THRASHED WITH SEPARATOR
Machine Must Be Readjusted to Pre
vent Split Beans Straw Obtained Is
Quite Valuable Feed for All
Kinds of Animals.
(Prepared by tho United State!) Depart
ment or Agriculture.)
Soy-bean seed now Is of considerable
value, und It Is essential that all farm
ers who have raised It thrash and
store It so ns to prevent deterioration
nnd loss.
The ordlnnry grain separator can
be adjusted to thrash any beans suc
cessfully, but this machine, If equipped
to thrnsh small grains, must be re
adjusted when soy beans nre to be
thrashed, as otherwise a large per
centage of cracked seed will result.
i
Guclh Haberlandt
Some of the More Important varieties
of Soy Beans, Several of Which Are
Already Well Known to Farmers of
This Country.
The chief cause of split beans Is the
high speed of the cylinder, which
should be reduced nt lqnst one-half,
although the. speed of tho fans nnd
other parts of the separator may bo
maintained at normal.
Satisfactory Machines.
Special pea and heiln separators oi
different sizes are now on the mnrket.
These types of machines do clean
hulling nnd spilt practically none of
the beans. Undoubtedly such sepjra-
tors are more satisfactory und ecor.om-
leal whero a considerable acreage of
beans Is grown. In sections whero
there Is nn extensive seed production,
Investment In such n machine by a
community would be proiltnble.
Soy beans, tf thoroughly dry, can
easily be thrashed with n Hall. If one
hns only a small acreage nn acre or
so this method Is practical and eco
nomical. In a few sections, n corn
shredder has been used to advantage
In the thrashing work nnd where the
beans are propertly cured nnd dried,
the seeds shell out readily when run
through this machine.
Soy beans which hnve been stacked
out of doors or housed In the mow
previous to thrashing should be thrash
ed when tho weather Is dry and suit
able for work of this character. Thrash
Ing should not he attempted until the
beans hnve passed through a thorough
sweat and subsequently cured so that
the seed Is separated readily from the
straw. ,
Valuable Feed for Stock.
The straw obtained from thrashing
the soy bean for seed Is a valuable
feed for all kinds of live stock. In
mnny localities the straw Is baled at
the time of thrashing nnd sold.
As soy-bean seeds spoil rather cnsl
ly If not propertly handled, care should
be exercised In curing and storing. Af
tor the beans arc thrashed they should
bo watched carefully to avoid heating
and moulding. When thoroughly dry
there Js no such danger. The best plan,
according to specialists of the United
States department of agriculture. Is to
spread the seed out on a tloor tin
mediately after thrashing and subse
quently shovel them from time to time
until they nre thoroughly dry. The
storeroom should be dry and have n
free circulation of air. Soy-bean seed
loses Its viability rather rapidly and It
Is not safe to hold seed for planting
purposes moro than two seasons. The
seeds of the soy bean, unlike those of
the cowpea. are rarely attacked by
weevils or other grain Insects.
SAVE FERTILITY OF MANURE
No Better Place to Apply Plant Food
Than on Fall Sown Cover Crops
or on Clover.
If stablo manure of any kind Is avail
able at this season of the year there Is
no better place to apply It than on the
fall sown cover crops, or on clover nnd
grass sods. When thus applied, thure
will be practically no loss of fertility
much less than If the manure Is kept
m yards, especially if uncovered.
DELAY IN ORDERING
LIME MAY BE FATAL
Last-Minute Deliveries Can No
Longer Be Made.
Dealers and Manufacturers Should
Have Advanced Information as to
Farmers' Needs Transpor
tation Is Uncertain.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Partners probably will not be able
to secure Unto to meet their agricul
tural needs If they wnlt about order
ing It until they are ready to apply it.
Under old conditions, companies sup
plying agricultural lime recognized
spring and Into summer ns the two
periods of demand, and farmers hnvo
onllunrlly ordered their lime nt the
time they wished to apply ltv In order
to save time and work by Including
hauling from the railroad station nnd
applying to the land In one operation,
Under present conditions, lime manu
facturers are no longer able to adjust
their business to this practice. Ow
ing to shortage of labor In their own
plants and transportation dllllculttcs.
Inst-mlnuto deliveries can no longer be
made with certainty.
For these reasons tho department of
agriculture urges that spring needs bo
nntlclpntcd and that orders for lime
bo pluccd tit once. Dealers nnd man
ufneturers should have advance In
formation ns to farmers' needs so that
orders can be combined and car space
used to the best advantage Delay In
ordering may result In failure to ob
tain tho lime until too Into.
It Is, moreover, tho desire of the
railroad administration that the sea
son for delivery of lime, which has
heretofore been from March to May,
be extended to Include tho period from
January to May, In order to rellove, as
far as possible, tho existing car shortage.

TUBERCULOSIS OF CHICKENS
Science Has Demonstrated That Dis
ease May Be Transmitted by
Swine to Poultry.
Dr. O. P. Fitch, chief of tho division
of veterinary medicine at the Minne
sota college of agriculture, states that
science has shown that tuberculosis
muy bo transmitted by 'swine to poul
try and vice versa.
"Tuberculosis In poultry Is u common
disease," he says, "and It causes heavy
losses. Fowls affected with It becomo
lame, their combs lose their luster, and
their flesh falls away. There Is a gen
erally rundown condition. Tuberculosis
can bo controlled by tho removal of
Infected birds and by a thorough clean
ing up' of their quarters. The disease
cannot as a rule be transmitted through
the eggs. Its Introduction can bo
traced usually t Infected fowls."
POTATOES NEED PLANT FOOD
Most Successful Growers Generally
Make Application of Manure to
Heavy Sod.
To grow potatoes successfully an
abundance of plant food Is required.
lOxperlments at the Ohio experiment
station show that from 10 to lit tons of
manure und from 1100 to 000 pounds
of add phosphate per acrp may ho
used with prollt In fertilizing potntocs.
The application of fresh manure to
the soil Just before plowing Is asso
ciated with the development of scab
on potatoes, so thut early winter ap
plication of manure Is regarded ns es
sential. Tho most successful potnto
growers generally apply manuro to a
good, heavy sod, preferably clovor, to
be plowed down in the spring.

Where Can I Find Relief From
Itching, Terrifying Eczema?
Question on Lips of Afflicted.
There is a harrassing discomfort
caused by Eczema that almost be
comes a torture. The itching Is al
most unbearable, and the skin
seems on fire with the burning ir
ritation. A cure from local appli
cations of salves and ointments
is impossible, because such treat
ment can only allay the pain tem
porarily. The disease can only be
reached by going deep down to its
source, which is in the blood, the
disease being caused by an infec
tion which breaks out through tho
skin. That is why the most satis
factory treatment for all so-called
skin diseases is S. S. S., which actq
by cleansing the blood. Get a bot
