best attractions of the day. There was
strong tip floating in the betting
ring Oh Diamond Dick. but the bookies
never refused TO offer less than 2 to l
against the nag. Belisarius was the
favorite, however. and went to the post
carrying large amount of money. The
talent could not understand how the
bOokies could offer TO l against
Argenta. as she beat Belisarius

IN the break Diamond was first, and he
went past the grand stand leading Bel

SORGHUM GROWING.
This important plant not only continues
to hold its place in the list of forage crops,
but is growing in favor with Kansas farmers.
One man last year ventured to SOW on raw
prairie land and obtained creditabIe results.
He had so acres to break, and beginning
about May be put two teams to blowing,
sowing the seed on the unbroken prairie at
the rate of one and quarter bushels per acre
by means of seeder attached to farm wagon
which was driven before the plows. The
seed was then turned under. Enough land
can be sown in couple of hours to keep two
teams busy all day. The grain was sown on
the virgin sod. which had not been burned
off, as is usually done before breaking, but
had been closely gFazed the previous season.
In this instance the field was not even rolled
or narrowed afterward, as should have been
done, as the rakiHg and harvesting could
then be done much better and much mora
easily. The seeding and breaking continued
from May to July 1, the first sowing max
ing the heaviest and tallest growth. The
crop was cut, raked and shocked soon after
it was moved, yielding from four to six tons
per acre. The dry, hot days of September,
when it is usually harvested in this climate,
will cure it perfectly without mold or heat
ing in the shocks, aud it is brighter, sweeter
feed than when it has lain and bleaehed in
the sun. The weather, however, must be
very dry. Another of our farmers will sow
200 acres of fresh-plowed sod this Spring.
His plan is to break, then roll and harrow
with disk harrow. thoroughly pulverizing
the sod. During May and June the seed
will be sown with a press drill at the
rate of one and quarter to one and
half bushels per acre. The more seed
sown to the acre the finer will be the fodder,
and consequently more easily handled in
harvesting and feeding 1t makes desira-
bic early feed which is greatly relished by
stock. and there is no crop that yields surer
or greater return, for it apparently bids de-
fiance alike to drOuth and chinch bugs.
Some claim the crop should be cut while
the seed is in the dough, that it will then
keep sweet, but it keeps sweet until the fod-
der gets wet land we rarely have much rain
in Kansas during Fall and Winter), then
when it freezes or heats the best part of it is
destroyed just as with any fodder crop.
Sorghum remains green here until frost,
about Oct. Is. 1t can be harvested any time
between maturity and frOst.-OraHge Judd

ENSILAGE.

This is the time to determine whether or
not ensilage is to be used for feeding next
Winter. Or, to put it in another way, to
determine if the most that can possibly be
made from the land devoted to feeding
crops is to be so made. One acre of corn made
into ensilage in any part of the country may
be depended upon to feed two to four cows
the whole Winter, and the crop may be
full one or less. If only 10 tons be made to
the acre that will feed two cows with half
enough for another one; but as 20 tons may
be grown under the most favorable cireum-
stances, and every farmer should strive for
it. this will feed five cows during the VIM
ter This is the most serious thing to be
thought of at this time, when everything
must he made to count.
The fodder must be on the way first Il
is easy to make the silo before the crop is
ready for cutting. This will be the work Of
a few days only. To estimate the yield we
may take these figures. The rows are three
feet apart, and thus 10 rows IS feet in length
will make One-twentieth part of an acre,
and should yield one ton of the green corn.
At one foot apart in the row, each hill of
corn should weigh three pounds to make the
20 tons to the acre. If three or four seeds
are planted at each foot and the common
field corn is used, there should be no trouble
in getting three pounds from each of the
hills on any good land; if not sufficient
quantity of fertilizer should be used to pro-
ducs this quantity, or the estimate of ths
yield must be reduced.
Frequent cultivation with slOping-tOoth
light harrow or wide-toOth eultIvatOr set
to 90 no more than two inches deep is indis~
pensable for full yield of ensilage corn, or,
indeed, for any kind of corn. The con-
stantly-stirred surface maintains the moist
ure in the soil and admits the air by which
the roots are nourished, as we may reason
ably believe, and thus the crop gets no check,
but grows on and makes the full yield. It
is not even necessary to wait until the young
corn appears above the surface for the first
cultivation. 1t is better to stir the soil
few days after the planting, and if the slop-
ing teeth of the light harrow run on to the
rows over the seed, no harm will be done.
1t is this abundant cultivation which makes
the large crops, of course, not neglecting the
proper fertilizing of the land. But this
alone is not sufficient The food must be-
digested and assimilated before growth Of
plant occurs, and for this the soil must be
constantly stirred, but without the slightest
injury to the feeding roots 0Iman's RRraI
