Japanese MIllet.


The Massachusetts Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station has recently intro
duced three new varieties Of millets
from Japan. Among them is a variety
Of barn-yard grass, Panicum Crus Gal
II, which, while 1t differs in its habits
Of growth, is botanically identical
with the common barn-yard grass.
The variety from Japan has been
grown for q few years at the Massa-
chusetts Station. Professor Brooks Of
that Station is very enthusiastic about
It and recommends 1t as fodder crop
either for feeding green or for the silo.
As a forage plant 1t may yield ten or
twelve tons Of fodder per acre, and
when thinly sown In rows about foot
apart yield of Afty to ninety bushels
Of seed may be obtained. Ordinary
barnyard grass Is coarse annual,
with stems two to four feet In length,
appearing In midsummer, in low,
somewhat damp places or on cultiVat-
ed grounds. The ordinary variety Is
a very troublesome weed. Professor
Brooks says: This Japanese variety
Of the species has not become q weed
here, however, although the seed does
not lose all vitality during the win
ter. Although 1t is possible that 1t
might under some circumstances be-
come troublesome, 1t is hardly liable to
prove more so than clover or winter
wheat, for instance" This plant is be-
ing quite extensively advertised by
seedsmen under the name Of Japanese
Millet, or its scientific name, Panicum
Crus CALI. While this may prove to
be a valuable acquisition to our fod
der plants and not become means
of spreading a bad weed, the Expert
ment Station would recommend the
farmers of Maine to be cautious about
purchasing seed Of this new plant. Ger
tainly the seed of Pan'cum Crus CALI
should be bought only of reliable deal
ers, who will be sure to furnish the
seed Of the Japanese variety. The mis-
chief that would be wrought by sowing
seed of ordinary barnyard grass is
self-evident. Chas. D. Woods,
Director Maine Experiment Station.

an apparently deliberate reduction in
the quality of ashes. During the year
preceding the receipt Of the five sam
pies above described, the Canada ashes
sent to the station for analysis were OF
good quality. One sample is Of inter-
est because, though very moist, 1t yet
contains a high percentage Of potash.
The ashes had most probably been ex-
posed to rain, instead of having been
leached and afterward partially dried.
Three samples Of domestic ashes are
characterized by being very dry, and
one was probably taken soon after the
ashes were removed from the stove.
Average Canada ashes contain about II
per cent Of moisture. which renders
them as damp as the average chemical
fertilizer. Buyers of ashes should
therefore look with suspicion on lots
that appear excessively moist, because
in such cases the potash is seldom
equal to the proportion In average
ashes. The refuse ashes were samples
from burned rubbish, principally waste
paper and refuse lumber. The analyti-
cal results speak for themselves. Ashes
from paper are as yalueless as those
from coal because the soluble mineral
matter has been leached out Of the pa
per stock during the process Of paper
making.

A veteran shoers Advice.

