SOY BEAN MAKES ITS WAY
 NORTH TO COLDER cT.nrra

The soy bean, an Asiatic importation. popularly associated with the south. Is making its way north. and. according to reports received by the United States Department of Agriculture, is being well received.
 Most of the varieties first brought to this country were from parts of Asia, whose climate corresponded more nearly to the southern states. Within the last seven or eight years the department has obtained about 300 introductions of soy beans from Manchuris, Korea, and Japan, Some of which grew as far north as the fifty-second parallel.
 The most promising northern varieties are the Black Eyebrow. the Mandarin and the Manchu. all native to latitude of about 4s degrees. on account of which they are adapted to our most northern states. A large number of samples oi Black Eyebrow soy bean were sent to northern farmers last year. and out of 551 reports returned more than 400 were favorable. Reports promise a ---at in. crease in acreage in northern states thi, year.
 Seedsmen are laying in supplies c. these more northern varieties but man, farmers, if unable to obtain northerf s4ed, will plant old varieties. such q, Ito San. From 90 to s5 per cent of so, beans are raised for hay, silaEe. ane pasture, although they are prolific see, producers.

EGGS FOR HATCHING.

Fertile eggs from vigorous stock are essential in good matching. They are ob- tained only from stock properly mated and kept under the best possible condi- tions to secure health and vitality. Eggs From overfat breeding stock do not usual ly produce many strong chicks.
 If breeding birds are confined they should be fed varied supply of grains, meat and green feed. The green feed helps to keep fowls in good breeding con- dition. Free range is usually important in the production of hatchable eggs .as it Is much easier to keep up the vitality of stock. handled in this manner than in birds that are yarded.
 From eight to twelve females of the America nor general-purpose- class and twelve to fifteen of the Mediterranean class can be mated with one male, de- pending on his age and vitality and where the fowls are yarded, but this pro- portion may be increased where the birds have free range. Good ventilation in the house is a great help in keeping the stock l in good breeding condition.
 Abnormal, small and poorly-shaped | eggs should be discarded. Do not set eggs
 which have thin OF. very porous-a appear | ing shells Eggs should be set when | fresh, if possible. and it is not advisable
 to use eggs for matching which are ovei two weeks old although stale ones ire quently hatch. Selecting uniformly larg'
 eggs of the same color is one of th' ] quickest ways to secure uniformity 1T 4 the offspring and increase the size O 1 the eggs. It-is well to clean dirty eggl ! by rubbing lightly with a damp cloth taking care not to rub off any more O the natural bloom of the egg than is nee
 essary Duck eggs usually require wash ing, which does not appear to tnjure thei l matching qualities.

CALVES SHOULD BE FED ALONE.


 Where there are more than one calf to attend to, they should be separated at feeding time so that each will be able to obtain it's share. They can be placed in separate closed stalls for this purpose.
 Calves do not all feed alike, and there fore they should be watched and cattred to as they demand. Some calves can take more milk than others without causing any bad results, and others take the feed best. Whatever they crave that should be allowed them Where this attention is overlooked successful growth cannot be expected
 Every day that the sun shines out warm the baby calf should be turned into an open lot to permit it to run and play until it has had all the exercise it needs. While the calf is in this pen an excellent opportunity is afforded to give the pen good cleaning Sprinkle the floor with lime and upon this fresh bedding, thus giving a nice dry bed for the night. There is nothing more important to the welfare of the calf.
 When the calf has arrived at the age of two months the grain ration should be increased. Keep it growing rapidly by allowing three pounds day of the following ration. One hundred pounds wheat bran, 100 pounds ground oats, 10 pounds oil meal and 25 pounds beet pulp. ,Thoroughly mix.
 This ration should be kept up for an- other month. at which time separated milk should be given in place of the whole milk. and the former should be continued until the animal has reached six or eight months of age. For the young growing calf there is nothing better than milk i even though it is separated milk, as il makes better growth and furnishes vigor

Here's another disappointment. Tur.

he attended public school No. rs. and
lived at 334 East Fifth street. Every
morning he used to take a lunch box
and>go to school; in the afternoons he

night took i'm a show.

Angeles the latter part of the week,
where, after a short breathing spell, he
will resume his picture.making.
