Farmers are committing the same old crime in u good rnuny sections this fall through the practice of setting tire to straw and burning it to ashes in order to "get it out of the way." Oat straw and wheat straw are go- ing up in clouds of smoke on a lot of farms. There are some sections where a man would be regarded weak• minded for doing such a thing. Wherever the weather has been unfavorable and crops are short people are planning to use that straw for feeding purposes. Oat straw is sold in every big feed market in the country, and it Is. sold for feed too. We ought to keep that before ns .when we are tempted to go out and put a • match to some irregular straw pile. Cattle will go hungry in some sections this winter for lack of enough of this same oat straw that we are sending up in smoke to get it orf the ground. In the grain sections there is a world of straw that might be baled and sold, scattered over the fields as a manure, fed or used as bedding. Of course everybody not s >s burning the straw, for there are a great many who know about its value. They un. derstand that they are burning up just so much of the valve of the land when they do it. -Farm Progress.' [(11111 IIIf Was,All Run Dawn WITH HEART TROUBLE AND NERVOUSNESS.

An Excellent Pasture Crop For Hogs and Other Stock, [Prepared by agricultural department. University of Minn9sota.1 Alfalfa plants may be dug in the fall and stored as nursery stock. The. plants may be set out as early in the spring as the ground will work up in gogcare not to let using c e good condition, the -i roots dry out in the least during the process. While this method, may n in securing a usedto advantage be g valuable few plants or in moving plants from a field: that, is to be plow- ed, it is not a practical plan to follow in securing stands of alfalfa. The yield and quality of alfalfa hay secured depend upon the character of the stand, the soil. the weather during The Adsuki Bean. A plant immigrant from Japan that seems likely to. prove a most desirable .addition to American agriculture is +the adsnkl bean, which has been sum Ieeaefully grown on the government's farm at" Arlington, Va., and at many other places. Its most valuable fea- ture lies in its large yield of seed. Owing to its" texture the bean is easily ground into meal' or Sour and has proved far superior to' any other been for that purpose. Ile flavor is delicate r and it lacks any objectionable "beany" The adsuki bean is a most pop- ulmr food in Japan, and there seems no reason why a food,so rich in pro- tein should not become popular in the United States. A statement from the department of agriculture says the lev- erage yield per acre of the best.varie- ties of the adsnki'bean at the govern- ment's farm has, been about twenty- aye wenty ave bushels. The bean is a summer annual, requiring about the same'cli- matie conditions as the common bean. The plants are bushy in habit,'grow- ing from one and one-half to two feet high, according to variety and soil. The beans are not only prolific, but ripen evenly and do not shatter read- ily. It has.been evident, however, that these beans cannot compete with either cowpees or soy beans as' bay producers. Their initial growth 1s slow and their total yield of herbage enferior. • 00070 DOVER Sort At, WLSA, the growing season and whether the alfalfa Is cut each time as soon as it is at the proper stage of maturity. With a moderately good stand and fa- vorable weather conditions on a soil that will produce rorty or fifty bushels of corn per acre, three or four tons of alfalfa hay may be expected in three cuttings. Under more favorable con• ditions from four to six thus are often secured. of cool. covers of duck or The use muslin to protect from the sum and ram is desirable in the curing of n1- falfa. These covers are no more nec- essary in curing alfalfa than in curing clover; but, since alfalfa • hay is so much more valuable, it pays to get the best possible hay. Alfalfa makes an excellent pasture crop for hogs, When it is used for this purpose a sufficiently large field should be sown so that the hogs may have access to it and the regular hay crops be removed just as if no hogs were on the field. With so large u pasture the hogs root up very little except near the feeding and watering places, and mowing at the proper times keeps the plants g'l'owing and allows them to produce vigorous young stems, which are relished by the bogs. 'Clover pasture lasts but one year, and the field is then plowed and planted to some other crop, so rooting and close pasturing are not so objectionable. When as many hogs per acre are put. on an alfalfa field as are usually put on a clover field permanent injury to the stand is likely to result. In many of the states where alfalfa is com- monly grown both cattle and sheep are pastured on 1t. There is no reason why it should, not be used with suc- cess for cattle and sheep in Minnesota if the necessary precautions are tak- en to prevent bloat by turning stock on it the first few times only after tbey are well filled with other feed that they are used to. Alfalfa should not be pastured down close at any time during the first season or later. A growth of three or four inches should be left on the field in the fall for win- ter protection. • Destroy the Cutworms. Now is the best time of the' year to destroy cutworms. Land should be plowed and thoroughly packed before cold weather. The earlier the plowing is done the better will be the results, The plowing brings the cocoons to the surface where they are destroyed by the elements. Only in rare cases do cutworms ever bother crops that are ter` planted upon fall, plowed' land. -Bet Farming Association. 0000000000000000000.0000'0 CONCERNING BEES.' 00000000000.000000000000 If people knew what a great source of profit is found in the keeping or bees and how interesting the work there wouldn't be an *noised square foot of ground on auy farm in the United States, writes Wesley Forster, Colorado state bee inspector. Bees are the only producers known to husbandry that yield a profit with. out cost to feed. They find their own pasture. The multiply so rapidly that they more than pay for the small initial expense of housing them, and the first cost of equipment is almost trifling. Bee culture may be made profitable by the children of the farm or by the women members of the family. It may be carried on successfully In con• junction with the keeping of poultry or growing of fruit. 'in the latter case apiculture is found to be a great help toward more fruit and better fruit.

