Things to Do On the Farm in Sep
TENDER.
Specialists Of the Extension Ser
vice, University Of Tennessee, offer
the following timely suggestions of
things to do on the farm in Septem-
Der:
Livestock Sheep: Will use stub
Bile fields to an advantage See that
all the ewes are bred. Hogs: Time
for the fall farrow: watch the brood
sow. Feeding Hints: Silo-filling
time. Cut corn when ready to har-
vest for shock. The finer silage is
cut the better it will pack and stock
will utilize more Of it. Seed for win
ter pasture. Cattle: Feeders should
begin to locate stock for the winter
feed lots.
Market all hens except
those known to be good layers. Fix
houses for winter, Plan a separate
house for the hens. During the win.
ter these must be fed so as to grow
their new coat of feathers, regain vi
tality lost through heavy egg pro-
duction, put on flesh and be ready to
produce strong vitality eggs in time
for the Matching season. Write for
Extension Publication 70-"Tennessee
Open Front Poultry House"
Dairying-Look after cows care
fully at calving time. Separate them
from the herd and provide a clean,
comfortable box stall. Watch for milk
fever In the Home-September's
first duty is to see that everything is
in order for school Plan ahead and
avoid the rush which sometimes at
tends the opening of school. If school
lunches are to be prepared see that
a supply of boxes and baskets, paraf-
fine paper and paper napkins are on
hand. Plan the winter wardobes.
Forestry-Improve the farm woods
by cutting and using the poorer trees
for firewood. Get your wood now,
Haul brush and put it into gullies.
Keep fires out of woods.
Home Grown Seed-If they are of
equal purity and termination they
are better than those that may be i'm
ported. 1t is possible to get good
variety and improve it instead Of let
ting it ''run out" Seed corn Sc
lected in the field for yielding power,
free of disease, properly dried and
stored and tested for termination
pays $40 per day for time SO spent.
A man with horse and sled or wagon
with box cover with Stats can gather
five bushels of soy beans in a day,
More time and attention should be
given to good seed grown on the farm
from start with the right varieties.

me- Binder After Harvest.

A large percentage of the binder
troubles come from depreciation of
the machine while it is standing in
the field. The knotter mechanism of
the binder is complicated and deli
cate piece of machinery and should
not be exposed to the weather. A
heavy coating of rust on these parts
causes most of the knotter trouble
Of the following years. If the ma
chine must. be left in the field for
time it is good policy to cover the
knotter part with heavy coating of
axle grease and tie an old piece of
canvas over the binder head
Binder canvases will not stand any
particular amount Of exposure and so
should be removed as soon as the ma
chine is stopped. Crickets and mice
quickly destroy the canvas and in
some cases even eat the Stats. One
will be repaid for his time if all the
canyases on the binder are well wrap
ped in heavy building paper and sus-
pended on wires from the rafters in
the granarv or hay loft. where thev
can not be molested BY insects and
mice.

Method of Harvesting and Storing
Soy Beans.

Method of Harvesting and Storing
Soy Beans.
The soy bean has two serious faults
which must be guarded against by
the seed growers. The grain skaters
easily from the pods if the crop. is not
cut at the proper time. The grain
moulds easily after threshing if not
thoroughly dry and if not properly
stored, says j. G, McAmis, crop spec
ialist, Extension Service, University
of Tennessee.
Small quantities Of seed for home
supply may be saved by pulling the
plants and Immediately striking them
over a wagon bed covered with Stats.
A Slated box on sled will serve
the same purpose. In using this
simple method, wait until the pods are
dry and the leaves have fallen. Run
the seed through tanning mill.
Soy beans are harvested for seed
with several kinds of machines, such
as the scythe, the mower with a side
delivery attachment, the old-fashioned
self-rake reapers and the common
grain binder Besides, there are
specially constructed machines which
harvest and thresh at the same time,
Time to Harvest-With any Of these
machines, except the combined har-
vester and thresher, the best time to
4 cut is when about three-fourths of the
/ leaves have fallen and most Of the
pods have turned color. When cut
too early the beans cure improperly;
when too late they shatter.
When cut with scythe, the mower
and attachment, or with self-rake
reaper, the beans are raked inmedi-
ately into small piles or shocks to re-
main for four or five days. II it
rains, the piles should be watched
carefully and turned frequently, if
necessary. The use of hay shocking
frame is the best insurance against
loss in wet weather.
When beans are fairly dry in the
pods they may be hauled under shell
ter or threshed Immediately from the
field Small amounts may be threshed
with a frail. A careful thresherman
may adjust an ordinary grain sepa-
rator SO that beans may be threshed
with but little splitting. He may re-
duce the speed of the cylinder by in
creasing the size Of the cylinder pull
leys, or he may use a special set OF
the concaves, or he may remove the
concaves entirely, as conditions re-
quire.
Threshed beans must be stored dry
to avoid heating. The best plan is to
spread them thinly on floor until
they are thoroughly dry, shoveling
them over if necessary. The beans
may then be put in bags, which
should be stored in such a way as to
allow good circulation of air.

needs. Normally he passes a large
portion Of the day in slumber, and
he has been known to sleep for "a
hours on end. Even when awake his
movements are slow and deliberate,
