plants in hills and cultivated. The stalks
matured fully and seed ripened. Blades
were whipped OF with sticks and forks,
bound in bundles and stacked. Tops
were cut off for seed and thrown into
cribs. The stalks were crushed for the
juice, and the bagasse Crushed stalks)
were made into manure This is unques-
tionably the most economical method of
disposing of sorghum. But where the
grower does not want to make syrup or
sugar, he prefers an easier and shorter
cut TO feed. We advise beginners to try
broadcast sowing and drilling both. A
bushel of seed is plenty for an acre of
ground. Don't SOW until the ground is
warm.
TAME GRAssEs.-Red clover, alfalfa,
orchard grass, blue grass and meadow
oat grass are best sown in the Spring.
/ Timothy does best if sown in autumn;
red top may be sown in Fall or Spring,
and some persons SOW blue grass in Au-
gust or September. Clover and timothy,
timothy and red top, red top and blue
grass, blue grass and white clover flor
lawns) may be sowed together. limo
thy does well sowed on rye ground inn
mediately after the grain. Ali the other
seeds above named should De soWed
alone, as, also, meadow oat grass and
| JOnuSOu grass AS early III JElS SDrlnE
as the ground is fit to receive the seed it
ought to be sown. Have the ground in
best possible condition, clean and fine.
If seed is sown broadcast, harrow lightly
and if possible, scatter straw or hay, or
strawy manure all over the sowed ground.
This serves to protect against wind
which often uncovers seeds and blows
them away. If ground is dry, rolling
will be good after the harrow. If drill is
used no narrowing need be done, but the
roller is useful. Quantities to SOW, per
acre: Red clover, ten to twelve pounds per
acre; alfalfa, twenty-five pounds; Timoty
fifteen pounds; orchard grass, twenty
pounds; Kentuckey blue grass, three
bushels if for lawn; One-half
J that much for pasture; red top,
twenty pounds; Johnson grass, one
bushel; meadow oat grass, twenty
five pounds. Our advice to all beginners
in Kansas is to prepare a piece of ground,
and divide it into different plats, on each
one of which SOW different kind of seed,
and thus by experiment learn what will
suit your particular soil and climate best.
AS soon as the weeds get high enough to
cut, NOW them down, but not very close
to the ground, and let them lie; do this
as often as necessary during the first
year. Don't attempt to make hay the
first year. Now the weeds, and if any OF
the grass is high enough to be cut, very
we'll butmo for protection to the roots,
. not for hay.

sioners a complaint against the L., 7. &

rendered decision, in which they said
that the General Manager of the A, 7
& S. Fe road, which is operating the line
stated that the cost of running trains
would be 50, 900 per month, which would
be considerably more than would be re-
ceived. The Commissioners obtained ar
estimate from another engineer, how
ever, who said the train could be run fol
$1,000 per month. Whereupon, the
Board recommends that daily passenger
train be put upon the road within rea
SOnable time.

Plans to Get Fuller Observations With Re-
gard to Thunder Storms.
st. Louis Republican.
The signal service contemplates the
acquisition of all possible information
with regard to thunder storms and for
this purpose has just sent out to all post
masters in this part of the country and
the West circular asking their coop
Grafton in the matter. All who desire to
make these observations are requested to
do so and cards for recording the obser-
vations will be furnished on application.
The following instructions and expla-
nations are sent out: It is desired that
during the Summer of 1884 a few simple
facts be collected relating to the import
ant subject of thunder storms. To this
end post-offices and other centres have
been selected over a limited extent of
country, at distances of about ten miles.
Every station forms an important point
in the network of stations, and by a
comparison of the observations, it is hop
ed valuable acquisitions may be made to
our knowledge of these frequent accom-
paniments of tornadoes.
Of course there must be some note
made of each thunder storm in order that
there may be no gap in any region.
Cards will be sent out having spaces
for five storms, and thunder storms
twelve hours apart may be taken as sep
arate storms. The time of the first and last
thunder connected with storm should
be given, but the mutterings succeedinga
storm should not be mentioned. The
direction from which the storm appears
to come should be given, and this can be
determined from the threatening sky,
lightning flashes, or thunder peals
Whittier it goes should also be noted.
The time of the beginning and end of
the rain, if any; and if it continues for
more than two hours should be so mark
ed. The amount of rain can be deter
mined with common rule after it has
| been caught in common pail, or empty
can with vertical sides.
All observations of hail, size of stones,
etc., are very important. The direction
and force of wind before and after thun-
der storms should be given; for the force
adopt the scale, calm, light, moderate,
brisk, high, very high, hurricane or tor
nado The shade temperature or temper
ature on the north side of the house q
| little before the storm reaches the station,
as well as after it has passed. is ofimport-
ance. Note also if on any day heat light
ming is seen, the date, time of appearance
and direction. IF there is not time for q
complete report, at least give date and
time of seVerest part of storm.
