This story illustrates how the desire of the theatrical artist for "exclusive business' is probably transmitted from one generation to another: "I was present one night last week when my sister was putting her youngsters to bed," says Uncle John. "She has reared them like old-fashioned children, and taught them to say their prayers at night. This night. Sammy hesitated, and there was a worried look on his face. He had got no further than 'Now I lay me,' when he stopped. " 'Say. muvver." he complained, 'I don't fink I'll say that prayer. I heard another fellow say It today, and if we aren't careful it will get all over town the first thing we know!'" Trouble Enough.?Miss Hodges, the Sunday school teacher, glanced around at her class as the song, "I want to be an angel," was being sung and when It was finished, she looked at one of the little girls and said: "Hannah, you were not singing that beautiful song, 'I want to be an angel,' with the rest of us." "No, ma'am," replied the child, shaking her head. "And why did you not sing?" asked the teacher. "Well, I'm not going to tell a story about It," said the litle girl. "I'm having enough trouble learning to play the piano without bothering with a harp." Artful Tommy.?Private Tommy Simshad had pneumonia, and had been for some time in the hospital, where they treated him so well that he was much averse to the prospect of being discharged as "cured."

He pulled the thermometer out of his mouth and propped it into a cup of hot tea. replacing it at the first sign of the medico's turning. When that worthy examined the thermometer he looked first at Tommy and then back at the thermometer and gasped: "Well, my man, you're not dead, but you ought to be!"

ABOUT THE SOY BEAN An Important Crop for the Cotton Belt. GOOD FOR STOCK AND FOR MAN Interesting Article Prepared by W. J. Morse, Scientific Assistant. Forage Crop Investigations, Bureau of Plant Industries?A Crop That Has Been Raised in This State With Success; But Might Progress Much More. Introduction. The soy bean, also called the soja bean and the Manchurian bean, is an erect, rather hairy, leguminous plant, resembling somewhat the common field or navy bean. In China and Japan this bean is grown extensively, being used for Human rooa, ior torage, and as green manure. The soy bean is a valuable crop in various ways, and for certain conditions has many points of superiority over the cowpea that should recommend it to the average farmer. One of its most common uses is for hay, which is comparable to alfalfa and red clover in feeding value. As a pasture plant, the soy bean is especially valuable for hogs. It also makes an excellent ensilage crop with corn. The soy bean can be used to advantage for green manure, greatly increasing the supply of humus and nitrogen in the soil. The use of the seed or meal as a substitute for cottonseed or oil meal in the feeding ration has given excellent results. As a human food the soy bean should find increased favor, as it can be used in many different ways. In the growing and handling of the soy bean, special labor and machinery are not necessary, the ordinary farm equipment meeting all the requirements of the crop. The growing and harvesting it, and its freedom from insect enemies and plant diseases should encourage the planting of this crop. Adaptations. The soy bean has a wide adaptation as regards soil and climatic conditions. In general, the northern limit of its adaptation in the United States may be said to be that of corn and the southern limit that of cotton. In other words, it will succeed in the United States wherever corn or cotton are cultivated. It is especially adapted to the cotton belt, where the later and larger varieties, which give yields that make their extensive cultivation profitable, can be grown. Rabbits are exceedingly fond of the soy bean and often cause damage to small areas. The soil requirements of the soybeans are quite similar to those of corn, but the plants will make a satisfactory growth on poorer soil than corn. The best results, perhaps, are obtained on medium loams, although clay and sandy soils ma' * made to produce good crops. soy bean does not require a well lined soil, although a soil where .vater stands for a considerable length of time is not desirable. It is able to withstand a greater amount of moisture, however, than either cowpeas or corn. The soy bean is also decidedly drought resistant; much more so than the cowpen. Soil Preparation. Soy beans succeed best on a thoroughly prepared soil. The land should be plowed early and deep, fitted, and 1 then harrowed at intervals until the beans are planted. The young plants or soy beans are not able to pusn their way through a hard crust, as are corn and cowpeas. Thus, to Insure a good stand, the seed should i have a light covering of loose, mel- i low soil. Fertilizer*. The use of commercial fertilizers is recommended where sandy soil predominates or the soil is of a low fertility. Where fertilizers are used good results have been obtained by 1 using a dressing of stable manure or 200 to 300 pounds of acid phosphate and 100 pounds of muriate of potash. In using the commercial fertilizer it is well to apply broadcast before the beans are planted. Lime has bee. 1 found almost invariably to increase 1 the yield. Inoculation. Soy beans, like other legumes, when ] well inoculated add much nitrogen to i the soil. Natural inoculation now oc- 1 curs quite generally throughout the 1 soy bean region in the southern Unit- 1 ed States. In localities where the crop 1 has not been previously grown, how- 1 ever, it is advisable to inoculate. In- ! oculation may be most certainly se- 1 cured by applying soil from an old soy bean field, using 300 to 500 I pounds of soil to the acre, or by dust- 1 ing the seed with such soil before 1 sowing. 