QUEsTIoy.-I have seen the article.
which arpeared in one of yonr recent
Monthly Tlks." on ,ha culture OF
broom corn. Will you plea.e give me
what information you can in regard to
the curing of this plant. ETC.?
ANSWER The time of harvesting
will depend upon the use to he made of
the crop. When you plant only for the
broom corn brush. you may cut much
earlier than when the seed is one of the
objects sought When the blossoms be.
gin to fall. you may begin your bar.
vesting, that is if the brush is the OBJ
ject sought. The qualify of the brush
is better when cut on the green order.
for the reason that it makes the straw
tough and gives it live color and ac-
cordinalv commands better price in
the market. Before harvesting, it is
customary to break down the stalks,
burning down the tops OF the stalks OF
two rows towards each other. thus leav.
ing a vacant place for the laborer to
work in cutting. The stalks are broken
about 3 feet above the ground, and
when the stalks of two rows are turned
towards each other. the stalks of one
row will cross those Of the other in such
a manner as the tops will project about
foot on each side. Each two rows
are then broken in the same way until
the crop has been finished. This will
leave space through which the har-
vester can pass in cutting the brush,
which is usually done Immediately af.
ter the crop is broken. The dwarf va
rieties do not require the breaking pro-
cess, as the stalk is low and the
bunch is not so long and heavy.
Cut the brush SO as to leave only or 10
inches OF the stalk below it and no
leaves. These should be laid In small
bundles as cut and then gathered up
to cure it in the sun. Do not allow any
rain to fall on the brush after cutting.
Cure In the shade, under shelter If pos.
sible. When extensive crops are grown,
special barns are built for this purpose,
with extensive shelving, so that the mir
cap pass through tine brush, that it may
not mold or be damaged. Where the
brush is harvested green the seed is
generally separated from it before cnr-
ing. This is done with hand machine
made for the purpose. 1t can also be
done with the grain threshing machine
by holding the head TO the cylinder and
not permitting the brush to be drawn
in. The broom cornstalk. when cut at
the proper time, makes a fairly good,
coarse forage and compares favorably
with cornstalk forage.
In preparing the broom corn brush
for market, it can either be baled in the
common cotton compress, or in press
used for baling hay. When the brush
is baled in this way. it can be much
more easily handled and marketed. The
prices for the same range from 8 cents
to 9 cents per pound, according to che
nnalitv State Agricultural Denart.

The "beatenist" swindle of all
of 'em is now being worked on the
northern part Of Indiana. A man
IN the garb of a minister calls at
the home of a well-to.do farmer,
wins the hearts of the family, and
reluctantly accepts hardpressed
invitation to remain over night.
In the evening, just as the preach
er Is finishing prayer, a knock is
heard nj the door, and a Young
man, with an apparently blushing
bride on his arm, asks if Brother
So-and-so is there. The couple is
then ushered i'll, and through the
hospitality OF the farmer, the
knot is tied at once. The farmer
is then asked to sign the marriage
certificate simply as witness.
Later the farmer discovers that he
has signed a note-Tipton (Ind. J

While the waters rush and foam.

Row me back to shore and home.
Oh, thou gloomy Appomastox
If can once reach the shore,
On thy dark and stormy pillows,
will venture forth no more.
When long to be communing,
With sweet nature, / will try
Home and hammocks in the future,
And will pass thy waters by.
For thou, famous Appomattox,

Cannot give me compensation,
Fot the comforts of the town.

And thy shore so grim and dark
Oarsman, into warmth and shelter
Guide my helpless bark
Once again, old Appomattox,
| am floating on thy tide,
Rowing with my friends and comrades,
Where the stream is clear and wide.
Once. thy waves were dark and heavy,
And the sky was overcast;
Now, the radiant moonlight scatters
All the shadows of the past
We are sailing, Appomattox,
Where the water-lilies grow,
Drinking in their dewy fragrance,
Idly dreaming as we row,
And we see by silvery moonlight.
As we gently ply the oar,
Glimpses of the ox-eyed daisies
Where they line the sloping shore
And | see, fair Appomattox,
Waving shadows dance and CLEAN,
And it brings me rest, and quiet,
And Retrospective dream.
OF the past, when here the red man,
With his heart to Nature true,
Skinned thy surface like swallow,
In his little birch canoe.
Yes, thou smiling Appomattox,
Many vision comes to me,
As drift upon thy pillows.
Flowing onward to the sea.
And l think. oh, gentle river.
Of the old colonial days,
And l hear the night bird singing,
Grateful notes Of joy and praise.
Thou should be, fair Appomattox,
Like the Nile, in song and rhyme,
And be decked with fowery barges,
As in Cleopatra's time.
Now farewell, historic river,
When / land upon thy shore,
I'll remember all thy beauties,
And will love the evermore.
