In India it is known that under COnhi. tions of extreme drought, nitrate of potash may be formed in the canes Of the closeiy.rclated Johnson grass In sufficient quantities to cause the death of animals eating much of the forage This seems more likely 10 taXc place when the drought is fol- lowed by short period Of excessive rainfall.

IL is noticeable that the in stances reported follow seasons Of protracted drought, as was the case with the corn in Kansas and the juar pant in India, and also that in these localities the soil was supposedly rich in nitrogen and potash.
 However. cases of poisoning are SO rare that little loss from this source is to be feared, although caution in feeding is always advisable. until the animals have become accustomed to the forage.
 Summary.
 Sorghum stands drought better than corn. It is a stronger feeder and will do better on thin soils. It is a good crop to grow on "alkali' lands.
 As general thing. the earlier Va rieties are preferable for forage. Use plenty of seed. Sow when the ground becomes warm, in a well-pre- pared seed bed.

cows DYING.
nuch Stock Poisoned by Eating
Corn Smut.

Farmers are losing their cattle
from eating smut on the corn stalks
in the corn fields. Many farmers
carelessly turned their cows into
their fields after gathering the corn,
forgetting that smut is fatal to cat
tie, and leaving 1t on the stalks
where they could help themselves
to it, A large number have been
poisoned 10 this way.
Mr.. John f. Ladd, of Trigg coun-
ty, lost dozen head of cattle last
week, and similar complaint
comes from McCracken county. A
large number of cows in Tennessee
have also been lost in a like. man

We have heard of no losses in

the militia was there, their services
were not needed beyond the "mor-
al suasion' which their presence
lent The occasion. During yester-
day afternoon and last night about
125 of the strikers departed, most
of them probably because they were
not residents of the county and the
leaders did not want this fact to be-
come known in positive or official
way, others left because they
have good homes, far more comfort
able than the camp which they oc
cupied merely for the effect that
numbers might have in their pecul-
lar methods of conducting this
strike. They did not want to be
arrested and have it proved in
court that they had homes, and
some of them families, where it
would be cheaper and better for
them to hive than in the camp, thus
disprovipg their claim that they
lived in camps because they had no

SD. Piper, Sharpsburg, is thorough
ly discouraged over his efforts to
proftably grow peaches III Washington
county and is now engaged in cutting
down an orchard Of 1900 trees 5 years
old-in their prime. He says he can
make more money out Of the land
by farming it, For three successive
years he has lost money. Last sum-
mers crop was very heavy, but the
fruit was inferior, the markets were
glutted nearly all the time, and no
many shipments he did not receive
sufficient returns to pay the freight.
The crops Of 1899 and Of 1898 were
failures. He dreaded another failure
next summer and would not take any
risk. He said he made money on the
first peach orchard he planted, but
that was before everybody went into
the peach raising business. He says
he knows many others growers who
will do the same as he is doing. In
destroying an orchard the tops are
first cut off of the trees and then the
stumps are pulled out with traction
engine.

HOW ZULU WOMEN SEW.
They Use skewers For Needles and
Giraffe Sinews For Thread.

Giraffe Sinews For Thread.
The skill Of the Zulus Of South Africa
In sewing fur Is a household word in
South Africa, and some Of the other
tribes compete with them. The needle
employed is widely different from that
used by the ordinary needlewomen. In
the first place, it has no eye; in the
second, it is like skewer, pointed at
one end and thick at the other.
The thread is not Of cotton, but Is
made Of the sinews of various animals,
the best being made from the sinews
In the neck Of a giraffe. 1t Is stiff,
inelastic, with a great tendency to
"kink" and tangle itself up with any
thing near 1t. Before being used II Is
STEPPED in hot water until 1t Is quite
soft and Is then beaten between two
smooth stones, which causes 1t to sep
arate into filaments, which can thus be
obtained of any length and thickness.
Thus the seamstress has a considera-
BILE amount of labor before she COM
mences with the real work in hand
Finally she squats on the ground
(for no native stands to work or do
anything else who can possibly help
IT. and. taking her needle, bores two
holes in the edges Of the rug or gar
ment on which she is working. The
thread Is then pushed through with
the butt of the needle, drawn tight,
and two more holes are made with
a like result, the skewer progressing
very slowly, but fast enough for
country where time is of no value
whatever.
The skin upon which the seamstress
Is working Is damped with water be-
fore she commences. and as the damp
thread and hide dry out they bring the
work very closely together.

ABSENTMlNO EDNESS.
Absurdities Into Which Victims Of
the Habit Have Fallen.

the Habit Have Fallen.
When lapses of memory become
habitual, the person is properly called
absentminded. The Chicago Tribune
relates the following absurdities into
which some victims Of this disease
have fallen:
A bridegroom of "a hours left his
wife, strolled around to his mother-ln-
laws house and asked her if her
daughter was at home. This came
from force of habit. He had been call
ing there daily for some time, and 1t
probably occurred to him that he had
not paid his usual visit.
A Chicago bank president is unable
to account for three-quarters OF an
hour of his life. He went into n res
taurant as usual and ordered his lunch.
Nearly an hour later he found himself
in his office chair and suddenly re-
membered the order.
He went back across the street and
asked if the luncheon was ready. The
clerk informed him that he had eaten,
paid the bill and gone away some 10
minutes before, that he had put his
hat on as he went out and that he
(he clerk had not noticed anything
peculiar in his actions.
The bank president congratulates
himself that he can be trusted to be-
have like an ordinary mortal even
when he doesn't happen to have his
mind with him.
An editor of n daily paper has laid
himself open to unkind remarks by
trying to take up a collection In his
office. Happening to want a small
coin, he turned to his fellow worker
and asked for a quarter.
Haven't got 1t, but here's a dollar"
the man replied as he tossed it over.
The editor put the dollar in his pocket
and Immediately turned to special
writer at the next desk and said:
miss -, could you lend me quar-
ter? Then, seeing the man from
whom he had got the dollar grin, he
added hastily: ooh, never mind. just
got a dollar from Brown"
In Analysing his conduct he said
that Browns reply that he did not
have n quarter was apparently the
only part Of the transaction that made
any impression upon him. But he is
under suspicion in that office and Will
probably never be able to live it down.
