"B. NJ" asks: How late can sorghum
be planted to make forage for winter use,
and is the Amber variety a good kind for
the purpose"
To get the full benefit of sorghum for
forage it should be planted early in April
for then 1t will give two or more cuttings
by frost. On good land and properly cul
tivated and kept clean it can be planted
in June or even July, but We should pre-
fer fodder corn for this late planting, as
it is so much easier to make a large crop
where only one cutting is made. The AM
Der is as good as any kind for the pur-
pose.

Pasturine Too EARLY.

Farmers who are short of feed are apt
TO be in great hurry to get their stock
on the pastures, and as soon as there is a
half bite of grass cattle and horses are
turned out In this way hundreds of pas
lures are ruined for the season. A great
many farmers are we'll aware that it is
ruinous to a pasture to put stock on it too
early; but there are hundreds who never
have given the matter a thought. and
hundreds more who are SO anxious to util-
ize everything in sight that they forget the
future and these are the fellows who are
loudest in their complaints about short
pastures along In July.
1t pays far better to buy little feed, If
you have run short. than to put the stock
out before the grass has obtained a fair
start. Then don't pasture the grass to
death by putting on twice as much stock
as it will support, and you win have plen-
~ of feed until you have a soiling-crop 10

NIiIIet.

A reader asks why 1 oppose the growing
of millet as a fodder crop. My attention
was first called to this subject through re-
marks made by Prof. Roberts of Cornell
University some years ago. He said he
would not grow it on the college farm, be-
cause he had seen enough of it's evil effects
upon stock while engaged at a Western
agricultural college. This led me to sub
sequent Investigations l found that it is
liable to have disastrous effect upon the
kidneys of animals. There seems but little
danger if cut before seed forms, and hen
fed green, or properly cured and fed as
hay; but a large majority of farmers are
so careless that they will not heed this
warning, and illness of animals and veter-
mary calls ensue. A few farmers grow
and feed the stuff with apparent advan-
tage; but they are of a class who always
do things timely and in order. For such
reasons 1 could not conscientiously recon-
mend, in the public press, the growing of
millet. Another weighty reason is that
both corn and sorghum are more profita-
bic fodder crops, green or dry.

This is a word perhaps hard to grasp by
of moisture from below coming to the sur
face where it quickly evaporates into air
if not held in check by mulching or fire.
quent stirring of the soil, says the Rural
asst In a recent address Prof. Van Deman
explains how these little tubes may be
broken and the moisture retained in the
soil for the use of the plants. 1t is an old
story worth many times repeating to Ru-
ralist readers until it becomes so familiar
that ii becomes practical.
He shows very clearly that the setting
of trees in the midst of grass plats, of Ber-
muda, for instance, is not a practice to be
commended in regions where there are long
summer droughts.
It should be thoroughly understood that
capillarity works horizontally as we'll as
vertically This is the philosophy of a Gull
tivated piece of ground being robbed of its
moisture by an adjacent one that is not
cultivated One sucks the other dry. We
should also fully understand that frequent
stirring Of the surface soil breaks up tho
infinitely numerous capilarity tubes or
channels, through which the water escapes
to the surface, where 1t Is evapOrated and
absorbed by the air. The loose surface is
sort of mulch. Where no such dust mulch
is on the surface, as in a field of small
grain, or grass, the evaporation goes on I'M
dnterruptedly. And if there is a little patch
of cultivated ground in it, as I'm case of
tree planted there and dug around, hori-
zontal capillarity will soon draw away its
moisture. In addition TO natural evapora-

Substitute for Paris Green.

Paris green is a good insecticide, but
there is some objection TO it in liquid form.
1t does not dissolve readily, needs constant
stirring, and If it settles at all is not like
ly to distribute evenly afterwards, and
then it will be ineffective in some places
and Will burn foliage in others. The Ohio
Experiment Station reports that arsenite
of soda is a good substitute not open to
these objections and costing about one
third as much as Paris green. 1t is made
by dissolving two pounds of commercial
white arsenic and four pounds of washing
soda in two gallons of Bor-
deaux mixture. This is suffi-
cent when spraying for potato blight
and potato bugs, for apple scab and apple
worms, or for any other purpose where

into complimentary remarks as to his

Is in black and white. Not one word said

Now, we don't want to be unfair or make
that no intelligent and unprejudiced man
can reach any other conclusion than this
that no other qualifications were mention
cd because the jury could not find them
they knew they did not exist. IL il had
been otherwise they would have made the
fight on the merits and qualifications of
their candidate, as well as on his resi-
dence.
"As our grand jury have been analyzlng

my analysis OF this remarkable present

1T means that Chatham Is not to be
allowed to have a member of her own

be, to preside over her own Superior
Court, If he does not occasionally sleep

sleeps occasionally in Dillingham;, without
qualifications worthy of mention, shall

II the learned ex-senator did not want

he went very far out " his way to use
language which could have but one effect
and that was TO injure Mr.. seabrook In
his candidacy for the judgeahIp. Mr.
Wright knows MIR. Sea brook and knows
his standing in his community, and he
must be aware Of the fact that grand
jury Of bingham county would not stul-
tify itself by recommending for so high
position as a judge to preside over their
Superior Court one who had neither mem
tai nor moral qualifications. II Mr. Wright
does not know MIR. Seabrook sufficiently
well to recognize his mental and moral
character, IL is to be deplored, but the
grand jury of Ehingham county, besides
many others, have long since known that
Mr. Seabrooh possesses both the mental
and moral qualifications which peculiarly
fit him to preside In court of justice.