1 Seeding and Cultivation. 1 Soy beans may be sown at any time 1 after danger of severe frosts is over, 1 ranging from early spring until mid- I summer. In the cotton region two ( crops of the early and medium early 1 varieties can be grown in a single 1 season by planting the first early. As 1 a rule, however, the late varieties are 1 preferable in the south and should be 1 planted about the same time as corn. Soy beans are grown either in cul- 1 tivated rows or broadcasted, depend- 1 inp on the purpose for which they i are grown. The row method is preferable in weedy land and usually 1 gives larger yields of hay and prac- : tically always seed. The general prac- i tice for seed production is the row method. 30 to 48 inches apart. For i hay, soiling, or green manure., a drilled or broadcasted crop furnishes a finer quality of forage. In rows, from 20 to 30 pounds of seed to the acre are required; when sown broadcast or drilled, from 60 to 90 pounds. Soy beans are generally drilled with an ordinary grain drill. By covering the feed cups not in use the distance between rows can be adjusted as desired. The cotton planter has also been found satisfactory for use in planting large fields. For small fields the ordinary garden drill does well. Fader proper soil conditions soy , beans germinate in thre< to five days. As soon as the seedling plants appear above the ground cultivation may begin. Soy Iteans should receive at least three cultivations. Rotations. Soy beans may be combined advantaireously in many systems of crop rotation. The cash value of the se"d is sufficient to encourage the growing of these beans as one of the main crops of the rotntion. In the south, soy beans are adapted to practically the same place in rotations as are cowpeas. In some localities a soy bean crop is grown between two wheat crops and in other parts between two oat crops. Wheat, winter oats and winter barley may follow soy beans. Where a whole season can be devoted to soy beans in thf south, two crops of early varieties can be grown In place of one later variety. By this practice much larger yields can be obtained where seed production is the object. Mixtures. Soy beans may be satisfactorily grown in combination with other crops, thus affording a greater variety and a larger yield of forage. A mixture of soy beans and cowpeas makes a very satisfactory hay. Soy beans are more generally grown with corn than with any other crop. When sown in rows with sorghum or Sudan grass they have given very good re-1 suits. Varieties. At the present time about fifteen varieties of soy bans are handled commercially be seedsmen, the most important of which are Mammoth (late), Hollybrook (medium late), Haberlandt (medium late), Medium Yellow (medium), Ito San (early), Guelph (medium), Barchet (late), Ebony (medium late), Peking (medium late), and Wilson (medium late). All of these varieties, with the exception of Barchet. are suitable for hay and seed production The Barchet is especially adapted for hay and green manure in the gulf states. For seed production alone the Mammoth, Hollybrook and Haberlandt are to be recommended, while the WilBon, Peking and Ebony are better adapted for hay. Soy Beans For Hay. Soy bean hay makes a very nutritious feed and is relished by all kinds of stock. The chief value of the hay lies in its high content of digestible protein. Feeding experiments indicate that soy bean hay is fully equal to alfalfa hay. The use of this hay, which can be grown on the farm should reduce the quantity of feed which It is necessary to purchase. Soy beans may be cut for hay at any time from the setting of the seed until the leaves begin to turn yellow. The crop is best fitted for hay when the pods are well formed. Soy bean ha is cured much more readily than cowpea hay. The yields of hay range from one to three tons to the acre, and occasionally four tons are cut to to the acre. Soy Beans for Pasture. The soy bean may often be utilized to advantage for pasture for all kinds of stock, the most profitable method, perhaps, being to pasture with hogs, supplementing the corn ration. Corn and soy beans may be grown together and then pastured down. In this way the crop is not only profitable In feeding value but also in the Increase of soil fertility due to the manure and refuse vines. Soy Beans for 8oiling. Among soiling crops the soy bean has an important place. Having