
blooms, which embrace nearly the en-
tire range of color from pure white TO
deep crimson. This wide range of col
or and the equally wide scope in size
and cost make the azalea always a
popular Easter plant. Less seen is the
Azalea mollis, half hardy species
which has very scanty foliage as its
period of bloom, but this paueity OF
leaves Is little noticed, so numerous
