HOUSE. - 134 Leonard St., N. Y. City, * SOUTHERN / q p.( ! TOPICS OF INTEREST TO THE PLANT Soy Bean*. Tbeir Culture and I'ae. L. M. W., Newborn. Tenn., writes: I would like some information regarding soy beans. How should they be sown: bow much lo the acre: if sown broad1 cast: about what would be the yield? What stock is the soy bean fed to with best results? The soy bean is best sown in drills .14 to 3fl inches apart. About a half bushel of seed is sufficient for an acre when drilled and at least one bushel to a bushel and a pock would bcfcnecessary where the seed i* broadcastea. When sown on clay lands of pood quality a yield of 10 to 12 tons of preen feed will be obtained and from 2 to -1 tons of cured hay. Seeded in drills and cultivated lightly from 25 to .15 bushels of grain will be obtained per acre. Soy beans may be made into hay and can bo fed to any class of farm stock. They do not make as tine liay as the cowpea as the stalks are much coarser and hence the plants are not eaten up as completely as in the case of the cowpea. The grain when ground could be fed to advantage to dairy cows, beef cattic. hogs, sheep and in small quantities to horses. The grain is very rich, containing 2S to ,10 per cent, of digestible protein. A crop of soy beans yielding 25 bushels would thus produce as much protein as would be obtained from more than 100 bushels of corn. Land tbat will yield 25 bushels of soy beans would probably not produce*more than 40 to 50 bushels of corn. The soy bean is particularly valuable as a soil renovating crop and as a grazing crop for hogs. From our experience it would seem that from 500 to GOO pounds of pork per acre or even more can be obtained from grazing down cowpeas with swine. This would give the crop a value of from $25.00 to $40.00 per acre depending on the price of pork. Of course, some corn should be fed along with the soy beans while they are being grazed. Ilogs should be turned on them in the enriy dough stage. The soy bean can be cut with an ordinary corn harvester, bound in sheaves and set up in shocks the srme as wheat. If allowed to thoroughly mature before cutting the seed shatter very badly. Tbe seed are bard and not readily attacked by the weevil as iu tbe case of the cowpea. Soy beans by themselves do not seem to make as good quality of silage as can be obtained from mining the crop, but the difficulty is to mix the crop satisfactorily.? Professor A. M. Soule. Cowpea* and Alfalfa. Alfalfa and cowpeas resemble each other in composition very closely. A ton of alfalfa contains 1S22 pounds of dry matter and 211.6 pounds of digestible protein, 76S ;ountls of carbohydrates and 30.2 pounds of fat. Thus, it Is not surprising that the results of substituting these two foods for cot touseed meal and wheat hran suouiu he practically the same when the composition which is shown in the following statement is considered. Dry Or'oobyM?Wer. Protein tl'afes. Fat. 1 ton cot. sd. nj*1.183t? 741 ."AS 244 1 ton wheat bran. 1702 244 7S4 54 1 ton cowpea hay. 1780 213.S 70S 30.2 1 ton alfalfa 1832 211.0 740.G 27.0 A ton of wheat bran contains 244 pounds of protein. 784 pounds of carbohydrates and fifty-four pounds of fat. Which is practically the same amount of carbohydrates and about twice as much fat?and some thirty pounds more protein than a ton of alfalfa. Cowpea hay is ..lightly richer in protein and fat than alfalfa, and hence more nearly approaches the composition of wheat bran. A ton of cotton seed meal, the richest concentrate . known, contuins 744 pounds of protein. 338 pounds of carbohydrates and 244 pounds of fat. It is not a well balanced food as shown by its composition, and though it contains more than three tiu&s as much protein and more than eight times as much fat as alfalfa, from five to ten pounds of the latter can be used to replace three to four pounds of cotton seed meal in a ration for dairy cows with satisfactory results, due to the appetizing nature of the alfalfa hay and to the variety it gives to the ration. I-'rom a purely theoretical consideration of the substitution of alfalfa and cowpea hay for wheat bran and cotton seed meal, it would seem reasonable that the substitution can be affected within certain limits. Our practical tests couflrm this opiuion. Wn1?ii?i l>nllnr in Florida. At the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station Professor Charles M. Connor has recently been making some experiments in feeding horses and mules with home grown feed stuffs, including cane syrup or molasses, and in this latter we are more especially interested. One of the animals was fed for six weeks on a ration of corn and cane syrup and the other received a regular corn ration. The syrup was flinor Mention. J.

