It seems to make an excellent hay, and the stock eat it well. It is a heavy nitrogen gatherer, and the tubercles cn its roots are the largest of any plant I have observed.

S°JA BEAN- (s°ja Hispida.)—Many uses are found for this plant, the cultivation of which is being revived after being practically dropped some years ago. It is Aery prolific, and tests of the nutritive value of the beans indicate that it is decidedly superior to Cow Peas for feeding purposes. For ensilage and fertilizing it is also verv desirable, although by no means of such extraor- dinary and incomparable im- portance as is often repre- sented. The plant thrives well in hot and dry weather, and has a stout stalk which holds the pod well clear of the ground. The pods are pro- „ duced in clusters of from two fV to five, and each one contains four smooth, oval, nankeen- colored seed.
