w. ID. c., Portland, Tenn. writes
'Please give us some notes on sorghum
hay. / regard it as the poor farmers
friend. 1t can be successfully raised
where red top, timothy and clover hay
cannot be grown"
Answer: | agree with you that sorg-
nun hay can be grown where red top
timothy and clover hay cannot be
grown. However, / have possibly not
made myself clear to you and your
brothers farmers, for the term hay in
its strictest sense applies to forage
made from tame grasses. While sorg-
hum makes hay of excellent quality.
1t would not be regarded in the same
light as tame grass hay, being coars-
er, and of a different character and
composition, generally speaking. TIM
othy hay, as you know, rightly or
wrongly, is taken as the standard of
hay the world over, and in many of
the articles have written | have had
in mind the production of hay of a
fine soft quality, from tame grasses
/ do not intend to overlook or ignore
the virtues of sorghum hay which
fully appreciate, having had a good
deal Of experience with it, and l desire
to say that it is a great misfortune
that it is not more generally culti-
waited in the South on lands where no
hay is now grown. If they were large
1y utilized, it would solve many of the
80 fc,s,
viding a large amount Of forage
throughout the winter season, enabling
him to keep his stock in good condi-
tion, and thus enlarge that very inn
portant factor on every farm, the
manure heap.
While it is said that sorghum is hard
on the land, it will of course grow
where many of the tame grasses wilt
not grow at all, and it is not harder
on the land in proportion than other
crops. Sorghum is a strong. vigorous
growing plant, and hence makes
heavy draft OH the soil, but in proper
ton to its yield, does not injure the
land more than the tame grasses. 1t
will no doubt exhaust the land sooner
than the tame grasses because of the
larger yields obtained, and it's more,
vigorous character of growth. Farm
ers who cannot grow the tame grasses
or who find themselves financially I'M
able to purchase seed in considerable
quantities, can certainly resort to the
use of sorghum with success, so there
is no reason why they should not have
an abundance of hay of excellent quail
ity under any circumstances. If they
only more generally recognize this fact
it would be an excellent thing for the
agriculture of the South.-Andrew NJ.
Soule, in Knoxville Tribune.

Growing Orchard Grass.

have been sowing orchard grass
seed for a number of years, both for
seed and pasture; also sow it in very
poor orchards, mixing in with It clover
and like it better than any other grass
for poor orchards. For seed especially.
I should think three-fourths of bushel
per acre sufficient seed, as orchard
grass grows in punches or stools, and
when not crowded these stools throw
up great punches of stalks with large
heads Of seed. For pasture OF rolling
land inclined to wash l sow 1 to ~
bushels per acre. 1 think orchard
grass is the hardest, the easiest to
live and one of the best grasses we
have. l sow it with oats and clover
in the spring and have never failed
to get a good stand. l sow the oats
and cultivate them in well, getting the
ground well fined and level, then sow
the orchard grass seed and harrow in
well before rain. l have never prac-
ticed rolling the ground just after
sowing the seed, but generally roll the
orchard grass land after the second
year. early in the spring while the
ground is damp, as the punches of
grass open up considerably during the
winter. Orchard grass does not pro-
duce a crop of seed the first year, and
by sowing it with clover crop of hay
can be harvested the first year. The
ground improved and | believe in a
better condition to produce a better
crop of seed the next year, than with
out the clover; however, there is some
objection to the clover on account of
making it harder to clean the seed
properly. l think this objection now is
overcome by better machinery for
cleaning orchard grass seed.
The seed. can be sown on wheat in
the fall or any time in the winter or
spring with good results. Good land
should yield from ten to twenty bush
els per acre. l have known as much
as thirty bushels per acre being made,
but this yield is rare.-Thomas L. But
ton, in Farmers Home Journal

More liberalization.

The lesson which the Louisville
Courier-Journal reads from the present
state of affairs is more diversified
ton of crops, with the raising of cotton
as part only Of the farming system
and as a cash crop, and corn, small
grains and grasses for rotation and
home consumption for man and beast,
except as surplus. The construction
of the isthmian canal will call for
great increase of all food products of
the farm, garden and. orchard, and the
proximity of the South will give it an
advantage over more northern belts,
by which it should be prepared to
profit"

Sure Sign of Debility.

One of the sJrest signs of debility In
trees is the growths from the trunk
and main branches and the dying off,
yesr by year, of the twlggy terminal
shoots. The sap does not circulate
freely to the extremities, but chiefly
about the trunk and main branches,
putting out a feeble growth on these
parts, which grow stronger the nearer
they approach the roots.-Southern

Most Profitable Fowls.

