(Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The soy bean can be utilized to ad vantage as pasture for all kinds of stock, the most profitable method, per haps, being to pasture with hogs, sup plementing the corn ration. This Is especially desirable when the harvest ing Is interfered with by bad weather, lock of labor, or other causes, and when the crop is grown for soil im provement. In this way the crop is profitable not only from the stand point of feeding value, but also In the increase of soil fertility due to the manure and refuse vines. Hogs great ly relish the bean plant, especially the ripening pods and seed, and a considerable part of the growth of young hogs may be made with soy bean pasture. Animals ready for fat tening may be fitted for market much more rapidly If soy beans are used to supplement the corn ration. Test in Alabama. In pasturage experiments conduct ed at the Alabama agricultural ex periment station soy beans, peanuts, chufus, and sorghum were compared as pasturage for hogs. It was found that when corn alone was fed, 100 pounds of pork cost $7.63; when fed a two-thirds ration of corn and pas tured on chufas In addition, 100 pounds of pork cost ?S.89 ; on sorghum, $7.79; on peanuts, $3.20; and on soy beans, $2.74. The average gain of the pigs each day on the soy-bean pasture was 1.02 pounds, on the pea nut pnsture 1.01 pounds, on the chufn pasture 0.72 pound, and on the sor ghum pasture 0.37 pound. The same station reports three years' work in feeding 105 hogs to determine the value of soy-bean pasture as compared with other feeds, the most profitable quantity of corn as a supplement, and the effect of the soy-bean fornge on the quality of the pork. It was found that when corn was used alone the average dally gain for each hog was 0.375 pound, at a cost of 7.61 cents. When soy-bean pasture was grazed with a one-fourth, one-half, and three- fourths ration of corn the average daily gains were raised to 1.102, 1.006, nnd 1.329 pounds, respectively, nnd the cost of pork reduced to 2.59, 3.36, and 3.17 cents, respectively. One acre of soy-bean pasture afforded grazing for 10 hogs for 32 days with a one fourth ration of corn, 48 days.wlth a one-half ration, and 62 days with a three-fourths ration of corn. The 'JPOILED BIG WEDDING FEAST How Ex-German Emperor Upset win. ner on Which Herr Ballln Had Spent Much Money. Ilerr Rallln was noted for the ex travagant dinners wfilch be gave on great occasions, says the Edinburgh Scotsman. Probably the most magnifi cent of nil was that which he arranged to grace the wedding of the kaiser's (laughter to the duke of Brunswick, The floral decorations alone cost $10, 000, the dinner worked out at about $85 a plate, and the wines at about $30. But the dinner, from Ilerr Bill lln's point of view, was a failure, for the kaiser anil kalserln, who were to hnve been present, sent word In the afternoon that thojf could not come; nnd It was In their honor, of course, that Ilerr Ballln had spent bis thou sands on the banquet. One of bis servants has said that when Ilerr Bal lln received the message that the em peror could not come, he Hew into a tremendous rage. He sent for his butler, and ere the man hud reached Bert Benin's study, his master shouted out to btnl! "The emperor cannot come to dinner tonight put the whole show ofT!" nnd hen slummed the door. The hUtler did not know exactly what to do. To put off so Important gnosis as voro to bo present was, or course, en Impossibility ; but no one In the house hold dared In approach (be master of It to suggest this. However, at about 5 o'clock Ilerr Ballln had sulliclently recovered his temper to come down stairs nnd give some necessary direc Hous about the bannuct. Some person's Idea of writing Is to use big words. total value of pork produced on each acre of soy-bean pasture varied from $25.84 to $39.13. Kentucky Experiment. The Kentucky agricultural experi ment station, in a series of experi ments with soy-bean pasture for hogs, found that it was not profitable to hog down soy beans (grain) unless a sup plementary feed Is given. The results showed, however, that It was highly profitable to hog down soy beans If a supplementary feed, such as corn, is given. The lot of hogs receiving 2 per cent of Its weight in cornmeal dally produced 825 pounds of pork to the acre, at a cost of $4.54 per hun dred pounds of gain. An acre of soy beans hogged off with a supplementary feed of corn produced feed for 10 hogs for 21 days and for 20 hogs for an additional 21 days. An acre of soy beans with no corn fed the hogs pro duced feed for 10 hogs for 21 days and for 15 hogs for an additional 14 days. Various methods of seeding are used when the soy bean Is to be util ized for pasture purposes. In the Southern states, especially North Carolina, where a considerable acre age Is used for hog pasture, from one and a half to two bushels of seed are sown broadcast at the last work ing of the corn. The hogs are turned In when the seed Is fully mature. Corn and soy beans are sometimes grown together and pastured down, as Is often done with corn, or the two crops may be planted In alternate rows. For young hogs the beans are often planted alone. Soy-bean pns ture may be supplied for a period of several weeks by planting early, medi um, and late varieties. Early matur ing varieties may be sown after small grains and make sufficient growth to supply considerable feed In the fall. Soy beans mny be pastured at any time from the stage when the pods nre one-half filled until the beans are mature. When hogs have been pastured on soy beans alone there Is a tendency for the lard to become soft. This may be overcome viary materially by feed ing the, hogs ea a grain ration after taking 1heni "from the pasture. The feeding of corn alone for four or five weeks has produced Arm lard, while corn and cottonseed meal used in the proportion of three parts of corn to one pnrt of cottonseed meal has given the best results. nBET OPEN TO CHRISTIANS Contingent upon men abiii'.y to make financial arrangements and up on the decision of the Portland dis trict freight traffic committee of the United States railroad administration to grant an attractive rate on lumber tor outward shipment, the Pacific & Eastern railway will resume opera tions. This road, running 33 miles out of Medford to Butte Falls, went into receivership early this year because f Its Inability to earn enough to pay operating charges, and Its reuuwal of train service will bo a source of joy to lumber producers of southern Or ",on now without means ot transport ing their product to outside markets. Officials Have Invited Missionaries to Enter Freely Into tht "For bidden Land." Those disciples of Christ who Inter est themselves in foreign missions nre aroused over an Invitntlon coming to American disciples from Tibet, accord ing to the Boston Evening Transcript. This land, occupying the "roof of the world," has heretofore been practical ly closod to all foreigners. That It has been so was due, so Tibet ofnclnls tell American disciples, to the Influence of Chlnn. Now Tibet has thrown off Chinese control and one of Its first acts Is to appeal for Christian missionaries. The disciples have a mission station at Batang. one of the farthest west cit ies of Clilna, nearly 3,000 miles up the Vongste river. A venturesome American doctor, sent out by the disciples, Journeyed 18 days farther west, getting Into Ti bet and Into a city wherein disease In Us worst form, unattended and not un derstood, ravaged the people. The doctor set up an Impromptu clinic and dispensary. The relief was so great that one of the highest civic officials in all Tibet begged htm to stay, or If he could not do so to return, build a hospital and official Tibet would help him. Now the disciples argue that here Is a call they are not at liberty to Ignore. I Their missionary society has acted to ! this effect. An appeal has been made for four families, two of thera phy sician amities, to go. It is said t.:;re i nre no hospitals, no churches, no schools, no Christian agencies of any kind In that country of 4,000,000 peo ple.
