Cultivating Sorghum Seed.

Sorghum seed should be sown early
in the spring. 1t is better to plow the
land in the fall and have it in good
condition for spring planting. The
vegetation plowed under will assist in
holding moisture for some time and
give the young plants a better start.
If sown for forage and permanent pas
ture it is well to use from one to two
bushels Of seed per acre. Some SOW
broadcast. The press drill is best and
will insure a more perfect stand of the
plants. If peas are sown at the same
time. about one bushel of each seed
mixed will make q most perfect blend,
and insure a good crop having both the
fattening and matchmaking elements
Some plant corn, beans or millet with
the sorghum so that the plants will
stand about equal.

A Very Desirable Horse Stall.

OF the many form Of horse stalls,
the one shown in the illustration has
perhaps the most good points. All
stall floors should be laid lensthwise
of the stall. Tie boards should rX-
tend the full length of the stall. When
badly worn they can be changed emu
for end and if turned yer much extra
wear is obtained. Soft wood. like pine
or even elm, is superior to oak. There
is less danger Of the horse slipping
when he gets up.
The most important part of the stall
is the hay rack and manSer. When
the hay is thrown into a deep manger
where the horse has free access to the
entire quantity. he losses and mikes
it over many times 10 select the most
desirable portions. Often q large STARE
of it is thrown from the manger to the
floor. In the illustration the manager,
b, is only IA inches wide at the bot
TOM, and l foot high. 1t is made from
Pinch oak plank, with a strip OF we'll
worn wagon tire nailed OH the upper
edge.

Ne Needed no Introduction.

An amusing story comes from Paris
of the device adopted by a prominent
clubman Of wealth and position to
form the acquaintance of a lady we'll
known for her beauty in social and
theatrical circles. The lady was
lunching in a fashionable restaurant
In the Bots de Boulogne, accompanied
by her equally ~well-known poodle,
says the London Globe. The dog was
running from table to table, pick
ing up pieces and collecting morsals
from other diners, and presently,
when it returned to it's mistress, she
was astonished to see written on its
back in red chalk. Tell your mistress
that she is simply adorable and love
her exceedingly" The gentleman
signed his name. After this q formal
introduction was no longer necessary.
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1902-10-23

The hay rack at a is outside the
stall. 1t should be two and a half to
three feet wide and eighteen inches
deep. If fodder is fed from above, the
chute should extend up to the floor.
The wooden gratings are at least eight
inches apart so that the horse may
easily pass in his head up to the eyes
if need be, but by making the bottom
of the rack pitch at q sharp angle
toward the .manger all litter, seeds,
etc, will fall into the manger. In this
form of rack the horse grasps a mouth
full Of hay, pulls it from the rack and
holds It over the manager while eating.
1t is plain that all loose particles fall
into the manger and are eaten at
leisure. The uneaten portion in rack
Is not mussed over. The feed box at
a is made in usual manner If horses
are in the habit Of throwing out the
grain, nail a strip over the edge Of the
box. letting project inward about one
inch. BY the use Of a door at c the
grain is fed without entering the stall.
The form Of stall division is import
ant and the one shown is o h. The
shoulder at c (too low in ~engraving)
Is very convenient to hang a blanket
on or to temporarily lay the brush or
currycomb on or even parts Of harness.
For easy cleaning Of stable the floor
boards in rear Of stall should run in
the direction shown at f, as the sweep
ings are usually disposed Of at n
end Of stable, and are more readily
pushed lengthwise instead Of cross
wise of a board foor.-L. D. Shook. of
