the Orient, for feeding poultry and dairy cattle. In Europe, the un- 

 ground cake is used, and in this country the meal. Though high in 

 price, soy bean meal is greatly esteemed by western dairymen and is 

 often fed in large amounts to cows on official tests." 



Soy beans can be sown broadcast, drilled with an ordinary grain drill, 

 planted in hills the same as corn, or drilled in rows, the seeds being placed 

 four or five inches apart and the rows being far enough apart to permit 

 of cultivation with an ordinary corn cultivator. If the beans are in- 

 tended for hay or pasture, they should be sown broadcast or drilled. 

 From three to five pecks of seed is sufficient to plant an acre. If drilled 

 in rows, from two to three pecks is sufficient. If the beans are intended 

 for seed, it is always advisable to plant in rows and cultivate like corn. 

 The depth to plant depends upon the character of the soil and the 

 amount of moisture. In a heavy, wet soil, shallow planting is best ; but 

 in a light, dry soil, three or four inches is not too deep.