Valuable as Any Legumes and a Great Soil Renovator. The soy bean is at least as valuable as any of the legumes and in many localities pays better than any other. It is capable of being made a staple grain crop and is a: great soil renova- tor. It is a cranky crop on soli whirl' has not been inoculated with its pecu- liar^,bacterium, which differs greatly from the bacteria of other pod bearers. There is good reason for thinking that the bacteria of clover, alfalfa, cow - peas, sweet clover and the ordinary' and beans and such wild vetches legumes as the locust tree are able to adapt themselves to other plants, so that once crop to some extent inoculates SOY REAMS. for any other. But the soy bean in- oculation is so far different from the rest that the plant must have its own bacteria or it cannot take nitrogen from the air. The Kentucky experi- ment station has found, however, that the first cIOP of soy beans on any field will have a few nodules on the roots and that the next year the inoculation for the send crop will be found per- fect. The lesson in this to the average farmer is to plant a small patch of soy beans at the first opportunity, and by following this with another crop be will have a field from which he can take soil for inoculating the rest of his farm as found desirable. The same method will work well with alfalfa and other legumes. Every farm should have at least a small patch well inocu• dated by repeated plantings with the bacteria of all the good leguminous crops. -Farm and Fireside. as usual' to our 'farms and in our in the year there is no country un shops, mills, mines, 'warehouses der 'the sun so f'av'ored by Providen tn 'factories and offices looking con co as Sas a fidently forward to the dawn of a AlUkex+bcarshewaNles.eage tinned peace and priespeeley-xn Certs reminds` L.

Coughs and colds do not call for a minute recital of symptoms as they are well known to everyone, hut their clangers are not so well known. All the most serious affections of the throat, the lungs and the bronchial tubes are, in the be- ginning, but coughs and colds. Many people when they ,contract a slight cold do not payany attention to it, thinking perhaps that it will pass away in a day or two. The upshot is that before they know it, it has settled on their lungs. 'no much stress cannot be laid on the fact that on the first sign of a cough or cold it must be gotten rid of immediately, as failure to do this may cause years of suffering from serious lung trouble. DR. WOOD'S NORWAY PINE SYRUP will cure the cough or cold and prove a preventative from all throat and lung troubles. such as bronchitis, pneumonia and consumption. Mrs. B. E. Druce, Brighton, Ont., writes: "I am sending you my testi- mony of your Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, telling you what it did for my little girl. The doctor had given her up as she was,asthought, goinginto a decline withwe s . the cough she had.
