The Advantage in Raising Sor-
ghun.
From the Osborn Farmer.

SuuI4.
From the Osborn Farmer.
Sorghum, as a fodder, seems to be
very little known, or if its value as
such is known, then many of our
farmers and stock men are grossly
careless and Indifferent. I raised
sorghum for fodder and hay for four
years and firmly believe it to be the
best in use. You can raise it in a
variety of ways. When you want
sorghum hay, SOW two bushels broad
cast to the acre and it will yield from
three to six tons per acre, heading
out at a height Of three or four feet,
and then can be easily handled.
Sown one bushel per acre will yield
five to eight tons per acre, the stalks
growing taller and heavier and more
adapted to fuller grown animals.
Sorghum grown as above should be
cut before frost and left lay in the
field fully one month, or until the sap
ceases to run, when the stalk is bent
and twisted will bear witness TO that
fact, while at the same time it keeps
the animal fat and increases the flow
Of milk in the COW. We have many
old citizens who use it and raise it
for their stock, but have been aocus-
toned to plant it after wheat harvest
in the stubble, depending upon the
fall rains to help it out While in
Corinth township, I met an old friend
who was growing, if he will permit
me to say SO, about not having any
thing but hay to feed. I asked him
where his sorghum pile was He
said it was so dry sorghum would
not grow. On further inquiries
found he and his neighbor had only
sown their seed in July and were
cussing because sorghum would not
grow after July 18th. I say, give il
a chance. Sow it any time from May
18th to June 10th and you will al
ways get a crop that In mid winter
will take the place of hay and corn
and keep your stock healthy. Again
it will yield an immense crop If drill
ed in with wheat drill or corn plant
er. Many will remember the test we
made number of years ago when
we raised twenty tons per acre, {drilI-
ed with wheat driID one bushel per
acre being sown- I prefer the two
bushels per acre, for it then presents
such variety of the different fbers
thatShe late calf or the full grown
animal viii find it nutritious and
plenty Of the right fiber to suit each,
and above all, it is but very little
harder to stack than milIet hay. Mr..
Wilkinson, of Twin creek, farms the
above way every year and has for the
past six years. A. w. Riley, Of Dial,
sows one bushel per acre, and many
others use it, and I never knew a case
Of black leg or dry murrain with cat
tie fed upon the same, and I believe
Mr.. Wilkinson and others. In the
spring of '85, Mr.. Foley, living on the
divide north Of Osborn, raised ton
tons to the acre and had out about
ten acres His grew to the height Of
eight feet and was cut with great
difficulty, and the only way he could
handle it was to rake it IN winrow:
after it had cured forty days and
hauling it to the corral by sled as b,

cattle, needed no corn, and wound VI
by saying it was the finest crop he

How 1t Is the City Has to Pay a Years

The statement and opinion submitted
by Corporation Counsel Edwards to the
Board of Finance. summarized in yester-

of the old Board of Works in dealing
with the street cleaning department, that
it is well worth reproducing in full. 1t is
as follows

streets and removing the ashes and garbage for
the fiscal year beginning December 1, 1888; the
then Board of Finance and Taxation added a
proviso that the work should be done under q
contract TO be approved by that Board. On
November %, 1883, the Board of Public Works
received bids for this work from q number of
contractors, and on November 26, 1888, awarded
the contract to John G, Dunn, the lowest bidder;
the resolution awarding the contract was then
forwarded to the Board OF Finance and Taxation

Iarly convenient for boating and walking.
Tennis costumes are gayer than ever, if
that were possible. One shown was of
cardinal French flannel. The skirt had
three rows of woven border in white, gray
and cardinal stripes. The blouse had
sailor collar, edged with the same stripe.
It also formed the sash, which was fur
nished with large pOmpOns OF soft car
dlnal wool. Suits similar to these were
also shown in dark blue. With them are
worn fancy cap and loW-cut tan shoes, as
formerly.
Tea gowns for summer wear are of
challie and India silk; one, of white chal-
lie with a blue flower and brown vine and
leaves, and front of pale-blue surah.
An Empire belt of the challie was fast
ened at the left side with a sash, the ends
of which were finished with deep, knOtted
white silk fringe. The flowing sleeves
were lined with surah and edged with
fringe.
One of black cashmere had full front
Of black and white figured India silk
shirred at the neck; the close standing
collar was of the cashmere. With the
bell shaped sleeve was a pretty, close
fitting undersleeve of the silk. Where
the front breadths of the cashmere Joined
the silk there was q row of briar stitch
ing IN white silk extending from the neck
TO the uSL45 making q pretty anu quite
effective finish. Gowns OF this style,
costing but ST., come in other coIors.
The vacation suits for children are ex-
tremely pretty, cardinal or navy blue and
white flannel being the cOIors and
material which lead. The general
style for small children is the short

jersey waist trimmed to match. The
flannel is very soft and fine, so that these
suits are both light and warm. One Of
fine striped blue and white flannel was
dotted with small squares, in which was 8
tiny scarlet anchor The blouse was of
solid dark blue, with pointed yoke of the
stripe, a pointed turned-OV collar of the
blue, embroidered in cardinal, and still
another standing collar of the stripe. The
little coat sleeves were of blue without
cuffs. A belt of dark blue satin ribbon
had a bow tied in front, with loops and
long ends. Another of flannel had blue
and cardinal stripes in which were small
anchors. The blouse was confined by a

How can it be possible for creatures

banded together, and to have formed,
as L have said, a union which claims

Turks Yet such is the simple fact
about the dogs of ConstantinopIe.

they live, eat and sleep, in fair weather
or foul, in the crooked winding streets
of the beautiful city. They make their
homes in old boxes, behind walls or

the pavement, crowding the highways,
blocking the by-ways, threatening
every path.
But there Is law and order In this
apparently heterogeneous mass of ca

organized In bands as scavengers and
grubbers. The people know the dogs

White skirts are considered vulgar for
