Sorghum as a Forage Plant.
Question.— ls sorghum a good plant
for feeding green, and for making hay ?
If so what variety would yon recom
mend, and how to plant and save?
Answer. —Sorghum is a most excel
lent forage plant to feed either green or
to save as hay. It does best on rich,
loamy soils, but will do well
on any soil that will produce fair crops
of com or cotton. Prepare the land
well, and bed as you would for cotton
in B>4 feet rows, using from 300 to 400
pounds of a complete fertilizer. About
cotton planting time open a shallow fur
row and drill the seed—from a half
bushel to three pecks to the acre. Cul
tivate shallow and often. When grown
for forage it is not necessary to thin
out, though thinning is very essential
when the sorghum is grown for syrup
making. The “Early Amber’’ and
“Minnesota Early Amber’’ are excellent
varieties, as are also the “Early Orange’"
and “Kansas Orange.”
Sorghum will do better on thin soils,
and will stand drouth better than com.
For making hay, out soou after it begins
to bloom and put up in small shocks
until cured. For feeding green, cutting
should be begun us soon as the plants
begin to form heads. Stir the ground
with a cultivator or plow immediately
after harvesting a crop, aftd the sorghum
will continue to grow and mike a
second and third cutting. Feed but
little at first, increasing the amount
day by day, until the stock be come ac
customed to it. State- Agricultural
Dejiartment,
About Subsoiling.
Question. -Is it not injurious to iand
to subsoil at t his season? lam young
farmer, but 1 have always heard that it
was dangerous to bring the clay to tho
surface alter tho late fail or early
winter.
Answer.—You are under a misappre
hension as to tho moaning of subsoil
ing. This is not, a turning of the clay
to the surface, but it is the breaking up
of tho subsoil at tho bottom of the fur
row, and leaving U there. This may be
done by following, in the bottom of the
f urrow, which is made by an ordinary
plow, with a long narrow “scooter,” or
a "bull tongue.” Or it may bo accom
plished with one furrow, made by a
subsoil plow, constructed osjtcelaUy for
this purpose. In either case it is simply
breaking up the lower Roil, which is
not reached by an ordinary plow-* This
plan will ex ]mse it to the action of the
air, will drain it of surplus water or
inako it more rctentivo of uocessary
moisture, and by thus increasing its
porosity or powers of absorption will
not only regulate the moisture for tho
nse of crops, but will bring into service
its heretofore locked up and insoluble
elements of plant food.—Stato Agri
sultural Department.
Ilrnii Host.
Question.— Last year my beaus were
attacked by a disoaso, which my neigh
bors called bean rust. When 1 discov
ered the trouble it was too late to pre
vent the damage. It seemed to bo more
on tho pods than anywhere else, al
though n large per cent of tho leaves
eventually became affected. The little
round spots first appeared on tho pods
when about half grown and tho nods
turned dark and scorned to shrink up
around those spots. Sometimes ttioy
wore pink and again rod. If there is
any way of preventing this I want to
begin in time this year. What is tho
disease, and is there any roinody?
Answer.— Tho disease which yon do
ecribe is unthracuoso, and tho best pre
ventive after tho beaus aro planted is
Bordeaux mixture,with which the plants
should lie sprayed. But a better pre
ventive still is to plant only bright l
plump seed. As the disease lives in the
seed from one season to another, all
seed should he carefully examined and
only the perfectly sound ones used. All
which are shriveled or imperfect should
bo rejected.—State Agricultural Depart
ment.
Handling Bute Potatoes.
Those who hnvo rather late ground
on which potatoes aro to be planted will
find it worth while to sprout the seed
now. Merely set them in a warm,
light place and lot them send out shoots
about 3 inches long. As soon as the
ground can bo worked plant the pota
toes. handling them carefully, so as not
to break off the shoots, allowing one
sprout to ouch piece of seed. In this
way potatoes can bo raised on late land
as soon as on early laud by the ordinary
method.—Exchange.

I was not married long boforo I
discovered that my wifo was blossod

brueod tho opportunity to pick tho

what sho expected to find, hut I
think sho must have boon disap
pointed to disco- or that it was full
of nothing hut biscuits.
When I oamo home in thoovening,
sho said, “Goergo, what is tho moan
ing of all those biscuits that I saw in
your trunk today?”
I replied: “Well, wo’ro marriod
now, so I may as well toll you tho
truth. When wo wero courting,
whenever I told you a lie, which
was somotimeß necessary, I made a
mental note of it. And wbon I wont
homo 1 would throw a biscuit into
my trunk. Ono biscuit por lio. If
during tho day or during tho ovou
iug l told you half a dozen lios, I
throw in half a dozen biscuits. So
those biscuits simply represent tho
number of lies I liavo told you dur
ing our courtship.”
Sho said: “Well, my goodness! If
1 had only had your forethought and
put asido a little bit of cheese for ov
ory ono that 1 told you, wo should
have had enough biscuits and choose
to last us for life. ’' —London Tit-Bits.