/ have shed horses for forty years,
and will give my experience concern
ing the shoeing and the care Of the
feet, writes William Guinter, ST., In
Farm Journal. / would first say it is
not the best blacksmith that makes the
shoe stick the longest on the horse.
That depends on the quality of the
nails and the good of the feet. ] am
not anyways backward in stating That
there are more horses feet injured In
shoeing than any person would think
there were. When the smith goes to
shoe a horse he should take a good
look at the foot and see whether the
foot is straight or not, and then dress
and set the shoe so as the foot becomes
straight. First, don't lower the heel too
much; don't cut the frog, only the
loose fragments. Pare the foot hollow
so as the shoe rests on the horn OF the
foot. Cut some Of the toe of the foot
of as it grows long. Keep the foot as
round as possible. Don't fit the foot
to the shoe, but fit the shoe to the foot.
Here is where the trouble is with nine
out of ten smiths-they don't shape the
shoe right. You take a colt when he
is first shod and his foot is round, and
so 1t ought to be kept, and then there
would be fewer narrow, contracted
horses feet than there are. Take a
good look at the most Of horses rect,
and just see how narrow and pointed
and long they are. Not round ana
broad as nature would have them, Just
because the smith shapes the shoe mar
row, and puts 1t on the foot and cuts
on the sides of the foot, and in short
time you will have a narrow, con-
tracted foot, and every time the horse
is shod 1t becomes more so. nave
many a time, or always do, alter the
shape Of shoe by rounding 1t on the
toe. II you have q narrow foot that
has been spoiled in thus shoeing, you
can In a short time have it wide and
broad by making the shoe rOunder on
the toe, and In several shoeings as the
foot grows 1t will become wide. An
other point, set the shoe straight on the
foot, range 1t in line with the frog and
the toe Of the shoe. Look at the FOOT
and see whether one side has grown
out more than the other side and set
the shoe over 80 as the foot becomes
straight. l will also give you my way
Of shOeing a horse that interferes or
cuts his ankles in travelling. In dress
ing the foot cut down the outside OF the
foot as low as possible; leave the In
side high. In fitting the shoe for sum-
mer have a spring heel shoe; have the
inside Of the shoe the highest and In
setting the shoe set 1t in little Of the
foot. A horse never strikes or cuts
himself with the heel of the shoe. 1t Is
always with the side Of the foot or the
side Of the shoe or the clinches Of the
rails. For winter shoeing raise the in
side calk the highest. A horse will cut
or interfere most when the roads are
rough OF uneven. In thus shoeing you
will observe that when the horse sets
his foot down OF level ground the ankle
will incline out, and as the other foot
passes by 1t will not strike. On rough
and uneven roads he sometimes sets his
foot down the lowest on the inside, and
thus will strike or cut the ankle.

Inferior Wood Ashes.

In Bulletin 43 Of the New Hampshire
College Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton Prof. Fred w. Morse writes: The
time for purchasing fertilizers having
come, the station wishes to call the at
tention of farmers to the Veritable COM
position Of wood ashes and particular
" to some evidently fraudulent lots OF
Canada ashes, samples Of which were
received at the laboratory last fall.
Five samples, representing three diff
ferent lots, were received during octo-
Der, 1896, from widely different sec
lions OF the state, namely Plymouth,
Stratham and Walpole. The ashes
were all bought Of the same wholesale
dealer, and analysis showed them to
be quite uniform in quality, but mo-
ticeably inferior. The proportion Of
potash is low, especially II the soluble
form is alone considered which fact
taken with the quantity Of water, leads
one to suspect that these ashes had
been either leached partially or pre-
pared By mixing leached and dry ashes
together. The proportion Of lime found
in the most inferior sample disposes
Of any suspicion Of adulteration with
lime as the PERCENTAGE is not high. The
pfiee Of these ashes was $40 per ton
delivered in carload lots at the respec-
tive railroad stations. This price is
lower than any quotations previously
known to the station. The important
point for the purchaser, however, il
that the low price was accompanied by

The Arizona experiment station has
just issued a timely bulletin upon the
sugar beet. Never before in the United
States has there been manifested such
deep interest in the sugar beet and
sugar beet culture as at present. The az
ricultural press from the British posses
sions to the gulf and from the Atlantic
to the Pacific bear evidence of the fact
that the people throughout the United
States are aroused in this matter and
propose finding out whether 1t is pos
sible for the United States to grow its
own sugar, instead of sending abroad
each year the enormous sum Of $780,
000,000 for this commodity. The re-
markable success attained at nearly, II
not quite all, the factories in operation
during the past year has stimulated
this interest and now there is scarcely
a locality in the United States which
does not desire a sugar beet factory
and is not taking steps to ascertain
whether beets cannot be grown Of sum-
cient richness Of sugar to warrant the
establishing OF factory In that place.
In view Of these facts this bulletin will
undoubtedly be welcomed by a large
part of the farming community in
many portions of the union. The bull
letin is an exhaustive one, going to
some length into the history of the
sugar beet industry and giving numer-
GUS statistics setting forth the advan-
tages to a community Of a sugar beet
factory. While destined primarily for
regions in which the beet must be
grown by means Of irrigation, it is not
without interest to all localities. 1t
will be sent gratis to all interested
who will apply to William Stowe De-
vol, Director experiment station, Tue
son, Ariz.
