ALL ABOUT MlLLET.
When to Sow and What Variety.
Hard on the Land and Needs Manure.

l am asked a number of questions re-
garding millet, says L. W. Lightly of
Pennsylvania in The National Stock
man and Farmer. When shall l sow?
Millet can be sown any time after corn
planting up to August in our latitude.
Last season we were in the rainless
district, and the ground was as dry as
powder for few months, until the be-
ginning of August, when we had a
shower. l then seeded two and one
half acres, and in about 40 or 80 days
it cut over seven tons of excellent hay,
and it made the growth with the aid
Of only two very light showers. With
plenty of heat and moisture it grows
very rapidly.
What variety? l tried a number of
varieties, but the German or Golden
millet gave me the most satisfactory
results. How much seed to the acre?
If seeded rather thick, it makes finer
growth and better quality of hay. 1t
also is more likely to smother the
weeds. But the weeds often make us
trouble in the early sown millet.
The ideal method to get ahead of the
weeds is to prepare the land in the
spring and then allow the weeds to ger
inmate and harrow it thoroughly, allow
another termination and then, about
the middle of July, make a very fine
seed bed and SOW, and very few weeds
will grow. But many times we want
to use the land for other purposes or
the weather will not allow.
l often grow crop of Canada peas
or oats before millet, and when that is
off disk the ground thoroughly and
seed to millet, thus taking two crops in
one season. | SOW the seed broadcast.
Sow only clean seed.
Is it hard ON the land? Should use
stable manure or fertilizer? Yes, it is
hard on the land. Like timothy, it
takes all it's food from near the sur
face. Being a quick grower, It needs
plenty of readily available plant food,
so prefer to pillow or work in well rot
ted stable manure and use a quick act
ing fertilizer. A good fertilizer on my
soil | found to be $50 pounds of S. G.
rock phosphate, 80 pounds nitrate Of
soda and 90 pounds muriate of potash.
1t makes a good soiling crop. For
hay l like to cut it when the earliest
heads have made seed, but the average
heads are just in blossom. If properly
cured, this makes very palatable hay.

SOME ODD THINGS

On the banks of the Purus, in South
America, dwells a peculiar tribe OF
people who are spotted in very
queer manner. All members of the
tribe are similar in this respect, men,
women and children being notified
black and white. They live almost en-
tirely on fish.
1t seems queer to think of water be-
ing the cause of fire. Still it has been,
and on a very large scale. on the coast
of Ireland. For centuries the great
waves had been breaking down the
rocks which lined the seashore, and at
last the water reached some masses
of stone that held large deposits OF
iron pyrites and alum. The water
washing over the deposits caused a
natural process, which is known as
oxidation, and which caused such a
fearful heat that the whole cliff be-
came a volume of fire. The rocks re-
sembled a volcano for weeks, and when
the fire at last burned out nothing was
left of this once towering cliff but a
mass of crumbling brick.

A TIMELY TABLE.

A person may be very fond of this
or that vegetable without knowing
anything of its medicinal virtues. 1t
is, however, useful to remember that:
Celery is delicious cooked and good
for rheumatic and equity people.
Watercress is an excellent tonic,
stomaehic and cooling.
Tomatoes are heath giving and pur-
flying, either eaten raw or cooked.
Spinach is particularly good for
rheumatism and govt and also in kid
ney diseases.
Potatoes, parsnips, carrots, turnips
and artichokes are highly nutritious,
but not so digestible as some vegeta-
bles.
Potatoes are the most nourishinG and
are fattenfng for nervous people.
Onions are good for chest ait 'cnts
and colds, but do not agree with ali.
Beetroot is very cooling and highly
nutritious, owing to the amount of SUI
gar it contains.

A MOUNTAIN LAKE.

Oh, limpid listener, in your placid soul
Are mingled all the songs that brooks have sung
When years and years, the shaggy hills among,
They bahbed Of their trials, with foamy tears,
UNTIL all wearied, having reached their goal,
You softly soothed their sorrows and their fears.
Like sentinels the stolid mountains stand
About YOU dres't in garb Of gorgeous greens
At early dawn their mrtored shapes are seen
In shmmering outline, painted by the sun,
Upon your face. athwart the cleaning sand
Nor fade from view until the day is done.
A fitting figure of eternal rest
You typify the changeless fate of man
When, having coursed mortality's brief span
Adown the hills Of Times his life shall end,
And all his doings, be they banned or blest,
Foreyermore with other deeds, shall blend.

have done many times in years gone by,

Anyone with bad back; any reader suf-
fering from urinary troubles, from any
kidney ills, will find in the following evil
dence proof that relief and cure is near

Mr.. Patrick o. Dryer, mason, of 81

me of backache which always bothered
me when I caught cold, which hurt me

New Haven know the fact through our
newspapers. Three years from that date,
or in the month of May, 1899, just as
ardently recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
as did when they effected the cure
mentioned above. My advice to anyone
suffering from kidney complaint is, call
at drug store, procure Doan's Kidney
Pills, take them as directed, and you will
be surprised at the results"

Saving Roasting Ears From Worms.

saving HOast1nS Ears From worms,
The only method known to me for
protecting the sweet corn or roast
ing ear crop from the attack Of early
worms is to cut off the ends Of the
roasting ear husk with a sharp knife
and throw the tops into a basket and
burn them. This should be done
about week or ten days before the
ear is ready for market. The judg-
ment and observation of the grower
can determine just the right time for
this operation, and in many cases it
will save the entire roasting ear crop.
