THE POISON IN SORGHUM.
It Is Known as Hydrocyanic Acid and
Is One of the Deadliest Sub
stances Known.

We often hear of stock being poi
soned by eating green sorghum plants,
especially the second growth. The
Journal of the Chemical Society of
London, Eng, published an article
by j. c. Brunnish, which throws some
light upon the subject. Hydrocyanic
acid is one of the most deadly poisons
known and it has been found in small
quantities in sorghum and other
plants, gradually diminishing, as a
rule as the plants grow older 1t is
said to be impossible to state just
exactly when the plants become safe
for use, but as a rule it may be as
sumed that sorghum is fit for fodder
as soon as the seeds are fully devel-
oped. Drying sorghum does not re-
move the hydrocyanic acid. The
amount of poison appears to be in
creased by the use of heavy nitro
genous fertilizers. A certain amount
of the poison was found in corn in
various stages until the formation of
the cobs, but never in dangerous guam
titles. The author recommends that all
forage plants related to sorghum
should be used with discretion in the
green or dried state and should not be
fed in an immature stage or to ami
mails which have tasted for long
time

SHE SOWED LIVER PILLS.
But It Is Not at All Likely That She
Waited for Them to
Take Root.

There is a woman in Phoenix, Ariz.,
who has the correct idea all right, but,
whether it will work out remains for the
future to disclose, states the Republican
of that town.
Recently her husband bought small
ranch, and with him she has been much
interested in planning improvements, espe-
cially in the growing line, with which to
adorn the place
The other day beds were prepared for
sweet peas, and the lady of the house was
busily engaged in asserting her seeds and
carrying the little packets out of doorsy
where their contents were transferred to
the beds in regular order. AS each variety
was planted, the name was placed on d
small marker, as is the custom with gar
deners.
In particularly choice location the con-
tents of packet were laboriously dropped,
one by one, until the row was filed and
the earth nicely smoothed over it, When
the lady picked up the packet to properly
write the marker she discovered that she
had carefully planted her mothers pack

THROUGH HIS "ALFALFAS."
Speech Became Entangled and Lost
Its Way in the Foliage on
Speakers Face.

At the live stock show recently held
in Chicago Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson was one of the speakers at a
mass meeting of cattle men. Behind him
on the same platform, relates the New
York Herald, somewhat screened from
observation, sat Norman j. Colman, the
first man to hold the portfolio of agri-
culture
Secretary Wilson made happy speech,
and because of his popularity with the
western ruralist he was the shining, cen
trail figure of the gathering. When he
had finished talking lusty lungs and sum
burned hands gave him noisy appreciation.
The applause had not. ceased when a Ne
braska farmer, with whiskers like Senator
PETERS, arose in the back of the hall and
said:
Gentlemen, we are all mighty glad to
hear Secretary Wilson and are ready to
do him honor, but let us not forget the
other great men we have with us. We
have on the same platform tonight the
alfalfa and omega of agriculture"-
1t was as far as the speaker ever got.
His few remaining words were lost in the
shrieks of laughter.

DO NOT GIVE UP TRYING.
Raising Turkeys Is Not Always a
Success, But When It Is the
Work Pays Well.

An enthusiastic Missouri turkey
raiser has this to say in the Kansas
Farmer:
We often hear this remark: 81 can't
raise turkeys, they all die"
This may be true in certain cases.
There are some things to be consid-
cred, and the most difficult obstacle to
overcome is freeing them from lice.
My remedy for this is as follows: Take
lard (hog's faD and few drops of
carbolic acid and mix well. and when
turkeys are "a hours old put just a
little of this on each wing fight, as
this is where the lice live mostly on
turkeys; and put little on top of each
head. Also use this on the mother hen.
but use sparingly on both mother and
chicks.
Place them in pen in the shade and
have the pen 12x12 feet and on nice,
clean grass; move every three days.
Feed young turkeys on hard-boiled
eggs, just a little at each time, and five
to six times daily, and give fresh, clean
water at each meal AS they get older,
increase the feed and grease three
times week; when large enough, let
them go free with the mother, but con-
tinue greasing them until two months
old and feed three times daily.
If you have been one of those unfor-
tunate turkey raisers. do not give up
trying; try again. They require close
attention until they are a few weeks
old. but after that they soon grow into
many dollars for you

How Eggs Travel Around.

to Chicago and then to New York The

Feeding the Breeding Pigs.

Pigs that are to be used for breed
ing should be kept separate from those
that are to be prepared for market,
at least, after the first few years
of their lives. Care must be taken to
give well-balanced ration. which will
give good muscular development and
will at the same time give enough car
bon in various forms to keep up the
energy of the body. They should have
a ration that is largely vegetable and
therefore bulky. Some grain should be
given, but not enough to render the
whole ration too concenterated.-Fa

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me, March 2l.-Mrs.
A. L. Smith, of this place, says that
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best remedy
for growing girls. Mrs. Smith emphasizes
her recommendation by the following ex-
perience:
My daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that Would last a week and would
then pass off. In month she would have
the spells again. AT these times she
would eat very little and was very yellow,
even the whites of her eyes would be vel
low.
The doctors gave us no encouragement,
they all said they could not help her
After taking one box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, she has not had one bad spell. OF
course, we continued the treatment IN
til she had used in all about a dozen
boxes, and we still give them to her oc-
casionally, when she is not feeling well.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the best
medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of Mrs.
Smith, for by so doing they may save
their daughters much pain and sickness
and ensure a healthy happy future for
them.
