Sorghum lis one of thesvery best OF

small amount Of hay to depend upon

as . substitute. About the hrst OF June,

land where poor stand Of clover and
some weeds had been turned under,

bushels per acre of late Orange sor-
ghumtseed. This year l shall sow one
and one.half bushels per acre, as the
hay win be finer, better to handle and
easier to cure.) ,s4f:- $,s<i...s .csss

to sell. Our sorghum gave us II large
loads OF of three acres. b. #
As9to sorghum for green feed, I think
that {ffrst-class pasture is justtas good,
but it is all right when pasture in late
summer is short, to feed cows or
horses. In May of last year we sowed
an orchard of two acres to sorghum,
i'll drills. using corn planter, one peck
of seed per acre. This we commenced
feeding in midsummer, when pasture
began to get short, and found that
cows and stock of all kinds except
sheep relished it. Six yearling cattle
were put in q small lot and fed sorghum
exclusively one month and think they
did as we'll as those given the run of
pasture fields. Horses are fond of it
in the green, especially about the time
it is ripening or has gained it's growth,
and will relish. it even in pasture as
we'll as in manager. As to it's being

suits. This year I shall sow "a acres
in place of three, and shall give the
young cattle sorghum all winter, as
those fed thereon this winter are do
ing well. l have some doubt as to its
being as good feed for sheep as hay.
Some. of our sheep seemed to have
looseness of bowels, and as we .;were

you are not sure you will have enough
feed otherwise, a few acres of sorghum
will not come amiss next winter.-Carl

The shootfnx Crase.

. Every man thinks he can shoot un-
til laughed out of the idea, and every
lunatic likes to try his hand at
slaughtering live birds. Clay pigeons
require more skill. Great quantities
of pigeons are shot in this country an
nually, and all find their way to our
tables, where they are doctored and
served under foreign names. Many a
man in our cheaper restaurants does
not know that he is eating pigeon in
stead of the game bird he has ordered.
Your table d'hote proprietor has "a
knack of keeping pigeons for a week
or two, changing the taste of the meat
with chemical, ana imposing it upon
his stranger guest. The shooting
craze is 50 widespread that 500 magau.
traps soon will be in operation on the
grounds of the leading gun clubs Of
the country. This means that 25,0o0,.
900 clay pigeons will be thrown and
shot at in 1900, representing an ex-
penditure of $4,000. The powder

FatteninE Geese In France

One metho of fattening geese in
France is to put the birds in barrel,
in which a number of holes are bored,
each large enough to permit the birds
to put their heads through. The bar
rel keeps them confined and thus pre-
vents exercise, which is the object of
the confinement. Outside of the bar
rel food is placed in abundance, and
the geese spend most of their time eat
ing. This food is mostly paste made
of. barley, buckwheat and sometimes
Indian ,cornmeal. Milk and potatoes
are also fed, where they are easily OBJ
tainable. ST - r @s@

TRUST OF FARMERS.
Coming Agricultural COnEress
in Paris.

The uniting of all the farmers of the
world in sort of international trust
or agreement to restrict the produc-
ton of wheat and to raise prices is the
project which it is hoped TO carry out
at the International Agricultural con-
ference to be held in Paris July to Is.
1t is proposed to ask the farmers of the
world to reduce their wheat output by
20 per cent, and not to sell bushel
for less than one dollar.
j. c. Hanley, of St. Paul, execu-
tive agent of the Farmers alliance and
Industrial union, the National Cotton
Growers association, the Farmers
Federation of the Mississippi Valley,
and the National Grain Growers asso-
citation, is the chief promoter of the
International Agricultural trust in
America. Prof. G. Rutland, of the
University of Fribourg, Switzerland, is
the chief promoter of the plan in Eu-
rope. The idea was conceived by these
two men independently.
Mr.. Hanley has been a worker in the
interests of the farmers for years. He
has been interested in many hold-your-
wheat schemes and is prominently as
ISOLATED with the farmers elevator
and various cooperative undertakings.
He has for years studied the problem
of wheat prices and is at present very
active in promoting legislation by con-
gress in the interest of the farmers.
He has long been of the opinion that
if the farmers would only get together
and come to an understanding as to
limiting production and would agree to
sell only when their price could be OBJ
tanned they could easily master the
situation. AS a professor of economics
Prof. Rutland had come to the same
conclusion. His study of the agrarian
problems of different civilized coun-
tries led him to believe that the only
cure for the widespread troubles of
farmers, which are much more severe in
the old than in the new world, is to re-
strict production. Both Mr.. Hanley
and the professor were hard at work
getting the idea into practice when
they encountered each other through
correspondence. Since then they have
been working in harmony with com
mon idea, namely to persuade the In
ternational Agricultural congress-. to
indorse the idea and recommend it to
the various associations present at
the conference for application next
year.-N. Y. Sun.

Prosperity Among Farmers.

I am aware that the idea prevails
that the chances are much better for
the accumulation of wealth in cities
than on the farm. This is very great
mistake. In the city small class has
a great deal of wealth and a large class
is in very moderate circumstances or
in the depths of poverty. The great
mass in the city are not as we'll oft
as those on the farm. The average
wealth of 80 per cent. of the inhabit-
ants of nearly every city in Illinois is
less than that of the surrounding coun-
try.-John T. Campbell, in Farmers

looking forward to it's ultimate an

solution to their greatest troubles.
Certainly there must be some radical
change in Hayti's government if there
is to be much true progress there,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
At the present time it's so-called in
dependence is Hayti's greatest
stumbling block. But annexation
would impose terrible task upon the
American authorities, for all Hayti is
in a state of disorganization, social,
moral and governmental, such as can
hardly be imagined by anyone who
has not studied carefully existing con-
ditions there. 1t is hardly an exag-
geration to say that from the presi-
dent, Simon Sam, down, the people
are in positively hopeless state.
There are exceptions, but they may al
most be counted on the fingers of one
hand.
President Sam loves to call himself

him, some in all seriousness, but tho
majority in scorn. Anything more un-
like lion than his excellency can
not well imagine. His courage is of
such poor quality that he never goes
anywhere, either in the city or the
country, except under the escort OF
the entire Haytian "army.'
Soon after my arrival in Port an
Prince, had my first interview with
his excellency. I was on hand at the
appointed time, nine a. M, and was
at once shown to the grand salon on
the second floor of the palace. The
president greeted me cordially. He
expressed pleasure at receiving IAN

compliment by intimating that the
world at large was impatient to hear
from him. This delighted him. Then
he vouchsafed the information that
Hayti was not only the most fertile
island in the West Indies, but the
most beautiful as we'll, and exceeding
ly rich in minerals. All it needed, he

"But," he went on, ''the people lack
courage, fact that is due probably
to the little financial crisis which the
country has undergone purely as re-
suit of Hyppolite's extravaganza"
His excellency said this because in
Hayti they never forgive anyone who
takes step in advance, and his prede-
cessor, Hyppolite, built little rail.

two electric light plants, and laid out

with his excellency, however, that the
money spent for these improvements
had been thrown away. Then, seeing
how lovingly he chung to the great
gold chair of state in which he sat,
timidly asked how he liked being pres

of another revolution. He fastened I'd
assure me that the utmost content

nothing but revolution was talked OF
