Soy Beans Produce Best
Hay When Planted Thick

Thickly planted soy beans produce
hay of greater feeding value than
those that are thinly planted, accord
ing to preliminary results of tests
which are being made by the college
of agriculture, University of Illinois.
Soys seeded with a wheat drill at the
ate of one and a fourth bushels an
acre yielded hay with fine stems, only
six per cent of which was refused by
dairy cows. In contrast to this, beans
that were seeded thinner produced
coarser hay, a larger proportion of the
stems being left uneaten. The plot
seeded at the rate of about a half
busheI an acre produced very coarse
hay, 16 per cent of which was refused,
according to DR.. w. B. Nevens, assist
ant chief of dairy cattle feeding at the
college. The difference in the feeding
value of the fine stemmed hay as COM
pared with the coarse hay, therefore
was about II per cent, or about $40
pounds for each on of hay fed.
For one thing the thinly seeded
plots contained more weeds, an Inn
portant factor affecting the quality of
hay.
Larger plots of soy beans are being
grown in the test with the object of
making further studies of the effect
of rate of planting on the quality of
hay.

Red Mites Disposed of
With Very Little Work

The common red mites which often
infest the hen house and kill or stunt
chickens may be disposed of effective
~ with a little labor. These sugges-
lions are offered by the poultry extern
sion men at Iowa State college.
1. Clean up the filth around the hen
house, ventilate thoroughly and let
plenty of sunshine into the house.
2. Construct removable roosts and
dropping boards, allowing as few
cracks as possible.
3. Paint or spray the roosts, walls
around the roosts, dropping boards and
nests with a full-strength solution Of
two parts oil to part stock dip, or
five gallons lime sulphur to 40 gallons
of water. Applications should be made
four 10 six times in spring, summer
and fall, and in pairs, one following
the other in five or six days.

Bees in Orchard
Most Profitable
Modern Methods Of
Handling Insects Are
Not Bothersome.

O~rchardists think kindly Of the low
~ honey bee. There is a very COM
M saying among experienced or
chardists which sums the matter up
In a few words. It is: mo bees, no
fruit" The failure of orchards in
certain parts Of the country, the in
different f~ruiting which is often
blamed on the season, might very Of
ten be traced to the absence of bees.
1t does not make much difference, so
far as the orchard is concerned,
whether 1t is tame bees or wild bees
that perform natures method of fer
t~ilization of the bloom. 1t does, how
ever, make some difference to the or
chard owner in that tame bees will
give him a yield of honey and sure
polarization without the consumption
of extra ground. The same land can
be made to yield two crops just as
well as one.
Orchard Failures.
The discontinuance of the keeping
of tame bees on many farms, and the
additional destruction and disappear
ance of the wild bees in the surround
ing woods have all had their hand
In the so-called failure of orchards"
side lines which the farmer can carry.
He can well afford to consider their
possibilities, not only for their own
sake but for the sake Of the orchard.
Under modern methods of handling
bees, they are not half the bother and
the trouble that they used to be.
Swarming, the old-time bugaboo of
the ~beekeeper, has been practically
eliminated, because we have learned
its cause and by practicing precau-
tionary methods, by getting ready in
advance for the "fun," bees can be
hived in a very few minutes. Indeed,
beekeepers now have ways of prevent
ing swarming If they SO desire.
Modern Appliances.
Modern appliances such as hives,
supers and the uniform pound frames
all aid in encouraging the modern bee
to produce more than his earlier an
cestors did. Ten to twenty pounds per
hive used to be a fair average pro-
duction for one season; now it is not
uncommon for Iowa beekeepers to re-
ceive as much as 200 pounds of honey
from one hive in a favorable season.
An average of 40 to 80 pounds can be
had from each hive under ordinary
conditions per season so Iowa bee
keepers report.
The finest quality honey from
white clover, alsike clover and sweet
clover. 1t is clear and golden. Buck
wheat is often a desirable late feeding
ground for bees, but it falls short of
premium prices on the market because
it is darker in color and a little ranker

Nature Embossed
Carved Initials

An American beech tree was cut
down about one mile north of Morris
vile, Pa. On splitting a section Of
this tree into frewood a remarkable
work Of nature was brought to light.
On one of the pieces Of wood were
plainly embossed the initials "A. ]. D.,
]. E. D., 1884," and on the other piece
were letters and figures exactly cor
responding to the embossed ones,
says Nature Magazine. A careful
examination shows that the tree must
have been about s~ixty-seven years old
when the initials were cut. The en-
bossed part was nearest to the bark.
1t is supposed that the tree, in
growing, gradually evergreen the part
with the initials cut in it, when its
tissue was pressed into the mold-like
initials, forming genuinely embossed
letters and numerals. Who has a
better explanation? What a story of
love or romancei The sections of
wood are owned by Henry Moon of
Morrisville, Pa.

To Make Silage Out
of Soft Corn Crop
Chop Fine and Pack Tightly
Is Plan Urged.

There Is a lack of silo room in many
places for the whole corn crop should
it be frosted or immature. Because
the ears are the most valuable part
they should be saved in any event. 1t
is difficult to save the ears of a soft
corn crop by storage In cribs. In 1917
the Iowa experiment station demon
strated that soft ears in the late roast
Ing stage could be husked, run
through a silage cutter, and tightly
packed into silos with very good re-
suits. The silage resulting after IL
days of fermentation was Of surpris-
ingly good quality and held Its flavor
so well that at the end of two months
it was in excellent feeding condition.
Silage can be made In ten or twelve
days and will probably be ready to
feed two weeks after filing.
ut is not necessary to husk the
corn In order to make soft-ear siIage,"
says Andrew Boss Of University Farm,
st. Paul, MINI. Snapped corn can
tie handled just as satisfactorily as
the husked corn and the husks give
the advantage of greater bulk and ad-
ditional feed.
1.-THE Iowa station urges chopping
the corn finely in making ear-corn 81
lage and packing it tightly in the silo
by tramping, especially near the walls.
Silage made from ears that are par
tally matured may require the addi-
ton of water to insure proper packing
and prevent ~overheating and molding
in the Safeguarding process. Silage
made from ear cOrn should be covered
with a layer of finely cut corn fodder
or stover. If such a cover is not pro-
vided there will be too much waste
of valuable corn. It is not advisable
to make silage of mature or nearly
mature corn. The cobs prevent pack
ing and they do not contain sufficient
sugar to permit the fermentation
which is necessary for preservation.
Ear corn silage should be fed as a
concentrate, not as a r%oughage."
