SOY BEAN MEAL FOR DAIRY COWS. 
Soy bean meal, made by grinding up the 
entire Soy bean plant, is giving excellent 
results as a feed for dairy cows on the 
farm of T. B. Foster, Warren county, Ohio. 
Mr. Foster, who is a graduate of the Col¬ 
lege of Agriculture, Ohio State University, 
raised over 20 acres of Soy beans last sea¬ 
son. A part of the crop was planted with 
corn and put into the silo. The remainder, 
following sweet corn, was allowed to ripen 
and ground into meal. This bean meal is 
being fed in the ration with corn and cob 
meal, cotton-seed meal and distillers’ grains. 
Mr. Foster expects to put out about 75 
acres this coming season. According to 
present plans he will sow oats and Canada 
field peas as a soiling crop and then follow 
with the Soy beans. He has over 300 acres 
of land and keeps about 60 head of Jersey 
cows, from which he sells milk at retail in 
Cincinnati. 
The above news note is sent from 
the Ohio Agricultural College. We 
feel sure that our American farmers 
have not appreciated the true feeding 
value of Soy beans. In Europe and 
England the feeding of Soy bean meal 
or coke has changed most of the 
feeding rations. Great cargoes of the 
stuff are sent from Japan and China. 
Since the Russian war the province 
of Manchuria has been wonderfully 
changed and improved by the culti¬ 
vation of Soy beans. The leaves and 
twigs are used for manuring, the 
stems make fuel and the beans make 
oil and meal. This crop has done 
for Manchuria what Alfalfa did for 
many parts of the Western deserts, 
and the crop should be largely grown 
by our Northern farmers. 
Cows Refuse to Drink. 
We have a stream of water running 
through our farm which to all appearances 
is pure and sweet. The horses all drink it 
and seem to like it, but not one of our 
eight cows will touch it. What is the an¬ 
swer ? p. p. 
New York. 
I know of no reason why the cows 
should not drink the water. Occasion¬ 
ally an animal will take a notion against 
particular water from time to time, but 
for so many to persist in refusing it 
would indicate some bad taste in it; 
though the fact that the horses drink 
it would go to disprove this idea. If 
the horses continue to use the water 
without any ill effects and no other sup¬ 
ply is available for the cows, they can 
undoubtedly be taught to drink the water 
by salting them freely and then hold¬ 
ing them away from all chance of water 
for 10 or 12 hours. h. h. wing. 
Fodder Crops. 
I have an acre of land; I put half in 
fruit and vegetables, the other half I had 
in corn last year, planted on good Crimson 
clover sod that I had plowed under. I had 
a very heavy crop of corn on it, so that I 
was unable to sow any Crimson clover. I 
got it well plowed over in the Fall; it was 
too late to sow rye for the Winter. Which 
would you advise me to sow in the Spring, 
barley or Canada peas and oats? In the 
Fall I wish to sow Crimson clover again. 
The land is good and well drained. I keep 
a driving horse and wish to grow all the 
rough feed I can. J. T. 
Connecticut. 
We should sow Canada peas and oats 
early in the Spring, cut them for hay in late 
June and then drill in fodder corn thickly. 
This fodder corn can be cured for horse 
feed, and after cutting it wheat or rye can 
be seeded.

ANOTHER SMOKE HOUSE. 
Someone a few weeks ago wanted a 
good plan for smoke-house. Build one 
as in sketch with firebox outside of 
PLAN FOR SMOKE HOUSE. 
house. The smoke is conducted from 
this firebox into the house by means 
of a flue of six-inch tile laid just 
below the surface of the ground. 
A draft is secured by putting an¬ 
other tile or pipe through the peak of 
roof, letting it extend about half way 
to the floor. This last flue or pipe has 
a cut-off damper in it with the rod han¬ 
dle extended to the outside of the house. 
When the fire in firepot gets going well 
this damper is turned and the house is 
filled with smoke. It is not necessary 
to enter house except to inspect or care 
for meat. J. R. p.

Payment for Glandered Holies. 
In November, 1905, the New York State 
Agricultural Department claimed I bad five 
horses suffering with glanders, and the De¬ 
partment destroyed all live horses. At that 
time they had no money appropriated for 
that purpose. Although the State has paid 
for horses destroyed previous to my trouble 
and since, I have never been able to collect 
any part of my claim. Our Senator had 
passed a bill by the Senate for .$350; the 
Assembly cut that out. Could you suggest 
anything for me to do to collect my claim? 
Westchester Co., N. Y. w. s. h. 
We submitted this case to the State 
Agricultural Department at Albany. It 
appears that these horses were destroyed 
in November, 1905. The act under 
which the State made provision for pay¬ 
ing for such horses became a law Octo¬ 
ber 1, 1909, and the Agricultural Depart¬ 
ment did not pay for glandered horses 
before that time. Thus the Commis¬ 
sioner of Agriculture was not author¬ 
ized to pay for Mr. Horner’s horses 
when they were killed. The legislation 
which now provides for payment for 
glandered horses is not retroactive— 
that is, does not cover cases which oc¬ 
curred before it became law. Therefore 
the only way to obtain payment for these 
horses is to have a special bill passed 
by the Legislature making appropriation 
for this purpose. This is fair and ought 
to he done. The State killed Mr. Hor¬ 
ner’s horses—took his teams away from 
him, and the public should now pay for 
what it destroyed. Mr. Horner will now 
have another bill introduced to cover 
this matter. Let us make a test of this 
and all get together to help put the bill 
through. 
Rye for Horse Hay. 
Will rye, cut at blooming time, make a 
satisfactory hay for horses at work? I 
have an impression that several years ago 
I read of The R. N.-Y. having used rye as 
hay. u. o. 
Bluffs, Ill. 
Rye hay at best is not very satisfactory. 
It Is tough and hard, and stock relish It 
less than any other grain hay. Our horses 
eat it, but we cannot say they care greatly 
for it. If used for hay at all it should 
be cut at the bloom forms. Do not wait 
until the heads or grains are in evidence. 
Wheat makes far better grain hay, but rye 
comes ahead of it. 
When you write advertisers mention The 
R. N.-Y. and you’ll get a quick reply and a 
“sauare deal.” See guarantee editorial page.
