FORAGE CROPS FOR CATTLE.
Few Realize the Value OF German
Millet as u Feed.

MllIet as u tecu.
Stock BcctS.-Though stock beets
are grown very little in South Caro-
lima, they are an excellent feed for
the dairy COW, as they furnish q sue
culent feed during fall and winter
months when other green feed is
scarce. They should be planted in
two and a half to three foot rows, us
ing about six pounds of seed per acre.
The seed germinate faster If soaked
for about "a hours in water just be-
fore planting. Planting should be
done from late March to the last OF
May, and in July and August, though
the early paintings do best. Plant on
we'll pulveriZed land, using about 500
pounds OF fertilizer per acre, applied
in the drill. The plants should be
thinned to every Ia or 16 inches in
the drill Frequent shallow cultiya-
ton Is necessary.
Crops of SO tons per acre have
been produced with the Mammoth
Long Red variety. but this does not
keep as we'll rs the Globe, and SO
should be fed before severe cold wea-
ther sets in. The Globe should be
covered with soil by throwing a fur
row to them from both sides for the
best results for keeping them in the
field. One-fifth Of an acre should
feed one cow for three months.
Mangcls.-This crop Is grown the
same as stock beets, and what has
been said in regard to stock beets
might be applied to mangels also.
Red Globe and Tankard are excellent
varieties. The Mammoth also is a
good variety.
Turnip.-One-ten acre Of tur-
nips should feed one COW for a month.
The Yellow Aberdeen and Extra Pur-
pie Top Milan are excellent varieties
for this purpose. The Bon Air ruta
baga Is also a good variety to use,
and may be planted at almost any
time.
German Millet.-Few farmers re-
alize the value Of German millet as a
hay crop. 1t produces hay of fine
quality, and easily cured. 1t may be
cut twice If the first cutting is made
before the seed heads appear. 9th
erwise the first cutting should be
made when the seed heads are in
bloom, and before the seed harden.
1t requires a rich and we'll fertilized
soil for the best results. and should
by no means he planted on poor soil.
1t draws heavily on the soil. and
should never be grown except in ro-
tation, with coMpeas following the
millet. 1t does well on bottoms, and
yields of from two to four tons per
acre have been obtained on such
lands. Planting should be done af-
ter danger Of frost is past and during
moist season up until August LIST.
Sow the seed broadcast at the rate Of
from five to six pecks per acre. fer
tilizing with about 500 pounds Of
fertilizer per acre, broadcast and har-
rowed in before sowing the seed.
Unless the soil is moist at planting
time. roller should be used to in
sure good stand. The land should
be thoroughly pulveriZcd before
planting, as the seed do not germi-
nate well in rough land. For fur
ther information write to the Glenn

BRYAN MAY BE "DIsY" NOMINEE.
His for the Asking, in Opinion OF
National Prohibition Leaders.

Chicago, May 23.-Prohibition
party leaders here to-day expressed
the belief that William j. Bryan
might consent to become the party's
candidate for President in case the
Democratic National Convention at
ST. Louis declined to adopt a national
prohibition plank in it's platform.
Richmond p. Hobson, Of Alabama;
former Governors Sulzer, of New
York; Foss, of Massachusetts, and
Hanly, of Indiana, and Gen. Nelson
A. Miles, of Washington, d. c., are
others being considered for the nom
ination.
Recent statements of Mr.. Bryan
before the General Conference of
Methodist Episcopal Church, at Sar-
atoga Springs, in which he was quo
ted as declaring that he had about
reached the point where he could no
longer follow political party which
refused to endorse national prohibit
ton, were widely discussed by the
prohibition leaders and it was inti-
mated that If he would consent to
make the race he might be nomi-
mated.
The Prohibition National Conven-
ton will be held at st. Paul July 10
to 30 and will be preceded by a rally
in the interest of the movement to
get pledges from 100000 citizens
to vote only for candidates for pub
lie office who favor national prohibi-
ton.
The convention promises to be the
most important in the history Of the
party, in the opinion Of the leaders.
One suggestion that may come be-
fore the meeting involves the entire
reorganization of the party under a
new name.
A referendum vote of the execu-
tive committee Is being taken by mail
to select a temporary chairman for
the convention. The two candidates
being considered are W. p. +. Fergu-
son, of Franklin, Pa, and Daniel A.
Polling, Of Boston. The convention
this year will consist Of 1884 dele
gates and an equal number Of alter
mates.
Bryan's Comment.
Washington, May 23. - Former
Secretary Bryan, here tonight to at
tend dinner given in his honor, said
he never had heard of the possibility
Of his being nominated for President
on the prohibition ticket and "never
expected to hear of it, except through
the newspapers" He declined TO
treat the subject seriously enough
to answer direct question as to
whether he would accept the nomina-
ton if it were rendered.
