sowED SORGHUM A DELusIoN.

Some journals, especially at the West,
are urging that sorghum be s6wn broad
cast for fodder, as corn sometimes IS
Time was, when new soil was free from
weeds, ,sowed fodder would not be prema-
turely choked out. But of late Western
lands cultivated few years become even
more weedy than well-tilled lands at the
East. The Western farmer cultivating
large areas grows the big kinds of corn,
avowedly because they sooner outgrow
the weeds, and thus need not be cult
waited so late. The consequence is that
weed seeds ripen by the million. Sorghum,
seed is small. Its first growth is much
slower than corn. About midsummer it
shoots forward rapidly, and will then out
grow corn, and be especially valuable in
time of draught, as its roots run deeply.
But 1t needs cultivation, if not hoeing,
early in the season or before midsummer,
or it will be choked out by weeds. An
other reason for cultivation is TO insure
space for the leaves to reach the sunlight.
Crowded together as it is apt to be when
sown, even II not overgrown with weeds,
the sorghum is not sweet. Its stalk is
hard to be crushed, and is filed with a
poor, watery juice Of but little value for
feeding, and none whatever for the sugar
manufacturers.-BoStOR Culicator.

TOMATO CULTIVATION.

The tomato plant is the prettiest vege-
table plant we have when properly cared
cared for. First make ridge eight
inches high and twelve wide. II the dirt
is not strong enough to grow thrifty
plants, go to the fence corner and get
some that is; place about one peck where
the plant will stand. Set plants three
feet apart-not less. Get stakes-say
three inches in diameteT-and drive in
the ground, leaving three feet out. Drive
one every eight feet the length Of the
row. they will be three feet apart the
cross way. If you have elm bark handy
cut 1t in strips two inches broad-if not,
use stats or fence wire, making three
rows on each side at one foot from the
bottom, at middle and at top, then cross
near the plant TO keep it straight. Every
five or six days pass along and fix the
branches in proper shape, as you would
have them grow. Do not allow grass or
weeds to'grow within three feet Of plants.
Water the plants In evenings If II does
not rain enough TO make them grow fast,
and when the tomatoes begin to ripen
you will have a row of them five feet
wide, four feet high and ninety feet long,
from only thirty plants. Only think of
It'll The grand row, just covered with
big red tomatoes from end to end and
from bottom to top, all up out of the
dirt, clean and sweet Remember the
things we do should be done well. This
frame can be placed on one side of the
garden and remain for years.
AS l travel from house to house / see
tomato plants hege and there in gardens
fiat down on the ground, and the toma-
toes rot as fast as they turn red; or
planted in ridges three inches apart, with
stalks about as large as a lead pencil two
feet high and with three tomatoes per
stalk. Friends, try the frame plan and
you will be well pleased with it.-Fayil-

REDUCING A HORSES sPRAiN.

To reduce inflammation caused by a
strain or bruise on horse there is nothing
better than cold water in summer, but In
winter warm lamentations are used in
stead. After the inflammation subsidies
and soreness has in part disappeared, the
application Of liniments may he resorted
to with benefit. But no caustic, heating
or irritating solutions should be employed
until the inflammation in the injured parts
has been reduced with either cold or warm
water. For garget in COWS at this season
use cold water freely, even to covering or
inclosing the udder in rubber bag filed
with water.-NeU York. san.

at its base This base is surrounded by
stone figures Of kneeling elephants, each
of which is the size of the baby elephant
in the circus. These have fiat places
upon their backs, and it is upon these that
the offerings are often laid. Here and
there are little dovecot-like shrines, be-
fore which incense always burns and the
roofs Of which have been turned by its
aromatic smoke into SCOT. No matter
how hot the day these women and men
here kneel, and under the blazing sun

REVENUE FROM A FLOCK OF HENS.

A flock of hens should pay at least 81
head clear profit each year. This is n
low estimate, and by careful management
can be made twice as much; but think
among farmers more come short Of this
than exceed It. The fowls are often left
too much to the women and children, or
TO Tom, Dick and Harry. How often do
they have nothing in the shape of lime,
or dust to roll in, or water TO drink, un-
less they find it for themselves2 How
often their quarters are cold, or wet, or
tilthy-no profit need be looked for In
such cases. .-Neto York Tribune.

COLTS PAY HANDSOMELY.

There is more money to be made from
colts, whether of the horse or mule kind,
than from any other farm animal. A
three -year-old colt will cost no more for
feeding than a three -year-old steer, but
it will frequently sell for twenty-five or
thirty cents per pound of live weight
against two TO four cents per pound for
the steer. So that it is well worth the
cost to rear colt well. This is the
season when the colts are arriving, and
the condition of the mare is the first
thing to think Of She must be well fed
and kept in thrift and health. Overworll
Is to be carefully avoided; fretting is to
be prevented by kind treatment and con-
sideration for her lactiferous condition.
Aud the colts should be equally well
looked after. A run in grass field with
the dam and months rest and good
feeding, with bran and oats for the latter,
will be the making OF the young thing
until it is able to eat little bran and a
few Of the sweetest oats newly thrashed
for 1t. After that the food NAV be
gradually increased and that of the'mare
kept up to supply full yield of milk.
Exposure to hot sun or cold rains is to
be equally avoided for the sake of the
colt.-Neto ToI% Times.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
IF rou HAVE cnnDRrN, KEEP snrrl

IF you HAVE CHILDREN, KEEP SHEEP.
Says the Western Rural. Sheep breed.
ing is an interesting branch of our farm
industries. There is no other line of
breeding, we believe, that will interest a
man who has tastes in that direction, so
much; and the more interest we have in
our work the greater success il will likely
be. At all events sheep have fasoina-
ton for the boys, and if you have boys
and desire TO interest them in the farm,
and to develop them, you can well afford
TO keep flock of sheep. If then, you
have dry farm, and especially if you
have children, tsy sheep"

SULPHUR, LARD AND KnRosrNr.

Sulphur is advocated as lice destroyer.
1t is recommended to use the flowers of
sulphur to dust the hens with or put in
their dust bath, claiming that the heat
from the body generates a gas which kills
the lice. 1t is accepted by nearly every
body that this is a fact, yet it is an
erroneous idea. The fact OF the heat
from the body generating gas is absurd,

st. Louis Creeping Away From the Mis-.

Few people have ever stopped to think
that the city is gradually, but surely,
creeping away from the river. The ten
dency is altogether westward, and in a
short while the Mississippi River, which
made st. Louis the great city that she is,
will he left far behind. Even the ware
houses are yielding to the popular ten
dency, and are moving toward Fourth
street, leaving nothing but sheds and
dives on the Levee. The steamboat bust
ness was given great blow when the rail-
roads came into general use. The bust
ness has been gradually falling off ever
since, and now, on account of the tendency
Of the population, it will go down hill
