LETTUCE STOPS SMALLPOX
said Co be an Absolute Preventive Of
the Disease.

Said to be an Abxolute Preventive of
the Disease.
Lettuce is an absolute preventive Of
smallpox. No one is in the least par
ticle Of danger of catching smallpox
who eats q little lettuce every day.
Smallpox belongs to the scOrbutic
class of diseases. Sailors ut sea de-
prived Of fresh vegetables get scurvy.
Scurvy Is typical scorbutic disease.
Smallpox Is another. Smallpox al
ways RACES during the winter season
when the poor people are deprived OF
fresh vegetable foods. Celery and
onions are good for this purpose, but
there Is such long interval between
their being gathered and being eaten
that they lose ost OF their anti-scor-
butte properties.
Lettuce IL served shortly after 1t Is
picked and hence contains the valua-
BILE properties which will prevent
smallpox. We say without the least
hesitation or reserve that lettuce will
prevent smallpox. 1t IL a thousand
times better than vaccination. 1t has
no liabilities. like vaccination, to pro.
duce other diseases. We are willing
to stake our professional reputation on
the broad statement that any one who
eats lettuce daily will not catch small
pox, whether he Is vaccinated or not.

Plant Sorghum.

The News and Herald desires again
To call attention to the value of sor-
ghum as II forage crop, and to urge
that IL be not neglected. From u. 3.
Department Of Agriculture, Bulletin
No. 80. we extract the follC wing in
formation and hope 1t may be- Of in
terest not only to farmers but to all
who have stock to feed:
"The best variety Is the Early Am
ber. Like corn, it does best OH rich
sandy loans, but being a stronger
feeder than corn gives better results on
their lands. Generally speaking the
preparation Of the soil should he about
that for corn and cotton, Well rotted
barnyard manure is perhaps the best
fertilizer. If commercial goods are
used those containing potash, phos-
phOric acid, and nitrogen may also be
used, though as rule little Of the
last substance will be neces 'ary. The
practice of using $50 to 200 pounds of
cotton seed meal obtains in some
sections with paying results.
",rhe best time for planting Is about
the middle Of April. Perhaps the
best forage II obtained by sowing
broadcast or with q press drill. but
where land Is scarce and may be cul-
tivated, drilling the seed I'm rows far
enough apart for occasional stirring
with the plOw, gives fine results.
Some farmers report good results by
sowing broadcast on unprepared land
and plOwiug 1t under, while others
condemn this method of seeding. BY
mixing corn, millet, peas or beans
with sorghum better and more even
ly balanced ration will be prodoced.
Moreover, the beginners will do much
TO replace whatever nitrogen the sor-
ghum may take from the soil.
1.-The amount Of forage which may
be obtained from sorghum varies ac-
cording to conditions Of seasons and
land and cultivation from 3 TO l5 tons
per acre. AS general rule, except In
the best Of cOrn-growing States, sOr-
ghum affords at teast one-third more
forage than corn under similar con-
iitiOns, at about the same cost and
many be fed with much less waste.
"The writer planted about an acre
last year on poor soil In drills. using
about 200 pounds Of cotton fertilizer.
The seeding was done early In April
and when the plants were tall enough
the patch was hoed and one furrOw
given with the sweep. Cutting COM
menced about the tenth Of June, and
a horse and COW were fed, almost ex-
clusively, from the patch until the
last of January. Before frost the sec
Ond growth was ready to cut. This
was done, and after allowing the canes
to lie day and night on the ground
they were carried TO the barn and
stacked on end where they cured beau
tifully. The sorghum was cut In
pieces about an inch and half long
and feed literally to the stock who eat
it with much relish. The horse fat
tened and the flow of milk, which
Is unusually rich and sweet, gradually
increased to nearly double the quanti-
ty gotten before sorghum was fed"
II our readers have never tried sor-
ghum for forage We recommend them
TO try it, with prediction that its use
once begun will not soon be aban-
doned.
