Soy Bean Hay Should Be
Moved Down Like Glover

Well-eured soy-bean hay may be
stacked or stored in the barn the same
as any other hay. The best stage at
which TO cut beans for hay in order
TO obtain the highest feeding value is
not known exactly, but it is generally
considered that they should be cut
when the pods are well formed and
the lower ones filed. At this time the
largest yield of hay per acre viii be
obtained, although cutting earlier will
give a larger percentage Of protein in
the hay. If cutting is delayed too
long the stalks become woody and
there is heavy loss of leaves.
Soy-bean hay should be moved
down like grass or clover and allowed
TO wilt in the swath, then forked into
small cocks to cure slowly. Too rapid
curing viii cause the leaves TO drop.
If the weather is unfair, place the hay
in windows after 1t has wilted in the
swath and then after ii has partly
cured place in large cocks Three or
four days of fairly good weather are
ordinarily required TO cure soy-bean
hay properly.

be arranged so that one dial will actu-
ate both condensers, but only those
with mechanical ingenuity will care
to make this arrangement. A .00025
condenser and variable grid leak are
suggested for the grid circuit.
The secondary coil may be any
standard inductance, such as a 75-turn
honeycomb coil or the secondary of a
standard neutroformer The latter is
especially suitable, since the variable
condenser is then already attached. If
this is done the primary of the neutro-
former would not be used Regenera-
ton is effected by a honeycomb coil or
rotor ball arranged in inductive rela-
ton TO the secondary coil as shown.
Still another method would be TO
insert a variometer in the plate circuit
TO produce regeneration.
With the arrangement shown In Fig
ure 2 some OF the stronger-powered
stations can be brought in nicely on a
loop. No r. F. application is used
except that derived from the regenera-
tive properties of the tube. The loop
should be a good-siZed one with IA
turns, tapped at the fourth turn,~count-

Some Facts About Women in Business

"HE last decade has seen the
industrial problems of women
u become more conspicuous than
ever before. During the World
war, when the necessity Of replacing
the labor of men by that OF women be-
came obvious. many adverse conditions
were met and endured, and women
achieved deserved recognition as po-
tent factors In the Industrial world.
Since that time has passed II seems
likely that women will, to some extent,
continue TO pursue the occupations
which they then undertook; at any
rate. that they will not lose the recog-
milton gained during the war Of their
importance TO industry.
Their full importance, however, can
not be known unless certain questions
are first answered: How many wom-
en- are at work in the United States
and In its territorial possessions?
Where do they work? What do they
do? Has their number increased or
decreased during the last few years?
The replies TO many of these questions
are to be found in several bulletins
on occupation statistics that have re

Millet Seed Is Rather
Effective in Fattening

The several varieties of millet diff
fer in the composition Of their seeds,
although the range is not great. Mil
let seeds, depending upon variety, con-
tain s TO 10 per cent water, to 5 per
cent ash, 10 to II per cent protein, 2
TO 10 per cent fiber, % TO SO per cent
nitrogen-free extract and to Z per
cent fat. The seed of barnyard millet
is twice as high in fiber as other va
rieties and is correspon1ingly low in
nitrogen-free extract Seed of the
pearl millet has considerably more fat
than other varieties.
Millet seed should always be ground
for live stock feed. When ground and
fed with good roughage in the man.
ner of other grain, millet seed is a
rather effective fattening feed. AT
the South Dakota station millet seed
proved practically equal to corn for
lambs and about three-fourths as eff
fective as corn in feeding to steers
and swine.

Important Cases in the Supreme Court

"HE Supreme court has begun its
new term extending into next
June, facing an accumulation Of
700 cases, or 115 more than 1t
found on reconvening year ago. When
the last term adjourned the court had
under Amusement q cases, fully sub
mitted and ready for decision In these
opinions may be expected during the
new term.
Questions arising out Of recent con-
gressional investigations promise to oc-
cupy the center Of the stage. Another
phase of. the controverted power Of
congress to delve into the accounts Of
business concerns Is before the court
in three cases In which the federal
trade commission, acting under a res
olution of the senate. sought to COM
pei Baltimore grain houses to furnish
data.
In the Claire Furnace case the court
will determine to what extent man
ufacturers and others can be COM
PEELED TO make reports which would
disclose their business secrets.
An important case involving con-
gressional authority probably will
reach the court in the appeal Of the
proceedings instituted against Harry

questions while a witness before the
oil committee.
Among the more important cases
under Amusement, in which decisions
may be expected at an early day, are
those contesting the constitutionallty
of New York and Ohio statutes impos-
ing a franchise tax upon outside cor
porations doing business In those
states; the right of prohibition agents
to stop and search automobiles with
out search warrant; the validity OF
the New York criminal anarchy law
raised by Benjamin Gitlow, who was
convicted under it and who now Is
vice presidential candidate of the
Communist Workers party; the right
TO take property In the hands Of the
alien property custodian TO satisfy
judgments; the right OF strikers TO
jury trial when charged with contempt
of court, and the right to compel bank
rupts TO disclose concealed assets in
a case against Jules w. (Nicky) Arm

