soils to make the business profitable, but 1t has been repeatedly shown that our best corn lands can be made to grow paying crops The plant Is easily grown, natures much quicker than corn, and may be planted from April until the last of July.
 The seed are sown in drills like sorghum and thinned to a foot apart. Rows should be Sis to feet apart of equal distance and frequent and shallow cultivation given. When the straw is well developed the upper stalks are bent over which retains the shape and aids in the proper curing. Farmers should at least grow enough to make their own brooms and through such practice would soon learn to grow for market.
 Garden Herbs
 The practice of our mothers long ago. to always have a spot in the garden devoted to the growth of aromatic, medicinal and flavoring herbs, seems to have fallen into dis use in our modern life. Even home grown sage is rarely met with. al though varieties are now obtainable that produce full yield from seed in a single season.
 While most of the herbs are per ennial in character and some slow in growth. in the south, where the seasons are so long. results may be l expected in a single season with seed.
 If the soil be a deep. rich loam and the plants cultivated, surprising results are attained. The following are easily grown from seed Sage thyme, summer savory, rosemary sweet marjoram, lavender, horehound. sweet fennel. dill, caraway, sweet basil, anise and catnip.
 Some of these use to make up the | standard household remedies for all sorts of human ailments. Our for eigp citizens among us still hold to the practice of growing such plants