a high protein value, the crop may be fed to good advantage with less nitrogenous crops, such as corn, sorghum and millet. The great variation in the maturity of the varieties makes it possible to have a sucession of forage throughout the greater part of the summer and fall. Soy Beans for Ensilage. The use of soy beans alone a ensilage is not to be recommended. Good results are reported where soy beans and corn are mixed, three parts of corn and one part of soy beans, in filling the silo. This silage keeps well, is readily eaten by stock, and the animals show good gains in flesh or milk production. Soy Beans for Seed. Thus far soy beans have been a very profitable crop when grown for seed, but the industry has been developed mainly in a few sections, such as eastern North Carolina. The character of its growth, its uniform maturing habit, and its yield of grain recommend the soy been for seed production. Under ordinary conditions the best varieties of soy beans will yield from 20 to 30 bushels to the acre. The cost of producing the crop when the beans are planted in rows is generally about the same as for corn. In addition to the value of the seed, ranging from $1.25 to $2.50 per bushels, the benefit to the land on which the beans have been grown and the thrashed vines as a source of feed must be taken into consideration. The feeding value of soy bean seed, which contains about 35 per cent of protein, is very high and compares favorably with other concentrated feeds. For feeding to animals the seed is ground and used with some less concentrated feed. Experiments comparing soy bean meal and cottonseed meal indicate that soy bean meal Is superior to cotton see dmeal both for milk and butter production. When grown for grain alone, soy beans may be cut at any time from the yellowing of the upper leaves until all of the leaves have fallen. The plants should remain in the field until the seed is thoroughly cured. In harvesting the crop for seed a selfrake reaper or a mower with a bunching attachment will do very satisfactory work. With the taller varieties a self-binder can be used. If only a small area is grown soy beans may be cut with a sickle or pulled, tied in bundles, and flailed out when thoroughly dry. Soy beans may be thrashed with an ordinary grain thrasher, with a few adjustments. The cylinder should be run at one-half the sneed used in thrashing grain, but at the same time the usual rate should be maintained for the rest of the separator. In order to prevent splitting the beans some of the concaves should be removed. Special bean and pea separators are now on the market and do very satisfactory work. Soy beans may be thrashed in the field without previous stacking, or they may be stacked or housed and thrashed later. Kor the best results soy beans should be thoroughly dry for thrashing; otherwise much of the seed will remain unthrashed. Storing Soy Beans. After the beans are thrashed they should be placed in shallow bins or spread out on a Moor for a time. The massing of large quantities of beans, especially if they are not thoroughly dry, will cause them to heat, thus preventing germination. Under whatever conditions they are stored the seed should be examined occasionally to detect any tendency to heat Soy beans do not retain their germinative power as well as cowpeas. Germination tests indicate that It is not advisable to sow seed two years old without previous testing. Value for Human Food. Although soy beans as an article of food have attracted attention from time to time in the United States, thus far they have been but little used. The honns contain but a trace of starch and they are highly recommended as a food for persons suffering from diabetes. The numerous ways in which the soy bean can be prepared as human food should encourage its use. The green bean when from threefourths to full grown has been found to compare favorably with the buttej or Lima bean. The dried beans may be used like the field or navy bean In baking or In soups. When prepared In either ol these ways the beans require a somewhat longer soaking and cooking. The soy bean has been sold In this country to some extent as a coffee bean. When roasted and prepared it makes an excellent substitute for coffee. Soy bean meal or flour may be used as a constituent of biscuits, muffins, and bread; In fact, In any recipe where corn meal is used. In the various preparations inree-iuurwin buj uuui ui meal and one-fourth wheat flour are recommended. Soy Bean Oil and Cake. Soy beans, in addition to their forage and food value, contain a valuable vegetable oil. The yield of oil varies to a great degree with the variety, ranging from 14 to 24 per cent. The oil is utilized to a great extent in Europe and the United States for culinary purposes, as a paint oil, in soap manufacture .and in many other industrlee. The soy bean cake, remaining after the oil is expressed, is made up into meal and makes a highly nitrogenous food. Practical experience, supplemented by careful experiments, indicates the value of the meal as a food oil Lrfrisia r\f llva otnnlf GENERAL NEWS N0TE8.

