This plant has been grown for some years in Austria and Hungary, both as a forage plant and a vegetable. It resembles somewhat a Bean; the stems are stiff and hairy, as are the leaves. I'he seeds, which are produced in great abundance, may be used as food, for mankind as well as for beasts, and the straw is eaten by sheep and cattle. Price per â pkt. 10 cts.; 50 cts. per pint; by mail, 65 cts. per pint. From the report of the New Jersey Agricultural College Farm we take the following :â Soya Beans.âWe made another trial of these beans this year, planting them very thick, in two rows, 128 feet long, upon very good ground. They grew well all the season, and ripened evenly, not being much af- fected by the extreme dry weather. The crop of beans from the rows was twenty-two pounds. They can be easily planted and properly tended in rows tw^ feet apart. This year's success is very encouraging. An acre of ground, at the rate these rows produced, would yield thirty-one bushels. The seed was obtained, part in Munich and part in Vienna, in 1878, and it has now been planted three times without showing any signs of deterioration, from our cUmate or soil. It has some most valuable pro- perties as a farm crop. To quote from the paper sent out by the Bavar
