ONE CROP FOLLY. t The evils of one crop agricul ture are not to be meusured In the immediate present, but in turn over a wornout farm to our y f of the south and the wheat fields g of the north und west bear mute Z f but emphatic witness of the nul- Z cldal policy of adhering to but Z 5 one crop. Kansas Kurmer. Grade 8ood Grain Early. Do not wait until spring to clean aud grade your seed grain. Do It now, while you have plenty of grain at hand from which to Belect. The best twenty fivo bushels of grain out of a hundred bushels are worth much more for He?d than is the grain that can be cleaned from a much smaller amount in the spring. The coet of thus cleaning and grading the grain Is very slight, and it enables one to have heavy, plump need grain at very llttlo outlay. Exchange. Fertilizer For Dahliai. Any good commercial fertilizer rich in ammonia und phosphoric ucid and liberally supplied with potash will suit Uahllas, but the best results are ob tained by using it In connection with manure. Prepare the ground as yon would for corn. When the plants arc flowering freely n handful of lop dress ing to each plant and four parts bone meal to ono part nitrate of soda will be very helpful. Rural New Yorker. HILL TO REMAIN AS PRESIDENT OF ROAD Will Puh Development Work on Recently Acquired Oregon Land "It is the intention of L. W. Hill to give personal attention to the development of Oregon throueh the Oregon & Wesetrn Colonization Company, of which he secured control recently," said Carl R. Gray, president of the North Bank and the Hill lines in Oregon, upon his return yester day from a ten days'stay at St Paul and Chicago, where he con ferred with heads of the various Hill roads. "Although Mr. Hill probably will be more active than ever in bringing settlers to the state, now that he has a con trolling interest in 800,000 acres of undeveloped land," said Mr. Gray, "I know positively that he has no intention of resigning the presidency of the Great Northern very soon. So long as he remains in that position it would be somewhat inconvenient for me to succeed him, however much my newspaper friends may insist that I am slated for that office. "More than three months ago Mr. Gray promised his friends in St Paul that whenever he gets ready to leave the Great North ern he will give them at least six months' notice in advance. That notice is still forthcoming. Out side of the newspaper columns I have never been advised that I am expected to succeed Mr. Hill." And Mr. Gray added further that he was glad that no change was expected, in as much as he was deeply interested in the develo pment work going on in this state at present. Convenient Grain Box. Take a dry goods box. about fifteen Inches deep, eighteen inches wide and two and a half feet long. Baw a rec tangular bole in one end large enough to receive the grain and hinge a cover. A. over it Next saw a hole about thrco feet by four Inch es in the front, B, making tho bot tom cut slightly rounded. O u t a piece of tiu about three ond one-half inches wido for a chute. C, curve it to fit tho cut at the bottom of B and nail in place. Nail two small strips of wood, D, with a groove in tho edge of each, to the box, so that a door, E, will slldo up and down easily. Make the door of a thin piece of board and round it at tho bottom so as to fit snugly on the chute. By rais ing the door the grain will run out into a measure. Screw tho box to tho wall In the barn in a convenient place aboat three feet from the floor. Farm and Fireside. QRAI.V BOX.

"Greatest Crop Ever Introduced," 8ys Enthuslnetlo Tenneeeeo Farmer. Describing his success with soy beans for enrlchlnc the land and producing ubundaut nutritious feed, a Tennessee farmer writes thus lo tho Southern Field: "I irrow tho Mammoth Yellow varie ty, planting In rows thirty-six Inches apart and cultivating nbout the sumo na nrti-n i nnf with ii mower when rlpo and allow them to llo on the ground for a couple of days. After be lnir in shock for ton days they nre haul ed to tho shod nnd thrashed. Wo con- 1 4& V Photo by Long Island agricultural experi ment stntlon. SOT BEANS. slder the beau straw after the beans are thrashed as fully equal to timothy or redtop for a feed for cattle. "For late summer pasture I sow with a wheat drill about one and a half bushels to tho acre. 1 am now feedlug beef cattle and hogs on soy beuns, and my dairy animals nro producing more milk than ever before on u bean ration. Of course other feeds nro mixed with the bean, as soys uro rather rich when fed alone. "Tho Mammoth Yellow grows here from three to five feet high, according to cultivation, and yields thirty bushels of seed per acre, which will bring around $3 to S3.C0 per bushel. There Is no finer Improver of the soil thun the soy bean, i have tried many other legumes, but none has given such uni formly high quality of hay and return ed such large amounts of nitrogen to the soil. I consider the soy bean the greatest crop ever Introduced Into this part of the country both as u mouey crop and as a soil Improver." About $100,000 worth of soy bean oil was shipped In 1010 from Manchuria to the United States against almost none the year before. From Hull. England, shipments In 1010 of soy bean oil to tho United States amounted to $140,000. This was crushed from the Manchurlau beans. Considerable ship ments of soy bean oil were also made In 1010 from Kobe, Japuu. to the Unit ed States. f &TWO SIDES OF ONE PROBLEM. x It Is not enough to raise crops ' and live stock. They must be j Z marketed. When you come to Z J doing this how much easier It Is jr Z to sell If theso crops or stock aro Z y of high quality and how much jf Z better prices are realized. It Z J really costs but little moro to y raise good Btufl than It does to Z raise poor, and good stuff sells 'Z & Itself. Uncle 8am Imports Potatoes. It would seem that a great country like tho United States might bo able to raise enough potatoes for Its own use. but In 1010 our crop amounted to 838.811,000 bushels, and wo Imported 1,032.081 bushels. Our crop of 1011 was only 73.8 per cent of the crop of 1010, while tho British Isles havo hud a very short crop, though Germany has had un abundance. Condemned Cattle, More than 50.000.000 animals were Inspected in tho last flscnl year by tho United States bureau of nnltnal In dustry, aud more than 1,000,000 car casses or parts thereof were condemn ed as unfit for food, according to tho pnnuul report of Dr. A. D. Melvln, head of tho bureau. Tuberculosis was the cause of most of tho condemna tions. Where Cranberries Come From. Tho crnnberry Is a special crop that has been grown on n commercial scnlo largely In thrco sections of tho coun try tho Capo Cod district in Massa chusetts, tho Hew Jersey district and central Wisconsin. Small marshes in othor sections have been reclaimed, but these tbroo districts produco tho major part of tho commercial crop. THE WISE FARMER.
