Get Suitable Seed.

The next thing Of Importance is
that variety of seed should DO
selected that is best suited to the To-
cality TO be planted. There are
fifteen known varities of seed and It
Is quite easy to make serious mis-
take along these lines, but no doubt
your agricultural department can ad-
wise you as to the best varieties of
seed suitable for your locality. We
grow in Central lllinols what Is
known as the Standard Tennessee
Evergreen, producing a very thrifty
growth, and can only be harvested
by what is known as breaking and
tabling process and the use of the
knife. 1t is our impression that a
variety of seed that is now used in
your country, called Dwarf, which
seems to produce brush desirable
in length and fiber, and so far as We
can see is adapted to your country.
At the same time We would suggest
to your farmers that they use more
caution in selecting their seed in
order to secure as near as possible
pure strain or variety that has not
been mixed with sorghum canes and
other varieties of farm products. We
are sure that an improvement can be
made in the more careful selection Of
your seed, and it will pay few
farmers to look carefully into the
seed industry, and make a specially
Of good seed for 10 time at least,
which will be as profitable as that Of
growing the brush. In short, we
regard the seed question Of vital i'm
portance in your country when in
PRODUCING the industry of broom corn
growing, and a great many have
made a failure from the simple fact
that they have planted something
called broom corn seed, when In fact
they have planted an article that
simply represented seed, but the real
article was the product of careless,
slipshod, don't care industry
1t is useless to say that a proper
seed bed is important. AS to the
time of planting it is largely de-
termined by the locality and weather
conditions, 1t is safe to say that
when the soil Is warm, and you have
the seed bed in good shape, and all
Vegetation has begun to start 1t Is
then safe to plant broom corn, re-
gardless Of locality.
The next in importance is that of
right thickness Of the growth when
planting, and since your soil Is new
and fertile, we believe that fifty to
sixty-five stalks to the rod, equally
distributed, will produce growth Of
brush desirable in length ahd fiber,
for Luch of the poor growth can
often be attributed to the uneven
stand more largely than that of Guilt
walton or weather conditions.
Careful Cultivation.
The next thing Of Importance Is
cultivation, which should be begun
as soon as the small plant is of suf-
ficient height to be fully identified
in the row, and it is very important
that all grass and weeds should be
removed as closely as possible in or

Broom Corn From India.

Broom Corn From India.
Broom corn, Sorghum vulgar"
plant which is a native OF India, has
been cultivated in a small way in
some of the European countries, but
its great value, and its peculiar uses
We're not fully developed until 1t be-
came extensively cultivated in the
United states. The introduction of
broom corn as an agricultural pro-
duct is attributed to Or. Franklin,
and its first production was more of
curiosity than as a plant of real
value. 1t remained for the society
of shakers in Watervlett, New York,
in the year 1901, to grow a small
quantity In their gardens, and In
1898 the practical use was attempted,
while crude in its way, at the same
time, in the sahpe and form OF the
present brush of broom; and for
many years all the broom corn grown
was in the state of New York, and
largely in the Mohawk valley. Dur
ing the early development period of
this industry, the supply did not keep
mp with the demand, as the American
housewife was quick to appreciate
the value and Importance OF the
good broom in her home. She at
once abandoned the old hickory
splint broom for the "New Idea" the
material for which she was able to
produce in some cosy corner in her
well kept garden. For time broom
corn sold at fabulous prices in com
parison to latter years, often selling
as high as $4OO per ton.
The Industry finally spread to
Ohio, and in a small way to Tennes-
see, but the soil of both states was
not of the character to make the in
dustry success, and was finally in
PRODUCED in Central Illinois in 1864,
and for a number OF years the grow
ing of broom corn has been the most
profitable and leading farm industry
In Central Illinois,
The Illinois farmer was quite for
tunate in introducing this farm pro-
duct when he did, from the fact that
the question of over production had
not yet taken place, and the supply
was not equal to the demand. The
country was new and the soil was
exceedingly fertile, aud we'll adapted
to the growing of this produce, hence,
many Illinois farmers can look back
TO the time when he never sold broom
corn for less than 800 per ton, and
quite frequently at much higher
prices. The industry was n profit
able one, and many Illinois farmers
today owe their financial success very
largely to the broom corn industry.
Grown In Forty States.
But time and development OF the
western countries has changed all
things. and today. at least forty
states and territories are interested
in the growing of broom corn to a
greater or less extent, and there is q
possible danger of over production,
as the consumption of brooms is very
largely confined to the United States,
yet there is undoubtedly a wide field

