How to Plant and Harvest.
.Some of the following reasons on ac
count of which the Kansas station rec
ommends the soy bean to farmers of
that state will apply in some other sec
tions and may interest those who are
considering the question, “Will it pay
to raise soy beans?”
The soy bean stands drought as well
as Kaffir corn or sorghum. It is not
touched by the chinch hugs, the grain
thrive. The beans should be planted in
rows 30 to 42 inches apart, with the
single beans dropped one to two inches
apart in the rows. One-half bushel of
seed per acre is required. We prefer
surface planting and cultivate the
same as corn. Level culture is neces
sary to harvesting a full crop.
The crop should be harvested when
the pods turn brown and before the
beans-are fully ripe. If left until the
beans become thoroughly ripe, the pods
will open and the beans will he scat
tered on the ground.
The only satisfactory way we have
found for harvesting the crop is to cut

the plants off just below the surface of
the ground and rake them into wind
rows with a horse rake. Where not
over ten acres are grown this cutting

is a richer feed than linseed meal, and
the plant enriches the soil on which it
is grown. It will cost the Kansas
fanner from 40 to 55 cents per bushel
to raise the soy bean, $13 to $1S per
ton. Pound for pound soy beans are |
tvortli a little more than oil meal, and '
feeders are paying $24 to $30 a ton for
oil meal.
A bountiful supply of protein will
greatly increase the milk yield. Soy
beans are rich in protein. Three to
four pounds of soy beans per day add-
to the usur.1 dairy ration of bay,

Prominent Augusta Negro Announces
His Retirement—His Address.
Augusta, Ga., June 19.—Professor R.
R. Wright, L.L.D., president of the
Georgia State Industrial college, and for
the past 20 years one of the leaders in
the Republican party in this state, has
decided to quit politics. Professor
Wright has beeu a member of four na
tional Republican conventions and was
a paymaster in the late war with Spain
with the rank of major.
It is understood that he and President
McKinley are on the best of terms and
that he could receive a handsome ap
pointment in case President McKinley
is re-elected.
In a public address, delivered at Tab
ernacle Eaptist church, of which Rev.
Silas X. Floyd, A.M., is pastor, Profes
sor Wright, in discussing the recent at
tempt to organize a national negro party,
said, among other things:
“1 see that an effort is being made to
organize a national negro political party.
I am frank to say that I am opposed to
such an organization. The negroes are
beginning to lose faith in all political
parties, and their affiliation in politics is
yearly becoming less pronounced. They
do not seem to feel that their success
depends upon the success of any party,
and I am satisfied that they will not join
a national negro party. If they did, I
do not see what good it would do. In
deed, after 20 years of observation, study
and some participation in public affairs,
I am satisfied that the negro race, as a
whole, has not been benefited by poli
tics to a degree commensurate with the
energy, time and money spent in the
fascinating game.”

County Policeman Loses a Finger In a
Negro I>cn.
Atlanta, June 18.—County Police
man J. L. Heard had a lively time with
negro gamblers Sunday, and as a result
of his raid upon a game ou Railroad
street, the little finger of his left hand is
missing, while the middle finger of
Evan Harris, one of the negroes, is gone.
Officer Heard had a spotter out shad
owing a man wanted by the authorities,
who reported that the man was in a
house near the woolen mills. The offi
cer made a search, but when he at
tempted to enter the house he found a
gambling outfit in full operation. The
gamblers had a watcher stationed on the
front porch, but he was fast asleep.
Heard forced his way into the house
aud ordered, the inmates to surrender.
Evan Harris made resistance, and the
officer immediately covered him. Harris
caught the pistol, and in the struggle
which ensued for the possession of the
weapon it was discharged, the bullet
severing the finger of each man. The
negro released his grip on the pistol as
soon as shot aud surrendered at once.

