The Jayhawker.

The Jayhawker is the eighth won
der of the world. He is also the ninth
and tenth. He tracked it across Hi
nois and Iowa and down through
Missouri into Kansas, in the DAYS of
her youth when reports were rife of
her sprodigalitY and generosity. He
came in the early spring OF late win
ter and reared unto himself a sod
house wherein to live and to sleep.
and to worship God to the dictates of
his own conscience. All the spring
he worked breaking sod and planting
corn. Every prospect was fair and
only himself was vile. Green were
the hills and velvet were the valleys.
Myriad colored birds sang their carols
of joy in the leafy trees along the
creeks gentle sloping bank. Heavens
flood gates were not barred so very
tightly and showers were our jay
hawker's frequent portion.
The world was fresh with flowers,
and peace was everywhere. So during
the spring and early summer the jay
hawker toiled and sang. He wonder
ed why his ancestors had been con-
tent to bide their days in the cramDed
hills and dwarfed valleys of Ohio, and
lie wrote back to tell them of the
glorious life in Kansas, of the bud
ding crops, the boundless plains, the
fertile valleys and the incompatible
soil. In fact he lied little. He or
iginated those standard stories used
to Illustrate the rapid growth of the
Il 10 nj Of I, i.
little boy to the top of a corn stalk to
look for the cattle, and that the corn
grew so fast that the boy Couldn't
come down. He told Of feeding the
family COW saw dust one evening, by
mistake, and of her giving down three
bundles of lath, two gallons of tur-
pentine and ten pounds of shingle
nails at the next MORNINGS milking.
He told of last years wheat crop
the fields for the stacked grain and
that tie roads were used to hold the
overflow.
He told of ears Of corn so large that
they must be cut into seven or eight
lengths in order to get them into the
feed box. He told of grains of wheat
SO large that one of them equaled a
loaf of bread and that four of them
just filed the oven nicely. He told
of pumpkins, squashes and melons
that wore themselves out travelling
over the ground, being dragged hith-
er and yon by the vine.
All these things and many more

and summer, his nrst-in Kansas But
in early July change came The
hot and sullen winds came rushing
from the southland and deyoured
every living thing. The hateful
breeze blistered in its intense heat,
rustled through the grasses of the

moaned a mournful requiem over the
grave of Hope. Heaven too, harden

Objections Sometimes Urged Against Sor-
 ghum az Forage Crop.

Effects Upon the Land fh often repeated statement that sorghum is hrtd crop on land ls undoubtedly trlc for many soils. Those poor in pot ash and phosphorlc acid are likely Co suffer more than from wheat and corn. since it uses more of these sub. stances than do those crops. On the other hand, It's deeprOotlng habits enables lt to draw many elements from the subaOll which the shallower roofing plants would not reach, but which they need in their growth. Hence sorghum can be used adyan- tageously In rotation with those crops. Farmers generally maintain that cotton. wheat and other small grain. sweet potatoes. and like crops do well after sorghum. The stnbble Is quite persistent. and when the cane grows large and coarse may interfere somewhat in working the land the next season Flowing deep and thor. oughly as soon as the crop Is har- vested will usually get around this difficulty. In case the cane is sown or drilled thickly little trouble Is ex- perienced as the stubble Is not coarse enough to bother much. lt is always d good plan. however. to blow as soon as the crop Is harvested.
 Injurious Effects Upon Stock.-So g.um Is sometimes objected to as forage on the ground that it produces rough coats of hair on horses and cattle. This is only the case when the sorghum is used as the principal or only feed for long period of time and the difficulty is easily avoided by feeding it in connection with foods rich in albuminoid substances. such as clover. vetches. peas and alfalfa.
 There is considerable prejudice in some sections against second-growth sorghum on account of its reputed in- juriousness to stock. Most or the trouble seems to have arisen from careessness in turning hungry ami mals into the fields and allowing them to gorge themselves. StOckmen agree that the same difficulty is met with in feeding clover or any other succulent forage. and may happen with either first or second or any other growth.
 Professor Connell. in answering an inquiry regarding possible danger in turning cows upon second-growth cane. says: Tn every case coming under my observation death has oc- cured when the cows stomach was maccustomed with such food. A small amount of this crop swallowed quickly into the paunch may produce vast quantity of expansive gas causing death" He then gives his own practice Of allowing the ami mals to run to the cane but short time at first and gradually lengthen- ing the period as they become accus- toned to the food.
