Prose- Is Recommended

known as hog millet, broom corn

enormous yielder and natures a

Farmer. 1t grows more rapidly.

and natures more quickly than other
grains; reaches height of three to
four feet, stools and branches, max
ing twelve to twenty heads instead
of one, one head having as many
as 1,185 grains by actual count. That
is why it is an enormous yielder-up
to sixty or seventy bushels per
acre.
Prose- makes extra fine poultry

Keeping bitches Open

The best method of cleaning
weeds, grass and loose dirt out of
an open drainage ditch will depend
very much on the size and shape
of the ditch and how badly it is
filled up. For narrow ditch, drag
ging along an old threshing cylinder
or a section of a disc fastened with
a long log chain to a pole pulled
with a team at each end, will give
good results. An old corn planter
or binder bull wheel, with the edge
of the rim filed or ground sharp,
can be pulled along in the same
way where the ditch bottom is
wider and rounder. Doing this once
or twice a season should keep the
ditch in good shape.

Jim's eyes followed her as she

FARM
SWEETCLOVER THAT
IS REALLY "SWEET"
Strain Under Observation
of U. S. Specialists.

Supplied by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.-WNUS Service.
A sWeetclover that is really
Sweet is under observation of
forage specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The common yellow blooming and
white blooming sweetclovers in the
United States both contain a bitter
substance known as coumarin. 1t
is believed this substance poisons
live stock when they are fed i'm
properly cured clover hay.
Two plant explorers of the depart
ment, w. j. Morse and P. H. Dor
sett, seven years ago sent back a
specimen of a new sWeetclover
from the Chilli province of China.
1t was an annual. Since then 27
lots, all biennials, have been OBJ
tanned from central Europe, Russia
and Mongolia. None of them are
bitter.
Repeated tests with the new
SWeetclover have convinced the for
age men it does not contain cou-
marin, reports DR.. E. A Hollowell,
clover specialist of the Bureau of
Plant Industry.
Preliminary work at the Wiscon-
sin experiment station shows that
live stock prefer the new sweetclov-
er to the common varieties. Spoiled
hay of the clover has been fed to
rabbits and calves without i'll ef-
fectS.
The new clover is shorter than
American varieties and produces
fewer leaves. The forage special
lists are trying to cross the non
bitter clover with domestic strains
to lower the coumarin content of
the domestic strains. Attempts thus
far have been unsuccessful.

Macpherson came up to the house
And now you're going home with
US, jim"
We'll have to hold Fielding" the
tall young sergeant said.
Cecily turned swiftly. Hold him?
Why?"
Macpherson glanced at Jim. I'm
afraid that bail can't be arranged
tonight" he said. Il am not a prop
erty owner and Miss Cecily is a
minor"
But you know us, Sergeant Nc
Cready," Cecily appealed to the
trooper. Il can assure you that
Father would want to do everything
possible for Mr.. Fielding. I'll make
myself personally responsible. Isn't
that enough?"
I'm afraid not" Sergeant Nc
Cready replied with half-smile. In
the matter of speeding or skipping
| a light we do. occasionally, make
an exception. But in case like this
we can't" the sergeant continued.
"A girl has been hurt-how badly
we don't yet know"
And you admit you didn't give
him permission to drive your car,
Officer kelly added.
But he wasn't driving the car, !"
Cecily said heatedly. He has told
you exactly what happened"
1T was a good story" officer
Kelly observed laconically.
i've never heard of anything sc
ridiculous!" Cecily was angry,
YOU'D better go home with Mac
Pherson," Jim said gently. Its
almost morning. l don't mind stay
ing here. There will be a hearing
some time tomorrow
will they let you go them" she
asked jim.
The sergeant answered the ques'
ton.
If bail is furnished and the mag
istrate will sign his release"
but he's Innocent" Cecily cried
IF that is true" Sergeant Nc
Cready said soothingly, "you've
nothing to worry about. 1t may
| take a little time. We can't have
a final hearing until we know def
nitely how badly the girl is hurt
That's all 1 can tell you Miss
Vaughn"
Then there's nothing l can do?'
She looked at Jim, her spirits droop
ing little.
You can go home and get some
sleep"
"Sleep!" Her chin lifted. "Tn

"Best" Time to Gull

There is no very exact require
ment as to the time for culling hens
for mating purposes, says the Paci-
fic Rural Press. If the market is
good at the time it would probably
be desirable to Gull hens that you
do not care to keep and sell them,
going over the birds again later
rather carefully before you mate
them. 1t is always wise to Gull the
birds rather carefully just before
the males are placed in the pens.

BrOnepraSS

Bromegrass, which is perhaps the
most drouth-resistant grass, accord
ing to writer in the Prairie Farm
er, should be seeded early in the
spring when there is an abundance
of moisture, or in late summer if
sufficient moisture is present to give
it a good start before winter. The
rate of seeding is 20 to 25 pounds
an acre. 1t may be seeded broad
cast with red clover, alfalfa or
sweet clover, but it tends to crowd
out the legumes. In any case, it
should be seeded with a nurse crop
such as oats.

Shrinkage of Stored Oats

Tests at the Ohio experiment sta
ton show that wheat and oats
stored in bins in good condition and
kept free from rodents shrank very
little in storage. Over a fve-year
period, the average loss from
shrinkage in wheat was seven-tenths
of one per cent. Average shrinkage
with oats was less than tWo-teEthS
of one per cent. The moisture con-
tent Of the grain varied slightly
from month to month, depending on
the weather.

There never has been any con-

Delayed action on the bill, aside
from the Robinson boom, was
welcomed by both sides. Oppo-

they wished to see what type Of
man the President appoints to fill
the vacancy created by Van De-
vanter'S retirement. His failure to
name Robinson would be con-

as o tremendous weapon against

on creating still more vacancies
