Sorghum Good Feed.

Some are inquiring about sugar cane
for feed. We planted about ten acres
last,year, writes Tom Pontingin Breed
ers' Gazette, drilling it in with corn
planter. We fixed the plates SO it
would drop about three seeds in place
and tended it as we do corn. We cut
and bound it with q corn.harvester.
You must be very careful in putting it
in shock as the tops are so heavy it will
fall over. We had no trouble in curing
ours, but we had to let it stand in the
field until we were ready to feed 1t. 1t
has so very much moisture in it that it
cannot be piled together until very
late in the season. think 1t made six
tons to the acre after 1t was cured. [
would like to ask some one which has
the most feeding quality, sugsr cane or
Catfir corn? We bought little Katfir
corn at sale the other day and our
herdsman does not think there is as
much feeding quality in the corn as
there is in the cane. If there is 1 would
like to plant about half Katfir corn in.
stead of so much sugar cane. The
trouble with sugar cane in this black
soil is that it gets so tall that the wind
blows it over. Kaftir corn will not do
this. think the sugar cane is grand

The Ret Won the Case

I'm one Of the remote counties Of the

two lawyers were trying case be-
fore justice Of the peace. 1t was 60
miles as the crow flies to the nearest
law book, and the attorneys differed,
Of course. as to the law upon the main
issue in the case. They were trying the
case without the intervention of jury.

decision ought to be.
"Finally Miller, the plaintiffs counsel
offered to bet Hoover, the defendants
attorney, $40 that he was right. Hoover
did not happen to have that much OF
the circulating medium concealed
about 'his person. and was naturally al
loss how to parry this forcible argu
ment.
"The court waited few moments

One Of the district school trustees
was crank on the subject of fire,
and when he called round with the ex.
amining board he always confined his
remarks to question addressed to the
pupils as to what they would do In
case the building should catch fire.
The teacher was acquainted with his
hobby, SO she prompted her scholars
as to the answers they should give
when he rose to PROFOUND his accus-
toned inquiry. When the board called,
however. this particular trustee, per-
haps from desire to emulate his as
sociatss in their addresses, rose and
said:
you boys and girls have paid such
attention to Mr.. Jones' remarks,
wonder what you would do, now. II
were to make you little speech?"

Business OPPORTUNITIES.

The b. G. r. N. Ry. is constructing q
new line north and west from Worth
ington, Mimi, to the west line of the
state, which will be completed within
the year. The country through which
the line passes is the best in south west
ern Minnesota, is practically all under
cultivation and thickly settled by we'll
TODD farmers who have been going fif.
teen and twenty miles to market. Ar
rangements have been made to lay out
towns at the most advantageous loca-
tions for business. These towns will
need stores and shops of all kinds and
merchants will find favorable openings
ON this new line. Doctors and profess
sional men will also find good locations.
This company is also constructing a
line from Armstrong to Estherville, la.
There will be two new towns on this
line named Maple Hill and Irwin, and
investors will find splendid opportuni-
ties at either of these points.
The railway company will, as they
have always done, join with the business
men of their towns to build up centers
of trade.

Stock on the Farm.


No farm is so small but there are
some wastes on it If the product is sold
direct from the farm. 1t is impossible
to raise and sell grain and hay without
losing some portion of it which might
have been saved if live stock were
kept.
The man with large farm may be
able to go on raising and selling grain
and let the wastes 60, but the small
farmer cannot allow these losses.
For the small farmer horses or cattle
are out of the question as they require
too large an area of pasturage, but
with hogs or sheep the case is different.
They can be kept with profit in COM
paratively cramped quarters. Either of
these kinds of stock may be used to
make meat of grass and grain. Feed
may be sold in the shape of mutton,
wool or pork to better advantage than
In its original condition. The small
farmer should be an intensive farmer
and intensive farming ls impossible
without the help of live stock or the
purchasing of large quantities of fertll-
izers, which is not good farming.
The man who owns small farm and
keeps small herd of hogs or small
flock Of sheep, is likely to become an
enthusiast, and if this is the case the
stock kent will oct much larper nrices
than common stock and the profits will
be increased.
AS matter of fact the small farmer
with few animals is in a position to
take the very best care of his animals
whether they are to be used for market
or are pure-breds which are to be sold
for breeders and in either case the re.
turns will be larger than they could be
where larger focxs with less care are
kept.-Farmers' Voice.

Some Feeding Tests.

Bulletin No. 80, of the Massachusetts

very little effect upon the quality of

cent or amount of total solid matter in
the milk. 1t is we'll recognized fact
that some feeds affect the flavor and to
some extent the color of milk. Feeds
rich in protein have a tendency to
slightly increase the percentage of fat in
some COWS: the same can be said of
feeds rich in fat. This increase is prob
ably Only temporary, however, the milk
gradually coming back to its normal
composition. The milk. producing func-
tion is to large extent under the con-
troll of the nervous system. Any in
tiuence that disturbs the quiet or nor
NAL condition of the animal, be 1t rough
usage, extremes of temperature, etc,
will have its effect upon the quality of
the milk. On the other hand plenty Of
good feed increases the quality of milk
until the animal reaches! her maximum
of production. Prof. Patrick, Of the
Iowa station, conducted an experiment
in which number of COWS were fed
sugar meal," a refuse of our glucose
factory. In the first experiment it was
thought that the cows fed this feed
gave decided increase in butter fat,
but the experiment not being sstisfac-
tory, second trial was given, and in
this experiment it was found that COWS
fed sugar meal" gave no increase in
butter A similar experiment was made
in one of our eastern stations in which
beef tallow was fed, beginning with
ration of two ounces and increasing to
two pounds per day, and at the close of
this experiment it was found that the
COW was still giving her one pound of
butter daily, her previous record.
These references and experiments are
given to show that it is the breed, more
than the feed given, that is to deter
mine the character and composition of
the milk. Were 1t only the feed given,
what would be the use of our choice
dairy breeds, when Texas COW could
be made by feeding to produce as many
pounds of butter as the Jersey. We
should then feed the COW sufficient
quality of rich, wholesome food, with
plenty of pure water constantly on hand.
