The value of sorghum, either cured or
put up In ensilage. has been fully dem
0nstratel during the past three years.
Under ordinary conditions two heavy
crops can be raised each year from one
sowing. running anywhere from eight
to fifteen tons total per acre. A this
crop stands the drouth well. can be
easily and cheaply handled by the i'm
proved machinery now in use, and Is
good for years when properly put up. 1t
would seem to be the sure feed crop for
this section. The cured sorghum is
more easily handled In feeding. but it
Is more expensive to harvest and cure.

Sweet Potatoes,

Some Of the varieties Of sweet pOta.
toes that are most popular In the South
will not succeed with Northern grow
ers. The sweet potato requires a long
season to grow In. and only the early
kind will succeed In the Northern
States. 1t Is usually mistake to send
South for sweet potatoes to plant. The
Northern varieties. propagated in slips
for planting by seedsmen. are much
better. as well as cheaper. than trying
to winter the sweet potato and cut 1t
into sets for planting, as Is done with
the ordinary white potato. 1t Is q
great advantage in growing sweet po-
tatoes to have well-rooted plants ready
to set out when soil and air are warm
enough to insure rapid growth. Most
OF the successful Southern varieties Of
sweet potatoes are watery aud poor
when grown North.

farmers grow turnips. allow sheep to

 General Merriam has telegraphed to the War Department suggesting the advisa- bility of sending to Manila the troops that were assigned to the Arizona, as these de- tachments have been designated to com pIete the regiments that have been for Warded Should he receive an affirmative reply the Arizona will sail at once with the troops.

TROOPS FOR THE YUKON
Soldiers for Duty on the River Leave Saturday on the
 Steamer Humboldt.

The Alaskan Exploration Company has received the contract from the Govern ment for transporting the soldiers from San Francisco to the various designated points on the Yukon River. There were bids from Seattle, Tacoma and Portland for the work. but the Alaska Exploration Company was best fitted to do the work expeditiously. so the contract was let to It..
 The Yukon River is falling rapidly so it Is necessary to get the soldiers away at once and on a fast steamer. Ire FIX p!o-ation Company offered the steamer iIumt old. from San Francisco and .hcir new river steamers from St. Michael to points on the Yukon.
 The Humboldt IS one of the fastest and best appointed vessels sailing out of this port and she has better record for speed than any other steamer on the Klondike run. The soldiers are all to be aboard next Saturday and early in the afternoon a start will be made. The companys s steamer Leelanaw which left few days ago for St. Michael is to tow the re- mainder of the river boats which T. P. H. Whitelaw built at Dutch Harbor. to the mouth of the Yukon, so that the troops will not be delayed waiting for boats when St. Michael Is reached.
 On the return trip the Humboldt will bring all the gold hunters who want to get back to civilization. It Is said that the Humboldt Steamship Company is get ting S700 a day for their vessel, and as they got $500 a day when she was run ming to Dyea, Skaguay and St. Michael for J. A Magee Jr., she must be better than a mine on Bonanza Creek.

After with regret that the brave boys of the Sixth were disappointed that they did not have an opportunity to do duty at the front. He added that it was with pride that he could say that there had not been one disturbing element, not even a quar- rel, in the command. Then followed a tions and a drill by a corps of the Sixth, after which there was a generous colla- ton for the soldiers and dancing.
