ronomist. Montana Experiment stn-
Two types of sorghum do well in
regions of light precipitation The
sweet or saccharine sorghum is per.
haps grown more for It's sugar con.
tent than for forage purposes, while
the nonsaccharine is known primarily
as a fodder. Under the latter group
are milo maize and kafir corn.
The method of preparing the seed
bed for sorghum does not differ ma.
terially from that Tor corn. If the
land is to be plowed in the spring It
must be turned over to a depth OF
about six or seven inches. The land
should then be disceG and narrowed
once or twice, when the seed may
be sown.
If 1t is desirable to secure crop
OF seed. we usually drill the seed in
at the rate of six TO seven pounds per
acre. Some farmers seem to have
secured better results by drilling
sorghum with the corn planter, plac-
ing the rows about three and a half
feet apart and the seeds from four
to eight inches apart in the row. A
large amount of seed is used when
the grain is broadcasted, and 1t Is
customary to put in about Is pounds
per acre. This amount will vary
with the character of the soil and
season. II there is any danger OF
any OF the seeds rotting allowance
for this should be made and larger
amount per acre put on; also IL
some OF the seeds do not terminate
1t VIII mean that more seed must
be used.
Sorghum is not sown until quite
late in the season, or until the soil
has warmed up quite thoroughly. The
plant is very tender, and II the soil
happens to be very wet and cold the
seed VIII not germinte, and the
young plant will not grow
The best results have always been
secured by the use of fresh seed. It
loses its vitality very quickly, and II
old seed is used, good results are not
always obtained.
II the sorghum is drilled the sub.
sequent care win be the same as that
for corn, but il 1t is broadcasted IL
receives but little care until time for
harvest However, harrc7.iaz ..I<ne
diately after seeding and just as the
grass comes through the soil will
keep down weeds and also aid In
forming a mulch which will help to
conserve moisture
II forage crop is to be secured
the grain should be cut before the
full blooming period is reached and
only one crop secured In a season.
The crop, If cut with binder, IS
handled in much the same way as
small grain. To secure crop of seed
do not harvest until the grain is
In the milk or hard dough stage. The
plant is used almost exclusively TO
secure the crop OF seed. The bun.
dies are placed in shocks and allowed
to dry. when they are threshed with
the common threshing machine. II
Is not customary to allow the entire
bundle to pass through the thresher,
but to thrust the heads into the cylin-
der and then remove the other por
tions. This will not break up the
stalks. and as result some good
fodder may be secured.

KEEP MULCH AT ALL TIMES
Principal Factors In Preparing str,.
age for Water Are Cultivation
and Deep Flowing. -

=
Most OF the farmers In this section
practice dry farming. but in my
opinion less than third of the land
farmed is cultivated according to dry
farming methods. The term dry
farming. as | understand 1t, is farm.
ing and growing crops ON arid lands
where precipitation is SO light that
special methods must be adopted for
success. Many farmers will always
adopt the best methods which have
proven of advantage to themselves by
observing the failures and successes
of others. The average annual rain
fall in this section of North Dakota
is twenty Inches. so that some sys
tenn OF conserving moisture must be
practiced, Where land is summer
fallowed and allowed to remain idle
every other season. consider 32t
acres very good size for the dry
farm, while 160 acres will furnish
plenty of work where crops are TO
tated and the land is utilized eact
season. The latter plan I look upor
as being the most favorable and EN-
ploy it on my farm.
In my experience / find that the
very best soil for dry farming is
chocolate-colored loan, with potash
limestone and other soil ingredients
writes e. D. Baker of Morton county
s. d.. in the Orange Judd Farmer. The
necessary equipment for managing the
farm are plow, a disk harrow, a
drag, disk press drill and a culti
yator For wheat growing upon dry
farm land that is rotated, spring
plowing is the best. / usually make
1t rule 10 get out in the field just
as soon as the frost goes out OF the
ground. Where land is summer fal
lowed plowing is done during the
month of June, as there is usually
enough moisture In the ground al
that time, to stir the soil without
turning up clods, and late plowina
also has the effect OF destroying
weeds which draw heavily on soil
moisture. Deep plowing is always
preferable, but the depth will depend
upon the soil type.
The principal factors in preparing
storage for water are cultivation in
summer, breaking the top crust and
keeping the ground from cracking. In
winter the field should be left in
stubble in order to hold snow and pre-
vent plowlng. Deep plowing acts as
a sponge and allows the moisture TO
be taken and prevents 1t from being
evaporated or from running on !
do not recommend deep plowing on
lands that have a shallow surface
soil In case weeds get started on
summer falIowed land during wet
seasons, | recommend plowing the
second time. When plowing al
ways aim to do good work and get
straight and evenly turned burrows Of
uniform depth. Each furrow is turned
over against the previous one so that
there Is an air space between the
furrows. Skips are entirely absent
and no cuts or uncovered places exist
All rubbish and grass are completely
covered and the soil is stirred TO a
sufficient depth that is of best advan
tage to the crop grown.

COST OF MARKETABLE MILK

What is going to become of this
years crop of babies?
Are we going to raise so per cent
of the crop, as we did last year, or
are we going to pay as much sclen-
tiic attention to them as we do TO
our crop of pigs and calves?
If our farmers or stock raisers
should find that half of the pigs or
calves that are born this year were
dying there would be reams written
on the subject, and 1t is very proba-
BILE that one of our multi-millionaires
would endow a foundation to look
into the matter, but no one worries
over the little human life that is be-
ing snuffed out every minute.
Every mother should understand
that for the next three months her
baby's life is in her hands. Upon her
it depends to a great extent whether
it will be one of the so per cent. to
live or the 30 per cent. to die.
The most important thing to con-
slider during the coming summer Is
the baby's diet If the mother Is
able to nurse her baby it should have
no other food for the first six
months of it's life until after she
weans it.
Statistics tell us that fifteen bottle
babies die in summer TO one breast
fed baby, and mothers should appre-
ciate this fact when bottle feeding Is
contemplated.

I diarrhoea more often than any other
cause in a breast-fed baby.
You can spoil the best breast milk
in the world by giving the mother
too rich food, alcoholic tones and
checking the normal exercise.
Don't let anyone persuade you that
beer drinking makes a large quantity
and good quality of milk, for it does
not. =
A nursing mother should drink
plenty of pure water and there is
nothing better for a nursing mother
than plenty of pure milk If 1t agrees
with her.
Green vegetables are also good Cor
the mother in most cases.
A nursing mother should never take
opiates or drugs except under .he
I advice of 8. physician.
Do not drink strong tea or coffee.
The breasts should be washed with
pure water after each nut sing.
Don't put baby to br-as. every
time it cries, and do not let it nurse
over twenty minutes each time. Ii
a. child cries during the first few
days of it's life it Is perfectly natural
and it is not hungry if you sbave fed
/ 1t according to rule.
After the third day. during the first
month your baby should be nursed
/ every two hours and half: from
/ the sixth week to the third month
eight musings two and ione-half hours
apart and one at night From the
third to the fifth month the baby
should be nursed every three hours
during the day
You see, nature has provided a
regime that will give the mother plen-
ty of spare time to herself If She
follows 1t.
Don't trust to instinct and the low
ing mother heart" THE scientific
care of babies is no m2re instructive
with women than any other business;
it must be learned and learned care
fully if we would have better babies.
