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
the fact that practical and satisfactory
bean harvesters are now on the mar
ket at comparatively reasonable prices
and are efficient for harvesting the
crop either when grown under level
or rldged-row methods of cultivation
greatl.' increases the value Of this
crop not only as a forage for live
stock, but also for human food pur-
poses.
The most common type of special
bean harvester Is a 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-
vester. While the machine moves
along the row the seed is gradually
raked to the rear of the box by one of
the operators. Under favorable condi-
tons two men with 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

1t did for me.
"It is fine for stomach and liver

Acute Indigestion is a serious matter
and needs prompt treatment or dan

good dose of Thedford's Black-Draught
will be of benefit by relieving the
system from the undigested food

Reaper Used In Cutting Soy Beans.


growing varieties of beans. This meth
cd is gaining favor rapidly in many
sections, as the average grower owns
a grain binder, while, as a rule, unless
he intends to produce soy beans as a
regular rotation crop 1t will not pay
him individually to purchase a 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,
where such an appliance is not avail
able, a man can follow the machine
with a pitchfork and remove the plants
at every round out of the way of the
team, for ii trampled upon many of
the seeds will be shelled out Gnd
wasted The shelf-rake reaper, which
really is a moving machine provided
with a punching attachment, gives sat
| isfactory results, as It harvests the
crop without exposing 1t to injury.
When cut with a moving machine or
with a sef-rake reaper, the beans may
be raked in small piles or placed in
small shocks. These piles or shocks
should be left for four or five days
in good drying weather or until the
grain is found to be fairly dry in the

The name Is derived from the Ro-

comparatively late period, the legal
year beginning, even In England, on
March 26, until the change Of style In
1852. For the Romans to dedicate
their first month to Mars and call 1t
Martius seems equally natural, con-
sidering the importance they attached
to war and the use they made OF 1t.

Used With and Without Add
ton Of Shelled Corn.

In a steer-feeding experiment con-
Quoted last year on the government
farm at Beltsville, Nd, four lots of
two-year-old steers were fed. The pur-
pose was to compare cottonseed meal
and soaked velvet beans when used
with and without the addition Of
shelled corn.
The addition of corn to a ration
composed Of corn silage, cottonseed
meal and wheat straw did not pay.
The addition of corn to the ration Of
velvet beans and corn silage was
profitable.
The lot receiving corn silage and
soaked velvet beans with a small guam
tity Of cottonseed meal as an appe-
tizer produced the most economical
gains and showed the greatest profit,
even though the daily gains and the
selling price Of the cattle were lower
than those Of any Of the other lots.

Again he says:

Home again with her grain or
acorns, she thrashed and ground them
