The acreage of kaflir corn In Kansas
this year is larger than ever before.
The drought of 1894 taught many farm
ers that they must prepare for adverse
seasons. and the fact that Kaflr co .

corn will dry up caused many fields to
be planted with it. The results have
been satisfactory. In some counties of
the state, notably Montgomery, the
yield Of the Katir corn has run as high
as 60 bushels to the acre, and 80 or 40
bushels to the acre is considered very

Pasturing Winter Wheat.

The subject Of pasturing winter
wheat has received some attention at
the Kansas experiment station. The
conclusion is arrived at that pasturing
is always an injury to the wheat. The
extent Of the injury will vary with
the character and condition OF the soil.
A comparison of plats pastured with
those not pastured amounted to ~
bushels per acre. The theory that pas
turing wheat fields infested by the Hes
sian fly is u benefit is thoroughly ex-
ploded. The pupa Of the fly is entirely
out Of reach of the cattle, being lodged
between the sheaths at the base Of the
young stems below the surface Of the
ground. Pasturing such fields can only
weaken the plants and leave them at
the mercy of the fy.-Farmer's Review.
