When to sow and What variety.
Hard on the Land and Needs Manure.

Hard on the Land and Needs Manure.
/ am asked a number OF questions re-
garding millet, says L. W. Lightly of
Pennsylvania in The National Stock
man and Farmer. When shall / 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 a 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 so 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 1t grows
very rapidly.
What variety? l tried a number of
ear5etses, but the German or Golden
gave me the most satisfactory
results. How much seed to the acre
If seeded rather thick, 1t 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 1t 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.
I often grow a 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
Sow only clean seed.
Is it hard on the land? Should use
stable manure or fertilizer? Yes, 1t Is
hard on the land. Like timothy, 1t
takes all its food from near the sur.
face. Being quick grower, it needs
plenty of readily available plant food,
SO | prefer to plow or work In we'll rot
ted stable manure and use a quick act
ing fertilizer. A good fertilizer on my
soil found to be $50 pounds of 8. C..
rock phosphate, 80 pounds nitrate of
soda and so pounds muriate of potash.
1t makes a good soiling crop. For
hay | 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.

BRUSHING SHED FOR CATTLE.


eight inch board is nailed at the top
of the posts. In the upper edge Of these
boards are cut notches about four inch
es deep and two and a half inches
wide.
Now take boards inches wide, 13
feet long and inch thick. Arrange
these In as many pairs as there are
notches in each end board and bore
holes through them at intervals of one
foot preparatory to boiling them to-
gether. Brush Is now placed between
these boards and clamped fast. Only
one of these brush is shown in the H.
lustration. The clamps thus formed
are now placed in the notches In the
end boards, with the brush hanging
down. They are held down by narrow
boards nailed across the tops of the
posts.
The difference In height at the two
ends makes 1t suitable for cattle of all
sizes. The brush will last for long
time.

What to Do With Bones.

This question of how to use bones Is
asked very often. Rural New Yorker
answers: You cannot make fine bone
meal on the farm without a steamer
and powerful grinder You can soften
the bones by packing them in layers
with wood ashes. Put an eight inch
layer of broken bones at the bottom of
a box or barrel. Then put layer of
unleached wood ashes, then more
bones, and so on to the top. Keep the
whole mass well wetted with liquid
manure or urine. In 80 days the bones
will be quite soft and can be smashed
with maui or heavy shovel. This will
ut equal the fine ground bone which
the manufacturers sell. but is about the
best you can do on the farm.

Eternal Lamps.

A common superstition that the an
clients possessed the art Of making
lamps which would burn forever for a
long time obtained, and 1t was claimed
that one such lamp was discovered in
the tomb Of Rosicrucius. Science, how
ever, has long set this, together with
other superstitions, forever at rest,
since it has been demonstrated that
fire will not burn In a chamber from
which the air has been exhausted.

Saving Roasting Ears From worm


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 tudg-
ment and observation of the grower
can determine just the right time for
this operation, and in many cases II
will save the entire roasting ear crop.
If the pollen from the corn tassels does
not fall upon the silk, no kernel or
grain can form upon the cob, says Pro-
