Nothing of Soy Beans
Controlled by Breeding

Nothing, an undesirable character
of soy beans which has attracted a
good deal of attention from growers
during recent years, seems to be large
ly the result of envirOnmental condi-
lions, but there also are indications
that it may be controlled to some ex-
tent by breeding, according to the Illi-
nois College of Agriculture. This mot
Ting, which consists of irregular
patches, blotches or bands of black
or brown on yellow or green soy
beans, is undesirable because, for one
thing, it arouses the suspicion that the
notified variety is not true. 1t also
interferes with the correct Identified
ton of varieties and is particularly
Objectionable in seed certi6cation be-
cause it brings up the question of
purity and trueness to variety type.
That breeding may be means of
controlling nothing is indicated by
the fact that certain varieties show a
greater tendency to mottle than 9th
ers, although they are all grown I'M
der the same conditions. Midwest,
Ito San, Manchu and Hongkong all
mottle considerably when grown on
the college farm, while Dunfield and
certain selections of the A. K. variety
show little or no nothing.

Use of Alfalfa Favored
for Fattening the Pigs

The usual ration of corn and tank
age for fattening pigs can be great
ly improved in efficiency If the pigs
are given some alfalfa hay. This fact
was recently established by the South
Dakota Agricultural college. An an
alysis of the feed records show that
the largest amount of hay was con-
sumed by the pigs when they were un-
der $50 pounds in weight.
The experiment included two lots Of
six pigs each, averaging 81 pounds
each at the start. One lot received
corn and tankage, settled, and made
daily gain of 1873 pounds per pig.
One hundred twenty-one days were re-
quired to reach an average weight
of 225 pounds.
The second lot received alfalfa in
addition to the corn and tankage. The
average daily gain per pig was 1.65
pounds, and an average of 225 pounds
was reached in 98 days, which was SO
days earlier than the first lot fed only
corn and tankage. The alfalfa lots
showed marked advantage in thrift.
ness and In economy Of gains.

DOES NOT AFFECT THE HEART
Rare Old Volume
in Rubbish Heap

In a rubbish heap at Colchester,
England, was recently found an excel
lent example of Cations handiwork,
supposed to have been removed from
Castle museum during the afraid
menace. The work, fine copy of
the Boethius ''De Consolatione Phi
losophiae," consisting of SO pages,
dates back to 1878. For $50 years
it had been in the Castle library when,
during the war, it was taken, for
greater safety, to Birch hail. near Col
chester The original custodian died
nine years ago, and his brother, who
also knew of the hiding place of the
manuscript, died during the war. 9th
er members of the family generally
understood that the copy was some
where in the hall, and many fruitless
searches were made. The library Of the
hall was disposed of four years ago,
but the CaXton was not among the
volumes sold, or it could hardly have
escaped notice. In the past few weeks
a further search was carried out, and,
wrapped in brown paper and lying
amid tn dust and refuse Of the eel
lar, W discovered the beautiful spe-
cimen If the great printers work.

The value of milk as a feed for

Time and material spent in building

Hard, sharp grit for grinding feed,

Angleworms Are Great
Improvers of the Soil

Angleworms are great improvers
Of the SOIL The holes they make in
it admit air, and, especially in heavy
clay, are followed down by roots
deeper than the roots would other
wise go.
But the chief good done by angle
worms is in pulverizing much soil
which passes through them as food
the vegetable matter in it serving
this purpose. Charles Darwin es-
timated that an average of ten tons
to the acre was thus annually treated
enough to cover the land fifth Of
an inch deep. This is rich manure.
It sounds extravagant until you
think how plentiful angleworms are.
Mr.. Darwin figured that they number
$4,000 to the acre Of garden soil and
25,OOO to the acre of meadow land.
Poor soil has few angleworms.
One of the benefits of blowing veg
etable matter into it is that the hu-
mus thus made attracts them. Only
give 'em humus and they move right
in and go to work free to help you
build a bang-up good farm.

Hollo.p Libraries

Long sheets of cardboard printed
and cOlored to give the appearance of
the backs of rows of books may be
purchased cheaply for covering the
empty shelves of libraries. The backs
of standard sets of books of miscel-
laneOus collections may be found in
surprising variety When these are
carefully arranged behind the glass
doors of bookcases the illusion of we'll
filled shelves is almost perfect. 1t is
thus possible to furnish, or appear to
furnish, empty shelf space at a trifiing
expense. The plan of thus taking
large libraries is by no means new. In
the Seventeenth century many beauti-
full bookcases were made in France
with elaborate carvings.

