prevent its being eaten with as much
relish as the finer stemmed varieties.
That a large quantity Of fine quakty
hay can be obtained by growing millet
and cutting when the seed is in the
early dough stage is admitted by all,
and owing to the difficulty Of main
tanning live stock In many sections,
because Of the scarcity and high price
of hay, it is surprising that this crop
Is not more extensively cultivated.
Timothy hay, for instance, which is
regarded as the standard, contains
6.8 per cent of protein, 23.5 per cent
of fiber, 51.7 per cent of fat. Hum
garian grass contains 81 per cent OF
protein, 80 per cent Of fiber, $751; per
cent OF nitrogen free extract, and 2.S
per cent of fat. Millet hay, If prop
erly made an0 cured, thus contains
more nutriment per ton than timothy
and 1t is generally recognized that mil
let can be cultivated successfully on
thousands Of acres Of land to which
timothy is not at all adapted. More
over, there is marked divergence be-
tween the yieldsSof the two crops, as
IL is not unusual to obtain from three
to Ave tons Dr. cured millet hay, as
compared with one or two tons of
timothy. The value of millet hay will,
OF course, depend somewhat on the
variety sown, the richness of the soil
and the thickness of seeding. Thick
seeding 10 desirable with millet,
though we prefer to plant in drills
rather than scatter the seed broad
cast. II the millet is not seeded
thickly, the stalks become coarse and
are not well relished BY live stock,
fact which should not be overlooked.
Since such large yields may be OBJ
tanned with millet in the south, even
though the crop may draw heavily on
the plant food In the soil, it would
bring a sufficient revenue to justify
the heavy application of commercial
fertilizers, and where proper crop
rotation is pursued, there should not
be serious difficulty in maintaining the
fertility of the land.
Miliet should be seeded at the nate
of forty to sixty pounds per acre
drilled in and covered with harrow.
From thirty to forty bushels OF millet
seed may be obtained per acre, and

MUCH DEPENDS ON SEED BED
Farmer Who Looks for Good Stand Of
Alfalfa Must Prepare Ground
Properly Before Planning.

A good stand of alfalfa is depend
emit largely upon the preparation of
the seed bed. A good seed bed con-
sists of a firm, well-settled soil hav-
ing a mellow. wellsettled soil hav-
surface. A seed bed of this nature
allows free movement Of the capillary
water from the subsoiI. and at the
same time allows for proper root
hold.
If q field is plowed and worked just
before planting, the soil will not come
into close contact with the seed. and
will not supply enough moisture for
the germ to grow well. Also, the
plant will not get firm root hold.
For spring planting, seed bed pre-
pared In the fall is better than one
prepared in the spring, for consider
able time is required to store mois-
ture. and to nberate plant food. Sim
ply disking corn-stubble land in the
spring. makes fairly good seed bed.
If the land cannot be plowed in the
fall. disking in the spring is better
than spring blowing II the land is
plowed in the fall for spring planting,
the ground should be allowed to lie
rough over winter. and then should be
worked into good condition with the
disk and harrow.
Another good method of preparing
the seed bed for spring planting is to
piow the land in the fall or spring and
cultivate IL sufficfanflv thereaftar to
kill the weeds and keep up a good
soil mulch. The seed may be planted
late in the spring when the soil is
moist and weather conditions are IA
vorable. This method Is especially
adapted to parts of the country
where conditions are too dry for al
falfa to start readily.

Where Feed Is Scarce and Prices

(By 4. M. soULE.)

Millet can frequently be grown as a
catch crop when other important
crops have failed. AS most varieties
of this crop natures In from sixty to
ninety days it can often follow wheat
or other winter cereals. There are
many varieties Of millet on the mar
ket, but only few Of these show
exceptional merit. Among the best
varieties are German, Japanese and
Hungarian, which made in recent
tests, an average yield Of hay Of 1886,
ESQ and 2,42 tons. respectively The
principal objection to the Japanese is
