Valuable Forage Plant introduced into
the United States by Department
Of Agriculture.

This valuable new forage plant was
the department OF agriculture. The
seed was brought from the Sudan.
Egypt. hence the name Sudan grass.
Henderson's Farmers Manual for
1915 says: Sudan grass is strictly an
annual. having no underground root
stock to be spread over the ground.
which is a point very much in its
favor, because there is no danger OF
its getting out of bounds and becom-
ing "a pest. II is thoroughly killed
by frost each year, and the seed must
be sown again."
When broadcasted for hay. 1t rarely
attains q height of more than four or
five feet. The stems are smaller
and more leafy than Johnson grass,
which II most resembles, and the hay
is much softer. When broadcasted
for hay. the number of cuttings will
depend on the length of the season.
and the amount Of moisture. The first
crop natures in from so to rs days.
and the recovery after cutting is so
rapid that another cutting may be
taken 25 to 35 days later.
Sudan grass will produce as much
forage as any variety Of millet and
yield two to four cuttings per year.
Its great value to the farmer in the
eastern part of the country, or in a
droughty section. is the ease with
which II can be grown. and its profit

known to follow feeding It to WORT

yield. the ground must be deep. rich
and finely pulverized. Sow when

and the price at present is 4s cents
per pound.

A grimly humorous incident OF the
war is told in a letter written by q
soldier TO his mother in England:
There's one chap in our company
that's got rippin' cure for neuralgia
but he isn't going TO take out pat
ent because it's too risky and might
kill the patient Good luck's one of
the ingredients, and you can't always
be sure of that
He was lying in the trenches the
other day, nearly mad with pain in
his face, when a German shell burst
close by. He wasn't hit, but the ex-
plosion knocked him senseless a bit.
My neuralgia's gone, says he when
he came round. And SOS six of your
mates said !. His names Palmer.
and that's why we now cali the Ger.
man shells 'Palmer's neuralgia cure -

A MAYORS TESTIMONY.

Mayor James X. Hanna of Des
Moines, Ia. gives his personal testi-
mony to the advantages OF prohibition
as follows:
THE saloons were closed on the
18th OF February. All the desirable
locations were picked up by other
businesses within the next few weeks
following. A few out-of.the-way loca-
tions are still vacant.
Il cannot see that there is any ap-
preciable effect because of throwing
men out OF employment and certainly
no increase in demands for charity. In
fact, it is exactly the other way. The
men who lost employment have gone
into other lines. Some OF them have
followed up their former calling in
other cities, but the men who were
spending in the saloons the money
which their families needed are now
b lying groceries and shoes instead.
The consequence is a very much bet
ter tone in every way. In the first
place their families are not now in
want and in the second place, they
are paying their bills for the ordinary
necessities. This is making collec'
tions noticeably better in other lines,
so our merchants report.
"Our experience proves that a de-
cIsive policy can handle the bootleg
ging very effectually. There will be
some illicit sales, to be sure, but they
can be reduced to very small mini
num-"

TURNING UNnER CLOVER CROP
Double Disk Cover Crop Two or Three
Times With Sharp Disk Harrow
Before Flowing.

Never turn the clover or other croI
under without first thoroughly cutting
up with a disk harrow, as the ma.
terial plowed under in a layer seri
ously interferes with the capillary ac
tion of the moisture in the soil.
The effects of turning under in a
layer are what is sometimes called
souring the soil with green manuring
crops.
Double disk the cover crop two OF
three times with sharp disk harrow
before blowing; plow well by taking q
narrow furrow and edging rather than
inverting the furrow; then double disk
the land again rather deeply. and no
injurious effect will result. however
large the growth may be.

THE PROOF.

A gentleman was riding on the
street car the other day, when he saw
on the advertising spaces, printed in
large, clear letters, these words:
Pure Rye Whisky-Tones Up the
Body, Brightens the Intellect, Invig-
crates the Soul" After reading 1t his
eyes dropped involuntarily to the seat
beneath the advertisement, and there
was a drunken man. His eyes were
bleared, his face bloated, with red
lines of dissipation IN it, and his body
slouched down in sort of collapsed
way common to men under the infiu-
ence of liquor. The drunken man was
sn illustration OF the advertisement,
and proved the falsehood of it. Wine
is a mocker."

Historic Rinu,

A remarkable antique ring is IN
cluded in an exhibition in London, or
ganized by the committee of the Po-
lish victims relief fund. This ring,
which has been given for sale. is sym
bolical of the restoration of the old
political status of the kingdom OF
Poland. A miniature coffin with a cross
emblazoned on the lid takes the place
of stone. On pressing an angle at
the foot of the coffin the lid lifts and
a tiny figure representing Poland
rises.

NO FRIENDS OF J. sARLEYcoaN

The saloonkeepers of Washington,
d. c., were sorely disappointed, 1t is
said, because few of the veterans at
tending the Grand Army encampment
spent their money for drinks. or the
10000 marching only one or two were
seen "under the influence" One OF
the old soldiers explained it thus:
"The fellows who could drink It or
let 1t alone are not here-nearly all
of them are in their graves" II is
worthy OF note that every one OF the
12S members of the post at Hagers-
town, Md, is a total abstainer and a
prohibitionist One of the features
of the parade which evoked much
cheering from the crowds OF onlook-
ers was the West Virginia Water
Wagon which headed the delegation
from that state.
