What Can 30 Used For SiIage:

Corn and COW peas planted together,
sorghum and cow peas, sorghum and
velvet beans, Kafir corn and cow peas.
clovers and sofa beans can all be used
to advantage for making silage, or
corn, sorghum, sofa beans and COW
peas can be used alone and make good
silage, but as a rule, a mixture is pre-
ferred. We have obtained excellent
results from feeding silage made from
corn and COW peas and from sorghum
and cow peas. Some persons seem to
think that silage taints the milk and
butter when fed to dairy COWS, but this
is not generally true, unless there is
something wrong with the silage. If
sorghum is put in the silo when too
young or before the grain is in the
dough, it will undergo a peculiar fer
mentation which will taste the milk,
and the butter made from this milk
will soon develop q rancid taste and
odor. This same silage, however, will
not produce these results If the silage
is fed after instead Of before milking.
According to Henry, there is not much
difference in the feeding value Of corn
and sorghum silage, but silage made
from alfalfa, cow peas, clovers or sofa
beans is higher in ~digestible nutrients
than corn and sorghum silage, while
that made from alfalfa leads in pro-
tein contents. Silage is not only an eX-
cellent food for dairy cows, but is used
in some parts for feeding beef ami
mails, especially in the preliminary
stage Of the feeding period. Thus,

Little Things.

There is talk at Barnegat, N. j., Of
embarking in the silk raising business
on a large scale, the example being set
by John Charlie, a Syrian shoemaker,
who imported silk worm eggs from
his old home. In colonial days there
were efforts to establish silk culture
in New Jersey. Again before the war
there was a silk worm craze over
South Jersey, and sporadic instances
crop out now and then. The Patter-
son silk manufacturers and others in
that business are incredulous over the
subject.

Profitable For Late Planting.

The tendency of all forage plants
sown SO late in the season is to run
to seed development more than they
would If planted in the spring. But
milo maize and sorghum and rice are
profitable for late planting. There is
an art in cutting them at just the right
stage. If cut too green there Is no
grain to speak of, it dries to shells. If
cut too ripe there is grain in plenty,
and If 1t were threshed out and ground
it would more than compensate for the
loss Of nutritive matter in the straw.
But this is never done, and the grain
Of these cereals is so small and hard as
to escape mastication. Therefore it
does not compensate for the loss which
occurs in the straw. If cut just right,
which is in the dough" stage, the
grain remains soft enough to be ground
by the stock and the straw is as good
as hay. The perfect balance is OBJ
served.

How Early Does the Pecan Rear,

Apropos Of the statement that an
orchard OF pecans will begin to bear
in six years Farm and Ranch has
said: This has not been our expert
ence. From infancy to the present day
the writer has been familiar with the
pecan, both wild and cultivated, and
has been led thereby to believe that
pecan trees will begin to bear at about
ten years, and at the age of fifteen
years will not bear in any case to ex.
coed n bushel, and to produce ten
bushels the tree must be about twenty
eight inches through, with a spread
Of fully forty feet, and be from fifty
to 100 years old. And yet a pecan
orchard is a very profitable possession,
but those who expect a fortune annu-
ally from trees ten years old will be
disappointed.

SMeet Potato Bug.

In connection with the propagation OF
sweet potatoes in South Louisiana a
most destructive insect has made its
appearance. 1t is an introduced spe-
cies, coming to us from more southern
countries, in seed potatoes. 1t is here
to stay, and while little can be done to
check its ravages in the sections of the
State it now s~nfests, the greatest care
should be exercised in preventing its
spread. From a study Of its habits
1t is not a form that flies, and is only
transferred from place to place In the
seed (roots) Of this plant. Those inter-
ested in sweet potato culture in Louis
lana and there seems to be a great
future for the grass growing and large
yielding varieties as food for stock,
should use every means to prevent the
introduction Of infested seed upon their
places. The seed Of all tenants should
be purchased or ordered by responsible
persons and those thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the danger Of insect infec-
ton.

The Chinese Language
in Commerce
" Charles Heuer, Consular Agent at Gera.

BY Charles Heuer, Consular Agent at Gefa.
@@@,@a HILE China is considered the land Of promise for or manu-
g~vg facturers and farmers, the importance of the knowledge OF
Wy VNW the Chinese language is greatly under valued. L submit tint
@ w @ details of a recent interview with a nnguit who has given
@a@0ES@aS special attention to this subject. 1t Is well understood ht III
order to enteri into permanent commercial relations with a foreign coun'
try it is indispensable to know its language. When Russian industries be-
gar 70 deyebp. the Germans recognized that in order to engage in profitable
trade in that country it wa necessary to learn Russian, me there Is i"
10 country where the Russian language is 10 much taught as IN germany.
The Chinese language is Geographic. 1t conveys the idea and not the
word for a thing, as the figure 49, represents the idea and lot TIT WORD.
rho Chinese baye invented more than 10000 marks for their writing. In
the opinion Of my informant, it will require only about 1000 marks fr mr-
camille correspondence, and it will b easier to lear hem nan INT "ous
of an ordinary foreign language. Russian is more difficult or Americans
than Chinese. 1t takes much longer to learn the spoken language because
of h. variety of dialects; but any n cal learn enough of tn writings to
answer ordinary purposes in a few months. and have his knowledge per-
fected by a linguist within about a year. An exact instruction IN VI Oh
Tho Chinese languages can be given only by a Chinaman. This method
has been adopted in Germany. Besides the professor fol III tneory OF

Improved Land With Sweet Glover.

