BROOM CORN.
A Cash Crop-PrOftab1e on a Small
Scale For the Average Farmer.

A Cash Crop-PrOftabIe on a Small
Scale For the Average Farmer.
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 resister
and thrives under reasonably unfavor-
able conditions.
1t can be planted at any time from
the opening of spring until as late as
July 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
1 to Is. If planted by the middle of
April, it will be ready to harvest by
about the LIST of July. There is usual
" lull in teamwork about this time
that makes it convenient for broom
corn harvest.
Broom corn is a leash crop" and,
like other cash crops. has its favora-
BILE and unfavorable features. It's Gull
tivation on a very large scale is sell
dom successful; but, if properly han
died on a small scale, say from fifteen
to twenty-five acres for the average
farmer and especially on new land
where the variety of sure crops is linn
tied, it will prove to be as paying al
most as any crop that can be raised.
The yield varies, of course, with the
soil and locality, but a good average
yield is a ton of thrashed brush from
three to five acres. An experienced
hand can cut about an acre a day.
The thrashing and bailing cost about
$4 per ton. The price varies so much
that the profits for one year can sell
dom be assumed as a standard. Ordi-
nary brush one year with another av-
erages about $50 or SO per ton.
1t is a good crop on the sod. 1t
shades the ground and helps to rot the
sod, besides making as good growth as
Kaffir or sorghum without cultivation.
The seed and the stalks are utilized
for feed, but their feeding value is
low, and it would hardly pay to raise
it for feed alone, although in the west

Alfalfa is not good crop for any
kind of orchard in any part of the
country, says Rural New Yorker
writer. l have never heard any one
speak favorably of it who had tried it
in his orchard. 1t seems to sap the
ground of moisture and is very difficult
to kill out. Oats or rye or a mixture of
both would be far better if sown early
in the fall, so they would grow up be-
fore cold weather. This crop will keep
the loose soil and snow from blowing,
although the oats will be killed by Sc
we're freezing. The rye will need to be
plOwed under early in spring, so that
it may not grow and injure the trees
by taking up the moisture. Hogs are
good to run in an orchard, especially
if there is a crop of clover on the
ground. Peaches are not suitable to
the climate of South Dakota, and !
would not advise trying them there.

BALLROOM in GERMAN EMBASSY, WASHINGTON.

it's day as celebrated as the Schley
case, and the interest in it was deep
and widespread. General Porter was
dismissed from the army January %,
1868, land forever disqualified from
holding any office of trust or profit
under the government of the United
States Finally, when passion had
subsidized, it became clear that great
injustice had been done to F'itz John
Porter. After 10 years of agitation,
President Hays RENTED the penalty
as to disqualification of office, but
General Porter fought sturdily for
complete and unqualified vindication.
Eventually, Cleveland signed the bill
for his relief, and in 1886 he was re-
stored to the army and completely
indicated.
President Cleveland acted largely
upon the recommendation of Gen. U.
S. Grant, whose part in the case eX-
hibits a fine trait in his character.
He had been at one time strongly
| opposed to a re-opening of the case,
| but when new evidence became avail
/ able, through the publication of con-
federate reports, he became con-
WINGED that great wrong had been
done and frankly said so.
General Porter died last year. His

MUTILATED MONEY.
Singular Cases That Come Before the
Experts of the Treasury.

The regulations of the treasury de-
partment require that at least three
fifths of bill shall be recovered be-
fore the government will pay for the
mutilated bill.
Each mutilated bill is carefully
pasted on a backing of papeNthe size
of the complete bill. The expert has
a piece of glass the exact size of the
bill. This glass is divided into 40
squares. When placed over the bill,
if the expert can find that the rem
nants of the bill fill "a of the squares,
or three-fifths of all of them, the bill
will be redeemed.
A case within the last three weeks
came from a farmer of st. Clair
county, Mo-, who, while STOPPING over
to feed his hogs, dropped his purse
inside the pens. An hour later, when
he missed the purse, he found the

nothing of it's contents. There was

with the idea that the original pack

During the passage of the money
through the mails, the heavy silver
was shaken through the charred bills

Temperature In Curing Cheese.


The results of experiments at the
New York state station show very con-
clusively that low temperatures for
curing give a much better and more
uniform cheese. In 1899 four curing
rooms were used, with temperatures of
30, 60, Go and 20 degrees, respectively.
The rooms were arranged so that the
temperatures could be kept uniform au-
tomatically, while cloths kept continu-
Ously wet were suspended in the rooms,
$50 that the percentage of moisture
would remain fairly constant. Without
exception the cheeses cured at the low
err temperatures scored highest, there
being a difference between the avers sc
of the cheeses cured at 60 degrees and
below and Go degrees and above of five
points in flavor and two and a halt
points in texture. These experiments
We're repeated in 1900 with practically
the same results.

BOnemeal,

Bonemeal contains phosphate of lime
and animal matter rich in nitrogen
and hence is very valuable for ma
nure where we desire a prolonged in,
fiuence. 1t is well adapted to grass
lands and lawns and is free from the
bad odor often given off by mixed fer
tilizers. Moist meadows are benefited
by dressing of bonemeal. If the
bones that now adorn the back yard
and pasture lot should be ground into
powder and scattered on a crop worn
field, the results would surprise some
farmers.

The subject of honey making has d
certain fascination for the uninitiated,
and in the purity of the article every
consumer is concerned. The hive, the
section and the extractor represent
stages of its manufacture and presen-

formation on this topic by Messrs.
York, Miller and Dadant, we'll known
bee men, as it occurs in the American
Bee Journal, some points of interest
are reproduced:
Honey is found upon the market in
two forms, liquid and in the comb. The
liquid is obtained by throwing it out of
the comb by means of centrifugal
