BIG VARIANCE IN SOY BEANS
Some Varieties Mature Early, Giving
Small Yield, While Others Grow
Rank and Mature Late.

The results of this years seeding or
soy beans on the experiment fields mt
Iowa state college show that there are
very marked differences among the va
rieties. When grown under similar
conditions. side by side some varieties
were short and early maturing giving
yield of only about five bushels OF
beans per acre. Others grew rank and
matured too late to produce much OF
n bean crop before frost. Some va
rieties yield from IS to 20 bushels of
beans per acre.
For planting with corn for silage, IL.
d. Hughes, in charge of farm crops ex-
periments, says that the variety known
as Medium Green is very good. 1t pro-
duces rank growth and yields n larg-
er tonnage of good silage per acre
than any other variety. This variety
may under some circumstances be
good for hogging down, but Mr..
Hughes prefers varieties that mature
earlier, such as the Manchu, Ito San
and Black Eyebrow. The latter did
especially well.

without making them objects of char
ity. We learned during the war, when
drives were made for clothing for the
Belgians and French of the devastated
regions, that nearly everyone had
clothing that could be spared. 1t Is
almost a crime to keep garments that
are not worn or needed, stored away
when they might be of use to 9th
ers who really need them. Therefore
influential women in the larger COM
munities have organized yearly sales
usually called "rummage sales,' ana
they contribute to these events all
kinds of clothing-shoes, hats, gloves,
hose, underwear, as well as all outer
garments. The contributions include
clothing for men, women and children.
The more prosperous usually donate
outright what they can spare. 9th
ers ask that selling price be put upon
their articles and n certain per cent
of 1t be returned to them.
But clothing is not all that appears
Mt these sales; bed coverings. furnl-
ture, bric-a-brac, and all sorts of
household belongings find place at
the sale. If there is no regular wom-
ans exchange, preserves and canned
fruits and vegetables are sure of -fnd-

BREEDING STOCK
VERY IMPORTANT
Essential Feature in Making
Start in Goose Industry Is
Proper Foundation.
GRASS their NATURAL FOOD
Grain-Fed Fowls Are Loafers, Poor
Layers and Eggs Are InfertiIe-
Clover Hay or Alfalfa Is Best
Feed for Winter.

In starting in the goose industry it
is important to get the right kind of
parent stock. The essential feature is
to get breeding stock from someone
who has raised his flock almost entire
ly on grass. Grass is the natural food
for geese, also cheapest. If you buy
grass-raised geese they will he active
and alert for such food and will prove
good layers of fertile. strong-germed
eggs. If you get grain-fed stock you
will have lot of loafers that are lazy
and sluggish. that will prove to be poor
layers, and "A large percentage of their
eggs will be infertile.
Best Winter Fed.
Breeding geese should be wintered
on clover hay or alfalfa, with very
little grain in the coolest weather. If
you have some coarse vegetables, such
as mangels, rutabagas or Swedish tur-
nips, you need not give them any grain.
After they begin to lay, which should
be from February - to 90 you can
mix bran or shorts with cooked veg
etables to good advantage. This ration
will help in egg prcsiuction. but need

The goslings will need no other feed
If they can have grass. If at any time
you do have to feed them something
else, use hard boiled eggs, or bread
squeezed out of boiled milk. Corn
bread is better than wheat bread.
Start them on grass when possible and
continue them so, and you will usually
raise all your hatch.
Breeding Stock.
Old females from three TO twelve
years old are best for breeding, though
it is advisable to use young ganders
from two to five years of age.
Select those that have large frame
and are broad across the back. Get
them mated before the middle of Febru-
ary or earlier. Do not attempt to give
more than two females to one male.
1t is better, though not absolutely nee
essary, to have each mating yarded
separately during breeding season. as
they are inclined to fight. Set the first
dozen or thirty eggs under good-sized
hens, four or five to the hen. You can
let the goose set on her second or third
laying. Frequently the third or fourth

January is the month in which most
women consider their own and their
familys need in undergarments, and
this particular duty is not so simple
now as it used to be. Two months
earlier designers, manufacturers and
importers must assemble underthings
for women who leave for the South
as soon as the holidays are over, and
this exacting clientele sets the pace in
the development of new ideas-and
in extravaganza. This year, be 1t
known, all-white underwear appears
to be their choice, and II will therefore
play the leading role, as In times long
past, in the dainty drama of under
muslins.
But all-white underthings will not
hold the center of the stage all the
time. Negligees have grown more pic
turesque and colorful. more varied in
style than ever, and the newest fad
calls for hose, slippers, cap and un-
derwear to match them; the match
ing involves usually two colors. so
there Is no mOnotony. A house party,
assembled for the morning coffee. is
quite likely to rival the evening party,
in gay and pretty dressing. and to
prove more interesting. since one can

and those who have had business ex-

are possibilities for those who sell and
those who buy in sale of this kind.
The most important thing to remem-
ber is that clothing and house furnish

stuffs will bring the market price.

Nearly every one possesses some old
pieces that are never used and are
kept, simply because they are of pre-

think, and large part of the best
farmers think, that the fresher manure
is applied the more valuable it is, for
when it is placed in a large heap to
rot, part OF it will be almost useless
by the time all of the heap is rotted.
The reason why some of it is spoiled
is this: The large heap generates so
much heat that the bottom and middle
of the heap is burned until there Is
very little fertiliZing matter left in 1t.
Manure, properly applied, we all
know, is very beneficial to the soil,
inasmuch as it supplies much of the
lost fertility, but manure can be so
applied, as to be an injury instead
of benefit.
Always try to apply your coarse
manure to clay soils, as they need some-
thing to keep them porous. as well as
to fertilize them.
