Broom Corn.

Broom corn belongs to the grass
family and to the same species as do
common sorghum and Kafiir corn and
Jerusalem corn, grown for forage and
for grain. 1t differs from all other
plants Of the same species in having
panicles or seed heads with much
longer, straighter and stronger
branches or straws. This difference.
wherein lies the value of the plant,
has been produced by the selection of
seed from plants possessing these
characteristics to great degree. 1t
Is for the seed heads. which are used
in the manufacture of brooms, that the
plants cultivated.
Relative to broom corn, bulletin of
the department of agriculture says:
Broom corn is divided into two groups,
known as standard and dwarf. The
standard type grows to a height of 10
to Is feet and produces brush from IS
to % inches long. The brush of this
type is used in making medium-sized
and large-sized brooms, such as are
known as carpet brooms and ware.
house and stable brooms. Dwarf broom
corn grows from four to six feet high.
has large amount of foliage and pro.
duces q fine brush from 10 to Ia
inches or more in length. IN making
large brooms dwarf broom corn IS not
as good as standard, because the
straws are weaker and less elastic. On
the other hand, dwarf broom corn is
far superior to the other for making
small hearth brooms, whisk brooms
and the like. 1t is a mistake too often
made for growers of dwarf broom corn
to attempt to compete with growers Of
standard in length Of brush. Dwarf
broom corn. we'll suited to the making
lof.fne clothes brooms, commands the
highest price on the market. For this
purpose straw should be fine, straight,
tough, elastic, Of a uniform green
color without red tints. and from 10 to
II inches long. With the dwarf form
kthehead does not grow out free from
the sheath Of the upper Ieaf. but lis in

corn are not thus closed, and this
difference, together with the difference
in height Of the two types, has led "a

CHAPTER XII,

Resting his two arms against the
trunk of great tree, he laid his face
upon them, shutting out the beautiful
garden-scene, in which the maiden was
not. and there he rested long in ex-
ceeding bitterness Of spirit Suddenly
there was sound of wings, and again
the bird which he could recognize by
its broken and injured plumage flew
down, and lowering above him a mo-
ment, as if:in doubt, came and nestled
on his shoulder.
Adina took it softly in his hands.
and turned his sad eyes silently toward
the house where he lived alone. Even
yet he had not the courage to go to
Jephthah, but put it off until the NOR
row. AS he walked along. ever smooth
ing the birds feathers with caressing
touches. he suddenly became aware OF
something smooth and hard fastened
beneath its wing. Instantly the thought
occurred to him that it might be a mes
sage from Namarah; but how, indeed
could it be SO? Breathless with eager
ness, he reached his chamber, and

z. c,uItixation 81 soll..

Cultivation is probably the most i'm.
portant feature. connected with the
handling OF soils. Nature Has placed
large quantities Of. plant food N our.
soils, and it.depends upon our skull
|, and knowledge how far, we can make
zee s ssa Ee5h thls %3ns tgr tas
vital, and the subject is, 80 vide that
one scarcely. knows where 70 begin
For spring ,grains.I try IS plow In the
fall. When the burrows are well and
evenly set UP and are frozen, and
when the frost comes put. fertilization
takes place and the soil is left tn =
fine, granulous condition. Plant food
ls liberated and; 4 warm seed bed is
&. formed. When blowing, for spring
grain is left, until the spring, our
teams are blowing when they should
be, surface cultivating. and drilling in
the seed. Every days delay in get
ting. in grain after the soil is dry
enough to work means fewer bushels
at threshing time. Soil plowed in
the spring, too. is colder on the sur
face than that plowed in the fall,
which involves slower termination
and vegetation. AS to the proper
depth to pillow, it seems to me that Is
a question which each farmer must
decide for himself. according to his
own soil. conditions and crop require
ments. If the soil of given field Is
deep, say ten or twelve inches, and
that field were plowed In the fall for
spring grain, would try to pillow 1t
about seven inches deep. But IL by
some mischance that field were not
plowed until the spring would plow
1t lighter. as the deeper the blowing
the colder the surface turned up. II
that field were plowed in the fall for
mangels, would try for about eight
inches. But IL the surface soil Of this
field is only six or seven inches deep,
I would try to plow it only i've or six
inches deep. In other words, the
depth of the soil, the time of blowing
and the nature of the crop grown are
all factors in determining how deep
to pillow. do not wish to bring any
subsoil to the surface If can avoid
it. Sometimes, however, the surface
soil is so shallow that some of the
subsoil must necessarily be brought
to the surface in blowing. If have
deep soil l want to give the roots
of the plants liberal feeding grounds,
because they. will, If allowed, strike
down deeply. AS to the question of
frequency of blowing, it appears to me
that that also depends upon soils and
circumstances Heavy, compact soils
require more blowing than lighter
ones. Such soils tend to get hard
and bake and become inert, and hence
require the pillow to open them and i'm
prove their mechanical condition. The
plow, too. is the surest and quickest
ways'to destroy many sorts of weeds.
Where theNland is clean and the soil
will permit it, surface cultivation with
disc or spring tooth often forms a
better seed-bed than the use of the

A Warning to Parents.

A case which occurred in Cheshire,
England, in 1897 is probably without
parallel in the history of tragic coin
cidences. A lawyer well known in
Liverpool, whose name we will say is
Smith, was playing with his children
one evening when his youngest boy, a
little fellow Of five, asked to be lifted
up. The father at once complied by
placing a hand on each side OF the
boys head and raising him q foot or
so from the floor. When he placed
him on his feet again the boy fell to
the ground apparently. liteless. Every
effort was made to restore him TO con;
sciousness, but without effect, sndthe
