KAFFIR CORN FOR DRY LAND
Crop Finds It's Greatest Uso on Farms
Where Grown When Fed TO Horses,
Hogs and ~ Stock.

Though more or less OF a novelty in
he east. Kafir corn IL coming to be
the staple crop in the middle west.
where the seasons are long enough
to mature 1t, says the Farm and Fire
side. From July l. 1912, to March l.
1913. 331 cars of Kaffir corn were in
spected in Chicago. Most of this was
used for making poultry food, the
three largest manufacturers using an
average of about 20,00O,000 pounds
month. This year the yield is 30 much
greater that the poultry manufactur-
ing trade cannot use the entire crop.
and concerns making various mixed
feeds will become users OF 1t.
Kansas and Oklahoma are the prin-
cipal Kaffir growing states, but Texas
comes in for some recognition. as do
also parts of New Mexico and Colo
RADIO. 1t is probable that with further
selection Of the present varieties kaf-
FIR can be profitably grown both far
ther north and east. The black-hulled
white and the dwarf black-hulled are
the principal varieties.
Kafiir finds it's greatest use on the

the horses and hogs in the head or.
II threshed and ground. to all stock.
With the use OF combination grinders
Kafiir can be ground in the head, and
thus fed without threshing. In any
case 1t has to be balanced with pro.
tein feed, like cottonseed. to give the
best results. In some cases kaffir mas
been hogged down with good results,
but milo, its side partner is better for
this purpose.
Kaffir is the one crop that the farmer
In the drier parts Of the west can
plant and be assured that he can use
whether it natures or not. 1t may be
cut for forage after frost and still
be good feed. and II 1t does not seed
the fodder is still good. We have
known farmers to plant Kafiir for fod'
der where they had no hope of getting
seed. and they felt they had the best
feed they could possibly grow. Many
farmers prefer Kaffir fodder to alfalfa
for horses and cows. We have known
horses to do their spring and summer
work on Kafiir fodder and come
through in fairly good condition.
Kafiir can be ground into excellent
flour for making pancakes, muffins
doughnuts and pastry.

trees chiefly for ornamental purposes.
while forest planting indicates the
planting of trees in stands of consider
able size, in which forest conditions
are sought.
In the farming districts Of the east
where almost every farmer has pre-
served small bit of the original for

is very general lack of appreciation OF
the necessity for utilizing these wood.
lots to the best advantage. and OF the
methods by which this may be accom-.
plished Much may be done by man
agement, which consists largely h.
careful cutting that will keep the Sor
est cover intact, and in removing tead
any dying and inferior trees. Planting.
however, is very generally needed in
order to hasten the restocking of
woodlots with valuable species. One
Of the fundamental principles Of for
estry is that the trees in stand must
be sufficiently close together to. be
mutually helpful; that Is. that their
crowns must form continuous cover
to shade the ground and the tree
trunks, In order that side branches
may be self-pruned and the trees be
forced into straight upward growth.
Where there are open spaces they
should be planted, and where 1t is de-
sirable to cut a portion Of woodlot
clean much time can be saved by
planting instead Of waiting for natural
reproduction. On many farms the
tract now occupied by the woodlot
would be more valuable for crops,
while on the same farm there may be
an irregular plat of land or a piece of
worn-out or rocky land upon which 1t
would be wise to plant trees. Plant
ing is also valuable to check erosion.

gram TO New York World and Omaha
Bee. 1.-THE Germans. advancing directly
from Thorn along both banks Of the
vistula, have gained points within a few
marches OF Warsaw. and are stu forcing
their way along by direct fighting.
The Russians are continuing their
steady penetration OF East Prussia, and
200 miles to the south the Russian left
Is investing cracow. This Is about all
correspondents here are permitted to
know.
The situation Is precisely that OF the
anxious periods which preceded the de-
feats of the Germans on the Nieman and
before Warsaw.
Where the main Russian forces are and
what the strategic plan ia now in course
OF execution can not even be guessed,
but the Importance OF that, which is now
in preparation. far exceeds anything that
has gone before.
What object the Germans have TO attain
by their headiong charge upon Warsaw.
from a military point OF view, is diff
cult to understand.
1t Is a move that perhaps may be
utilized powerfully from poilliCdi poihN
OF view. Germany has set Turkey upon
the Russian rear and is straining every
nerve by methods of bribery OF the press
and the manipulation OF public operation
and other methods to force several
Balkan states into conflict against Rus
STA. but principally Germany ID suspected
now OF desiring TO gain some advantage
which. reported. in customary Germanlc
coloT1ng, may suffice to bring Sweden
into the arena.
So far as known the Russians are relying
on fighting before the second German in
vaslon and will continue to retire until
the place fixed upon by Grand Duke
Nicholas for the final effort is reached.
When the ven is lifted. which now con-
ceals the entire theater of war on this
front, II will once more show that the
Germans have been outwittei by tho
strategy OF the grand duke.
