TWO EXCELLENT CROPS.
Sweet Corn and Fodder ms Well as
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, anC the
other is sorghum. The former can be
cultivated about as cheaply as field
corn, but will mature much earlier and
comes in at a time when the grain is
scarcest and most needed. 1t is an
ideal feed for young stuff, especially
for pigs. 1t gives them a start so that
they are in good condition for field corn
later on,
l wish to impress upon your readers
the advantages of sorghum. 1t is a
plant of vigorous growth and stands
drought remarkably well. 1t is a heavy
yielder. 1t will make as much succu-
lent food per acre as any feed that
a 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. 1 will plantNthree
feet six inches by three feet and not
too much in a hill, so as to get as large
a growth as possible to the stalk and
seed. Although last season was a
very dry one, l 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 a thrifty and growthy
look and condition. Their hair is as
smooth as if they had been groomed.
I also feed the crop cured. To cure
the crop I had a 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 nc
waste in sorghum fodder, as the horses
and cattle will eat every vestige of it.
and you can't tell where you fed then
last. Cows will leave good corn fodder
to eat sorghum.-G. D. Work. in Ne
braska Farmer.

Beans I'm United states.

Important as are beans, as an ar.
ticle of diet, they play but a small
part in the crop totals Of the coun-
try. 1t is certain, however, that the
census bureau fails to get reports of
millions of bushels of beans raised
and consumed on the farms. These
are never recorded as entering into
commerce. On many farms the farm
ers raise only enough beans for home
use. The last census report gives
the crop of 1899. 1t shows Michigan

Hand separators Multiplying.

The number Of hand separators on
farms is increasing both in this coun-
try and in Europe. There is a con
slant conflict Of opinion between those
in favor Of the hand separator and
those in favor Of milk delivered whole
to the central creamery. Each method
has an advantage. With men owning
but few cows the hand separator will
never be- popular, as il represents a
considerable Investment and requires
skilled care. The man that has o
goodly number Of cows finds the sep.
arator a good Investment. So we may
expect to see the two systems exist
side by side. The hand separator Il
certainly preferable from a sanitary
standpoint, except where the large
creamery sterilized all skim milk.

OLD STYLE MILLERS BEST.
Like This One in the Hoosier State,
Who Has Been Grinding Meal
for Forty Years.

Mack Linchlcum, the gr1Stmlll man,
nine miles southwest Of Nashville, de-
clares that this has been the most
prosperous year he ever enjoyed, for
Providence has sent rains in greater
abundance than ever before in his
memory and his mill has sheen running
every day since the spring thaw, and
many times late into the night, says
the New York Sun.
The miller is now IS years old, and
his mill has been in operation for As
years. 1t is the only overshot water
mill in the state, but apparently pos
sesses as much energy as it ever did,
and certainly is in as great favor with
that class who love an old-fashioned
corn ''pone" as it was when first estab-
lished. Notwithstanding the age of
the miller, he is daily at his work, and
says that he has not lost an hour from
business, except on Sunday and at
night, since early in March.
The mill house is built of logs and
covered with boards riven from native
oak. Everything about it, except the
burrs, are wood. The wheel is put to-
gether with wooden pins, after the
style of so years ago, when nails were
scarce. The power ONE from two
large springs.
Patrons of the mill come 20 miles to
get some of Uncle Mack's cornmeai
and frequently four counties are rep
resented in the people who stand
around the mill waiting for their grist.
Housewives in Breene, Brown, Mon
roe, Morgan, Owen and Lawrence coun-
ties are proud of the pones that are
made from Uncle Mack's meal, and SO
is he.
"The reason why I ] have all I can dc
at my MILL" he said a few days ago
sis because you can't make a good
corn bread out of steam mill meal
The stones turn too fast to make good
meal, for they get heated and the
meal is doughty before it leaves the
mill. The heat generates moisture in
grinding and the bread is sure to be
soggy. Then, too, they grind too fine
and the dough packs in baking, ne
matter how many eggs and how mucl
soda and milk you put in it. The
burrs in this mill never overwork them
selves, for nature does her worl
steady.