Has Peculiar Market.

The next thing of importance is
that of good market, and since
broom corn Is never handled on
change" or the general markets, as
many other farm products, but stands
alone as a peculiar product, the an
nual production of which Is so small
in comparison with that of other
leading farm crops that I've commod-
ity offers an easy opportunity for
speculation, which quite often results
in great fluctuation in prices.
Broom corn, like hemp, hops and
tobacco can be more economically
grown in localities where many are
engaged in the same enterprise than
in isolated communities where there
are only a few producers. Hence,
the grower who is not favorably
located for the market and plants
large acreages without adequate
knowledge OF the broom corn busi-
MISS and but little preparation for
taking care OF the crop will most
likely grow poor quality, and at the
same time, meet with disappoint-

FOR THE WINDOWS
THEIR TREATMENT AND CARE
IN WINTER.
After Being Properly Cleaned,
Preparation Can Be Applied That
VIII Keep Them Free from
Frost and Steam.

Before cleaning windows, remove
all the dust. If the paint requires
cleaning do this first. taking care
not to scrub, as this removes both
paint and dirt.
Vanished wood should be rubbed
with a piece OF chamois leather wrung
out of cold water. and then polished
with a soft duster.
For cleaning windows some people
use ammonia in the proportion of one
tablespoonful to a gallon of water, but
the work a be performed quite as
efficiently and much more quickly by
using clean water and two good
channels feathers, one for washing the
glass and the other for polishing 1t.
See that the wash feathers are quite
clean. and do not make the glass so
wet that the water drips from it.
Have plenty of clean water and
change It frequently. Dip the channels
in this and rub the panes, taking care
that the corners are not forgotten.

In order that an Objectionable view
may be shut out, dissolve some epson
salts in hot water and make it as

the glass while hot with a brush. 1t

when the water has ~evaporated the

frosted.

To the Pole BY Bear Power.

Capt. Road Amundsen, the explor'
er of the northwest passage, is the
latest aspirant for the honor of discov-
ering the north pole. Capt. Amund-
sen has a new scheme. He is not
going to take any chances with air
ships, motor sleds or any other artif-
cial achievements of modern ingenui-
ty. His motto is: Back to nature
He proposes to use things that are al
home in arctic conditions. His motive
power will be polar bears. The nor
NAL polar bear as he is found at large
would have some disadvantages in the
role of a domestic animal. His temper
is not amiable, and it would be hard
to keep him in a proper state OF dis
cipline, even with a club. The only
effective argument with him is a gun,
preferably at long range. But Capt.
Amundsen purposes to employ bears
that have heard of the call of
the wild. He is having them trained
as cubs, so that by the time they grow
up they ought to be as docile as
horses. When he takes them north q
trip to the pole will be a mere pleas
ure jaunt for them. The colder and
meane the weather the better they
will like 1t. If they come to a break
in the ice, such as the one that stopped
Peary, they will enjoy swimming
across. With sea flesh for their food
they a live on the country. Accord
ing to Capt Amundsen bear is ten
times as strong as a horse and can
haul as much as a hundred dogs. With
six bears. therefore, he will have co.
horse power, or 600-dog power. More
over, when tanned, polar bears are
"tractable, reliable and affectionate."
