SECOND Growth sorghum Fatal TO cattle

There has been considerable ill-advised
criticism in some quarters because made
public a warning. backed up by our state
veterinarian and other intelligent observ-
ers. that under some conditions the green
second growth of sorgum and Kaffir corn
"a non-saccharine sorghum) were quickly
fatal to cattle, says +. D. Coburn in the In
diana Farmer. The misunderstanding
seems to have arisen largely over the sup
position that the cured second growth was
also equally angerous-something that, so
far as l know, has not been claimed by any
one. There appear too many unquestioned
instances of cattle living on or being
"picketed" for weeks exclusively on this
green stuff without harm to them, yet,
on the other hand, there is abundant tes-
timony that in many instances these kill
cattle about as quickly as strychnine
would Why, 1 do not pretend to ex-
plain. Here is a recent experience by M.
L. Brlggle, an intelligent citizen of Sum-
ner county, Kansas. He says: 81 raised
few acres of Kaffir corn, and cut the
fodder when part of it was in the head.
A few stalks were ripe and quite a good
deal had not headed. let the fodder cure
in the field in shocks. Nov. "a and rs
hauled out the fodder. There was some
scattered and there was also a little sec
ond growth, and quite a good deal
of crab grass. / turned in several
head of COWS thinking they might eat the
scatterings, and they were not in five min
utes until they began to stagger. 1 took
them out of the patch Immediately and
they were better in few hours. l never
thought of the second growth hurting
them. ! gathered the fodder out of the
patch clean, and the next morning
turned in all my cattle. In fifteen minutes
two cows were down, one never got up
again; the other l succeeded in getting
up and out of the patch. She staggered
a few rods and fell again and in less than
an hour both were dead. There was not
much Of the second growth and it was only
about six inches high L do not think
that each COW could possibly have had
more than two or three handfuls of it,
1 had them turned in the second time to
eat the crab grass. The three that were
sick the day before would not touch the
second growth, but when gave them the
fodder they ate 1t as we'll as ever
Il see that the state veterinarian thinks
such disaster must be due to sorghum
being with the Kaffir corn. This am sure
is not the case here, as there was not a
stalk of sorghum on my farm. The ami
mails suffered greatly, every muscle in
their bodies seeming to be convulsed, and
as much as a bucket full of green water
ran from the mouth of each after they
were deed. They had plenty of good water
to drink whenever they wanted it, They
did not bloat that l could notice"

Best arnases for south F1 oriaa

After several years of observation and
experience on a small scale, 1 am con-
frmed in the belief that the Para grass
and the Bermuda grass are the grasses
best adapted to the southern portion Of
our state, says writer in the Farmer and
Fruit Grower. For a long time l have
known that Bermuda grass was a most
excellent grass, but never knew until the
past two years that it could stand entire
inundation, remaining submerged for
weeks or months and come forth strong
and vigorous when the water subsidized
This hardness renders 1t of incalculable
value to the ranches situated on the rich
and fertile valleys of our lakes, rivers
and creeks. / am now resolved to plant
the Bermuda more extensively on nv rich
hammock and muck lands. l desire to
learn where 1 can obtain the seed in an
preciable quantities. Could | find out
through your columns where Il NAV be
obtained and about the price per pound
or bushel?
The Para grass on low, rich land sub
ject to periodical overflow is the grass of
grasses. The rains and floods may come
but the old reliable Para grass is there
with its head above the water, and as long
as stock can keep a footing they NAV
feed and keep fat, and when the water Is
gone and drouth sets in, it Is there and
can stand as much dry weather as any
grass in the world.

mates that West Virginia will pay in

a year. This will DO large amount Of
money to take out OF the state in year
in addition to placing on tho FREQ list

Itisno answer to say that this money
will be taken from pers ons OF good in

money will be taken out Of West Fir-

poorer.

WHEELING, DEoEHBER 10, 1894.


In the Rev. Francis r. Mullaly Or.
parkhnrst has very csptious critic
Raw Mullaly is Of southern birth, but
New York habitat and member oil the
presbytery, which passed resolutions
approving Of DR.. Parkhursts work in
improving the morals OF Gotham, where
he vigorously opposed their passage
and among other things, observed that
"Jesus Christ would not have acted as
DR. parkhurst did on his visits to dIsor-
derby houses"
This is q specous argument and IN
no wise fits the case under considera'
ton. Whatever differences there may
be about DR.. Parkhurst'a methods no
one can deny his motives. and none can
Int applaud the result OF mis- crusade
AGAINST iniquity. His was the true
Christian spirit which always carries
with it the solace Of charity, inasmucn
ms he held out helping hand to the
unfortunate class he visited and pro-
yided shelter for many OF them, even
housing some of them beneath his own
roof. "By their works ye shall know
them" But Rev. MulIaly is OF that
order that "passes by on the other
side" and leaves the unfortunate to the
ministrations Of those who have the
.nirit of true human sympathy in their
hearts.
However, the Rev. Mr.. Muiiaiy ia
sineuIarly inconsistent when in the
course OF an interview he gives express
SION to these sentiments:
II Beenher had lived In the south nt inc ume oil
the Triton scandal Mr.. TtltOn would have pm a
riS,Si 20 his breast and killed him, ana that
iRronId have been an end OF IL. There would
have been no sensational trial and the papers
Allied with scandal and filth. The Key; w
LYMAN Abbott was instrumental IN RAISING a
rsnnument 10 Beecher, and 1t was 10 his shame
that he did II.
This is an astounding doctrine for a
minister OF the gospel to advocate. Does
tho Rev. Mr.. Mullaly believe that Christ
would have endorsed the southern
method? His words stand forth in
startling variance with the words OF
Him who said, "but the greatest OF
these is charity"

some palsied bachelor or neglected

always a happy mean, but fads, crusades

The microbian craze has driven ILL

tremity OF unreasonableness in not
only denouncing the practice OF kissing.
but in the formation OF an Anti-Kissing
club at Detroit, the members of which
publicly parade their vicarious sacrifice
by wearing red button on the coat
lapel or dress. This society is the out
come Of the many scare articles OF
physicians reciting the danger OF COM
municating throat or lung diseases
through the contact Of the lips. So far
as kissing a person who has sore
throat, or any other disease, is con-
cerned, the theory is rational enough,
but to make the inhibition general in
its character Is carrying wise prscau-
ton into the realms Of folly.
There is kissing and kissing, and the
propriety and safety OF OSCILLATION can.
with perfect security, be left to the
interested parties. These extremists
are not rational in their universal fear
of the direful consequences OF kissing,
for their logic might be applied to the
man who kissed his vile goodbye, and
coming into unexpected contact with q
railroad train haif an hour afterwards
was brought home corpse.
No one Of good taste would have any
desire to salute an invalid or friend or
relative suffering from disease. but

that beat as one, came together, is it to
be supposed they will stop through any
fear Of the deadly microbe or tho patho-
genie bacteria? Not OIL your life, Ric-
cardoi
But along comes medical authority
which suggests that if people will kiss,
the preoaution should be taken to
sponge the lips with diluted carbolic
acid. There are many prudent persons
who foresee evil. but it is doubtful
whether they can be induced to go
counting with bottle Of carbolic acid.
