Cut Sow Beans for Hav

1t is generally considered that while
soy beans may be cut for hay at al.
most any stage, the best time is lust
as soon as the pods are fully formed
but before the seed is formed. Al
this time the maximum feed value
will be secured and the bay is also
more palatable than when cut later
Later harvesting gives somewhat
greater bulk, but less Of dlgestlble
protein and somewhat lower paiatabil-
fly, thus rendering that method less
satisfactory.

Second Hindu God

In Hindu mythology yishnu is the
second god of the atrimurti," or trim.
ity in which he figures as the pre-
server of the universe, says the De
troit News His friendship for man
was manifested in his ayatars, or in
carnations, which according to some
authorities number 10, and according
to others %. OF these avatars the two
principal ones were the seventh. as
Rama, the hero of the Ramaynna,
and the eighth as Krishna, the hero OF
the Mahabharata. Yishnu is generally
represented as dark-blue man, having
four arms, and is worshlpped chiefly
by the middle classes. He originally
figured as sun-god in the Oldest
yedas, but gradually increased in i'm
portance until in the later Purana he
became the Supreme Deity.

Extra Hurlers

It's we'll for the right field
fans, the most loyal in the
world, to know who that little
backstop is who will warm up
the Washington pitchers in the
bullpen this season. His name
is Bennett Tate. Last year he
was a member of the Memphis
club of the Southern Associa-
ton.
Tate made a fine impression
upon Manager Harris during the
training season in Florida, es-
pecially by his display of pep
per. He is all action when
working behind the bat. Tate
has a fine throwing arm, too,
and showed himself a good
batsman when used in several
pinches. He,is youngster who
should improve, greatly with a
season on the bench and in the
bullpen. He may graduate into
a regular job before he is
through.
