MAKE EXCELLENT DRY CROP
Milo Should Be Grown Instead Of
Corn Where Rainfall ls Below
Twenty-Five Inches.

Milo is the surest yielding grain
crop that is grown In eastern Colo
RADIO. western Kansas and Oklahoma,
the Panhandle of Texas and eastern
New Mexico.
The United States department OF
agriculture reports the average yield
for five years at Amarillo and other
dry land experiment stations at forty
bushels of grain per acre year
Farmers in the same section report
Yields OF thirty to eighty bushels per
acre.
A bushel Of milo Will produce from
ten to eleven pounds of pork This
makes the annual pork production
for the dry lands OF the southwest
equal to 400 pounds and upwards of
pork per acre when milo Is grown
and fed. Ten pounds of milo have
the same feeding value for horses.
beef and dairy cattle. hogs and sheep
as nine pounds of corn.
Milo is the corn for the plains OF
the southwest and should be grown
instead OF corn where the annual rain

Migratory Birds,

IN recent issue of the National
Geographic Magazine Mr. Wells Cook
of the United States biological sur
vey. has presented an interesting
study of bird migration In his article
he tells us that the cliff swallows
which nest In Nova Scotia leave the
Gulf coast of Mexico about March 10
and arrive at their destination two
months later. on May TO- Most of the
birds that spend the winter in Central
or South America. he says. take the
direct route across the gulf instead of
going via Texas or by way of Florida.
Cuba or Yucatan. and this aerial jour.
ney means single flight of from 500
to 700 miles with no alighting place.
But the greatest traveller OF all is
the golden plover, which nests in sum-
mer on the arctic shores OF North
America. whence 1t migrates to Labra-
dor. and at Nova Scotia begins a $500
mile fight to South America. Its win
ter home is in Argentina. and after a
six-month stay there Is comes back
across the gulf and up the Mississippi
valley, and when 1t is again at its
summer home 1t has covered about l5
900 miles. The arctic terms accomplish
in 20 weeks a round trip of $4,000
miles between the arctic and ant
arctic oceans.

Danger In Floor Oils.

There is a warning to housekeepers
and to all who have the care of build

Ministers.

Much alarm is done by the excellent
men and women who gather up all the
charges of cruelty against surgeons
aud physicians and publish them In
the interest of humanity. We make
no exception. not even in the case OF
missionaries, when we say that there
is no class in the community which
furnishes more heroic examples OF
devotion to the interests of mankind
than the nurses and physicians who
spend their lives not only in minister
ing to the sick, but In devising new
ways to relieve suffering and in trac-
ing out the secret causes of disease
Every month we read OF physicians
who have lost their lives in the con
duct of experiments designed solely
to banish the plaques which devastate
society. They die Of yellow fever. the
plague. leprosy. the baneful effects of
radium and the new applications of
the secret forces which are Just com
ing under experiment In chemical lab
oratories.-Christian Register.

GRASS SEEDS AND ALFALFA
Gus In Dry Areas to Provide
Suitable Covering.

In dry areas II will be found great
~ advantageous to provide covering
for grasses and also for alfalfa. The
harrow is not the best implement to
provide this covering. 1t does not
bury the seed evenly. Some Of II
may lie so near the surface that n
dry weather 1t will die after 1t has
terminated. Much OF It may not
terminate at all. In some seasons
whereas on similar land 1t Will sue
coed we'll II properly put in with q
drill.
Many drills now In use will not
SOW alfalfa seed properly. They feed
1t out too fast. thus making the
stand too thick on the ground. To
meet this condition It Is sometimes
substance. When thus sown 1t lie
not easy to regulate the amount OF
the seed used.
Those who are purchasing drills
should see to II that they purchase
one with an attachment for growing
grass and other small seeds that will
feed the seed into the large tubes OF
the drill so that It will be buried in
the soil. II may be sowed with the
grain or separately. as may be de
sired. The seed may be covered to
any depth that may be desired This
attachment may be so made that II
will drop the seed on the surface. bui
as rule 1t should run 1t into the
large spouts. The amount Of seed
sown may thus be perfectly con.
trolled
In some places II answers fairly
we'll to SOW grass seeds along with
the grain. the seeds going in together
with the grain. This plan is some.
times adopted on the soft soils of the
Dakotas. On hard soils 1t would be
complete failure. Grass seeds may
be sown by these drills separately
from the grain by running the drills
across after the grain has been sewn.
These drills will be first class for
sowing dwarf essex rape. also for
sowing millet In all of its varieties.
1t will enable the farmer to SOW al.
falfa In rows wide apart; when thGs
sown 1t may be cultivated. The rape
and also the millet may be put In
similarly.

Fillino the Silo.

The important thing is this is TO ex
clude the air by close packing
Whether the silage be delivered by
carrier or blower. il is very necessary
that one or two good men remain in
the silo to pack the ensilage thor
oughly. If air get In. the ensilage
spoils The heating OF the ensilage
is due to bacteria. which multiply al
40 to 100 degrees After a time a
slower fermentation process succeeds
and acetic acid is formed. which gives
a relish to the feed. To facilitate
these processes. a fair amount OF
moisture is needed; so, if the corn
is at all dry 1t is well to turn a
stream of water into the silo as II is
being packed.

AD0RNMENT FOR THE BABY
Much Consideration Has Been. Given
to Designs for the Small
Household Monarch.

Sunray shirring is coming in again,
and very quaint 1t looks on the little
white bonnets for infants and their
sisters Of two or three years. The
backs Of the bonnets are stiffened
and round and the side portions also
are shirred.
One dainty little bonnet of this
style is bordered with a band of white
fur, and a second has narrower
band Of mink and tiny dabs of the
mink over the ears.
Pink apple blossoms apepar on one
model, and a cluster of round. pink.
unopened buds on another. A wreath
Is also very pretty decoration, one
being just an applique of alternating
leaves and petals, the leaves being of
moss-green velvet and the petals of
pink silk. White chiffon makes some
OF these bonnets and white bengaline
others. One combines the two mate
rails, the chiffon being SHRED in
bands and used to trim the more
severe outlines of the bengaline.
For very new baby a long dress
has three-inch ruffle at the foot
applied with cording. A bow of pale
blue ribbon, with streamers that
reach almost to the hem of the long
skirt, is caught at the left side near
the shoulder.
For a little tot in short dresses
there is a dainty coat of accordion
plated white chiffon, with a forward
turning hem. and little cape made
