SORGHUM SEED.

When the sorghum is ripe and
still standing in the field, I go out
among it and when I find a nice,
strong stalk out the head off it,
leaving about foot of the stalk with
the head. When / have out all !
want tie the heads in bunohes of
about dozen each, and hang them
up to dry. When well dried I put
them in a secure place where leave
them till planting time the following
spring. I then take the heads in my
hand one at a time and strike them
on the inside of barrel until the seed
is all shelled of. In this way I have
seed that is sure to grow.-W. o.

Very few people know how to keep
honey. The average housewife will
generally put it in the cellar or into
the refrigerator for safe keeping
about the two worst places possible
Honey is kept very different from
fruit. 1t is thoroughly ripe when
taken from the hive and will, there
fore not ferment unless placed in
cool, moist place. We learn from
the bees that it should be kept dry
and warm, as they keep it. In the
kitchen cupboard is good place for
it, or any room where salt will keep
perfectly dry. Even temperature
of 100 degrees is not too hot for
honey.-F. g. Herman, New Jersey.

VARIETIES OF WHEAT.
Washington, D. G.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
1t is not 80 easy a matter to deter.
mine just the best variety of wheat
for any farmer to grow, although
the market is flooded with plenty of
different kinds and an abundance of
literature concerning each. The fact
is that each farmer must find out
through experience just what vari-
ETY. will do the best. After all one
must cling to old standard varieties
until something better is found. It
would be folly indeed for any farmer
to purchase seed of new variety
and plant acres of it before he had
demonstrated to his own satisfaction
its advantages. Take the concensus
of opinion of farmers in regard to
the half dozen leading varieties of
wheat, and it will be found that no
definite decision is reached. Advo-
oates of each variety must modify
his opinions and conclusions so that
no definite news is conveyed. Even
the experiment stations cannot say
oonclusively that this or that variety
will be the best on farms of suoh a
section. Now the fact is that some
of the best varieties of wheat used
to-day are old standard ones, and
they have not run out except on Ger.
tain soils and regions. A fine variety
of wheat need not run out provided
proper culture and selection ere
given. There is consequently no
need to purchase new and untried
varieties, although it is always we'll
to set aside an acre of ground for ex-
perimental work. On this land plant
as many new varieties as necessary,
keeping strict account of the amount
of seed used, and the amount of the
yield. By little comparison in this
way it is easy to ascertain whether
a new variety is superior to the old.
Even when this has been shown by
one years culture it is we'll to pro
oeed slowly and merely plant few
acres with the seeds the following
year. Then if the test is successful
it's culture can bo extended. In this
way one keeps abreast Of the times,
and at the same time runs no risk.
The farmer who buys new varieties
of seed wheat on the recommenda-
tion of others is in a fair way to
meet with a great setback. He may
be successful, but the chances are
even that he will fail. Because
somebody in an adj Looming State hap
pens to raise an immense crop with
q certain variety it does not follow
that the same can be accomplished
elsewhere. There are soil, the climate,
and many other conditions to con
slider. Experience in farming makes
men proceed more and more care
fully each year in adopting new
methods and varieties of plants.
There is too much information flying
around loosely. 1t is wise to test
any new recipe before using it whole
sale. Then we know of what we
are speaking and doing, and the
science becomes an exact one.

acre. The second year we did the
same and the five acres brought
about 40 bushels to the five acres, or
eight bushels TO the acre, just little
over half the yield of the year before.
just as soon as this crop was of we
sowed the land down in peas and
turned them under at sowing time
and drilled the wheat in with Buck
eye disc drill, putting the same kind
and same amount of fertilizer to the
acre, and it brought between As and
so bushels to the five acres, about
9H TO the acre but slight increase
over the year before. That fall we
turned under the weeds again and
soWed the wheat down in like man
ner as before, and it brought about
20 bushels to the five acres, not one
third it brought the year we sowed
it after it had rested.
From the above you see the first
thing essential to bring a profitable
crop of wheat is to have rested land.
One year ig enough rest then grow a
crop of something that will deposit
in the ground good amount of am
monia.
From. the experience have had,
there is nothing so good for this as a
good coat of COW peas. There is no
pea that is as good for this purpose
as the cow pea, for there is none that
has 80 large vine and root as the cow
pea. Some say the vine is no good
to the ground. Idon't think there
iB much good in turning under the
vine, but the greater top the vine
has the more ammonia it will catch
from the air, and the more root the
vine has the more ammonia it can
receive from the vine and deposit in
the ground.
Farmers, if you expect to make q
profitable crop of wheat, don't SOW IL
on a piece of land you have run in
wheat and corn one after the other
for years, for there has no ammonia
entered the ground until it has be.
come tough or cloddy, and there is
not life enough in the ground to
bring profitable crop of a grain that
requires as much ammonia or alkali
as wheat does.
You find men all over the country
who have land that ought to bring
from eighteen to twenty bushels per
acre, and they take lots of pains to
SOW it and fertilize it we'll, and make
about eight to ten bushels to the
acre, and they will say there Is no
pay in fertilizing and they have not
perhaps let their lands rest in twenty
years.
I know a man who bought run
down farm and moved on it a few
years ago and there was some very
good wheat land on it that had rested
for about three years, and he turned
it we'll in the winter and sowed peas
on it and then turned again in she
fall and sowed two acres down with
his hand and narrowed it in. On the
two acres he made eighteen bushels
of wheat and the next year he had
taken in one more acre and he used
300 pounds of 13 per cent. phosphate
to the acre and drilled it we'll, and on
the three acres he made 80 bushels
but a little increase over what he
made by sowing with his hands. The
trouble was his land needed to rest
again and get in shape to receive the
ammonia from the peas and weeds,
If you will try resting your land
one year and sowing in peas one year
and then plow as suggested, think
you will be pleased with the results
If write again, will speak on
how to SOW wheat.
