Do Not Foil to Plant a Few

The season t f planting is close at

worthless dogs planted Ik*fore the
tirst of dune. Their is no iatahlih

A Short Sermon on Woods.
N . > . Trit>uii*.
President Ih K. Kodgers, of Wheat*
j land, told nt a meeting of a Western
New York Farmcr'a Club, of one of
his wheatfielda licing self-scetletl to
clover from st etl which must have
laid in the ground several years.
This often turns up in fields where
clover is occasionally allowed to g*
to seed as a crop. It must lie ever
remembered that many weed-setals
hare the same faculty of lying dorm
ant furrow deep on the ground for
nobody knows how many years, and
are very apt to turn up most inoppor
tunely.
A ukarinu orchard should have
the whole ground The litest treat
ment la to aow clover and pasture the
pigs upon it.
Somhum and Millet an Soiling
Cropo. ,
Our I.t lloins ail.! farm.
For a month or more I Imvt- f.-d on
! little else than sorghum, turning the
| stock out to pasture every night
after being fed during idle days. My
j stock have continued up to this time
| to devour the sorghum greedily -
i eating it up clean—and to-day they
arc in good order and perform excel
lent work. This littlccxperimcnthaa
Convinced me that there arc few if
any soiling crops that surpass sorgh
um for work stock during the idle
season on the hum. The crop is
easily laised and t-aves a vast amount
of corn. I cut enough with rn\
mower at one lime to last a week,
: haul it up and dump it by the lot
gate, where it is convi tin nt to feed.
I shall hereafter make it a point to
1 raise two or more aen i every \ear
' f<<r soiling purpose-. <'ct early
'enough, oin i. an get two or three
crops <.l eaily umber in one season
from the same land. Mine was mow
ed late. \i *t 1 cxpi cl to git a second
cutting. 1 believe in soiling to a
mode rate extent at least. Lust year
I soiled h'Hiie calves with cat-tail
I p'si 'I millet, and I never saw calves
look so well or grow HO rapidly.

Considering that the welling value
of two flue horses, if they are match
ed and Ix'ar inspection and trial as a
pair, is mucli greater than as single
boraes, it behooves farmers who are
breeding two or more mares each
year to so select these, and so breed
them as to avail themselves of rea
sonable chances for securing a pro
spective high-price team.
