Valuable For Cattle Feed.

Prose-, or broom-corn millet, is more
distinctively a grain millet, and 1t
has been used to some extent in North
Dakota and South Dakota as a. grain
crop. Trials of the grain of broom
corn millet and foxtail millets in "a
lions for hogs and beef cattle indicate
that 1t Is much less valuable than corn
for this purpose and does not equal
barley as flesh producer. The South
Dakota agricultural experiment sta
ton found that it took about per
cent more millet than barley to pro-
duce pound OF gain, and on this bas-
is 1t could be about 16 per cent less
et1c1ent than corn as a hog feed. The
meat produced by millet contained a
greater percentage of lean than that
produced by other feeds, and the fat
was softer. For feeding steers it re-
qured 81 per cent more millet than
corn to produce a pound Of gain, 20
per cent more than oats, and % per
cent more than spelt.

Clean Healthy Wheat Seed Essential,

! Sound clean, healthy seed is the
first requisite for the largely increas-
ed wheat crop, which the United States
Department of Agriculture hopes to
see harvested next year. Whatever the
source Of supply farmers will find it
to their advantage, says the depart
ment, to see that only good seed is
planted What has been said is equal
! ly true of seed for the rye crop which
the department hopes to see much
larger than usual next year.
If farmer has seed from his own
crop which is satisfactory so far as
variety and general condition are con-
Cerned, he should lose no time in get
ting it into shape for storage until
planting time. The tanning mill is the
farmers best friend in this task. The
farmer, by all means should have such
a mill and if he has not and is unable
to obtain one, should borrow or rent
his neighbor's mill, or several farm
ers can join in buying one. A tanning
mill removes weed seeds, smut and
shriveled grain and leaves only plump
kernels, practically every one Of which
may be depended upon to produce
thrifty plant. After it is cleaned, how
ever, the seed should be treated in or
der that the smut may be prevented.
Soab La less likely to be prevented by
seed treatment, the use of the fam
ming mill will assist materially in
improving the crop grown from seed
known to have contained scabby ker-
nels
If the farmer is dependent on out
side sources for his seed he should
buy from his neighbor if possible SO
that he may be more likely to get seed
we'll adapted to his conditions. 1t is
advisable to buy as soon after harvest
as possible as at this time prices are
likely to be lowest. If the farmer de-
lays, his neighbors may dispose of all
their surplus grain and he may be
forced to plant, seed grown under con-
ditions radically different from his
own. If the farmer patroniZes a seeds
man he should insist on getting seed
grown as near his section as possible.
If seed is effected by diseases, care
full inspection will usually disclose
the fact. The presence Of sinking
smut in wheat is indicated by the odor
and the presence of scab by the ap-
pearance of the kernels. Purchased
seed should, of course, be cleaned and
treated for the destruction of the
spores of disease producing fungi il
the examination shows this to be
necessary.
In choosing varieties of wheat the
farmer should be guided by the ex-
periences Of his neighbors and the ad
vice Of his State Experiment Station.
This is true also of rye, but there are
available fewer varieties of rye than of
wheat. The stations can furnish COM
parative statistics on the yields and
behavior of number Of varieties of
the two cereals.
After the grain farmer has produced
supply of satisfactory seed he
should store it carefully so that it
will keep in good condition and will
be safe from the depredations of rats,
mice and insects. Bins which are
supposedly rat proof are available
on practically all farms and it will
pay farmers to see that they are kept
in good condition to keep out the ro-
/ dents
