In order that he might fully answer his

He also launched into a defence Of the

MATTERS OF INTEREST TO HOUSE

Valuable suggestions ON the Grow

Broom Corn.
Any good corn or cotton land will
make watermelons and it only de-
ponds upon whether good seeds of d
good variety and also according to
whether the cultivation is good, how
excellent the crop may be. An acre
with a maximum crop of melons on
it is a very pretty sight, and such an
acre should yield very good profit.
The secret of successful melon cul-
ture consists in putting ripe, we'll
grown melons on the market just a
little sooner than anybody else does,
at any rate as soon. Some melons are
earlier than others in ripening. but as
a rule early maturity is the result of
early planting.
The ground should be made ready
several weeks ahead of planting time,
and the seeds should be put in just
as soon as it is safe to plant If put
in too early the seeds will rot and
planting will have to be repeated. This
will cause a loss of time that is I'M
satisfactory
AS to varieties, it is difficult to find
any two better than the Grey" and

Many, perhaps a large majority, still
follow the plan of planting in hills 10

the land and only manuring in the
hill, space by 3 feet or so. This
will do very well on a small area, but
1t is by no means the best way for
anything like an acre. Our own plan
has always given satisfaction. The
land is laid off at the usual distance
OF 10 feet, some fertilizer put into this
furrcw. two more burrows are run on
each side, putting fertilizer in all the
burrows. This gives a bed about feet

me root is natural food for hogs.
ana nature has provided the animal

Breeders and farmers will find the

We agree with the Swine breeder
that the beet is a most excellent food

Broom Corn.

Broom corn is a variety of sorghum
and has many of the qualities of ordi-
nary sorghum. Like SORGHUM in being
hardy, it is a great drought-register
and thrives under reasonably unfavora-
BILE condition, says a bulletin of the
Oklahoma station.
1t can be planted at any time from
the opening of spring until as late as
|ulv l, with fair assurance of a crop.
But as early harvesting and early mar
keting are especially desirable, it is
usually advisable to plant it as early
as Indian corn is planted, or from April
l to Is. If planted. by the middle of
April it will be ready to harvest by
about the first of July. There is usual
ly lull in farm work about this time
that makes it convenient for broom
corn harvest
There are numerous methods of
planting it. 1t is planted in rows.
checked and drilled. Drilling in rows
gives the best results. The rows
should be about three and a half feet
apart and the stalks about six to eight
inches apart in the rows on ordinary
upland, and a little thicker on bot
tom land. If it, is planted too thin
on good soil, the heads become SO
heavy that their own weight bends
many of them down, forming the
crooks" This crooked brush is heavy,
but because it is more difficult to make
into brooms, and makes a larger bulk
in shipping, it brings only about half
price on the market.
Owing to its being a hardy plant the
cultivation of broom corn is often sad
~ neglected. 1t will make fair show
ing on poor land with very little Gull
tivation. 1t responds to good treat
ment and should be cultivated as often
and as thoroughly as Indian corn
After the first heads appear it is not
long before it is ready for harvesting
and everything should be in readiness
because it soon depreciates in value
after it is once ripe enough to cut.
In order to make the best brush it
should be cut when the seeds are in
the dough stage. A small patch for
seed can be left until fully mature
The standard varieties are harvested
by breaking two rows together in such
a manner as to form table unon
which the heads. after being cut off
are laid to cure. ItaShould emain in

entirely in shed. But if put in while
green it must be placed in hin law
ers, which require considerable EXTRA
shed room. If left in the field, how
ever, about/a day after cutting, until
it is nearly cured. it can be piled in
good-sized layers under cover and
seeded when convenient. The seeding
is done by holding the brush on a cyl
inder similar to a threshing machine
cylinder. After it has been seeded
il should be bulked down in rood
sized piles and allowed to dry until
the stems break quite readily. Then

Sorghum u Forage Plant for the
south.

Many of the grasses and clovers
which constitute the mainstev Of agri-
culture in the North and West are
very uncertain in large are IS NJ tie
South. writes Prof. Duggal in Amer
lean Agriculturistn Most r.ominent
among our forage plants adapted 10
every variety of .;outherl soils are
sorghum, cowpeas and Bermuda grass.
Small areas of sorghum are grown in
probably every county in the South,
but there is room for a 40-fold increase
in the acreage. When grown for the
syrup it has the advantage over sugar
cane of affording human food at
much earlier date. st~. fr
When grown as forage it has import
tant advantages over most other plants
useful for the same purpose. For eX-
ample. in yield of green material or
of hay, it exceeds the legumes COM
monty grown, and millets. and usually
stands above corn in this respect.
While corn has some advantage as a
crop for the silo, sorghum has even a
greater advantage over corn as hay
plant, the yield of sorghum being
greater on poor soil, the palatability
greater and the waste in uneaten stems
decidedly less.
BY sorghum as here used we mean
only the sweet varieties. In a num-
Der of experiments made here, amber
and orange varieties of sorghum have
given a larger yield both of green ma
terial and of hay than have any of
the non-saccharine sorghums. In yield
it has in nearly every instance sur
passed pearl millet, which has been
popular with some.
As between all of these plants and
sweet sorghum. the advantage of pal
atabiltY is decidedly with the latter.
Sorghum hay, unless moldy. is highly
relished by all hay eating animals,
but ii must be said that sorghum hay
is very subject to mold and that its
curing in prime condition is often diff
ficult. Our observations indicate that
sorghum hay with age loses in pala-
liability more rapidly than most other
hays. Hence the farmer who has sew
eral classes Of hay should feed the sor-
ghum in the first portion of the feed
ing period.
The maximum value of an acre of
sorghum is obtained by feeding it
green. We have begun cutting sur
ghum for soiling as early as June 10.
In 1901 we fed green sorghum, cut sew
eral times a week until Nov. Is. The
occurrence of a slight freeze then made
it necessary to cut the crop, which
was shocked, and fed from the shock
up to Dec. /, during which time the
stalks retained much of their succu-
lcnce and appetizing qualities.
No fear need be felt that sorghum
fed green will cause severe bloating.