AVAILABILITY OF LIMESTONE I Experiments Show Results When Ground Coarse or Fine. ' One of the most important questions i concerning the use of ground lime stone is that of the proper degree of fineness. In recent years certain writers in the Middle West have asserted that if limestone is ground i finely enough so that the coarse par, tides are of the size of smalt peas, it will answer agricultural purposes. It has also been intimated that such limestone is more economical than the s finer product. This is based upon the r ! slightly greater cost of fine grinding. and upon the idea that the coarse 1 material will insure the presence of c ! some carbonate of lime in the soil for _ i a considerable number of years after . its application. It seems to be practically accepted c ' by all authorities on the subject of a lime for agricultural purposes that it 0 is only the very fine product which can be immediately useful. It Is also c well known that If enough finely b ground limestone is added to a soil u to fully correct its conditions at the . outset, the effects of such an application endure for several sue- a cessive years. It is also well recognized v that If too little finely pulverized ]j limestone is used at the outset, there ?H1I (nAtrUahltr ha o nnnoMorahlo shortage in the crop, even though s ample quantities of fertilizers are em- h ployed. This loss In the first crops may readily be sufficiently great to P pay many times over for the slight ad- a dltonal cost of finer grinding. c Some experiments have Just been . conducted by Hartwell and Damon at the Rhode Island Agricultural Exper- a iment station which shed a strong t light upon this question. Land of t very uniform character, but highly deficient In carbonate of lime was se- e lected for the purpose. Liberal quan- o titles of the same kind of complete t fertilizer were applied in like amounts , in all cases. Experiments were conducted with mangels and with carrots. 1 The experiment with mangels In t 1913 showed that for every 107 pounds t of crop secured without the use of . lime, there were 138 pounds, when all the lime was fine enough to pass a 10- t mesh sieve, but was too coarse to * pass a 20-mesh sieve; whereas, when a all of it was fine enough to pass a sieve having 80 meshes to the linear e inch, the yeld amounted to 389 v pounds. The following year (1914) e the yield of carrots without lime amounted to 175 pounds. The yield where the coarser limestone siftings a were used amounted to 314 pounds, v and the yield where the lime was all ? fine enough to pass an 80-mesh sieve was 563 pounds. In the former case the unsifted t limestone gave a yield of 279 pounds s of mangles, whereas the next year the j unsifted limestone gave a yield of 470 pounds of carrots. In this case the m i unsifted limestone had been ground so fine that all of it would pass through a sieve having 10 meshes to the linear inch. The finest grade of limestone, all of which was capable of passing a sieve having 80 meshes to the linear inch, was found to be slightly more effective, considering the total yield of the two years, than the same amount of lime in the form of slaked lime. These results indicate, therefore that very coarsely ground limestone, even If it is all much finer than has been mentioned on frequent occasions in the Middle West, is far less economical for general agricultural purposes than that which is more finely ground. This point Is particularly impressive when one bears in mind that the unsifted ground limestone produces but 270 pounds of mangels, whereas the fine product produced 389 pounds. It was found upon examination of the unsifted ground limestone that 56 per cent of it passed through a sieve having 80 meshes to the linear inch; 13 per cent, which was too coarse to pass through an 80-mesh sieve, passed a in.maah alftVA' nriH 12 ner cant nassed through a 10-mesh seve, but was too coarse to pass a 20-mesh sieve. These results show conclusively . that If the limestone had been ground so that all of It would pass a 20 or 30mesh sieve, Its efficiency would have been decidedly Increased, and by the additional grinding necessary to secure that degree of fineness, the percentage which would have passed an 80-mesh sieve would have been still greater than It was in this case. Actual tests in the field are the only true basis for drawing conclusions as to whether coarse or fine limestone should be used. In this particular case actual experiments support what ought to be evident, and they are in accord with the practical experience ns noted In progressive farming communities.?Dr. H. J. Wheeler, formerly Director of the Rhode Island Experiment Station. THE SIZE OF THINGS Time for Men to Take ? New Measurement of Themaelves The war must bring the glow of honest shame to the cheek of a good many persons who are made to realize how small they and their affairs measure against the reddened landscape. If the war has called a halt on the evolution of beauty in art and architecture, on private advantages and public utilities, on works of charity and wheels of industry, it has also called a halt on many a man's overweening and aggrandized estimation of himself. He must revise his scale of values. He must regulate the thermometer that takes the temperature of his passions. He must reject his false weights and measures, whereby he sought to cheat his own soul Into thinking his bargains fair. A new bureau of standards is set up, whose business is not physical but spiritual mensuration, calling a man's personal rectitude into account. The size of things as we see them depends on our own size. The Ant says to the man: "If every sand-grain seemed a huge stone, Should you fro walking all alone?" To little men, every contact is colossal. The letter "I" Is the Alpha and Omega of their alphabet. They are fond of recapitulating past chapters in which they think they played a large part. They name their empty honors. They form societies to pamper and dandle a petty dignity. One tires of their incessant lovesong to themselves, their one-string serenade. The great, surprising shock to the mere onlooker is that when issues of life and death are mooted, and the fate of a nation trembles in the balance, there still is time and room unywhere to quarrel over petty details of ways and means. Certain men cannot see that the deluge is after them and round about them, if they do not act at once; yet they must interpose minute and querulous objections in order to be heard. Men with enterprises of moment warmly awaiting them grow restive. Their work is tied down by little strings, like Gulliver lashed securely by the minute webbing of the Lilliputians. They gnash their teeth with impotent rage to find themselves frustrated by these petty affairs whose sum total comes so near to zero. Yet they must "be patient and proud and soberly acquiesce," making no fuss over the loss that delay brings in its train. There is no society for the Suppression of Unnecessary Noises that they can call upon to silence those whose loveliest music Is the sound of their own ( voices?lnsuppressible toastmasters at life's banquet, who want to do all the talking themselves, or at least establish a severe time limit for every one else.
