Discussions by Men Experienced
in Growing This Valuable Crop
BROOM CORN SEED THE FIRST
THING TO CONSIDER.
tsy Rush James, Charleston, ny

(By Rush James. Charleston, Ill)
Have raised broom corn for twelve
successive years, and the first thing
to be considered is the quality of seed.
| buy the best ! can get. free from
smut, from some seed dealer who is
absolutely reliable. The Australian
Standard Seed is superior to any
other variety.
The ground is ploughed from five
to six inches deep, fall ploughing pre-.
ferred. after which it is double disced
ana narrowed. As the seed bed should
be in first class condition with the
soil thoroughly pulverlzed So as to
insure an even stand Of corn. From
sixty TO eighty seeds is planted to
the rod, and when the ground is not
foul. do not cultivate Il until II is
about four nches high. usng three

Il is weedy. Plough the first time as
soon as the broom corn is high
enough to see the row. and after
wards as often as possible. laying 1t
by when the corn is about three feet
high.
Harvesting should begin when the
heads are in yellow bloom, as this in.
sures good quality and color of brush.
II the weather ia perfect leave the
corn on tables in the field one day
after cutting, before seeding. Immedi
ately after threshing, corn should be
placed on shelves from two to three
inches thick, then leave it alone for
three weeks II the weather Is good foI
drying. If not, leave until thorough
/ ly dry.
We prefer TO bulk the corn before
baling as 1t lays much closer in the
bale, takes fewer men, and makes
neater, heavier bales; using five
wires to the bale.
We make a speciality of raising
Australian Broom Corn, and have al
ways received from $500 to 5000
per ton more than the market price
due to the manner of harvesting anC
caring for same.

BROOM MANUFACTURERS WILL.
ING TO PAY HIGHER PRICES
FOR GOOD BROOM CORN.
(By Herbert p. Gardner, Of Gardner
Broom Co., Amsterdam, NJ ~

Farmers stand In their own light
in the way they prepare their broom
corn for market. In the first place,
they are not particular enough with
the seed they select for planting; and
after planting, not enough attention
is paid to cultivation. As a general
rule. later on they are careless about
harvesting their broomcorn. end very
often little of 1t stands in the field
for quite long time, with the result
that lot of red corn Ia produced.
Very many growers think that any.
thing will do as long as it gets into
the bale, paying no attention to the
very important matter OF seeding and
baling. Here is where they make a
very sad mistake. for broomcorn welll
seeded, handled and baled viii bring
from $1,000 to $4,000 more per ton at
all times.
We believe that the broom manufac.
turers will be willing at all times TO
pay the farmers good prices for their
broomcorn If they would be more
careful with 1t. More attention
should be given by the growers, TO
broomcorn seeds, so that their corn
could be properly cured and put in
frat class condition, as the extra
price they would get for their corn
would pay for the sheds. and after
wards these same sheds could be
used for other purposes. such as stor-
ing machinery, wagons. etc.

NEVER PLANT BROOM CORN SEED
UNTIL YOU KNOW IT is GOOD.
tBy VIM. T. Edgar, Areols, my

The ground should be ploughed az
early as possible, and then let the
ground lay until 1t gets warm. Work
II down to fine seed bed, and when
you think It is good enough, go over
1t sgain.
Arrange your planter so that II will
plant forty to sixty seels to the rod.
and never plant any seed until you
know 1t is good. A good plan. is to
take handful of seed and roll 1t in
a wooden rag, put in the warm ground
and in few days you can see how
many seeds have sprouted
In cultivating, take any good cult.
vator and go over the field with three
good shallow cultivators, beginning
when the broom corn Is from four TO
six inches high. and the last time
when 1t is from thirty to thirty-six
inches high.
The brush should be cut when the
seed is In the dough and soft. II the
weather is clear let It have a day or
two OF sun before seeding, then you
can shelve 1t four inches thick. II
It has no sun. about two inches thick.
II should be shelyed when seeded, and
allowed TO set on the shelf until
cured. The length of time required
for curing is governed by the wealth.
er. 1t gives the corn a glossy look IL
you let 1t lay in the bulk for two or
three weeks, but expect the corn in
the southwest will cure quicker than
It will in Illinois.
In saving your own seed. let the
patch get ripe. pick out the long
heads, and shelye it with the seed on
not over one inch thick. Let It set
there for three weeks in good drying
weather, then seed It and put away in
a good place. This method will in.
sure you good seed for the following
season. Experience is the best teach,
er, because there are no two seasons
alike, however, the matter OF good
seed is of very great importance.

