Mreshing Beans.

The farmers of Schuyler coun-
ty, New York, have found a new
and practical way of threshing
beans that ought to be more gen.
rally known. They do the job
with an ensilage cutter. Just re-
verse the knives. turn them SO
that the back Of the knife strikes
down upon the pods. Open the
throat of the cutter to secure
freer feeding. Feed even and
steady and work is well done in
this way. The beans and pods,
after going through the cutter,
pass out on a large perforated
table where one man rakes off
the pods and the beans fall
through to a pile beneath. Ev-
cry silo district has lots of silage
cutters and can dispose Of the
labor of bean threshing very
handily. We CLEAN these facts

cause the forms of industry will
also suffer a change, and another
vast throng of men who will have
been discharged from the armies
will have the preference and will
elbow them away.
That seems a dark outlook; but
there is something-more than
something-to tighten it. The
world will be bare of things it
needs in time of peace. Perhaps
there will be a demand for all
, that all can produce. The United
States will have established itself
in such a commanding financial
position as not even England in
its most prosperous period could
boast. And there is the sturdy.
persistent, adaptable, optimistic
American spirit, which can con-
quer the world by its versatile
cl2verness if not with the sword.
There is nothing depressing in
the prospect. The Youths Com

Sow Turnips for Pig Feed.

Sow turnips this week for pig
feed. The turnips will save half
to three-fourths of the corn that
the pigs will need without them.
Sow two pounds of seed an acre.
Sow every two weeks until April
LIST. Sow on new ground or land
that is rich. 1t is a waste of
seed to SOW on poor land without
manuring it well.
Early Milan is the earliest va
riety and is ready to feed in sixty
days after seeding. The supply
of seed of this sort is short. The
Purple Top Strap Leaf is the
standard variety. 1t is ready to
feed in about seventy days after
sowing.
Turnips yield on good soil about
$50 bushels an acre and this guam
tity has a feed value for pigs
equal to twenty-five bushels of
corn. From these figures the
swine growers can determine
how much to sow. The turnips
are off the land early enough to
be followed by corn or any other
regular crop.
Turnips should be cooked with
as little water as possible and not
have them burn. When they be-
come thoroughly cooked, let them
become cool enough to eat. Then
mix a little grain with them and
feed warm, but not hot. Do not
cook the grain, Cooking reduces
the food value of grain, but IN
creases tnat of the turnips. Pigs
do not thrive on turnips alone,
but do well on turDips and a
small quantity of grain.

Our Amazing Foreign Trade.

No nation upon earth was ever
before able to put forth such for
eign-trade figures as the United
States puts forth for the calendar
year 1917. The imports are val
ued at 81, 952, 900, 900; the exports
at Sc, 226, 900, ,000-a total of al
most nine and a quarter billion
dollars. The balance of trade
the value of what we sold in ex-
cess of what we bought-was
more than three and a quarter
billions.
In whatever way we examine
the figures they excite wonder.
Their size is what strikes us first,
but consider also their one-sided-
ness-exports worth more than
twice as much as the imports.
Consider what does not appear
in the gross figures, the cnarac-
ter of the exports, more than two
thirds of which represent manu-
factured goods. How that would
have astonished the statesmen of
the last century who held that
the United States must always
be an agricultural and never a
manufacturing country!
Then, if we try to apprehend
what such an expansion of trade,
$50 preponderantly in one direc-
ton, may mean to us and to the
world, we are bewildered by the
possibilities. In three years the
excess of export over import val
ues is more than eight billions.
The financial resources of the
whole world combined would
scarcely satisfy the debt thereby
created if it had to be satisfied
with gold coin and bullion. How,
then, has it been met? Partly
by the stupendOus loans made by
our government to its allies,
partly by the foreign government
loans taken by our banks and
citizens, partly by an unprece-
dented inflow of gold.
What will happen to US when
the world conditions that have
caused the situation are changed
and peace is restored? We have
stimulated production to a point
much beyond our capacity for
consumption, and need the for
eign markets to take the surplus.
But the fore gn demand for a
great part Of such merchandise
as we now eXI ort- that for war
supplies will cease altogether
when peace cones. AS for the
staple articles tFat are required
at all times, we hall Immediate
| ly encounter competition. Labor
is now fully employed. When
the inevitable change comes, hun.
dreds of thousands of workmen
will be forced to find other than
their present employment be.
