S. w. COGLIZER, AGENT.

July. There is a difference of
opinion as to how much seed
should be used when sorghum is
to be pastured. Some say to sow
broadcast or drill thickly, using
60 to 100 pounds of seed to the
acre. Others think it better to
drill in rows about three feet
apart, using only about twenty
pounds of seed to the acre. They
claim that when the sorghum is
drilled in rows the stock paStur-
ing on it can pass up and. down
between the rows and thus avoid
trapping on the plants. On
fairly clean ground or where cul-
tivation can be given, this plan
would no doubt be a good one for
it would not only prevent, but II
would save about S1.00 worth OF
seed to the acre. If we feared a
shortage of pasture in the late
summer we would, unless we had
silo, be strongly attempted to
sow sorghum, but at the same
time we would also consider the
use of cowpeas and soy beans.
Remember that in hot, dry, clear
weather sorghum plants may be-
come stunted and form prussic
acid, which is poison. -Walla-
ce'S Farmer.

Will He Bolt?

The above has been. the head
ing to editorials in most of the
leading metropolitan papers the
past few days. Of course it re-
fers to Roosevelt, whom a lot OF
people believe will bolt the con-
vention in case he does not re-
ceive the regular nomination.
Up to the time this was writ
ten all contests heard BY the
committee have been decided in
favor of Taft. Call it a steam
roller, or whatever you will, up
to this time the Taft forces are
getting the best of it.
The report has been current
for months that the Roosevelt
fellows have had a big theatre in
Chicago under lease for the same
week the Republican convention
is to be held. Just why this
would be necessary unless a bolt
is contemplated is not known.

An increase in blende prices
made the last of the week brought
the high base to $50. At least
two sales from mines in the Jop-
lin field brought the high price
of the week. But slight changes
were noted in the spelter and pig
lead markets, so far as prices
were concerned. Satisfactory
prices were made, however, in all
departments of the industry and
in the production of ore the week
was a notable one. +
The high basis for blende was
$50 for ore carrying 90 per cent
metallic zinc. The base range
was $54 to $50. Lower grade
ore was not in quite as much de-
mand as the week previous and
prices were slightly lower. The
average price per ton lower on
the undergrades was about IS
cents per ton. Bidding on the
first-class ore was spirited and no
change in prices was noticeable.
The lead market was slightly
weaker, although prices were
practically the same as the week
previous. The high price for
lead ore was SIS per ton. No
noticeable change was made in
calamine quotations. There has
been an increase in calamine pro-
duction recently, but this has
had no effect on prices.
Last week was featured BY
ideal mining conditions. Thruout
the week the weather was very
favorable, and as there have been
no heavy rains recently to cause
excessive pumping or a cessation
of operations at any properties
there was nothing to hold back
the production.

Sorghum For Pasture.
A Kansas correspondent writes:

"A hduSdS COIIcSpOHuCuI WAAbSS'
II am going to be short OF
pasture this summer and would
like to know what would be the
cheapest and best pasture to
plant for this one year. Oats are
seventy cents per bushel. / saw
an article in an agricultural pa
per recently written by someone
from western Kansas which stat
ed that he had seeded five acres
of cane in his pasture for a num-
Der of years and turned his stock
on it as soon as it was nicely up.
He claimed he never had any
bad results and that his cattle
suffered no bad effects from break
ing into other pieces of cane and
kafir corn. What do you think
about this?"
There is no one temporary
pasture crop which is best. Our
correspondent should read over
our articles in our April 5th issue
and in our Boys Corner of Feb
ruary 9th, to get some idea of
what catch drops would be best
adapted to make pasture under
his conditions. Oats, succotash
or rape are generally sown to
furnish the early pasture during
May, June and early July. Sor-
Rhum, cowpeas and soy beans
NAV be seeded during late May
or June to furnish pasture during
late July, August and September
when pastures are ordinarily
their shortest. During the late
fall rape seeded with small grain
or by itself the first week in July
furnishes excellent pasture.
But to return to the question
of sorghum for pasture we will
say that this plant furnishes an
abundance of fair pasture and
should be used much more extern
sively for this purpose. The
Missouri Experiment Station
found it to be excellent hog pas
ture when the hogs were turned
on it when about two feet high.
But the second growth OF sor-
ghum did not produce nearly
such good results in this expert
ment. Sorghum is especially
valuable because it furnishes pas
ture in the late summer when it
is particularly needed. The
greatest objection is the posi-
bility of poisoning. There are
a large number of cases on rec
ord where green sorghum which
had been stunted by the heat OF
drouth killed the stock pastured
upon it. Hot, dry, clear weather
seems to be favorable to the pro
duction of prussic acid, the poi
son which causes the trouble.
Those of our readers who will
use ordinary care in pasturipg
their sorghum should not fear
poisoning.
We would SOW sorghum for
pasturing in about the same way
as for hay, sowing on a warm,
mellow seed bed any time during
~. .,n.fh of June or early Ia

your young readers a sum to

three times as many as one can
in one hour, and the first one Of
the two smokes half again as
many as the second. In three
days they consume 400 cigarettes.
How many does each one smoke?
