As FORAGE.

. The use of sorghum as a forage is
becoming more and more general
eacn year.. Men who have tried il
like it and say that no forage raised
on the farm is so eagerly eaten by
stock of, all kinds. and. it seems to
make no difference if it does become
a. little widowed and musty; the
stock will eat it up clean. The best
success with this crop is had by SOW.
ing the last of. May. drilled or broad
cast. and sowing thickly. cutting il
just as, late as possible in the fall.
SO that. the hard frosts will not spoil
it, then punching it into cocks in the
field of 500 or. 600 pounds each and
letting it remain there until. wanted
in the winter. In this way /. does
not cur as does hay, but retains its
juices and succulent qualities. It is
greatly esteemed as a substitute for
silage.

MANURE STRAWBERRIES IN 40
VANCE OF PLANTING.

Where possible strawberry ground
should be thoroughly fertilized the
year before putting in the plants.
This should be done in the case of
making new beds. II is now time to
looking after that phase of straw
berry growing. Plow the ground now
in which are to be set strawberry
plants next year. Fertilize it heavily
and plow in the manure. 1t will rot
by spring. when the ground should be
again pulverized. If the manure. is
by fall. the ground may be
then reworked to incorporate more
the fiber in the manure:
Where old beds are to be fortified.
the manure can be scattered in the
spaces between the rows now and
then spaded or cultivated in. 1t is
possible to Overdo the, matter of fer
tility and AUS the production of fol-

however. less. danger in doing this
than of feeding the plants too little.

Fair of aesueain

An unsuccessful effort has been
made in France to revive the fair OF
Beaucaire on a scale comparative to
that Of the good old times. These
fairs began in the thirteenth century,
and gradually rose to such proportions
that in 1890, for instance, the bust
ness transacted amounted to a .OOO,-
600 francs. Before the middle Of the
last century, the railway changed all
this. and today the fair is . mere