AeAN .
AS a plant for green manuring Pro-
fessor S. NJ. Tracey, formerly Of the
Mississippi Experiment Station, says Of
it in Farmers Bulletin IS Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture: "As
n restorative crop for yellow loan and
white lime lands this plant has no SUI
perior, and for black prairie soils it
has nc equal. The roots are very long,
penetrating the soil to a depth Of three
Or four feet; are quite large, and by
their decay at the end of the second
year leave the soil with innumerable
minute holes which act as drains and
loosen the soil, so that the roots OF
other crops can go deeper and find
abundant supplies Of food and bear
drouth better"
The appearance Of sweet clover is a
signal that the soil is out Of condition.
Its mission seems to be to occupy the
waste places and neglected spots Of the
earth and to prepare them for the
growth of other plants.

REASON ron THE RULES.

The half humorous. half caustiC
speech which Representative Cushmar
of Washington. delivered in this
House on Thursday. during the debate
on the Cuban relief bill, in which ne
attacked the speaker and the rules
of the House, attracted the attention
of the entire country. 1t was the sort
of a speech people like to read, be-
cause it was intensely entertaining.
AS an orator Mr.. Cushman added
greatly to his reputation.
But he has not convinced the House
that the speaker is a tyrant or that
the rules are not just what the best
interests of the country demand. 1t
is true he called the speakers room
the jobbing department of the govern
ment and the House calendar the
cemetery of legislative hopes. but the
rules are not for the purpose of Civ
ing to members an opportunity for
making regulations with their con-
stituents for getting such legislation
as they want and for making spread
eagle speeches, but to get such laws
enacted as the country needs.
If the speaker had only such power
as Mr.. Cushman seems to think he
ought to have and if the rules were
as liberal as he would like to have
them the House would never be able
to transact any business. There
would be confusion. and, in fact
chaos. 1t must not be forgotten that
the number of members is very large
and that about every member has one
or more bills in which he is interest
ed. In dealing with such large body
of able and determined men it is nee
essary that the rules shall be of the
strictest kind and that the speakers
power shall be almost unlimited. 9th
erwise nothing could be accomplished.
The rules were not made in a day.
They are the result of many years of
experience. They are the work of the
ablest of our parliamentarians. When
Reed was speaker he was criticised
and condemned. He was called the
Car, and his rules were declared to
be the most tyrannical ever inforced
in a parliamentary body. but when
the opposition came into power the
Reed rules We're retained.
1t is true the rules of the House give
unknown men but little chance to get
to the front and the speaker has the
ture, but it is probable that for the
transaction of business they are the
very best that could be made.

PWOTECT THE BTRDs.

The greatly diminished number of
mockingbirds and other feathered
songsters in this section of the coun-
try has been frequently remarked and
commented upon. Various reasons for
their disappearance have been adj
vanced. The main one probably is
that they have enjoyed no protection.
All seasons have been open" so far
as they were concerned. They have
been the prey of every person and thing
that chose to worry. capture or kill
time. Nests have been wantonly
robbed of eggs or young birds, and the
parent birds in many instances have
been killed for protesting against the
robbery. The sweetest and most YER
satile songster of all the feathered
tribes is the mockingbird of the South.
An appreciation of glorious melody
should cause us to give this bird all
of the protection in the power of the
law, making all seasons closed with
respect to it, instead of open
The mockingbird, however, has not
been alone in it's lack of protection
All of the non-game birds have been
in the same category with 1t, and like
1t all of them have suffered severely.
There are certain species, of course,
like the English sparrow and the rice
eaters, that deserve to be outlawed:
but by far the greater number of nom
game birds, so far from being destruc-
tive, are the friends of man and de-
serve his consideration and care. And
yet up to last year there were only
five states in the union that had laws
They were Indiana, Vermont, Arkan-
sas, Illinois and Rhode Island. Last
year ten states passed similar laws,
namely, Maine. New Hampshire, Mas
sachusetts, Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Delaware, Florida, Wis
consin and Wyoming. Congress also
passed law applying to the District
OF Columbia covering the matter
The value of birds about fruit or
chards and vineyards cannot be over
estimated. They destroy bugs and 9TH
er insects as no other agency can, be-
sides enlivening the scene with their
presence and songs. Georgia as the
leading fruit state of the South should
take first place in the protection of her
birds. Instead of permitting them to
be killed off, she might do we'll to
provide for a greater propa cation of
them An aviary at the Experiment
Station would not be a bad idea.
There has been much slaughter of
seacoast birds, from North Carolina to
Florida, during recent years for mill
lnery purposes. In many instances
only the scalps or the breasts of the
birds were wanted, and tens of thou
sands of herons, gulls and other hand
some wild birds and fowls have been
sacrificed to furnish the trimmings of
hats. The laws adopted in the ten
/ states named above are designed to
put a stop to this slaughter, some of
them going so far as to prohibit the
offering for sale any piece of millinery
decorated with the plumage of a wild
bird.
