stems, do not pack tightly together.
The kafir heads are more slender, and
the straight stem is still green and
somwhat juicy when the grain is ripe.
This crop is more likely to heat, there
fore, when piled in quantity.
Headed kafir or milo may be sold
or fed in the head. or the heads may
be ground into head chops, or they
may be threshed and only the grain
used. The threshed grain should
never be fed whole, but always ground
coarsely, in which form it is known
as kafir or milo chops.
Storing.
One of the problems in connection
with the use of these grains is in the
storage of the heads or threshed grain
or chops. Like corn, they may get
out of condition and become damaged
II special care is not taken. Cribs
and bins used for storing the heads
should wen ventilated. They
should be examined from time to time
to make sure that the contents are not
being damaged by heating.
The grain should always be allowed
to become thoroughly cured before
threshing or grinding. In ordinary
threshing a high percentage Of the
grain is cracked. Cracked grain will
absorb moisture and spoil more read
lily than whole grain. Great care
should be taken to crack as little as
possible in threshing. The proportion
of cracked kernels can be much de.
| creased by reducing the speed of the
cylinder or by removing part of the
concaves
The grain should be thoroughly dry
before being stored in bins and II
should be watched while storage con
tinues. The average moisture content
of sorghum grain is not as high as
that of corn. This Is due partly, per
haps, to its being produced in dry dis
tricts. Nevertheless. when the water
content is above normal they will heat
readily If not carefully handled. Elk
cessive moisture content is probably
the most common cause of damage.

TREES PLANTED IN THE FALL
Those Planted in the Spring
and Winter.

Trees and shrubs planted in the
fall make a better growth the first
summer than those planted in the
winter and spring. This is a fact that
has long been known by tree planters
Investigations by the Missouri expert
ment station show that the growth
of a tree set in the fall is better than
that of one set in the spring by from
% to 100 per cent.
The chief reasons for this differ
ence in favor of early planting are the
solid packing the soil around the roots
and the early callousing of the cut
surfaces. Both these are essential as
preliminaries to growth. Buds on
spring planted trees swell before the
roots start. and seemingly the tree
loses no time. but as a matter of fact
growing cannot really begin till the
roots have started. They must send
up to the trunk and branches sap. and
this can be done only when roots have
taken hold of the earth so that a lib
eral supply Of sap may be furnished
from below to replenish that stored
in the tree which tends to flow up
ward with the coming of spring.
Therefore it is well to plant trees as
early in the fall and winter as they
can be had in good condition from
the nurseries.-Southland Farmer.

HINTS FOR THE POULTRYMAM
Fifteen Practical Suggestions on Care
of Eggs and Attention Necessary
for the Flock.

1. Do not keep mongrel stock.
2. Do not allow the nests to become
filthy.
3. Separate the laying hens from the
sitting hens.
4. Gather the eggs at least every
day, better twice day during very
warm weather.
s. Keep all eggs in dry. COOL well
ventilated place.
6. Do not keep eggs in kitchen
near a fire of any kind.
Z. Never wash eggs. as 1t spoils
their keeping qualities.
s. Do not sell eggs case count. "
but demand that your eggs be candled.
9. II is best to market the eggs
every three days in warm weather.
10. Do not market eggs that have
been placed in an incubator and can
died out.
IL. Do not market small. inferior
and dirty eggs. Use this kind at home
IL. Eggs readily absorb odors and
should be kept away from anything
such as OIL onions or any material
that has a strong odor.
10 Separate the male birds from the
flock as soon as the Matching season is
over.
IA. Eggs that are of questionable
quality, such as those secured from
stolen nests. ought not to be marketed
as fresh eggs.
Is. When taking eggs to market II
is better to keep them covered rather
than to expose them to the suns rays

been illustrated by mating a half Po-

The pigs resulting from the cross were

tPrepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricultural
AS moldy or wormy heads, or musty
and weeviled sorghum grain will not
be palatable to stock any more than
corn or oats in the same condition,
the proper harvesting and storing of
these grains is very important to the
grower who is to use them for feed
on his own farm. II the grains are
intended for market II is obvious that
to bring the best prices they must be
brought to market in as nearly prime
condition as is possible.
In Farmers Bulletin No. 6S6, Uses
OF Sorghum GRAIN" the cereal experts,
especially those who have been spe-
cializing on the sorghums, offer the
following directions for the prepare

only as a maintenance ration for
horses not at work or cattle not pro-

One problem in the handling of
grain sorghum when the crop is head

of the heads. Usually these heads
are thrown out in long. shallow piles

or II 1t is wet from recent rains.
This is a satisfactory way of curing
