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 WRIGHT OUT OF POLITICS.

Where not over ten acres are grown this cutting can he done by removing the shovels from a two horse cultivator and bolt ing to the inner shank of each beam a horizontal knife about IS inches long, the knife set out from the .cultivator and sloping back from point of attach ment to point so as not to clog.

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.

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.” PHINIZY TO OPPOSE ROBBE.

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. Obituary Notices Charged For. On and after this date.

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.

Any druggists can sell it as fast as you can buy it. Price 50 cents. 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. Thompson in Farm Poultry. HOLLEYMAN’S COMPOUND ELIXIR FOR HORSE Colic.

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.
