Sorghum.

Many farmers have planted and sown
sorghum this year who have had but
little experience with it, says the
Homestead. In the past few weeks we
have been flooded with all sorts OF in
quiries regarding it. We will attempt
to answer them in this article. Sorg-
hum has been sown as a pasture feed
and for forage. So far as we are able
to ascertain there is no objection what
ever to the use of sorghum as a for
age. 1t can be cut UP, wilted and fed
as a forage with impnity. There are
some objections to it as pasture. Oc-
casionally, and for some occult reason
that scientists have not been able to
discover, cattle die in a few minutes
after being turned onto sorghum pas
ture. The second growth is supposed
to be the worst, and yet there are cases
on record where the first crop has prov
ed equally fatal. These facts cause a
great many farmers to hesitate about
attempting to grow sorghum for pas
ture.
Different methods have been tried in
curing and feeding sorghum. Sometimes
there is difficulty in getting the
sorghum to cure as much as needed for
best keeping. The stalks dry slowly
and become blackened If stored in con-
siderable quantities. Where it has been
sown thickly it can be cut with a now
er and cured very much as hay is
cured. The most approved plan is to
cut and cure for awhile until it is we'll
wilted. which may take a longer time
than another, owing to conditions, then
shock it up in large shocks and leave
it in the shock until 1t is used. It
keeps perfectly in shocks If they are
well made and it will cure out so as
to make excellent feed. If planting has
been done so 1t is thicker than conven-
lent to NOW with a mower it may be
cut up and shocked in the same man.
ner as corn, and may be fed directly
from the shocks or hauled in when per-
fectly dry. When made into hay, it
may be baled when it is perfectly dry
and used as an article of commerce
where its value as a feed may be
known.
The time for cutting sorghum will
differ according to localities. The best
time for making into hay for feed is
when the seed is in bloom or not later
than when the bloom has fallen off If
let go until the seed natures there will
be a more noticeable woody condition
of the stalks and the feeding value will
be lessened. Its value has been stated
as being but little better than oat
straw by some who have fed it, and
by others it's value has been placed
much higher. In the absence of some
thing better its value is hard to esti-
mate. since something is better than
nothing.

Cotton Quiet and About Steady,
Grain Markets Easier.

There was no great interest in the
cotton market; fluctuations covered
only a moderate range, and closing quo
tations were about points lower than
a week ago, January 7.75c. The crop
movement continues light, the week
running nearly 125,0O0 bales behind last
year. The demand, however, is still
Indifferent, the trade being apparently
inclined to adopt optimistic views re-
garding the crop. There does not ap-
pear to be any improvement in the gen.
eral tenor. of crop accounts, favorable
conditions in some sections being about
balanced by excessive rains elsewhere.
Accepting the Texas deficit at 1000, 900
bales, the recent unfavorable advices
from the Mississippi valley leave little
probability for the balance of the coun-
try to make the shortage good. The
outlook at present, therefore, is for a
total less than last year, and with an
early fall, as the season seems shaping
for, it may fall materially under TO-
100000 bales. 1t must be remembered
that this has been a year in which at
no time could the general condition of
the crop be called favorable. The mar
ket should take a start upward pretty
soon now.
The wheat market was dull and drag
ging all the week. At no time was it
particularly weak, but prices gradually
sagged until December fell a shade
below zoe on Saturday. The close was
dull at about &c decline, December,
70Mc-just where it closed two weeks
ago. The heaviness of the market is
attributable mainly to the free re-
ceipts, and the slowness of speculation
to awake to a realization of the vital
facts of the case. These are, briefly,
that the surplus of the American crop
will prove insufficient at current prices
to supply the European shortage, and
the extra requirements of this country
arising from the calamitously short
crop of corn. Wheat ought TO be SELL
ing as high as soc right now, and it
will not unlikely go considerably be-
yond that figure in the course of the
season. Wheat is exceedingly specu-
lative, and frequently starts off on a
big movement very suddenly At 20
cents it offers an unusually promising
field for investment.
Corn was strong early, but turned
quite weak later, mainly on speculative
liquidation. The corn crop Is so short,
and the present price so high, that the
future of the market is hard to forecast
with any degree of confidence.

The Cloth Market.

Manchester, Sept 29.-The cloth mar
ket last week was characterized by a
lack of animation. The turn over was
moderate. In some sections conditions
were slightly better toward the end of
the week, but the aggregate was small.
Inquiry for India was poor, most Of
the offers being impracticable. There
was more inquiry for shirtings for
China, which occasionally resulted in
business, but price and delivery diff
cult to arrange. The merchants were
not eager to operate.
There was a steady miscellaneous
demand for South America and the
Mediterranean section.
Yarns continued unsettled, owing to
the fluctuations in cotton. Buyers are

Continued from Sixth Page,

ing after seeding increased the yield
little over bushels per acre. On the
value of rolling wheat lands in the
West the United States Department of
Agriculture has this to say: A roller
should never be used on the Western
plains, except in the case of late plow-
ing, and even then it should be used
only before drilling. This is owing to
the fact that roughness of surface is
valuable for holding moisture and
checking the injurious action of dry
winds. The seed bed should be made
very fine and mellow before drilling,
and whenever possible the drill rows
should run east and west. Strict at
tention to such general principles as
the foregoing will result in an increase
in certain seasons of as much as or
10 bushels per acre.
