SOY BEANS. The Great Drought Resisting Forage Plant. Also called Soja Beans and German Coffee Berry. This wonderful drought resisting forage plant was brought to this section some ten years ago from Japan. As a feed for live stock, whether grown for the hay or for the beans threshed to feed with some other grain like Indian Corn or Kaffir Corn, its value cannot be overestimated. As a fertilizer it is equal to clover. The beans may be planted after an early wheat crop and will yield a big crop of hay. or if the season is long a crop of beans may be harvested, besides increasing the fertility of the soil for the next crop. Any good corn soil will grow Soy Beans. The plant is not molested by insects of any kind, and heat and drought do not affect it. The yield of beans is from twenty to thirty bushels per acre. In feeding value they are richer than linseed meal. Experiments at the Kansas Experiment Station show that by adding one-fifth Soy Beans to corn or Kaf- fir Corn, when fed to hogs, a saving in feed of from thirteen to thirty-seven per cent, was effected. When fed to milch cows, using three or four pounds of beans per day. along with other feed, the milk yield will be doubled. It is not necessary to grind the beans, they should be fed whole like corn. The plant makes a fine hog pasture, and as a green feed for milch cows it is un- equaled. When grown for the beans, they should be drilled in rows and cultivated like corn, using about one-half bushel of seed per acre. For hay. they should be .sown thickly, broadcast or in drills, at the rate of one and one-half bushels per acre. They should not be planted until after the ground has become warm—after corn planting time. Price by mail. lb. 20<^. 3 lbs. .50SoJ(i Bean. FLAX SEED. This IS a quick crop, being sown in Apr
