an excellent musical programme, was
the first step in the course OF the even
ing's enjoyment. In this, Prof. h. Nd.
Schockey was director. The Opera
House Orchestra rendered delightful
ovation and the choir sang pleasing
selection. Bertha Schrader gave a well
rendered piano solo, which ELECTED
rounds OF applause. Miss Flora VIII
liams sang one OF her most pleasing
solos ana the choir again sang
merry melody. After the
second overture by the orchestra, Mrs.
Williams ana Messrs. Day and Zulauf
sang beautiful trio, "Matiners."
"Cachouca" was the subject OF the
piano solo, so well rendered by Herman
j. Lenke. Mrs. Williams again de-
lighted with solo entitled For all
EterRitY." Closing the programme the
choir, assisted by the solo quartette,
gave highly commendatory rendition.
The crowd then repaired 10 the dane
ing hall, where, to the music Of the or
chestra, a season Of dancing was en-
loved. About midnight delicious
repast was served in the dining hall.

Hungarian Grass and MilIet.

Hungarian millet will be ready for
hay in six or eight weeks from the
time of sowing. 1t is hot weather
plant, will yield about the same as
one full crop of Timothy IN its
second year, growing under the same
conditions. 1t is valuable as q catch
crop where grass would not have
time to grow and where the perma-
hence OF perennial is not desired.
The seed bed should be very mellow
and of good depth. We nave had
good success with sowing three peck
of seed per acre upon tue burrows Of
mellow ground and then thoroughly
narrowing and bushing. This
doesn't seem to be too deep in warm
and dry midsummer weather. The
plant becomes well rooted at a good
depth and can thus better Withstand
the tropical conditions above ground
1t is bashful grower when it first
appears, but is vigorous enough later
on, and will become bruZen vaga-
bond at the last if not harvested be-
fore the seeds form, yielding harsh,
woody stalk and filling soil and barn
with seeds. If the man has the Skill
to take the iron out of the fire at the
right time, he has valuable addi-
ton to his bill of fare. German mil
let requires about four weeks longer
growth than Hungarian, and should
be sOwn at about the time field corn
Is planCed-lrom three pecks to d
bushel per acre. OF the effects OF
frost on either crop l am not pre-
pared to say beyond this, that cold
retalds the growth. German millet
will yield from One-half more tC
double the yield Of the Hungarian,
think, though my experience with il
is limited. The fact that it requires
the best part Of the growing season
aud its heavier yield raise it from
among the catch crops to place
with the regular field crops. Ii
might, therefore, fit into some place
where Hungarian would not, and
vice versa. In the East both OF these
crope are probably, rather make
shifts than regular dependence
Makeshifts, however, are very valua'

useful to preserve the equilibrium
between hay and ensilage. That is
If there promises to be lack OF hay
the millets may be sOwn, instead o

n pasture killed almost as Ger
tainly as though the killing was in
tentiOnal. let us notice how it was
done. Precisely the same methods
were followed that are followed suc-
cessfully in killing burdUcks, Capa-
da thistles, rag weed, iron weed or
any other kind of weed pest. Farm
ers understand perfectly we'll, no
matter how deep may bs the roots OF
the plant or how much starch IL

often pursue the same method with
their pastures. In the raukness Of

that il the pasture is to survive this
critical period, the roll must not only

might a. well expect healthy man
To live with II small amount of lung

closely pa-tured. Whether it, be n
weed or graz makes li;tIe difference
The real reas0u, therefore, for scant
pastures in the West in tbe summer
and fall il not dTOuth, nor is It lack
OF fertility in the soil, nor is it lack %
sufficient number or variety OF
grasses, but the common practice Of
over paIturi"g; in other word, OF
adopting the same measures tuat are
used for the purpose of killing weeds.
Inc way to kill n pasture. therefore,
is TO keep it closely eaten from -pring
until fall. Farmers who want to
adopt this method, have bat one
thing to do, VIZ, TO put Oh 1t twice as
much stock rs it can reasonably well
support. They understand perfectly
how to do this with prairie grass.
They know that the way to kill out
prairie grass is TO put on a COW to the
acre during five months OF the gr z
ing season, they will soon be r d OF
the grass, bur it is had for the ami

and dry seasons, aud its large amount
Ot root, Can stand close pasturing
better than any of the tame grasses,
with the possible exception OF blue
grass. There is another point in cOu-
nectiOn with close pasturing that
farmers do not comprehend fully.
| Tuey are ANXIOUS to secure a. much
pasture as possible per acre. The
way to do this ia no. to pasture close
ly but to allow the grass sutli :ienf
growth to keen the ground covered
all summer In order to do this i'm
July and August, they must euter
these months with u large amount
of grass on the laud. T"ese critical
months past, September, October and
November will furnish large
amount OF forage where the sol is
good and while occupied with i'm
proved grasses. Overpasturing there
