Dated hay 1b much more valunbto r3 a feed than loose hay, even when tho loose hay Is well housed. Looso hay carries a great quantity of dust and often gives the farm ani mals a sovoro cough while baled hay does not. Uuled liny takes up about one-fifth ns much room us loose hay and for this reason the entire crop of baled hay can UBiinlly bo stored under cover while looso hay must ho exposed to tho weather In Btocks nnd ricks. Holing bleaks up coarso hay so that tho stock will eat It more readily and thero is no waste In feeding balid ha. Haled hay Is nlways ready for tho market. It Is convenient and satis factory to handle in every wny. .It can bo hauled by team or shipped by railroad. .Much of the tops nnd Bides of stneks Is spoiled by the weather. Loose bay becomes dusty nnd musty. Haling hay keeps out the dust and preserves tho hay. Haled hay retains much of tho sweet hay odor that stock relish. There's a freshness and appetizing finality anil feed value In baled hay that Is never to be found In loose hay Wo should halo our liny whether wo feed It on our own farms or sell It Of course, the market demand Is for baled hay and for baled bay only and for this reason baling Is tho only wny to be sure of huvlng a market for It. The growing of hay nnd especially leguminous hay ns rowpen, soy bean, peanut and lospodoza will rapidly In crease tho fertility of our soils, mako tho raising of good live stock profit able nnd add very much to tho Income on the farms. We can buy n one-horso pull-powei hny press or wo can buy n motor hay press. For tho Btnnll farmer who bales his own hay, tho one-horso pull power hay press will prove very pntl factory nnd economical. With It bo can bale bis bay at thn time most con venient nnd with n small amount of help. Tor tho farmer who prows lnrgo quantities ot hay or for the farmer who bales liny for bin neighbors the two-homo pull-power or thn motor hay press Ib noccHsary.

When operating presses that havo a high stopover, tho horses will generally slow down, hesitate, and ofter stumblo at this point which Is annoying to tho man, wearing on tho horses, and slackens the speed of tho press.

Humphrey, Arlington, Arizona, writes: "What property does sorghum tnko from the ground that other grains need 7 1 notice that wheat and barley grown this Bprlng on a plot of ground that had sorghum on It lust Bummer was very poor, whllo on nn ntljolnlng plot of cxuctlv tho same kind of soil tho crop was very good, making nearly twlco as much grain to the acre. Can you advise mo what Is tho best method of klllng Johnson grass?" Wo havo been unablo to find on analysis of sorghum which shows the amount or the different plant food elements that this crop takes from tho boll. Soighum rodder Is rather low lu protein nnd high lu crudo fiber as com pared with corn rodder. This would lead us to believe that sorghum Is not ns heavy a nitrogen feeder ob tho com mon coin. Tho amount of sugar which sorghum contains varies from two to twenty per cent of tho Juice, oi from ono and one-half to twelve per cent ot tho enno. We noto what you sny regarding tho growth of oat.s and wheat on n plot that produced sor ghum last year. Tho decrease lu yield may not have been due to any partial' lnr drain on tho plant food elements caused by tho sorghum, but might hnvo broil the result of a lack ol moisture. Sorghum Ib a heavy reed ing plant nnd requires considerable molBture, hence It may have taken so much moisture rrom tho soil that thero wnB not n sulllclent amount as compared with other fluids to produce n good crop or wheat or oats. Wo do not bellevo that you will hove any trouble In cutting yonr corn with tho ordinary corn binder, oven though there aio pea vines in the corn. Tho corn binder may bo used very satisfactorily for cutting sor ghum, also mllo maize. Whore these crops grow unusually high and heavy some of the machines may not handle them as easily ns they do corn because they uie built for com and not foi heavy sorghum crops. The height ol grain that can bo cut with the ordi nary grain binder varies some with tho binder. . Tills machlno will handle grain considerably higher than the ordinary run ot grnlns. Tho most successrul method or kill ing Johnson grans Is to plow early In tho fall and to burrow tun land thor oughly, using a spiliig tooth hnirow It ponslblo, or a peg tooth If the spring tooth Is not available. This will tear out n lnrgo numbo.- of tho root stalks which should bo removed fiom the fleld. A heavy feeding of small grain or millet should now be sown which will keep down tho John son gross during tho late fall and early spring, TIiIb cion shmfd bo cut foi hny, nnd tho land e houlil next ho plowo i nnd harrowed as before. It Is woll ti keep this land under thorough culti vation during tho summer months, not permitting nny or tho Johnson grws to grow to any extent. Hy rail tho Hold will bo rreo rrom tho Johnson gross. The mnln objection to this Is tho Iosh or one year's crop, but It has been round to be tho most satlsfrc tory wav or killing out thl.s grass. Close pasturing and considerable tramping Is very Injurious to Johnson grass, and will practically kill It out In tlmo.

Ontario, wrlteB nn follows: Cnn you plense toll mo if dirty salt rrom n tnnnory spread thinly on clay loam would be or any boneflt ns n rortlllzor What Ib n good rertllber ror onions'" You will find that salt Is not much good as a rertlllzor Wo havo known cr experiments In fact. It bos been experimented with considerably- In which It did not affect tho yield to nny matorlol extent. It may havo n little effect on thn physical condition of tho soil under some conditions, but gonorally speaking, wbntovor this effect mny bo, It Is not worth tho trouble of applying tho salt. , Tho four principal plant food elements nro nitrogen, phosphor us, potassium nnd calcium. The first threo named nro tho most I in portnnt. Salt does not supply any o theso plant" rood elements. Salt 1. made up of hvdrocen nnd chlorine. The best fertilizer for onions do pends upon tho conditions or tho soil nnd ns wo are not ramlllar with yom soil, wo cannot glvo yon this do" nltelv. Genernlly speaking, onions re qulro very fortllo land In ordor to glvr best returns. This crop scorns tr demand an unusual nmount of avail able potassium, nnd for this renson 1 Is sometimes advisable to npplv r potassium fertilizer. Sulphnto or pot ash has been round to glvo letter returns than rotafch In other rerms. Stable manure Is very Rood ror onions, but should bo applied In tho fall. Ono objection to using stable mnnuro Ib that It cairlos o groat many wood Foods, and thus may lncronso tho labor of caring for the onions. Tho pres ence of llmo Is alfco vory conducive to crowing goqd onion wops.

Thoro con tinues to ho lively nnd Interesting' discussion among tho members of tbu women's clubs over Lillian Esther Fulmer, tho tiny T 1-2 pound bit of, femininity that was an unexpected Christmas girt to her happy parents.
