GOES BACK TO ROMAN LAW
Writ of injunction Almost az Old. as
the Institution of Trial
by Jury.

Use of the injunction is a feature
of the law almost as old as the insti-
tuition of trial by jury, 1t was first
used In 1882, when the king of Eng
land empowered the chancellor to issue
writs restraining the barOns from over
riding the common law courts. The
principle of injunction dates back fur
ther still to Roman law: ut is clas-
sified In the law as one of the 'ex-
traordinary writs.' Its essential DUR
pose Is to prevent the doing of wrong
whose effects. If consummated, would
be irreparable. In other words, in
stead of waiting for a threatened
wrong to work its damage, which a
law court might redress by punishment
or the assessment of damages, the
equity court steps in with its 'extraor-
dinary writ of injunction to prevent
the damage being done. Its twin is
mandamus, which commands perform
ance Of certain rights and duties, while
the province Of injunction is to forbid
performance of certain act; which
might Interfere with rights or result
In wrongs"

WASH KEEPS RABBITS AWAY
Formula Suggested by D. A. GiIchrist
Of Biological Survey as Protec-
ton for Trees.

The following formula is suggested
by d. A. Gilchrist, United States bio
logical survey as an effective tree
wash for protection against rabbits,
enemies Of young fruit trees:
Dissolve one ounce of strychnine sui
phate in three quarts of boiling water
and add one-half pint of laundry
starch, previously dissolved in one
pint of cold water. Boil this mixture
until it becomes a clear paste. Add
one ounce of glycerine and stir thor
oughly When sufficiently cool, apply
to trunks of trees, with a paint brush.
Rabbits that gnaw the bark will be
killed before the tree is injured.
Note: 1t is probable that one-half
pint of molasses may be substituted
for one ounce of glycerine.

MAKING MILK DIsEAsE-FREE

First sms'i City to Adopt =
Strict Regulations.

Barre, VT, q thriving municipality
OF about $4,000, is the first small city
In the United States which requires
dairymen furnishing 1t with milk to
place their herds under federal-state
supervision for the eradication Of
tuberculosis. The result has been ac-
complished by close and persistent CO.
operation on the part of The mayor
and other municipal authorities, the
United States department of agricul-
ture, the state commissioner of agrf-
culture. the local veterinarian.
Eradication of tuberculosis was be-

thrashed with little splitting. Some
manufacturers have special pea and
bean hulling. attachments for grain
separators, which are said to do satis-
factory work. These attachments may
be added to the ordinary separator at
small cost
Special pea and bean separatOrs Of
different sizes are now on the market.
These types of machines do Gle; n hull
ing and split practically none of the
beans. Undoubtedly such separa-
tors are more satisfactory and eco
nOmical where q considerable acreage
of beans Is grown. In sections where
there is extensive seed production, in
vestment in such machine by the
community would be profitable. Soy
beans. if thoroughly dry, can easily be
thrashed with fail. In only small
acreage-an acre or sO-this Dsethod
is practicable and economical. In a
few sections corn shredder has been
used to advantage. If properly cured
and dried, the beans shell out readily
with this machine.
Straw Makes Good Feed.
The straw obtained from thrashing
the soy bean for seed is q valuable
feed for all kinds of stock. In many
sections the straw, is baled at the
time of thrashing and sold in the i'm
mediate locality to liverymen, dairy
men. and stock feeders.
AS soy-hean seed spoils easily, If
not properly handled, care should he
exercised in curing and storing. After
the beans are thrashed they should
be watched carefully to avoid heat
ing and molding. When thoroughly
dry there is no such danger. The best
plan, perhaps, is to spread the seeds
out on a floor Immediately after
thrashing and shovel them over from
time to time untn they are thorough
dry. After this they may be safe
ly put into sacks or bins. The
storeroom should be dry and have
free circulation Of air. Soy-bean seed
loses its viablity rapidly, and it is
not safe to hold seed for planting pur-
poses more than two seasons. The
seeds of the soy bean, unlike those
of the cowpea, are rarely attacked by
weevils or other grain insects.

When cut with a moving machine or

the crop seriously, provided the plants
are not allowed to rest on the ground
for any length Of time.
Where a binder is used the bound

During the cry period, the COW

she will be in good flesh when she

ration should not be too heavy and
should contain plenty of bran. The

With the widely increased popular
ity of the soy bean the harvest of the
crop has gained markedly in impOr-
tance in practically every section of
the country. According to specialists

and are efficient for harvesting the
crop either when grown under level
or ridged-row methods of cultivation.
greatl..' increases the value of this
crop not only as forage for live
stock, but also for human food pur-
poses.
The most common type OF special
bean harvester Is q two.wheeled, box
like machine which Is drawn by two
horses. AS the machine passes over
the row of plants four sets of rapidly
revolving arms shatter the beans from
the pods into the body Of the har-
along the row the seed Is gradually
raked to the rear of the box by one of
the operators. Under favorable condi-
tions two men with a team can har-
vest-and harvesting means cutting
and thrashing the crop in one opera
tion-one acre of beans in two hours
by this method where the yield is
about 20 bushels to the acre. Although
there Is some loss of beans 1t is more
than compensated by the saving of
time and labor as compared with har-
veSting in other ways.
If the plants are not too coarse the
Self-binder can also be used to good
advantage in the harvest of the taller
growing varieties of beans. This meth
cd is gaining favor rapidly in, many
sections, as the average grower owns
q grain binder, while, as rule, unless
he intends to produce soy beans as a
regular rotation crop it will not pay
him individually to purchase special
bean harvester. But where several
farmers in the neighborhood can CO.
operatively buy this equipment such
procedure is cOmmendable. For the
best results, where the grain binder
Is used, the plants should be cut while
some of the leaves are still retained
as then the harvesting is easier and
no loss results from ,shattering.
Moving Machine Used.
The moving machine is also used to
a considerable extent in saving the
soy-bean crop. Generally where this
implement is used it is advisable TO
have a side-delivery attachment, in
order that the horses will not ,trample
on the swath of cut beans. However,

GOOD COWS ARE ECONOMIC CAL
Animals Provide Cheapest, Best and
Most Wholesome Feed-No Way
of Doing Without Them.

The first reason for having good
milk cows on the farm comes from the
fact that they provide the cheapest,
best and most wholesome food for the
family. Their value is hard to esti-
mate when we consider the amount
saved on the bills. Their produce is
a superior substitute for many foods
necessarily purchased at high prices.
In fact, there is no economic way of
doing without plenty of good milk
cows on the farm.

DON'T NEGLECT SMALL FRUIT
Should Be Planted First Because They
Come Into Bearing Before
Larger Trees.

One of the mistakes made by many
when setting out the first fruits Is to
plant apple trees and neglect the small
fruits. The small fruits should be
planted first or at least as soon as any.
because they come into bearing first
and will produce a lot of the needed
fruit while one is waiting on the
apples.
