a late issue of Hoard's Dairyman. Is

thoughtful farmer in America:

Time To Plant Soy Beans and Cow


Although soy beans and cowpeas
may be sown during a period from
early spring until midsummer, the
time of planting depends largely up
on the latitude and the use to be
made of the crop. As main grain
or hay crop, the best time for plant
ing is about the same as for corn,
or when the ground has become
thoroughly warm. The plants will
then start quickly and make rapid
growth. The plants grow slowly In
cool weather, and ordinarily there is
no advantage in planting earlier than
corn. Experiments have shown that
the SOY bean may be planted earlier
than the cowpea, being able to with
stand more cold in the early spring.
For pasture, green manure, soiling'
or even for a hay crop. both the soy
bean and cowpea may be sown as
late as August LIST In the South and
July in the North.

Bury Them Deep.

Buzzards or dogs will soon dis
pose of a dead hog at this season of
the year; but they will carry infec-
ton to all parts of the surrounding
country. A dead hog is dangerous
to all the other hogs on the same
farm and to every hog in the State.
The College of Agriculture at Lex
ington recommends that all dead ami
mails should be thoroughly burned or
buried deep. As burning a body un-
till only the ashes remain is a diff
cult matter, burying is much simpler
However, the farmer should remem-
her that a shallow covering of earth
will not keep dogs from a dead body.
At least five feet of earth should
cover the dead animal after a liberal
supply of quicklime has been
sprinkled over the carcass

Have n WelI-PIanned Garden.

Many farmers fail to realize that
one-tenth of an acre devoted to a
well-planned and well-tended garden
will in many cases produce as much
food as an acre of field crops. The
garden should, and can with little
planning. be made to produce
throughout the entire season instead
of only during a month or two in the
spring. Three to five paintings OF
snap beans planted at intervals OF two
to three weeks, at least three early
and one late planting of peas, and
frequent small sowings Of lettuce Will
insure continuous supply OF these
vegetables during the entire season.
Sweet corn should be planted every
two or three weeks during the early
part of the season and, IL the growing
season is long, two paintings should
be made in July and August for au-
tumn use. The early garden should
also be planted so that space will be
available when needed for planting
fall and winter crops. thus making
IL possible to have fresh vegetables
practically the entire year