GRAIN SMUTS.
And the Hot Water Treatment For
Tlieir Prevention.
Grain smuts have for years caused
enormous damage. Two classes of
smuts attack the common cereals—
stinking smuts, which attack wheat
only, and loose smuts, which occur on
wheat, oats and barley. The second
cut shows a good arrangement for the
When you start out to “tackle”
the finny tribe don’t forget to take
a bottle of Dr. Tichenor’s Antisep-
tiseptic. Nothing equal to it for fin
wounds, fish hook wounds,bites and
stings of insects and it is no bad
thing for “snake bite.” Remember
it cures colic also while you wait
about ten minutes. Any druggists
can sell it as fast as you can buy it.

OATS IN VARIOUS STAGES OF SMUT,
hot water treatment of seed, which is
one of the important remedies with
wheat and oats. The two large kettles
or barrels should hold 20 gallons where
treatment is on a large scale. No. 1
oontaining warm water, 110 to 120 de
grees F., is for the purpose of warm
ing the seed before dipping it into the
second, which contains hot water at
132 to 133 degrees F. Unless precau
tion is taken it is difficult to keep the
water in the second vessel at the prop
er temperature. A pail of cold water
and a kettle of boiling water should
be kept at hand to draw from when
necessary to raise or lower the tem
perature.
The seed, at the rate of half a bushel
or more at a time, is placed in a bushel
basket made of heavy wire with wire
netting spread inside. A pole or beam
having a hole at one end is passed over
a peg in the top of the first post. The
hole should be large enough to allow
the pole to be moved up and down and
sidewise. By swinging the pole
around the basket can be filled at the
bin, then immersed a moment in ves
sel No. 1, and then swung over to ves
sel No. 2, where the grain is treated
ten minutes. Every minute or so the
basket must be raised entirely out of
the water and allowed to drain. The
pole can be supported on a peg in the
second post. Finally the pole is lifted
entirely over the second post and the
grain removed and spread out to dry.
In dipping the grain into the warm
water the basket is immersed, lifted
and allowed to drain, then plunged
again, and so on, hut less than a min
ute is given to this preparatory treat
ment.
The important points are as follows:
(1) Maintain the proper temperature
of the water (132 to 133 degrees F.),
in no case allowing it to rise higher
than 135 degrees or to fall below 130;
(2) see that the volume of hot water is
at least six or eight times greater than
that of the seed treated at any time;
) newer completely fill the basket or
sack used for treating the seed, but
leave room for the grain to move about
freely; (4) leave the seed ten minutes
in the vessel of hot water.
In drying treated seed spread the
grain in a layer two or three inches
deep and shovel over twice a day. A
clean floor is a good place on which to
dry the grain, hut it is better to put
it on canvas sheets, spread in the sun
upon latticework a few feet from the
ground, as this greatly facilitates dry
ing. In the latter case the sheets, with
the grain, can be taken in at night.
The grain can be sown broadcast be
fore being thoroughly dry, but in case
a drill is used, it must be nearly dry. The
seed may be treated months before be-
IMPROVEMENTS DEMANDED.
CoTrpra Pastnre For Piss.
Some results from pasturing pigs on
cowpeas show peas to he well adapted
to the pigs which were about 3 months
old when turned upon them. The re
sults with the larger pigs show that
pigs which have been highly fed and
kept in a pen all their lives are not
adapted to turning out where they will
have to hustle for themselves if much
gain is expected. Nevertheless such
pigs can maintain themselves and pro
duce small gain.
The pasturing of the pigs upon the
peas has a value to the farmer beyond
what the pigs get and the gain they
produce in that they work the vines
over, tread them down and distribute
manure over the field. This puts the
vines in a good condition to turn under,
and they decompose quickly, which is
space ^ particularly advantageous if the field
1 should be desired to seed to wheat or
rye. Again, the droppings from the
pigs will introduce into the soil desira
ble ferments which would not be pro
duced if the crop was simply turned
under green.
Sngg-estions From a User to Maters
of Incubators aud Brooders.
Improvement is the order of the age,
Criticism is also the order of the age.
For one man who brings about a better
condition of things there are ten who
stand ready to criticise and offer ad
vice. Both are necessary to the march