Worldly Wisdom,

A story about John d. Rockefeller
was told by Cleveland banker in a
Y. NJ. G. A. address.
"When Mr.. Rockefeller lived here
in Cleveland" the banker said, she
used to eat his daily roast beef din
ner at a restaurant where the charge
was 35 cents.
swell, one day the roast-beef dinner
charge was raised to half dollar,
and Mr.. Rockefeller at once cut his
tip down from fifteen cents to a dime.
The waiter protested.
"'Mr. Rockefeller he said, If I
were millionaire j wouldn't squeeze
a dime, as hard as you do
"Young man., said Mr. Rockefeller,
if you squeezed your dimes as hard
as do, you wouldn't be waiter"

Wheat and Oats as
Clover Nurse Crops
Tests Show There Is No
Marked Difference.

Tests made for many years by the
experiment station of the University
of Illinois show that there is no
marked difference between winter
wheat and oats as nurse crops for
clover, according to Fl. J. Snider, as
sistant chief of the soil experiment
fields. Farmers who plan to sow
red clover this spring can seed it in
either of these grains and get about
the same results, provided other con-
ditions are equal and favorable for
growing of clover.
In a rotation of corn, oats, wheat
and clover on the McNabb expert
ment field in Putnam county, red
clover had been seeded in winter
wheat for II consecutive years, from
1908 to 1924, and out of these IT
seedlings more than 76 per cent of
them have been successful. On the
Rockford field, Winnebago county, in
rotation of corn, corn, oats and
clover, red clover has been seeded in
oats for Is consecutive years, 1905 to
1919, anu OuL VI JllcSS Id SCculASo ui-
most SO per cent Of them have been
successful. On the Davenport plots
in Champaign county clover has been
seeded in oats for % consecutive
years, 1903 to 1924, and more than IT
per cent of these seedlings have been
successful.
Although the question as to
whether or not winter wheat or oats
afford the best nurse crop and seed
bed for red clover is point open
to argument, the results of these long
continued experiments indicate that
there is little difference between the
two.
When only oats are used as small
grain crop, as is the common corn
belt practice, the only choice in the
matter of nurse crop for clover is
the selection of variety of oats
which may give the greatest advan-
tage to the young clover.

Neuu Musical Device

A Russian musician, s. Gilev, has
invented new musical instrument
which, he hopes, will replace upright
and grand pianos. The instrument,
which has an ordinary keyboard, is in
the form of box one yard wide and
weighing only eight pounds. The
usual strings are replaced by a steel
comb, and the little hammers by tiny
pinchers which touch upon the teeth
Of the combs. Russian composers and
musicians, including Ippolitov-Ivanov
and Avranek, who have played the in
strument at the Moscow Conservatory
Of Music, testify that it is capable of
replacing existing pianos and that 1t
has stronger tone and better intona-
lions than the ordinary pianos. The
new instrument has been named
"Pinchetone."

Devices to Aid Deaf

Some day ear specialists may fit pa
tients with instruments suited to their
particular form of deafness, just as
eye specialists now fit glasses to pa
tients with eye troubles. A first step
toward this distant goal has been
taken in the attempt to standardize
the many hearing devices now on the
market. A survey of these devices is
being made by committee Of the
American Federation of Organizations
for the Hard of Hearing with the CO.
operation of the United States bureau
of standards, which will test instru-
ments submitted to it and will render
a confidential report to the members
of the committee. DR.. Wendell G..
Phillips, president-elect Of the Ameri-
can Medical association, and chair
man of the federation committee on
research, has said that there are more
than seventy-five varieties of hearing
aids on the market, and that they vary
greatly.

Small, but important

Keeping track of the One-celled
plants and animals, too small to be
seen except with microscope, yet
vastly important as the ultimate food
of fishes and all other sea life, Is the
task of w. e. Allen Of the Scrlpps In
stitution of Oceanography, La Jolla,
Cal. Though these minute plants, be-
longing mainly to the dlatom family,
are too small to be eaten directly by
fishes, they form the food of tiny
shrimplike creatures that in their turn
form the food of fishes. An under
standing of the effects on the diatoms
Of light, temperature, chemical and
other conditions is therefore important
in building up an eventual complete
understanding of fisheries and other
sea industries, Mr.. Allen explains.

dash, has returned to his best form
and was one of the stars of the first
annual indoor track meet of the
Crescent Athletic Club in Brooklyn,

Hubbard scored the first leg on
the trophy donated by Supreme
Court Justice James C. Cropsey. He
won first place in the sprint series
with IA points. The second and
third men had IL and 10 points re-
spectively.
The broad jump champion won the
"75" and century and was second
to Cyril Coaffee of the Illinois A. C.

For Chinese Students

= Sun Yat-sen university for Chinese
students has opened in Moscow with
an attendance Of 800, 80 being girls.
The university confines itself to AGA.
demic courses for Chinese who want
to study abroad. Some of the stu
dents are from Canton and southern
China, but most Of them are from
Mongolia and the north. Inquiries
among them to ascertain their prole-
tartan or bourgeois origin showed that
nearly all of them came from well-tO-
do families or had been attracted to
Moscow for adventure and entertain
ment. One peasants son materialized,
but his father has ITO acres and 81
cows-plainly bourgeois in either
Russia or China.
