cooperating with the Agricultural Col
lege than l have during any similar
period heretofore" His success has
been largely due to the growing of i'm
proved varieties OF the crops that are
best adapted to growing on the types
of soils on his farm. On the upland,
kafir is the main crop while on the
creek bottom land, corn, alfalfa, and
potatoes are the principal ones. The
best methods of seed bed preparation
and cultivation are used
Mr.. Johnson obtained an average
yield of sixty bushels of kafir an acre
in 1911, on a seventeen acre field.
From the four best acres, Mr.. John
son obtained net return of $40 an
acre. The variety grown was a pure
bred strain of Blackhull White kafr,
obtained from the agricultural college.
This kafir was all sold as seed at two
cents pound.

Corn is the most important Amer.
lean cereal. 1t was not known to the
civilized world before the discovery
of the western continent, but because
of its value as food for man and for
live stock it has come to occupy its
present Importance. In localities
where corn thrives well it will pro.
duce a much larger amount of food
per acre than any other cereal, and
it is now grown extensively over all
known regions that are adapted for
it's best development.

THE SORGHUM CROPS FOR SILAGE-
EXPERIMENTS WITH DAIRY CATTLE
Results Of Some Interesting Tests the State Agricultural College
Comparisons Made Between Cane and Corn Siage
as Producers Of Milk and
Butter Fat.


q ORGHUM CROPS, both the sac
~ charine and non-saccharine
can be used for silage with
good results. The corn plant has con-
siderable prestige as a silage crop, and
1t has been more generally used for
this purpose than any other crop. In
fact, its use has become so general
that some of the farmers and stock
men have believed that it was the
only crop fit to be used for silage.
Two years ago the Dairy Depart
ment of the Kansas Agricultural Col
lege planned an experiment to deter
mine the value Of sorghums for ST.
lage. In most parts of Kansas the
yield Of the sorghums, such as katir
and sweet sorghum, is great deal
larger than that of corn, and some
seasons the yield is several times
larger per acre. 1t was thought that
If these crops could be made into
silage they would be of particular ad-
vantage to the farmers and stockmen
Of western Kansas, where they have
difficulty in getting a crop of corn.
The first sorghum crop put in the
silo was the sweet sorghum, which is
commonly called cane. Previous ex-
periments with this crop, and the ex-
perience Of some farmers, has given
the general impression that the cane
contains too much sugar, and that ST.
lage made from 1t would be very sour
and stock would not eat it. Our re-
suits the first year show that silage
made from the cane did not contain
as much acid at any time during the
year as did the silage made from
corn. This, of course, is quite con-
trary to the belief heretofore held by
many, but it is easily explained after
a little thought and investigation.
Where cane had been made into ST.
lage it had been put up entirely too
early. Those who tried it had put it
into the silo at the same time that
they cut their corn for silage. At
this stage of maturity the cane con-
tains entirely too much moisture or
sap, and if put up at this time it is
certain to result in sour silage. The
cane was not put up until three weeks
after the corn silage was made. At
this time the cane seed was hard, but
the stalk was well filled with sap,
yet it did not contain an excess of
moisture. The cane used in this ex-
pertinent was grown on upland soil
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1913-06-05

on the college farm. One-third Of the
field was drilled and another third
was listed in. The remainder of the
field was in corn. The drilled cane
made 1875 tons of silage per acre, the
listed cane tons, and the corn made
. tons per acre.
In the fall of 1912 one silo was
nlled with cane, one with kafir, and
one with corn. The following YIELDS
were obtained this year: Corn, IL
tons Of silage per acre; cane, so
tons, and kafir, TONS The yield of
kafir was not representative one.
The season of 1912 was not a good
season for kafir and the early frost
cut down the yield considerably.
Here, again, we had the same results
with the cane as we had previously.
1t made good quality of silage, and
after analyzing the different silages
for acidity, it was found that the cane
silage did not contain as much acid
as the corn silage at any time during
the winter.
In the first years experiment, cane
silage was compared with corn silage
as a feed for dairy cows giving milk.
Two lots of four cows were selected
from the herd for the experiment.
These lots were handled in the fol-
lowing manner: Lot l. was fed for
the first twenty days on corn silage.
The second twenty days, latter a pc
riod Of ten days intervening) they
were fed on cane silage, and the third
twenty days they were changed back
to corn silage. Lot II. was fed cane
silage for the first period, corn silage
during the second period, and again
changed to cane silage during the
third period. 1t was planned to get
a direct comparison of these two
feeds by comparing the average of
the first and third periods with the
SECOND period in each case. The
cows gradually decline in milk flow
and the average production of the
first and third periods would be about
equal to the production of the second
period. These COWS were fed a grain
and hay ration in addition to the ST.
lage. The hay ration was kept con-
slant and the amount fed was based
on what the COWS would consume.
The grain ration was fed in proNor-
ton to the amount of milk produced.
The following table gives the re-
suits of the experiment:

TEA TABLE BISCUITS
IN ALL SORTS OF FORMS THEY
ARE IN HIGH FAVOR.
May Be Served In Whatever Manner
the Hostess Desires, and VIII Be
Appreciated = Some Ideas
That May Be Useful.

The housewife who understands
how to make baking-powder biscuit,
fiaky inside and crusty out, has an
unlimited number of possibilities at
her command. For the afternoon tea
table these tiny biscuits are in high
favor and appear in many guises.
Rolled almost as this as a cooky,
sprinkled with grated cheese and
baked for about five minutes in a
moderate oven, they furnish an ac-
ceptable accompaniment for either
tea or coffee. Boiled equally thin and
spread with a mixture of sugar and
cinnamon, moistened with melted but
te:, these crisp bits have a suggestion
OF the much liked cinnamon bread.
A raisin is a good center decoration,
or a few currants can be used in
stead.
For the hostess who likes bit Of
novelty, what is sometimes called a
double biscuit" is an excellent ad-
dition to the afternoon tea table.
After cutting the biscuit into thin
rounds, put half teaspoonful of jam
or marmalade in the center of half
the number and cover with the re-
naming halves. Let the filling be
kept well in the center, so that in
baking 1t will not ooze out. Served
fresh from the oven, these are de-
licious little mouthfuls. A light
spreading of honey can be used in the
same way, or cream cheese, softened
sufficiently, offers another change.
The same biscuit dough, made soft
enough to come under the heading Of
a drop batter" can be used for the
filling of tiny patty pans and baked
as one would little cakes. These bis
cults, so baked, have a delicious guam
tity of crust, and their cunning size
always attracts attention from guests
who see them served for the first
time. Sets of these diminutive cake
tins can be found in various sizes,
the preferred style being arranged for
the taking of cake or biscuit scarce
ly more than an inch in diameter.
The tins with 1uted edges are espe-
cially good for the making of these
little biscuits.
With the same combination of in
gradients an appetizing bouchee is
easily possible. Make the biscuit OF
suitable size and so that when baked
1t will be about an inch thick With
a pair of scissors clip away a bit of
the top crust, and in the cavity place
a dot of rich preserve. Leave unccv-
cred, so that the bit of colored filling
may show prettily. A single pre-
served strawberry is the best for this
purpose, Not new, but always accept
able, are biscuits of this description,
with sufficient of the inside crumb re-
moved to allow of a teaspoonful of
richly dressed chicken or lobster
salad. A faxed sardine filling is also
good, with just squeeze of lemon
juice to each portion.
