TWO EXCELLENT CROPS.
Sweet Corn and Eodder ~ Well ~
Sorghum Relished by Hogs and
MIX COwS,

There are two crops that can be
grown by the farmer in almost any
part of the corn and hog belt that are
especially adapted for hogs and COWS.
One of these is sweet corn, and the
other is sorghum. The former can be
cultivated about as cheaply as field
corn, but will mature much earlier and
comes in at time when the grain is
scarcest and most needed. 1t is an
ideal feed for young stuff. especially
for pigs. It gives them start so that
they are in good condition for field corn
later on.
I wish to impress upon your readers
the advantages of sorghum. 1t is
plant of vigorous growth and stands
drought remarkably we'll. 1t is heavy
yielder. 1t will make as much succu-
lent food per acre as any feed that
can be produced. In planting this crop
do not get it too thick for hogs, as the
larger the stalk the more sap and
the more seed it will produce. found
out by experience that hogs do not
care for small stalks, though they are
better for cattle. I will plant three
feet six inches by three feet and not
700 Hiuci III q Hill. St) DIS W Sct as large
a growth as possible to the stalk and
seed. Although last season was
very dry one, I got from four to five
tons per acre.
To the beginner I would say start
with an acre, and see how much feed of
that kind you will need. For an ordi-
nary farmer with ten brood sows. some
growing shotes, an acre will be enough
and you will have some besides for
cattle. Five pounds of seed will be
required to plant an acre. Sorghum
gives the hogs thrifty and growthy
look and condition. Their hair is as
smooth as if they had been groomed.
also feed the crop cured. To cure
the crop I had large shed 60 feet in
length, in which I hauled and leaned
up around the walls till it was cured
and then stored in one end. The en-
envy of the seed is mice. chickens and
English sparrows. If you can keep
them off, you are all right. There is no
waste in sorghum fodder, as the horses
and cattle will eat every vestige of it,
and you can't tell where you fed them
last. Cows will leave good corn fodder
to eat sorghum.-G. D. Work, in Ne
braska Farmer.

OWNERSHIP or ROADS.
Until It IN Settled by Law Universa1
Improvement Will Remain an
Idle Dream.

At meeting of the highway alliance
in New York state recently, the follow
ing questions were considered: 1)
"Some would have the state take con-
troll of all the highways" (2) "Others
would have the state control the roads
which it has improved and improve the
most important roads; the county
such roads as are market roads and i'm
portant local highways; the town the
balance of the roads," (3) "Many
think the county should control the
roads," It seems odd, considering our
boasted enlightenment at this stage
of civilization, that such important
questions should remain unsettled. For
a hundred years the farmers of this
country have worked out their road
tax by meeting in gangs along their
respective highways under the super~
vision of local pathmasters. The work
on such occasions consists in telling
stories and lounging in the shade. To
vary the monotony, however, they oc-
casionally plow certain portions of
the roadway and dump scraper loads
of muck, sod and stones in heaps here
and there without any evident purpose.
The recent movement for better roads
has met with a great deal of opposition
from farmers who wish, for some un-
accountable reason, to continue this
ancient practice. Where better roads
are built through the working of the
new good roads laws this same class
of farmers are trying to destroy them.
They insist on their right to drive
heavy loads over these expensive roads
with wagons having knife-edge tires,
and they object to proper mainten-
ance. In certain districts the idea
seems to prevail that an expensive
roadway should be allowed to take
care of itself. These things will prob
ably adjust themselves in time, but
the mills of eternity grind slowly.
There are roads in New York state
that cost from $4,000 to $4,000 per mile
that are being ruined for lack of SEN
sible< care. The highway alliance has
done great deal to bring this question
forcibly before the people, but
through the ignorance of some, the
fierce opposition of others and the in
difference of the masses, reforms are
a long. long time on the way.-Agri'
cultural Epitomist.

TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

Salt should be always accessible.
Clean and thoroughly air stable be-
fore milking.
Never mix fresh warm milk with
that which has been cooled.
Do not allow dogs, cats or loafers
to be around at milking time.
llpersons who milk the cows should
have the finger nails cut closely.
Keep the stable and dairyroom in
good condition, fresh air and clean.
Milk with dry hands. Never allow
the hands to come in contact with the
milk.
Use no dry. dusty feed just previous
to milking; if fodder is dusty sprinkle
it before it is fed.
Observe and enforce the uttermost
cleanliness about the cattle, their at
tendants, the stable, the dairy and al:
utensils.-G. H. Sammis, in Epitomist.

Exuort Of Summer Aunles.

Some weeks ago we published an

able at that time if they would ar
rive at their destination in a condi-
ton to warrant their sale, as the
steamers on which they went were
not provided with refrigerating
plants. One lot arrived on the
Oceanic and sold on the dock at $3.s7
Der barrel. The other lot was ship
ped to Glasgow by the Columbia It
sold for price that netted the ship
pers $3.7s per barrel in New York.
This means that the trade in summer
apples is to be a good one and very
profitable to American growers, who
generally find it easier to raise sum-
mer apples than any other.

To Relieve4a Choked Cow.

A neighbor turned his cattle into an
orchard with fallen apples - a bad
place for cows. One COW became badly
choked with an apple. A neighbor hap
pened to have piece of rubber hose,
about three feet long, rather stiff. We
creased this with lard, held the cows
head up, ana showed the hose down
her throat, pushing the apple down
into the stomach. A piece Of rubber
hose is just the thing for this purpose
being flexible and soft, yet stiff
enough for the purpose. Hogs are
better for the orchard than cows. A
little caution saves trouble and .ex-
