The Soja, or Japanese soy bean, is attracting great, attention and prom- ises to be a valuable addition to agri- culture. This suja. hispida has beenl town for a great length of time in apan and southeastern Asia. The plants are upright in growth, branch consideuibly, and usually contain a. ver large number of pods. T 9 yellow. soy bean wasimportedl from Kansas, and proves itself a, good I Time yellow. soy beam was imported from Kansas, and proves itself a, good yielder of grain, and 8 tons of green fodder has been taken off an acre. The Extm Ezu-ly Dwarf is the earliest, Yellow Soy second, American Oufl'ee Berry third, and the Medium Green is the latest to reach maturity. These three came from Massachusetts. The soy bear; thrives best; in a soil of medium texture. \Wâ€"‘ll supplied with lime, potash and plmsphoric acifl. It endures drought well, is not, (easily in- jured by excessive moisturczmd will grgw as far noryh .as gnrn. U The early varieties for seed and the later ones for fodder m- siiago may be planted when the soil is well warmed at the rate of {g to & of a. bushel in dIills, and i to 1 bushel broadcast. The forage is very lich in protein, and should be fed with corn or sor- ghum, m- sume other rich carbohydrate fund. The seed can be fed ground into meal and is richcr in composition than on meal. 7 ‘ 1.2 tons of hay per acre the same l[season], but if sown in the autumn, as [ is the custom in some of fhe Eastern States, about: four-fifths of entire crop winter killed. Although extensively advertised it, is not advisable to cum- ivate it, generally in Untzuio, as itis very unreliable in our climate. Out for hay when the plants are in late bloom or early fruiL fgl- ensilage the crop can be out a little later, but befOl‘e the POdS ripe“, for fodder a, little 800.11”, andfOI' seed when the pods become half ripe. WLI. . n The Kansas Experiment Station had 69 acres last year, and speak in high- est telms of it as a feed to milch cows, fa§§e11ing cattle and hugs. Now for the clovers. There are several varieties grown throughout Ontario, the most prominent of which are trifolium pratense or red clover, tripolium medium or mammoth clover, trigolium hybriduon or alsike clover, an tripolium incarnatun: or crimson clover. Of these the tripolium pre- tense is decidedly the most popular and the most extensively grown. The tripolium hybridum gives as good a yield as the red clover, but there was very little after growth. The red clover gave ten times as much. The tripolium medium is somewhat coarser and several days later than the com- mon red variety. The first. crop is larger than the red, but the second cutting is very small. The tripolium incarnatum has been tested for six years, and when sown in the spring produces an average of 1.2 tons of hay per acre the same season, but if sown in the autumn, as is the custom in some of the Eastern States, about four-fifths of entire. crop The medicago sativa is a native of Western Asia and has been under cul- tivation for upwards of twenty cent- uries. it is considered the best crop for hay and for green) fodder that, can b3 grown in the \Vr>te.~1n Stuns. 1t Fodder and Root Crops. grown in gilt. be ‘ In Memoriam. BY AGRARIUS CONTINUED. @$ n has been when sown average of the same autumn, as he Eastern entire crop history. The Spaniards introduced it into South America where it has been grown for a. long time, especially on the west coast. It came from thence to Mexico and California and from there spread over the United States under the Spanish name of alfalfa. The same plant coming to us from European countries, other than Spain. is called lucerne, from the valley of Lucerne in Switzerland, where it is rown in very large quantities. One rawback to growing lucerne is the . fact that it cannot be used in a short rotation. It can be left from 6 to 12 years, and longer if the weeds are, not troublesome. It requires rich, well~ drained land and does not do well on low lying lands. From If) to 20 lbs. of seed per acre is the amount usually sown, and as early as possible after danger of frost is past either with a nurse crop or alone. The first year is the most critical period in the growth of the lncerne, and unless on very rich ground no crop need he expected the hrst season, as during this time the roots are pushing down deep into the soil. The next year two or three cut- tings may he made. and after that three or if a favorable season four out- tings may be made. Dairymen who have used lncerne speak highly of it as a. cheap producer of milk. The English Royal Agricul- tural Society Report, Vol. 23, states : The feeding of lucerne to milk cows produced “milk that was not only rich in solids, but contained alarge proportion of butter fatâ€"the butter being of a, brilliant yellow color of ex- ceedingly firm texture and a most aromatic flavor.” For a soiling crop the right time to cut is at bud-form- ing, or begin a little earlier and aronmtic flavor.” For a. soiling crop the right time to cut is at bud-form- ing, or begin a littie earlier and cutone-l‘hirty-fifth of the plot every day so as to go over it every five Weeks; a continuous supply can be had from May till October. This is the best use that can be made of lu- cerne ; and where at all possible a plot near the bums for supplementary feeding is very profitable. Lucerne should never be sown in an orchard, us its tap roots go deeper than the trees and will serioust retard, if not destroy, the growth of the trees, but a lucerne sod broken up is a grand place to plant trees on. The benefits of a crop of roots is too well known to be extolled upon, so I will mention the best varieties suitable to Ontario, and 2L few points in culti- vation.

Jud e Morgan, sat; on cases on Monday etween 10 o‘clock a. m. and 5 o‘clock p. 111., without, inv tennission, not even for lunch. There were a number of cases in which many took an interest. and the Court-Room was crowded all day. The lawyers who had cases for their clients were A. G. F. Lawrence, '1‘. H. Lemmx. Jas. Haverson, C.Kyles, and Mr. Bmxlbbee. Palmer vs. lomnbsâ€"The plaintiff sued for $60 for a dog which defend- ant shot and killed on his premises. The defence was that, he shtibintu a. group of dogs in order to protect his: roperty, claiming that, a number of Eis chickens had been killed by dogs, and that dogs had injured his cattle and a horse. This case was tried by a jury consisting of Edward Barker (Foreman), J. H. Brydon, J. Blanch- ard, G. (Jumper and Arch. Campbell. Verdict, for pluintifi for $5 and costs. Small vs. Palmerâ€"Plaintiff sued for $50 damages for brmich of warranty in 5‘9”ng a. horse. Plaintiff purchased Claifey vs. Bake-râ€"Claim $42 for gbalance of account for stonework. Defendant; claimed that; he made no ‘ contract with plaintiff, but with Scott Craig, since deceased, the work to be Idone to pay for Craig’s board. The idefendant had paid plaintiff $10. but this he said was for a. tender. Verdict; for‘plaiotifi in full._ in selling a. horse. Plaintiff purchased a driving mare from defendant, on Christmas day for $150. After driv- ing her for a few days she fell lame. Defendant took her back at, $100. and.: plaintiff sued for the balance, claiming that a. guaranty of soundness vus given verbally. Defendant. claimed that, the mare was sound when he sold her. but that; he gave no warranty, merely saying to plaintiff that, she was sound *‘ as far as he knew.” The Judge reserved decision in order to lock qp a technical point. A Unumbs vs. VValderâ€"Plaiutiif hired with defendant for a year. but left after about four months, claiming that he was unable to do the WOI'k. He had received about $15, and sued for the balance, about $20, and his clothes which the defendant retained. The defendant put in a counter claim for $25 for damages sustained by reason of the non-fulfillment of contract. Judgment, for the plaintiff for the clolthes referred to with costs of court; on y. Besides the above there were several Judgment Summons’ cases, and the Judge ordered a. commitment in two cases, of ten days each, to be stayed in one case on payment of $10 in two weeks, and $2 a month thereafter; in the other case $2 a. month, first pay-u ment in one month.
