Several years of cultivation of Kafily corn in Kausas have that it is one of the most remunerative | etups that can be grown under con- ditions existing in that state, That the farmers realize this fact is proven | by the remarkable acreage shown by the reports of the secretary of the state board of agriculture for 1895, the total Kaflir corn acreage was 10,- 911; in 1894, 05,237; and in 1805, 184,198, The state agricultural coliege at Manhattan has been with Kaffir corn eince 1889. Two va rieties of sced were used which from | | its color are respectively denominated white and red Kaffir corn. They are Joth attain a height of five or six feet, or more on very rich soil. ered with foliage, which somewhat re- sembles leaves of sorghum, and both | produce a long, slender, upright head densely covered with small rounded seeds. They differ, nowever, not only in the color of the seed, but also in the BAMPLE OF EAFVIR CORN, yield per acre and in the time of ripen- ing. The red variety has, invariably, been the best yielder on the state farm, and it also matures a couple of weeks earlier than the white seeded variety. While the red Kaflir corn has never been injured by frosts, the white vo- riety hus failed to mature seed more than once. Desides, an unduly large percentage of the stalks of this kind fail to push the head completely through the sheath of the upper leaf, and from this cause a portion of the heads thus affected are moldy below, or at best bear but poorly developed the portion covered by the Thais is rarely the case with the red voriety. speeds on sheath For these reasons the red better classed variety is considered much the of the two AE nDOonD-8HCY Both varieties are harine and in common with all varieties of will drought much better than Indian corn. sorghum 3 stan Kaffir corn seed has been found equal to corn in feeding value, and the red variety yields rather better than corn in all seasons, and in dry seasons will produce a moderate crop of seed when corn only produces fodder, The following table shows the result of six y f ears of experiments on the state furm, a comparison being made be- tween Kaflir corn and Indian corn: -Red Kaffir Corn C OTN cnn Grain.

I YEAR, 1559 18% *Average of five years Kaffir corn will do as well in good corn countries as Indian corn, and it will thrive in many places where corn cannot grown at all Several methods have been adopted in Kansas of cultivating Kaflir corn. Some farm- ers sow it as they do wheat and cut it for the fodder, only feeding the seed on the stalks. On this subject Prof. C. C. Ceorgeson, ¢f the state agricultural college, says: “Kaffir corn is best grown in rows thirty inches to three feet apart, and can be sown cither with a sorghum drill or with a common wheat dridl. We use successfully an eight-hoe press drill, on which all ex- cept the first and fifth hoes are closed up. We then seed two rows at a time, 32 inches apart. A little practice will soon show how the drill must be set In order to sow the right quantity of seed. If it comes up too thick it must be thinned. Good heads will be formed when the stalks are about four or five inches apart in the row. In all other respecta it should be cultivated like corn."—Chieago Tribune. be Gardening Requires Hard Labor, Those who succeed with gardening and (ruit growing are compelled to ex- pend a large sum for labor and fertil- fzers, but it pays.

As a fact, there is no sport practiced by any civilized nation which can equal a rec- | ord of 40 deaths ip four months, When we regard the effects upon the player, we meet a condition of things equally serious. Leaving the physical injuries entirely out of the question, the game of fcotball, as it is played to- day, is an absolute detriment to the mental development of those who par- ticipate in it.

Simply because the acids and pectones in the fruit assist in digesting the fat so abundant in this kind of food. For the same reason at the end heavy dinner we eat our cooked fruits, and when we want their digestive ac- tion even more developed, cooked state as dessert. In the past ages instinct has taught men to do this; to- day science tells them why they did it, and this same science tells us that fruit | should be eaten as an aid to digestion | of other foods much more than it is now, Cultivated fruits, such as apples, pears, | cherries, strawberries, grapes, ot:., con- | tain on analysis very similar propor- tions of the same ingredients, which are about 1 per cent of malic and oth er acids and 1 per cent of flesh forming albuminoids, with over 50 per cent of water, Digestion depends upon the action of pepsin in the stomach upon the food, which is greatly aided by the acids of the stomach, Fats are digested by these acids and the bile from the liver. Now, the acide and the pectones in fruit pe. culiarly assist the acids of the stomach.
