While we believe in raising more tons or bushels of our tried staple crops on fewer acres, the conspicuous merits of some new er ones entitle Hum to a share of our attention. The soy bean Is ono of these. It may take the place of oats In a rotation where the ellmate Is ton warm for oats t prosper. It Is a good liny . n.p almost anywhere In this cotinlr.v. If raised for tho beans they sell at good prices or make a high protein feed. The soy hean Is n good catch crop for hay. It Im proves the land and makes a tlno seed bed for wheat. Let us learn to ralso It when and where It la needed to readjust a mtntloti or to supply hay with which to bal ance the com crop. National Stockman ami Karmer. ' .. 4 OPENING A BEEHIVE X Mrs. L. A.

Cuckoos, woodpeckers, blackbirds, orioles, sparrows, juya nud certain kinds of hawks are also useful In this way. Where the wlrewonns are too nu merous to be effectively checked by blrda the ouly remedies which have been found effective are cultural meth ods.
