The big engine, dynamo and
other necessary machinery ar
rived Saturday and workmen are
rushing things into place as

of the interior wiring is ready

With the solid support of the

enabled to do still more for the

we do for company of home
people more we can expect them
to do for the advancement of the

CHAPTER /.


Milo is the surest yielding crop
that is grown in the dry land sec
tion of Eastern Colorado, West
ern Kansas and Oklahoma, the
Panhandle of Texas and Eastern
New Mexico.
The U. S. Department of Agri-
culture reports the average yield
for five years at Amarillo, Texas,
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 averge
annual pork production from the
dry lands of the southwest equal
to 400 and upwards of pounds
per acre where 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 wherever
the annual rainfall drops below
twenty-five inches. Farmers in
the Panhandle of Texas say that
it never fails to yield a crop of

The writer once knew a mer-
chant who did not believe in adj
vertising. One day his creditors
took charge of his stock and sent
man to sell it out. The first
thing the man did was to buy a
double page ad in the local paper
and had five thousand bills print
ed. The merchant was highly
indignant at this waste of money
but his protest was of no avail.
When the buyers began to come
in droves his anger began to cool
and when the sale had continued
for ten days enough had been
taken in to pay off his debts and
leave enough to continue the
business. The first thing he
did was to go to the newspaper
Office and contract for a half
page ad for year. He could
have saved the expense of this
representative of his creditors
but he didn't believe in advertise
ing then-but he does now.
Moral: Don't wait until the sher-
iff advertises your business
you can do it and save his fees.

Ka6r corn or early amber

Kafr corn or early amber
sorghum, planted in rows rather
thickly and cut, when in bloom,
with binder, makes good hay
for horses whose grain feed is
milo.
MILO FOR FATTENING BEEF
CATTLE.
When fattening cattle are first
put on feed they may be given
milo fodder, stalks and heads to-
gether, the crop cut with binder
and kept in the shock until cured.
After thirty days of such feeding
the waste becomes too great and
it will pay to snap the heads
from the stalks and feed them
in grain boxes the same as ear
corn, For the final feeding, after
the steers have become tairly
fat, it will pay to grind the milo.
The heads may be ground with
out threshing, the small stems
to which the seeds are fastened
forming a ground roughage. or
the heads may be threshed and
the clear grain ground.
The best laxative feed to give
cattle being fattened on milo is
green cured alfalfa hay cut to
retain most of the leaves. Sor-
ghum cut in bloom, stock beets
and melon are good for this pur-
pose. During the last half of the
fattening period, cattle should
have some alfalfa hay or linseed
or cottonseed meal with the milo.
Continued next week.

grain, and that it will yield
twenty bushels an acre in years
so dry that wheat is an absolute
failure. Milo should have the
same place in dry land farming
that corn has in Iowa and Illinois.
1t has nearly the same compost
ton as corn, like feeding quail
ties, and can be used with profit
for the feeding of every class of
farm animals to which corn in
fed.
MILO FOR WORK HORSES.
Horses doing heavy farm work
should be given three feeds of
milo day. 1t is usually fed in
the head, one-half more heads
being given than would be given
ears of corn. Most teamsters
prefer to feed milo in the head,
cutting the main stem off close
to the head. The main stem of
of the head and the many little
stems to which the seeds are
attached force the horse to do a
large amount of chewing before
the grain can be swallowed, and
this mastication grinds the grain
and mixes it with the saliva, in-
creasing the proportion digested.
The seeds of milo are small, and
when the threshed grain is fed
to the horses it is chewed very
little and much of the seed passed
through undigested. Ground
milo makes good hoase feed.
Horses and mules have stood
well hard work all summer, such
such as breaking prairie, with no
grain but milo. Colts and horses
not working may be fed milo
fodder just as it is cured, stalks
and heads.
