Recently l noticed that the herd of

Vile. broke into his sorghum patch.
Before discovered they gorged them
selves. and in an hour from the time
they entered the field $500 worth OF

Sorghum cane when wet generally
proves hazardous to cattle. That which
springs up after the crop has been cut
is really poisonous to them.

We are inclined TO the opinion that
the prevalent fear Of injury to fruit
trees from too heavy green manurinG
is exaggerated. We are told that the
stun ferments and sours the soil What
we want is n thorough decomposition
OF the green manure. and this fermen-
tation is the beginning OF the process.
The more violent the fermentation the
sooner is the decomposition completed.
and when completed no harm results.
We have piled green pea vines. weeds
and grass around the trees. with just
enough soil thrown on to keep the
mulch in place. and this has rapidly
decomposed under the influence OF heat
and moisture. and the result was thrift
and heavy crop of sound fruit.-Farm

Preparation For Winter.

Half the success of farming in all lis

out his farm titled and seed ready

warm quarters for his stock can hard