thought he'd fool his wife and take
her some steam mill meal. He wen

HOW TO CONQUER
THE Jul ~
BY ERNST J. LEDERLE,
President Of the Dept. Of Health, New York,

into its stomach by biting a person already infected. Eight days after
a mosquito absorbs the germs it becomes capable OF injecting by its
bite persons previously healthy.
Since malaral mosquitoes as a rule bite only at night, one will
usually be safe by protecting his bedroom, either with screens at the
windows or by carefully arranging a mosquito bar over the bed.
Ali cases OF malaria developed should be isolated under mosquito
netting until pronounced cured by a competent physician. Otherwise
the Anopheles, biting persons affected, may fly out of doors again
and carry the injection in all directions. Epidemics in our suburbs
often begin in this way.
THE MOST IMPORTANT MEASURE is TO PREVENT
THE BREEDING OF MOSQUITOES IN ONES NEIGHBOR-
HOOD. All mosquitoes, the COMMON household pests as well as
the malarial, require standing water to lay their eggs in. They will
ly in water barrels, pans, tin cans, wells, springs, rain pools, cess
pools. pots, kettles, ponds. Running streams are not apt to support
their young unless the current is sluggish. Except when the margin
IS covered with grass, large bodies Of water are kept clear by the
small fish. Grass, slime or leaves prevent the fish from getting at
the mosquito larvae, which are cunningly hidden.
When drainage is not possible, the surface Of the water should
be covered with kerosene oil. One ounce of oil to fifteen square feet
Of water is enough. 1t must be renewed each week during the NOS
quito season.
Mosquitoes do not fly far from their breeding places. If the
householders in a given region would attempt to wipe them out the
results would be surprising.
MOSQUITOES are not only bothersome. THEY ARE DANGER,
Gus. IT IS THE DUTY OF H PEOPLE TO EXTERNAL
NATE THEM

LAUNDERING COU
The Obliging Young Man Had Hair
on His Hen and Could Spare
His Hat.

Excessive kindliness of heart, when al
lied to a laundering courtesy, is occasionally
productive of an amusing incident. Of such
is the following: A president in recent
times OF one of our royal colleges was noted
for the possession of a trim little yacht,
which he was fond of sailing in one of the
reaches of lie River Thames, says the Can
did Friend. One day the president had the
misfortune to capsize his craft, with the
consequent result of complete immersion.
He was immediately assisted ashore and
a change of clothing providedat an adjacent
boathouse. This, however, did not include
a hat of any description. The president,
who is an old man and correspondingly bald,
stood shivering, his scant hair uncomforta-
bly, stirred by the breeze. His plight was
observed with respectful compassion by one
of the students of the college who had wit
messed the catastrophe, and offered his own
headgear. The president, however, seemed
reluctant to accept it, saying: "If | take
yours, what will you do?" con, sir" said
the student, cit doesn't matter for me. I've
got hair on my head" This statement was
accepted as final by the president, together
with the cap, and ne laughed heartily al
what, after all, was not wholly a one+sided
joke, for the CONSERVATION of the stu3sat
may be better imagined than described.

touched the coast of Newfoundland and then sailed into the Gulf of St.
Lawrence which he named during his second voyage in the following year.
He took possession of the Gaspe coast in the nan of the sovereign of
France, and erected en- it a cross rs a sign of French sovereignty. He won
the good will of the Indians by his kindness and took two of them back to

The fish and game laws are receiv-
ing much attention in the Legislature
The bill of Mr.. Porter Of Wilmington,
changing the open season on trout, is
a movement in the right direction, but
does not go far enough. If the open
season began April 1st, with a proviso
that trout should not be taken by fish
ing through the ice, men would begin
fishing whenever the warm, pleasant
days come and the general rush to the
streams on May 1st would be avoided.
There would be less fishing in May
than now, and the brooks would not
be stripped so completely as under the
present law. The season ought to
end August 1st. During a drouth in
August the brooks get very low, the
fish in small streams run entirely into
few holes and are easily caught, II
not by hook and line by some other
methods which do not require the
brain of an inventive genius to put
them in operation.