pardon In contempt cases Is chal-
lenged in an appeal brought from Chi

Plans of the New Board of Tax Appeal

Animal Should Be Given
Care and Management to
Insure Good Condition.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultural
One Of the most important aims OF
the dairyman should be to have the
services of a good, well-bred bull. says
the United States Department of
Agriculture, and then. having a good
bull. he should be given the care and
management that will insure the
greatest profit from him. He should
be so fed and exercised as TO main-
tain his activity and healthy. vigorous
condition.
Grain to Feed.
The amount of grain 10 feed TO
dairy sires varies from four TO ten
pounds, depending on the size and
condition of the animal and the kind
of roughage A grain mixture recon-
mended by the department as having
been used with success consists of
three parts ground corn (by weight,
two parts ground oats. two parts
wheat bran, and one part linseed
meal Another mixture suggested
consists of three parts ground oats.
two parts wheat bran. one part ground
corn or barley, and one part liaseed
meal.
Ground oats are considered espe-
cially valuable for bulls. Cottonseed
meal is not usually regarded with
favor, especially when fed in large
amounts. Some breeders think 1t
causes impotency.
On some farms the bulls are given
the spoiled or musty hay or waste feed
left by other animals. This is poor
practice. 1t is just as necessary to
feed the bulls properly as the cows.
The legume hays-alfalfa, clover,
vetch. soy bean, cowpeas are excellent
roughage, and should be fed literally
if possible. If the non-leguminous
roughages, such as timothy or prairie
hay, corn silage, slower, or fodder are
fed, a grain mixture higher in protein
should be used.
Use Of Silaae.
Breeders differ as TO the advisable
ity of feeding silage. Some maintain
that a considerable amount of silage
Is likely TO lessen the vigor of bull
and make him sterile. Others feed
silage in large quantities and report
no undesirable results. So far as ex-
perimental work shows, ii is probable
that Stage does not have any direct
effect on the breeding powers. Large
amounts of silage. or other extremely
bulky feeds, may have a tendency TO
distend the paunch so that the bull

and at three or four cities in the
South. At all points cases will be
heard arising in the areas for which
the respective cities are centers.
in order that as large number of
cases as possible may be heard In as
short time as possible, 1t is believed
that the most practicable plan Is TO
start a division out and continue on q
circuit.
AT some Of the points Indicated Il
is likely that there will not be enough
cases TO justify division remaining
in session more than three or four
days, or even less. The points at
which hearings are held and the length
Of any sessions will depend upon the
volume of cases arising In any Of the
areas indicated.
"A definite date for starting hear
ings by divisions at the points indi-
Gated cannot be announced at this
time and IL may be from two to four
months before such hearings can be
begun. The board. however, Is making
every effort to begin - early as pos
sible."

Thought u. S. Flag Was
Solid Crimson Block

Congressman A. Piatt Andrew, wear
ing Legion button, recently addressed
the sixth annual convention OF the
American Legion at Pittsfield. Mass,
and in the course Of his remarks told
the following yarn:
when the Harvard medical unit
was in a little village in France in the
early days of the war, the natives de-
veloped the idea that the United
States flag was a solid block of GRIM
son. In consequence whenever ii be-
came known that the Yanks were
about to heaye in sight. red blankets
were draped from windows, red muf-
fiers were unwound from children's
necks and red flags were flown wher-
ever possible. The peasant women
unhitched their red petticoats, came
to the doors of their cots and danced
on the steps while they waved these
undertakings and joyously screamed,

! The Big Observation-Disclosures Of
this new advance in our civilization
Is fresh evidence that the genius for
progress has not left the American
people, and that our citizens will con-
duct their own business in way best
calculated to promote public welfare
The Goal-The goal we desire TO
reach is an opportunity for every one
to have access to radio communica-
ton without limitation To secure
this, rules and regulations are neces-
sary. Otherwise there would be such
confusion that there would never be
any certainty Of service.
His keynote was no government
control Of radio programs, for that, he
declared, would not be consistent with
American institutions.
But there was peril Of the transmits
sion of malice and Islander in using
this new medium double injury be
cause those wronged can have no OPP
portunity TO reply"
Diffusion of corruptfng literature
was another possible peril; another
double peril, because while parents can
exclude corrupt printed matter from
the home the radio could carry 1t right
into the ears Of the children.

Increased Use of Pure
Bred Sires in Kentucky

Oldham county, Ky, owes an esti-
mated increase of SIPS, 1858 in annual
returns from its live stock and poul-
try TO the growing use of pure bre1
sires. This figure is the result of cal
culations made by G. B. Nance, county
agent for Oldham county, and report
ed 70 the United States Department
of Agriculture. Mr.. Nance based his
reckonings on the difference between
the percentage of pure bred sires used
in his county and an average COM
puted from the percentages of pure
bred sires used in two adjoining coun-
ties. He then combined with this fig
ure data on the superior utility value
of pure bred sires from such sources
as the United States Department OF
Agriculture and state experiment sta
tons.
