M1LLET FOR so1L1NG.
A Crop Furnishing Valuable Feed for
Dairy Cattle, Young Stock,
Sheep and Poultry.

Millet, says a bulletin Of the agricul-
tural department just published, is fed
principally as hay and soiling crop.
The forage ranks well with that of
other grasses in the, nutritive content,
and its palatability is about that of the
average for the coarser sorts. For
digestibility, millet forage compares ia
vorably with that from other coarse
grasses.
Already widely grown as a hay crop,
millets deserve more general use for
soiling. They are particularly valuable
for feeding to dairy cattle, young stock
and sheep. There are many sections Of
the country where this crop can be
made to supplement- the pastures in
such way as to allow material in
crease in the number of stock that can
be kept on the farm.
On account of the heavy yield Of for
age and the good quality. of the product,
millets are excellent grasses for use in
the silo. Frequently a good crop Of mil
let can be raised under conditions which
would not admit of growing corn for en-
silage, and in such instances it becomes
of especial value. One of the best meth
DDS of preserving this crop is by theu use
of the silo. Those who have tried this
method have obtained xcellent results.
A fine quality of ensilage may be made
by using barnyard millet and legu-
minous crop like soy beans or clover.
The seed of the foxtail millets is widely

seldom fed to stock. 1t has, however,
been used in feeding young stock, such
as calves, with a fair degree of success.
The seed is excellent food for laying

FLOOR FOR HORSE STALLS.

meath the flooring of the stall should
slope a little SO that the liquids that
run through the openings in the stall
flooring will be conveyed down behind
the stall, where they may be absorbed
in the litter. The pieces Of which the
stall floor is made may be five inches
wide, laid one-half inch apart. They
are shown farther apart than this in the
cut in order to make the matter plain.
There should be four cross bearings
under the stall floor if two-inch stuff is
to be used.-American Agriculturist.

Making Use or weeds.

a crop of weeds that are nearly ma
tured. but which have not produced
seeds. is one that will pay if it il
plowed under. Even weeds can thus
be put to good use if rightly handled,
but the farmer who allows single
weed to produce seed multipiies his
work il the future. There is no waste
OF time in killing weeds. as no work on
the farm pays better if future labor is
considered.

at is an amazing fact that OF all bills

gone to the trouble to make some in
quiries into this matter and hnye been
astounded to find that not one-fourth
of the bills sent by doctors are paid

is a quickening OF the conscience. n
simple realization of n proper sense OF
duty needed in this matter.
ut is high time, in the case of hum

them the doctors have for so many
years been the last to receive their due
in the payment of their bills, II would
be only simple Justice that hereafter
