FOOD SUPPLY FOR CHICKENS
kaflr and Milo Are spIendIdIy Adapt
ed for Feeding to All Poultry
Use With Other Grains.

Katir and milo are splendidly adapt.
ed, both In size and composition, for
feeding to all classes of poultry. In
many parts of the country, far outside
OF the grain-sorghum belt, small
patches Of kafir, durra, or other chick
en- corn" are commonly grown on the
fafG, simply to furnish chicken feed.
In 1898 there were more than 100
firms engaged in the manufacture Of
over 200 brands Of poultry feed. Fig.
ures furnished by 33 of these firms
show an annual output at that time of
about 10000 tons of these products
approximately 10000 tons, or one,
third Of this total, consisted of the
seed Of Blackhull kaflr. This was most.
ly used In mixture with other grains
such as corn, wheat. screenings, etc.
1t Is probably a conservative esti,
mate that kafir or milo seed forms
fully ~ per cent of the prepared poul.
try food sold in this country. So strong
Is the demand for these grains by the
manufacturers Of poultry food that
similar varieties have been imported
from as far away as India, when the
crop In this country was shoit Con.
siderable quantities were 30 imported

DEPLETION OF COTTON SOIL
Fault Solely Due to Fact That Plant
Food Has Not Been Replaced by
Use Of Fertilizers.

We hear more or less Of how cotton
has depleted the soils Of the South and
this story is still goins the rounds.
While Il Ia true, In connection with the
statement, another should be made In
explanation, ara that Is that cotton
has depleted t soil solely because
IA. i plant food taken from 1t by the
cotton was not made good by appli-
cation of fertilizers, and not because
cotton In hard on the land. Az mat
ter OF fact. 1t draws less on the chem
icals of the soil than most crops
What applies to the depleted soils OF
the South applies to soils everywhere.
II they are cropped without regard to
the proper feeding Of the soil and q
rotation of crops. no matter what the
crop may be. they will be depleted as
the cotton fields have been In sections
of the South.
True, we have learned much about
the needs Of the soil during late years,
but we are still inclined to draw too
heavily ON the stored-up plant food,
and disinclined to replenish that plant
food by application OF the proper fer
tilixer. II 10 all very we'll to obtain
nitrogen by the blowing under Of leg
umes and to get the potash in the
soil free by cultivation. but this will
not give crops for an indefinite period
n wa continue to take from the soil in
excess OF what we return to 1t. II we
would learn to fertilize on the princi-
pie Of giving the soil what the crop
needs plus a little more to increase
the stored-up quantity. we would have
a fertile soil at all times.

London, England.-With the fall OF
Przemysl, although this does not ap-
Bear to be the limit Of their efforts
against the Russians In Galicia, the
Germans have again turned their at
tention to the western front and sim
ultaneously with the news Of the ar
rival of German achievements In
Flanders and the province OF Artois,
France, come official reports Of their
attacks on positions recently captured
by the British and French.
They have succeeded In recovering
some trenches taken by the British
northeast OF Givenchy and have
stormed the chateau in the village Of
HODGE. part Of which the British still
hold, although for time the Brit
ish were compelled to evacuate the
building which they had captured

claim to be In possession Of the sugar
refinery at Souchez, the loss Of which
they have not previously acknow.
lodged.
While these In themselves are con-
sidered small matters In military cir
cles here, they are believed to be the
forerunners Of resumption Of fight

FEEDING SILAGE TO HORSES
Il Can Be Done to Advantage II OF
Good Quality and Free From All
Moldy or Decayed Material.

Silage of good quality. absolutely
free from moldy or decayed material.
may be fed to good advantage to
horses and mules in connection with
other foods. according to John C.
Burns, professor Of animal husbandry
at Texas A. and M. college.
"As much as ten to fifteen pounds
per 900 of live weight may be fed per
day to horses and mules" says Pro-
lessor Burns. 1T is of the utmost I'M
portance, however. that the silage be
of the best quality. We have had a
number OF reports of bad results from
feeding silage to horses and mules.
but In every case 1t has been possible
to trace the trouble to feeding spoiled
silase."