THE ABOVE ILLUSTRATION rs
NUMBER THREE, FOUR AND

Number 3 is a stalk of crossed
brush. between Kaffir corn and
Broom Corn. 1t contains very
large, pithy center stem and very
kinky at formation on stalk Kaffir
Corn, Milo Maize, Sorghum and
Broom Corn are all a species that
cross very readily. Growers should
by all means never plant broomcorn
adjoining any of the other feed stuff
mentioned above, or allow volunteer
heads to grow up and bloom, as the
bloomfalls over on the broom corn and
the next year you will see traces Of
the cross between the two species.
Number 4 is crooked and usually
found more or less In oil varieties of
broomcorn. To obtain proper prices
on straight corr, crooked should never
be baled, Only In bales by itself II

as the waste is all the way from 40
per cent to 20 per cent. The price II
sells at barely pays a grower for hand.

Number s, spiky. long stalks, unde-
sirbale and OF no merit 1t is not
worth the freight. Such speary,
spiky. pithy, valueless stuff is a loss
to grower, manufacturer and consum
er.
The cutters or pullers should be in
structed to leave all spiky and short
stuff, as above mentioned, in the field
as every buyer in sizing up quality
he estimates about how much there is
OF such worthless stuff. and bids ac
cordingly.
During the past three years when
the market advanced to very high
prices. II caused some growers to har
vest and market such stuff Buyers
who were not very good judges o.
broom corn paid more than 1t was
worth, but under the usual market
prices, such stuff is worthless, as
there is scarcely any profit thai
would pay the freight on such class
of corn.

THE NATIVES.

The fact that hospital for natives may be established here shows that the government IS at ,as. taxing a real interest in Alask-'s first i.ilabi . tants. The recommendation fir a hospital at Nome probIory meu.s that similar recommendatiol will be rnJ de. or have been made. fo- otlrr p..ris of the territory, and that the poor wrejches who have been brought to the verge of destruction by the march uf civilization may be saved by their former enemy.
 It is passing strange that those amongst us who shout about the mis- cries of the poor whites. and prs,end to swell with indignation at the wrongs inflicted on them. never pa~se tp remember that those who are just as much our brothers are being r.uI- dered by US without mercy. if we were really altruistic should we not feel the pains in d colored body just as much as the bangs in a wh te belly. All "yer Alaska are good man sid1g their lives quietly To the wort 9f sid ing the natives. They have lao ;.uin- pets. no crocodile tears. no Pecssnif- fan snufling. no soap boxes. They only have real charity.
 The number of natives 1T. Alaska about equals the number of w1it,s. Some thirty thousand of them are gradually dying. All the evils n,outn- ed by vaporous reformers beset them They are human beings.
 If We really love our brothers as w, pretend to do. why do We never speak of those who die at our doors: Is IL after all that We only make pretens of trying 10 elevate one part so that We might pull down the other part If wc really wish to raise. the chance is surely at hand.

cOURTSEY TITLES.

Following out the famous phrase of Speaker Reed 10 the effect that "a statesman is a dead politician" We find that many are promoted by dis solution. "Of the dead say nothing but good" is the translation of fa- the past centuries shows us that even in ancient times our forefathers had the sympathy for the under dog which We still manifest when speak ing of the defunct. But everything would be all right If We stopped there. There could be no harm in boosting have passed. You cannot spoil hin any worse than he is. but you certain ly do spoil many live ones by giving them high falutin titles. and. worse still. by giving these titles at the ex- pense of their own professions of which they ought to be proud as long as they practice them.
 As instances of such courtesy titles In addition to Reeds politician. 1t may he mentioned that plain business men become merchants. Lawyers are jur- ists. Reporters are Journalists. Sur veyOrs are engineers. Clerks are sec retaries. Dentists and physicians get the title of doctor. Women are ladies Men are gentlemen. Speech maIcrs are orators. Shippers are captains. Most people are judges or colonels md the few that are left are somethl' z else, or will be if they live long enough.
 Eastern people arc fond of burles .I- ing the papers of the Western srnail town and their propensity for ilnns their columns with titles, but the wise city people. if placed in the same po- sition themselves, would soon toe the line. Some irate gentleman could York Herald to roast him for c1,,iry his wife a woman or himself man much as the disgraceful appell.tions might rankle in their outraged bo.cms Nor WOuiu tne edltOr or the New York World feel particularly the ven- Eeance of the man he dared to call q lawyer and not a jurist.
