BOHEMIA LAND OF PATRIOTS
Popular Idea Concerning the Country
and Its People Has Been Far
From the Truth.

When Shakespeare wrote of "the
seacoast of Bohemia" he showed no
cheerfuller disregard Of fact than
most of us now do when we think OF
that richly stored country as land
of gypsies forever bent upon gay or
wildsome adventure. bohemian" has
stood for many an age as an appella-
ton for carefree wanderers; yet as
originally applied by the French 1t
probably referred to the expatriated
disciples Of the Bohemian martyr,
John Huss. Spiritual and patriotic
fervor rather than lightheartedness
are the traditional marks Of this
people, who after long generations Of
subsection to Teuton Austria are COM
ing into their own.
Bohemia was the home of the
Czechs for hundreds Of years before
Germanic invaders broke In upon its
happy freedom, as early, indeed, as
the sixth century before Christ. The
Czechs love Of country and Of liberty
and their sense Of Slavic kinship with
their oppressed Slovak brethren dwell
ing near by never died or dimmed.
Despite tyranny and persecution they
have chung to pride In their past and
to hope for their future; they have
cherished their language, their litera-
ture and customs, their common faith
and ideals.-Atlanta Journal.

Rlrph Bark.

The bark of the yellow birch can be
compared with nothing else. The tree
is unique among trees. The yellow
birch, often better called the silver
birch, has bark more tinsel-like than

SOY BEANS PROFITABLE FEEDING CROP
AND ALSO INCREASE SOIL FERTILITY

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The soy bean can be utilized to adj
vantage as pasture for all kinds of
stock, the most profitable method, per-
haps, being 20 pasture with hogs, sup
plementing the corn ration. This is
especially desirable when the harvest.
ing is interfered with by bad weather,
lack of labor, or other causes, and
when the crop is grown for soil i'm
provement. In this way the crop is
profitable not only from the stand
point of feeding value, but also in the
increase of soil fertility due to the
manure and refuse vines. Hogs great
ly relish the bean plant, especially
the ripening pods and seed, and a
considerable part of the growth of
young hogs may be made with soy
bean pasture. Animals ready for fat
tening may be fitted for market much
more rapidly if soy beans are used
to supplement the corn ration.
Test In Alabama.
In pasturage experiments conduct
ed at the Alabama agricultural ex-
pertinent station soy beans, peanuts,
chufas, and sorghum were compared
as pasturage for hogs. 1t was found
that when corn alone was fed, 100
pounds of pork cost $7.63; when fed
two-thirds ration of corn and pas
tured on chufas in addition, 100
pounds of pork cost $3.50 on sorghum,
$7.79; on peanuts, $500; and on soy
beans, S2.74. The average gain of
the pigs each day on the soy-bean
pasture was 1.02 pounds, on the pea
nut pasture 1.01 pounds, on the chufa
pasture O.72 pound, and on the sor-
ghum pasture 0.37 pound. The same
station reports three years. work in
feeding 105 hogs to determine the
value of soy-bean pasture as compared
with other feeds, the most profitable
quantity Of corn as a supplement, and
the effect of the soy-bean forage on
the quality of the pork. 1t was found
that when corn was used alone the
average daily gain for each hog was
0.375 pound, at a cost of 7.61 cents.
When soy-bean pasture was grazed
with one-fourths one-half, and three
fourths ration Of corn the average
daily gains were raised to 1102, 1.006,
and 1929 pounds, respectively, and
the cost Of pork reduced to 2.59, $3.50,
and 3.17 cents, respectively. One acre
of soy-bean pasture afforded grazing
for 10 hogs for 80 days with one
fourth ration Of corn, 48 days with a
one-half ration, and 60 days with q
three-fourths ration of corn. The

acre Of soy-bean pasture varied from
1854 to 1913.
Kentucky Experiment.
The Kentucky agricultural expert
ment station, in a series of expert
ments with soy-bean pasture for hogs,
found that it was not profitable to hog
down soy beans (grain) unless a sup
Elementary feed is given. The results
showed, however, that it was highly
profitable to hog down soy beans If
supplementary feed, such as corn, Is
given. The lot of hogs receiving 2
per cent of its weight in eornmeal
daily produced 1926 pounds of pork to
the acre, at a cost of $4.54 per hun
bred pounds of gain. An acre of soy
beans hogged off with supplementary
feed of corn produced feed for 10
hogs for 81 days and for 20 hogs for
an additional 81 days. An acre Of soy
beans with no corn fed the hogs pro-
duced feed for 10 hogs for 81 days
and for 10 hogs for an additional IA
days.
Various methods of seeding are
used when the soy bean is to be util-
lied for pasture purposes. In the
Southern states, especially North
Carolina, where a considerable acre
age is used for hog pasture, from one
and half to two bushels of seed
are sown broadcast at the last work
ing of the corn. The hogs are turned
in when the seed is fully mature.
Corn and soy beans are sometimes
grown together and pastured down, as
is often done with corn, or the two
crops may be planted in alternate
rows For young hogs the beans are
often planted alone. Soy-bean pas
ture may be supplied for a period Of
several weeks by planting early. medi-
UNI, and late varieties. Early matur-
ing varieties may be sown after small
grains and make sufficient growth to
supply considerable feed in the fall.
Soy beans may be pastured at any
time from the stage when the pods
are one-half filed until the beans are
mature.
When hogs have been pastured on
soy beans alone there is tendency
for the lard to become soft. This may
be overcome very materially by feed
ing the hogs on grain ration after
taking them from the pasture. The
feeding. of corn alone for four or five
weeks has produced firm lard, while
corn and cottonseed meal used in the
proportion of three parts of corn to
one part of cottonseed meal has given
the best results.

Yank Artillery Mad. n.eora

The French take more pride in their
artillery than In almost any other fea-

Y. w. Barron in the Wall Street Jour-
nal. In this war they made world rec

lean boys watched the French move
io1s-inch guns into position In As min
otes with horses and motors. Then
the Frenchmen saw the American
boys do 1t in 121s minutes, and they
did not use either horses or motors.
Fifty American officers and men out
the gun into place and they were the
talk OF the town at that French camp.
Afterward the French called upon their
officers for themselves and all their
man power to do this work when the
tractor was not about.
When the Germans met the Amer,-
can gunners they thought a new kind
OF rapid-fre three-inch gun had come
into the war because 1t shot so much
more rapidly.

HOW TO REMEDY CLAY SOILS
Beneficial Results Secured by Making
1t Loose-AppIy Ashes and
Dung Literally.

Physically clay is a mass of very
fine, minute grains, stuck together as
a cemented substance. and is compar-
ably like putty in texture. Water is
impermeable to it.
As soil clay is very unsuitable,
for the land gets in a waterlogged
condition and very cold; but as con-
stituent it is very valuable, as it re-
tains the moisture and holds plants
firm. Clay contains a small amount
of food substance, and cad be abb
sorbed in very small quantities. 1t
also retains the properties Of decay
ing manures.
To remedy heavy clay soils by MAX
ing it loose and friable. ashes and
long dung literally applied would have
very beneficial results.
