GROOMING MILLET.
A Valuable Appendix Crop for the SiAO and
the Hay-Mow.

the Hay-Mow.
One great advantage in growing
millet is that it may be sown as late
as June in our Northern latitude. and
be sure to mature before frost. This
remark applies to the common millet.
The coarse or broad-leaved millet,
called German millet, requires from
ten days to two weeks longer to ripen.
The common mllet will ripen its seed
within one hundred days after being
sown. In ninety days, or perhaps less.
it will be sufficiently matured to cut
for hay. The ground should be we'll

seeds will terminate we'll and not be
destroyed if lying under clods and
Jumps of earth. 1t is an excellent
plan. if the land is not fine, to roll it

cover it with brush or light harrow.
and roll it again. The seed should not
be put in, in this way. if the ground is
wet and liable to pack or become
crusted. The seeds sends up tiny
shoot and it must not be INSTRUCTED in
its growth or the crop will be reduced.
The seed will grow well if sOwn on top
of the ground and left to be covered
by rain, and when a rain falls on it
soon after it has been sown this is an
excellent plan. If the seed is covered
too deep there will be a great loss. A
very little manure will give the crop a
fine start, if it is put upon the surface
For these reasons commercial manures
can be used to advantage. sow this
form of fertilizer broadcast, mixed
with land plaster-equal b1lks-at the
rate of 100 to 800 pounds per acre, ac-
cording to the quality of the land. A

of 40 600 900 pounds in the wool prOduc-
ton of this country. Mr.. Bleakie points
out that this decline is not due to the re-
duction of wool duties in 1888, as the de-
crease in production had begun before
that date In 1882 the high tariff of
1867 had been in operation for fifteen
years, and protection had proved en-
tirely inadequate to bring about the re-
suits predicted by its advocates. Mr..
Bleakie says:
In 1882 the number of sheep in the United
States was 36, 600, 600, while the unprotected
sheep of Russia numbered 81, 000, 900: those OF
the Argentine Republic (unprotected) were D.
OOO, 600, and those of Australia unprotected So
OOO. 600. Even the unprotected sheep OF Great
great IN population, numbered ., ,OOO. ANA
at this time when the tarif-protected sheep ofthe
United States numbered So, GOO 900 the unprotect-
ed cattle here numbered SO, 800 GOO to 29,OUU UJU
in Russia Il GOO, coo in the Argentine Republic
and ,O00, 600 in Australia, So little does legisla-
ton control the laws of nature or the Influences
OF climate and natural selection.
The Record has time and again brought
to the attention of wool growers the fact
that the average prices of home grown
woods have been highest when low tariff
rates enabled manufacturers to import
desirable qualities of foreign grown
wool There is, therefore, a real identi-
ty of interest on the part of wool-growers
and wool manufacturers, neither of
whom have been benefited by protective
experiments.
We are not without hope that the stand
now taken by New England manufacture
ers may have its effect in congress. The
record shows that such DISTINGUISHED Re
publiGans as Mr.. Blaine, Mr.. Dawes Mr..
Hale ,'Ar. Hawley and others have, I'M
der the spur of necessity growing out of
to take treasury engagement, voted
the tax off OF coal and salt. 1t
would require a very short step in the
same direction to give the suffering
manufacturing interests all they clamor