No record was kept of the hay consumed, but the results were found to be very satisfactory and in writing of it Professor Connor says that this syrup, which is a by-product of the sugar factories, is led quite extensively r\%% !?? k-mrof nlontntinnc ?m?1 thn WII IUC CUJ.M I |/iUillUilVU>^ U..M 1MV Florida planters frequently Lave it loft on band and can use it advantageously for horse or hog feed, and this led them to test its feeding value, lie says that the sugar is highly digestible and is one of the most concentrated forms of carbohydrates: that it is very soluble and hence is quickly up in the system and is proven valuable for feeding hard-worked animals or for finishing fat animals for the show ring. Professor Connor quotes Professor Henry, the great authority on cattle feeding, as saying that the feeding value of syrup is equal to that of corn pound for pound. Professor Connor says that as his Florida syrup was thin, live pounds of it were substituted for four pounds of corn in the ration there tested. He states that he has used syrups in preliminary tests with other animals and finds that it was relished by ail farm animals.- In feeding the syrup was given at night and morning and a larger corn ration given at tioou. Atfxlfit Seed. A pound of alfalfa seed contains approximately 310.000 seeds. It is becoming the habit in tiie sugar district of Louisiana to p'ant 30 pounds or about 0,300.000 seed per acre, broadcast. (iood sc.^d. in a scientific testing : pparatus. will give not less than 00 per eent germination. This would afford 3.070.000 living seed per acre. As a matter of fact 10 plants to the square foot or 43o.(WO to the acre is an extremely satisfactory staiul. This means that on land in exceptionally line order rather less than 10 per cent, of the seeuiup: survives. Is it any wonder that on badly prepared soils or weedy ground the last 9 or 10 per cent, perish along with the rest? If only one-half of this last 9 or 10 per cent, fails. th? stand secured from the other half, scarcely live plants to the square loot, will prove a failure in this section. Grass will take the crop and. i: did nor. the plants would have woody steins. The need for a most perfect seed bed would appear demonstrated by these facts and figures, without any one experimenting further on his own account and at bis own cost. Imported seed this year costs about sixteen cents per pound. or $4.S0 per acre. Seed from irrigated land had best not be used on uuirl'lrrntoil tnnrt mill viep VPl'Sa. Speed the l'low. You say this is old advice. Yes. that is tnie. But it will bear repeating until it is heeded. Every energy of the farm is now given to gathering the cotton crop. The plows are standing idle, while cotton pickers are urged on, even with extrti wages if need be. If it is impossible to do both and a choice must be made between then' we do not hesitate to say that the plowing should receive the first attention. The cotton will be bettei by hanging in the bolls awhile, but the plowing cannot be put off without damage. If it is not done at the proper time that time will not return again until twelve months have passed. If you have not already cut your corn, it will pay you to do so yet. even where yon have pulled the fodder. Now is the time to plow deep. Aeration will then have lime to do better work. ?Southern Cultivator. Reflection* of ? Splnmer. To remain a woman's ideal a man must die a bachelor.

A gigantic chestnut tree, with a girth of about twenty-five feet, and under whose branches in 1777 Washington and I^afayette held a council cwar and ate their meals while camping on the place when the American' array was inarching from Baltimore to Phi'adelphia. is one of the many, objects of interest shown to visitorson the McCormick farm, near Balti-' more. This is not a tradition, but a well authenticated fact, as is abundantly attested by the archives of the McCormick family. The first owner of the old manor was George Councilman, who obtained possession of the farm through a grant from Lord Baltimore. The grant is in possession of Mr. McCormick, who prizes it as a precious heirloom. Mr. McCormick became a member of the Councilman family by marriage with Miss Martha Councilman, daughter of George Councilman, who recently died at the advanced age of 96 years. The grant is beautifully engrossed on. parchment and is well preserved and perfectly legible. The place was named Mark Alexander's Range in honor of Mark Alexander, Lord Baltimore's agent at that time. It is situated on the old Blue Ball road, a short distance east of Pokorny's Four mile house, on the Belalr road.

The last year I was confined to the bed nearly all of the time, and much of the time unable to retain food of any sort on my stomach. My bowels were badly constipated continually, and I lost in weight from 105 pounds down to 88 pounds.
