MiIlet and hungarian Grass.

Millet Is entirely O summer crop, ana
the seed should not 60 in the ground
until warm weather has been assured.
1t Is especially adapted to light sandy
soils, upon which large crops can be
grown, but thrives well also on soils
that are heavier. The richer the soil
the better, but it is very important to
first get the seed bed in fine, pulver-
lied condition. Plow deep and harrow
several times before seeding, using a
brush for covering in the seed. If the
location Is in a good, rich and suitable
portion of the field, the seed should be
sown thickly, for the finer the stalks
the tenderer and more palatable the
hay, but where it is sown for the pur-
pose of obtaining seed for the succeed
ing season it should be done in drills,
using less seed, though it may be
broadcasted If necessary. The appear
ance of mlllet while growing Is similar
to that Of thickly y-sown dwarf corn, the
leaves being broad, covering the
ground completely. 1t grows very rap.
Idly, especially during warm weather,
If there has been q plentiful supply of
moisture, and it also stands the drouth
admirably. The tall German giant MIL
let is the kind generally preferred.
Hungarian grass is very similar to mil
let, both belonging to the same family
Of plants, but while the millet can be
cropped only once Hungarian grass
furnishes successive cuttings until fall,
which is an advantage when the soil
ing system is practiced with stock; but
1t does not grow as tall as millet, nor
give such heavy yields at the times or
cutting. AS hay crop for winter use
millet should be preferred. Millet and
Hungarian grass are highly relished by
all kinds of stock, especially if cut and
cured before seeding. The heads may
shoot the seed, but the cutting must not
be delayed long enough to allow the
seeds to fill out. Cured the same as
ordinary hay and stored in the barn.
the leaves do snot crumble to pieces
easily, like clover, and when run
through O cutter and seasoned with
meal, bran and a little salt, the mass
makes almost a complete food. These
crops are indispensable in places that
are not adapted to clover and other
grasses, as they are not only certain
but grow and mature in q very short
time. AS renovating crops they are
excellent, for q large crop Of millet or
Hungarian grass turned under fur
nishes a mass of green manure, that
never fails to restore the soil to Its
original fertility where it has not been
cropped for grain too largely. When.
ever the crop is intended for green
manure it should be seeded down
thickly and cut before the seeds ma
ture, first giving the standing crop a
good dusting Of lime on damp day,
following with a plow and chain. AS
both crops grow on very sandy soil TO
q certain extent they afford q means
of enriching the soil until it Is fitted
for other crops. but it is we'll to bear
in mind that all green manure is more
effectual when used in company with
lime. If necessary, two crops can be
grown and plowed under the same sea-
Record.

RELIANCE WINS RACE,
Defeats Constitution and Columbia Over
Thirty.Mils Course.

New York City.-The Reliance, in a
race twice around a f1fteen-mile tri-
angle on the Sound, in breeze vary
Ing from seven to twelve miles an
aour, beat the Constitution two minutes
and twenty-one seconds, actual time.
and the Columbia fifteen minutes and
6fty-one seconds.
It has been estimated that the Reli-
apce's racing length is about 10S and
the Constitution about 104. On these
figures the Reliance would win from
the Constitution by twenty.four sec.
onds. If the Reliance's racing length
Is over 10s then the Constitution is
probably winner.
The race showed that the Reliance Is
not nearly as stiff as the Columbia or
he Constitution. She made much more
fuss in going through the water than
the Constitution, and she was particu-
larly hard to steer.

MARYLAND pRoUTH BROKE.
Terrific Thunderstorms Folio wed by
Heavy Rain-Crop Losses.

Baltimore, Md.-For thirty-six hours
MARYLAND was the centre Of electrical
storms and heavy rains. The drouth
in all parts of the State is effectuaily
broken, and dispatches from the best
truck growing sections Of the penin-
sula and the southern counties state
that the loss will not be as heavy as
feared a few days ago. The tomato
crop will not be as large as usual, and
the conditions may affect the packing
industries. The wheat crop on the
Eastern Shore will be cut in half. In
the western part of the State the hay
crop is ruined.
While no fatalities are reported, the
damage by lightning in various parts
of the State Is considerable. In some
parts Of the State five furious thunder
storms followed each other within six
