MILLET.

AT the close of winter we have not
ed that great share of the millet is
fed. Why this should be so is some
what of riddle, though it would
seem that the farmer would rather
have surplus of good timothy and
corn in the barn now than stack of
millet in the field. There is quite a
difference i'll the opinions of farmers
as to the value of millet as ration,
and as to its effect on the digestive
organs Of both horses and cattle. We
have had some experience in feeding
it and have reached the following con-
illusions:
In the season of drought the more
millet sown the better. 1t withstands
the dryness better than anything of
the grass or grain kind of which we
have knowledge. The time to sow it
comes when we can leave the corn
field without running much risk. The
corn has been well cultivated and har-
rowed once. For hay the millet

hide the ground directly Besides,
thus sown makes a finer stem and
more blade in proportion. A bushel
of seed to the acre is none too much
and if the season be at all favorable it
will turn off from three to four tons
to the acre. Nor does our experience
convince us but that it is easier ON the
soil than flax or wheat. To feed mil
let to the best advantage it should be
cut when the seed in the head is lit
tie more than half grown. If deferred
until the seed is ripe the stalk becomes
woolly and the stock do not relish it,
hence there is more or less waste. We
have thought, also, that if fed when
fully ripe, it was rather too rich for
a steady ration. Yet we can not say
that we ever saw any bad result from
feeding millet at any time or in any
condition. We always sowed millet
as near the first of June as possible
Then the harvesting comes by itself.
If properly managed it can be done
very leisurely, which would suit an

AGRICULTURAL.
SELECTING CATTLE FOR FEED
ING.

Where the cattle for feeding are to
be purchased much care is necessary.
There are cattle on the market which
no amount of skill or feed or attention
could ever make into even fair bull
locks. The type of feeder which has
come to be most sought after by cat
tlemen is described as being deep and
broad in the body, fiat and broad on
the back, set on short legs, and smooth
and even in every part A recent
writer describes this very well by say
ing: "Select those with the flattest
backs" Since animals in low condi-
tion seldom show their true form, it
has come about that much stress is
laid on the shape of the head The
desirable indications in this part are
large, moist muzzle with open nostrils,
shortness of face, as much breadth
as possible in the forehead and large
full eyes, with an expression that de-
notes quietude and tractibility. The
term quality" includes a great deal.
The more common parts which are
examined in the judging of quality
are the bone i'll the lower part of the
leg, and the skin. In the bone it is
desirable to have sufficient size to
carry the weight of the animal, but
with cleanness and absence of any
freshness or superfluous tissue III that
part which is waste when the animal
is placed on the block. In the skin it
is desirable to find a soft, loose skin of
medium thickness covered with an
abundant coat of fine, silky hair.
Quality is closely associated with good
breeding. Animals strong i'll the blood
of any of the purely beef breeds are
more profitable than low bred animals
When generations of scientific care
and liberal feeding have been bestow-
ed to produce an animal well adapted
to making beef from grain and for
age, it is not the part of wilson to
disregard the cumulative effect of all
this and seek to secure profit from ami
mails which have back of them no
judicious selection or systematic man.
agement. The particular point in
which well bred cattle must excel
those of lower breeding is in the ex-
tent to which they place the meat
upon the upper part of the body where
it commands higher price, and also
in dressing out a high percentage of
edible meat from their live weight.
The highest type of feeders are
much sought after, and have conse-
quently become very high priced in
comparison with the poorer grades
of stock. In some cases it has been
found that to buy lower priced class
of cattle, finish and sell them at
lower price is more profitable than to
pay the prices demanded for animals
of the kind that feed into market-top
pers. Where it is desired to raise cat
tie for feeding purposes the considera-
tions are much the same as would en-
ter into a discussion of the advan-
tages of buying calves or yearlings in
preference to two-year- old steers. -

THE OBSERVATORY CIRCLE.
Proposition to Acquire Site of In

The District Commissioners have re-
ceived a letter from John D. Long, Sec
retary of the Navy. calling attention to a
recommendation in the annual report of
the Chief of the Bureau of Equipment
that plat 5 adjacent tc the National Naval
Observatory Grounds, be acquired TO com
plete the Observatory Circle" Plat 5
is the property of the District of Colum
bia. and upon it is located the Industrial
Home School.
The purpose OF the acquisition of the
site is to fill out the boundary of the
circle which surrounds the observatory at
some distance as a means of protection
to the finely adjusted instruments used
Secretary Long states that before TAX
ing action upon the recommendation the
Navy Department would be glad to re-
ceive from the Commissioners any sug
Gestion they may have to make in regard
to the matter. Their attention is invited
to the underlying purpose to be sub
served by the establishment Of the "ob
servatory Circle" in the security of deli
cate astronomical Instruments in such
manner that their efficient use may not be
impaired by vibrations caused by heavy
machinery, traffic, or otherwise. or by
smoke or currents OF heated air in the
neighborhood.
Secretary Long suggests that it may be
possible for this object 10 be satisfac-
torily attained without the absolute acqui-
sition by the United States of the title
to the property now used for the pur-
poses of the Industrial Home School.
The letter of Secretary Long was today
referred to the Board of Charities for
consideration and report
The question of abandonment of the
present site of the Industrial Home
School has been Informally discussed by
the Board OF Charities. 1t is stated that
the present buildings OF the school are
not especially valuable. and 1t has been
suggested that the sale of the site and
buildings might net the District enough
to acquire better site and erect new
buildings better adapted 10 the needs of
the institution. The proposition contain
ed in the report of the Chief of the Bu-
reau of Eauipment is not likely to meet
with any opposition on the part of the
Commissioners Of the District.
II has been suggested that the United
States might take over the site of the In
dustrial Home School and the money for a
new site equally valuable might be paid
for out of money from the United States
Treasury.