of progress. We wish to enter the
ranks of the last named in order that
some one may be stimulated to invent
and improve. Let us enumerate a few
of the things we want and probably
won’t get in incubators.
One very simple matter, a slot for the
fingers in the side of the egg tray, so
that when the tray is placed on a flat
surface it will not be necessary do
squeeze one’s fingers in lifting up or
setting it down.
A boxlike receptacle under the tray
Into which the chicks may drop and
which may be drawn out like a drawer
when chicks are .ready to place in
brooder, thus avoiding transferring the
little birds with the hand. It cannot be
too strongly insisted on that the less
handling of chickens we indulge in the
better.
A wire protector for that portion of
the thermostat which enters the hatch
ing compartment of the incubator. A
good thermostat is of necessity a deli
cate apparatus, and we have known
little chicks to disarrange its workings
considerably by their struggles in
emerging from the shell.
In brooders it is possible to go far
ther than in the case of incubators.
The great and fatal lack in most brood
ers is their inability to keep up the
heat in zero, weather. Outdoor brood
ers especially are subject to drops in
temperature which are very discourag
ing both to the chicks and the man who
is raising them.
A brooder should have a lid which
shuts down as tightly as it can be
made to. This can be insured by the
use of cleats nailed to the edge of the
lid or roof and roofing paper placed
over the whole. The door or entrance
in many brooders is altogether too gen
erous in size. Mote cold air in the form
of drafts comes in through this door
than in any other way possible. A
door six inches wide is plenty big
enough for any brooder, and when the
chicks begin to crowd in the doorway
it is time to remove to other quarters.
The fringe or curtain on the edge of
the hover should be of a good length,
almost if not quite touching the floor.
Remember that chicks do not sleep in
a standing posture, and when flat on
the floor they are more than ever sub
ject to the influence of cold winds.
The top or lid of a brooder ought to
be two-thirds or the whole size of the
brooder itself. Nothing can be more
aggravating in cleaning out a brooder
than to be hampered during the opera
tion by the narrowness of the opening
in the top. Everything connected with
the practical working of a brooder
should be as simple and easy as possi
ble. It is the thought put into the de
tails of a machine that counts.
Many brooders have a runway or
board in front of them which takes np
almost as much floor space as the
brooder does. This is a feature which
develops into a positive drawback
where the brooder has to he used in a
small house. The chicks need to be on
the ground as soon as you can get them
there, and a running board three feet
square deprives them of just that
amount of valuable room for exercis
ing, scratching, etc. If the brooder is a
high one, sink it into the earth until
the doorway is only two or three inches
above the level, and you will then be
able to use a running board of mini
mum size.
The dread of fire is one which is al
ways present with the man or woman
who has dealings with brooders. It is
true that the lamp may be of the latest
pattern and kept clean and well filled
with oil. but accidents do happen, and
then away go your building and your
insurance.
We would suggest to the manufactur
ers that by the expenditure of a trifling
outlay they might easily make brood
ers as firep#oof as it is possible for
them to be. The lamp chambers of the
best brooders of today are roofed in
with sheet iron, thus rendering one
part at least impervious to flames. By
lining the sides also with this same
sheet iron we would have an almost
fireproof compartment which in case of
explosion of the lamp would offer noth
ing for the burning oil to feed on. More
than that, it would perhaps tend to
smother or confine the fire to the limits
of the lamp chamber itself.—H. S.

In regard to the hogs skinning the
orchard trees, if you put a dozen or
two of hogs on an acre of land, very
likely they will skin the trees, or a
flock of sheep would also. They must
have room. There must not be too
^any in a bunch. It is said that
hogs will tear down a pigpen to get
the wood to eat. If you throw them
a little lime, they will let the pen
alone. I know that they have been
known to dig out a stone wall for the
lime. If you feed a hog some corn and
don’t starve him to death, he will let
your trees alone. Give the hog room
enough and give him something to eat.
