The farmer must not think that the

they are. They are something like the

PREVENTING MILLET SMUi.
Soaking Seed In Solution of Formalin
Prevents the Disease.
During tile past year a fungous dis
ease of millet appeared at various
places in lowa. The liotatiicai section
of the lowa experiment station found
upon investigation that the disease was
millet smut, a trouble very common iu

the millet growing sections of Europe
It was probably Imported to this coun
try in se*il brought from Germany.
Professor Pummel finds that the dis
ease can tie prevented by soaking the
seed for two hours iu a solution of
one pound of formaliu to forty-five
gallons of water.
Tlie claims of millet as mi impor
tant soiling food rest upon the fact
that It Is a good milk producing food,
that it yields well on good land, that
it may be grown us a catch crop and
iu ln-t weather lit some instances aftet
um.fjr.’r crop has been harvested.
Itsyweak point as a soiling crop in
the short -season during which It can
tie fed.
When it comes to a choice be
tween buying some new tool you
need on the farm and putting the
money in the bank, better buy the
tool. It will help you gain the
money back and save toil into the
bargain.
Sorghum For Hogs.
The Alabama experiment station
finds that sorghum pasture for fat
tening hogs has very little to recoin
mend It. When used with corn it
gave better gains than corn alone, but
the gains were not profitable when the
sorghum was cut aud carried to the
hogs. They made better gains when
allowed to graze It. Excellent gains
were made when the juice was ex
tracted and fed, but for this purpose
the prtte was worth but I.S cents a
gallon. The expense of extracting the
juice prohibits its use. Iu every case
sorghum was much inferior to the
legumes, and since it left the land
poorer its use for hogs was discour
aged where legumes could be grown.
Use of the Weeder.
The weeder is a very useful tool In
the cultivation of potatoes when prop
erly used, it should be run crosswise
of the rows after each cultivation as
long as the size of the plants will per
mit. It helps to pulverize the surface
and destroys many of the weeds in the
rows where they cannot lie reached
with the cultivator, thus making hand
hoeing less necessary. Some growers
continue to use the weeder lengthwise
of tlie rows after the plants are too
large to permit running it crosswise by
removing some of (lie teeth from di
rectly over the row.—American Culti
vator.
Providing Early Greens.
Turnips if left in the ground will
produce early greens in spring, and so
will tlie stalks of cabbage if (hey are
left with the roots in the ground.
Live Stock Notes.
Protection from stormy and inclem
ent weather will make feed go further.
Clover and skimmilk are almost in
dispensable in the ration of the grow
ing pig.
Provide a clean, dry bed and never
allow a horse to lie on bare boards or
stand in wet manure.
Save all of the garden beets that are
not needed for the table and for cau
ninsUo feed your pigs and dairy cows.
Tnf ideal sheep pasture ix biue grass
and white clover. It makes' the driest,
closest sod, and dry land is best for
sheep.
It never pays to starve a colt. Thir
ty bushels of oats will cost about $lO
and be worth twice that much to any
well bred colt in the winter.
Sows that come from prolific fami
lies are more certain to inherit those
qualities and become good mothers
than those that descend from families
that are less prolific.

Here is Something For You to Think About!
Why is it that you always insist on knowing all about the food that you eat.,
then neglect to even jepardize the health and happiness of your family by using
a medicine, the formula of which you know nothing? Still there are times
you would like to know all about the medicine you take or perhaps give to
the baby. But again it may be that the Druggist cannot tell you for the simple
reason that the manufacturer won’t tell him. Manufacturers of Any and All
Patent Medicines won’t tell the Formula. *j[Yet you will Kram your Stomach
