BE Careful Of Stalk Fields

desire to warn all TO be careful
in feeding fodder this fall and winter.
When corn, kafir, sorghum, and milo
are stunted by drouth, as they have
been this year, there developes in the
stalk some deadly poison that acts
very much like Prussic acid. In fact
the action is almost identical. But
whatever the poison may be it is very
volatile and passes entirely out Of the
stalks when they are well cured. The
fodder when well dried and aired is as
good as any and perfectly safe. 1t may
be that It requires more of it, but 1t is
harmless and nutritious. 1t is best to
cut and cure all of it as it will feed
to better advantage. 1t can also be
fed sooner, Stalk fields this year may
be dangerous at times until about jar
uary. There is as yet no way to de-
termine the presence of this poison or
the period of danger.-John V. Hum

If the crop has been cut with a
binder the bundles are put In shocks
and allowed to cure for two weeks
before the grain is threshed. Kafir
differs from most of the other sor-
ghums in that the stalks and leaves
remain green until after the grain is
ripe. For this season kafir requires
a longer time to cure either in the
bundle or head than other grain sor-
ghums.

Food for Man.

For many years farmers here and
there have had kafir made into meal
at their local mills and have used the
meal in making batter cakes and sim
liar foods. More recently expert
ments conducted Comparatively by the
Bureau of Plant Industry and the
Kansas State Agricultural College
have shown that the meal can be
used in much the same way as corn
meal. Mixed with wheat flour in
suitable proportions 1t can be used
very acceptably in great variety of
dishes. This meal is now regularly
manufactured and sold by one firm in
the Southwest. The kafir grain can
also be used as pop corn.

Storing.

Since the grain in bulk heats 80
rapidly great care must be used in
storing it. AS previously stated, It
should be thrashed only when fully
ripe and thoroughly dry. The bins
are not likely to be large or very
tightly constructed. If large guam
tity is to be binned, however, it may
be necessary to provide for some
means of ventilating the center of the
mass. This can be done by means of
a wooden pipe or long. narrow
wooden box. perforated at intervals.
built through the center of the bin and
opening outside. The openings should
be covered by a heavy wire screen.

When the heads alone are harvest
ed they should be spread in thin lay
ers or windows to dry before being
bulked or threshed. Kafir heads
heat very quickly if put in large bulk
while green or damp. The loss caus-
ed by heating is sometimes very great.

Famous Books Despised by Their Authors

tn HE first edition of Browning's

for $4,000, yet not only did
Browning receive nothing for it orig

1t from print if it had been possible.
Yet so highly did Rossetti think of
this despised masterpiece that, not
being able to find a copy elsewhere
he went to the British Museum Ii
brary and spent several laborious
days copying it word for word,
Mrs. Browning was so careless as
to the fate of her works that it is
wonder that any of them have sur
vived. Indeed, if it had not been for
doting father before marriage and
devoted husband after marriage, it
is possible that the published works