For the cost and trouble required in
raising them, guineas are among the
most profitable fowls which can be
raised on the farm. They prefer to
seek their own food in the meadows
and fields, and so long as they can find
plenty themselves they will not come
to get it. In this way they eat up a
great number Of worms and grubs and
keep down bugs and beetles to a great
extent. A good flock of the fowls
needs large range, and every farm
of any size should be blessed with a
attempt to raise them on small ranges.
for they will not thrive when cooped
up the same as other barnyard fowls.
A flock of about twenty will range
over a farm of fifty to 100 acres, and
by their persistence will help to keep
down all the bugs and insects. They
will do more. They will help to keep
down many noxious weeds and wild
plant. The guineaS are also the most
trustworthy watch-dogs. If taught to

they will give the loudest alarms as
soon as an enemy approaches. Dogs,
foxes and human beings alike attract
their attention, and they keep up the
shrill cries until the enemy has left
the place. A great many poultrymen
try to keep a few guineas in their
flocks simply for this one purpose of
giving the alarm when chicken thieves
come around

How to Win Souls For Christ.

Andrew teaches Christians still the
first lesson in soul-winning: Go for
your own brother. That is, try to bring
to Christ those whom you love, those
nearest to you. 1t makes no difference
whether the nearness is of blood or
sympathy. You will succeed where
you love.
Christianity is to win the world by
this process alone-neighbor influence
ing neighbor, friend influencing friend.
1t is like leaven. One part of yeast
will permeate two thousand parts of
dough-, but only by changing the parts
next to it, and so working its way
through the mass.

If one were to obtain a perfect stand
of peas on field sown broadcast it is
not likely that the benefit to the soil
would be any greater than if the peas
were drilled in. The benefit derived by
the soil depends on several things
First, if a good stand is obtained, the
soil is shaded all the summer and kept
moist and damp, then if the peas form
roots freely they extract considerable

High Ground For Peaches.

1t is best on general principles to
pecially peaches. A northern site gives
a colder and later soil and thus retards
the blossoming until a later period, re-
ducing the danger from late spring
frosts, and avoiding the bad effects of
the suns rays on trees in bloom if they
happen to be covered by frost.-South-
ern Fruit Grower.

CUTTING BACK FALL SET TREES

Thousands of fruit trees will be set
from season to season, and 1t is safe
to say that, many hundreds of them
will be Improperly set, the main fault
being with the preparation of the tree
| before it is SET Time was when it
was generally thought necessary to
preserve each tiny root possessed by
the tree and to spread them out care
fully before covering them with soil.
1t is now known that the trees grow
much better if the roots are shortened
to about six inches. The fine roots
of which we used to be so careful are
of little value, having dried more or
less in transit, so the thing to accom-
plish is to start a new growth of
fbrous roots as soon as possible and
they will readily start from the freshly
pruned ends.
Having shortened the roots the top of
the tree should have attention. Many
planters trim all trees back to a single
whip, cutting just above strong bud
and about two feet from the ground
after the tree is set. Other growers
prefer to shorten the tops in the same
proportion as the roots, namely, back
to six inches. This is a matter of
choice largely, though a two or three
year-old tree would probably do best
with the top pruning last named.
Trees prepared in this way will grow
faster and make a better start than
those set on the old plan or on any
plan which shows carelessness. If the
tree was worth buying, it is worth
planting right and caring for after

BEST SOIL FOR DEW BERRIES

Regarding the soil suited FOR its Gull
ture, the dewberry is, not fastidious.
It's most frequent native habitat is
along the sandy roadside, in soils I'M
suited for the growth of most other
plants, yet, nevertheless, rich, moist
soil will undoubtedly, produce supe-
rior crops, and the results obtained by
the most experienced growers have
shown that on such lands the yield is
greater and the quality of the fruit is
superior to that grown on the poorer
soils.
Abundant yields of fruit, and Wig
orous growth of canes have been OBJ
tanned at the Texas Experiment Sta
ton from dewberries grown on rather
q heavy clay soil, and an almost i'm
pervious subsoil. One serious defect
noticed is the drying of the fruit I'M
der the intensely hot sun, but this
seems to be worse on some varieties
than on others. With a careful selec-
ton of varieties and a vigorous growth
of foliage for the protection of the
fruit, this difficulty may be mitigated.
The natural habit of growing on dry,
sandy land gives the dewberry excel
lent drouth-resisting qualities, which
make it a desirable fruit for the semi
arid conditions that exist in many
parts of the State.-National Fruit

Is different from any other walk that

1t resembles the Grecian bend, which

The new walk requires these things:

High-heeled shoes with wide soles.
Big hips and a fiat back.
A certain carriage which is known as
the MILITARY carriage.

If she can get a West Point cadet to
teach her so much the better. The new
walk will be the military walk with
certain improvements and changes.

throw back the shoulders. Now ex-
pand the chest. Next square the ell

not out. Now draw in the abdomen,
