SORGHUM GROWN IN r FARMING ooUN
TRY.
large percentage Of the stalks were an
inch in diameter. Sorghum is allowed
to ripen seed and is then cut rather
close to the ground and put In small
open shocks. When the blades are
thoroughly cured it may be hauled in
and set up in NOW or shed and will
keep perfectly until New Years or
longer. 1t is not wise to try to keep it
late In the winter since after a time
the juice gets soul II the sorghum is
stored in a damp place. or IL kept very
dry the stalks become woody and less
palatable.
Sorghum is frequently sown with cow
peas and cut and cured for hay. 1t is
sometimes planted quite thickly in the
drill and cut and shocked as described.
After some experience with all these
methods, however. / feel sure that the
best plan is to give 1t plenty of room
to make big. juicy stalks. All kinds of
live stock are fond Of these. and they
are fine feed for cattle and hogs. A
few stalks a day are splendid for
horses and mules that are being fat
tened, and hogs will chew them with
the greatest relish. l do not believe.
however, that 1t pays to grow sorghum
for fattening hogs to gather In the
field. They have to work too hard to
get the stalks broken down.
OF course sorghum Is a very one
sided feed and should not be made the
whole forage ration for any sort Of
young stock. 1t is very rich In carbo-
hydrates and low in protein and should
be fed with care to horses and prop
erly balanced with more heterogeneous
feeds for all animals. So fed. however.
1t Is excellent and should be more gen
orally grown. In a dry season ! be-
lieve sorghum will give more feed to
the acre than almost any crop that can
be grown. and 1t has the ability to
make a yield on lands too poor to pro-
duce a crop of corn. TO do its best.
however. 1t must have just such a soil
as corn ~needs-deep. loose. rich. well
filed with stable manure or other vege-

fearful Statesmen.


There vas a time when English
statesmen wept upon small provoca-
ton. Pepys makes frequent reference
to this weakness. while the story Of
the long parliament as written by
D'Ewes gives tire impression that the
legislators Of that day were ~singularly
prone to tears. They wept on the
slightest ~provocation. and sometimes
their excessive grief was so noisy that
proceedings had to be stayed until the
lachrymose lawmakers could compose
themselves.

Getting Into Hard Soil.

In raising a good crop IT must be
conceded that traction farming is far
ahead of farming done with animal
power. 1t is a we'll known fact and all
agricultural authorities agree that deep
blowing and the packing Of the subsoil
produce a better crop than il possible
with the ordinary method Of shallow
blowing. 1t Is almost an impossibility
to plow deep with horses and the com
mon horse pillow because the entire out
at is too light to get down into the
hard soil. On the other hand. an en-
CINE is heavy and strong enough to be
forced deep enough to secur good re-
suits. At the same time 1t is far cheap
er to pillow with an engine than 1t Is to
pillow with horses.-American Agricul-

SORGHUM FOR FORAGE.

Last fall in passing through middle

amount Of sorghum cane grown for

fields in which corr had been left un'

cut and shocked. This was surprising

value Of this crop for winter feeding,

feet apart and cultivated like corn.
Thus planted the stalks attain consid-
cradle size. In many fields the shocks
