Opinion of Growers of Sudan Grass l
That It Will Largely Take Place
of Millet and Sorghum.
Most of the earlier account of Su
dan grass failed to make clear that
this new crop Is nothing more or less
than a fine-stemmed, nonsaccharlne
sorghum. It has most of the charac
teristics of the ordinary sorghum, and
Its requirements as regards soil and
climate are similar except that the Su
dan grass differs from sorghums by
maturing earlier and having such Sne
stems that it Is readily cured Into
hay.
Experiments made at the Kentucky
state station in 1810 produced a crop
of eight tons per acre of dry hay In

Pleading Entreaty.
passing. Instantly she tried to mask
It with a smile of welcome, and began
talking ibout Inconsequential happen
ings of the day.
It was plain she meant to tell him
nothing. Seeing this, he thought best
to meet her on her own ground, and
pretended he had heard and seen noth
ing1. Richard and Lucy Hooker had been
married about six years. He was In
bis early thirties, and his wife was
some five years his junior. His love
for Lucy was deep and strong, and had
never cooled with the years of married
life. The only clouds that had for a
short time obscured their happiness
had been caused by his jealousy, which
up to now had been proved to be
groundless. After the last unpleasant
experience of this kind he had vowed
never to let anything shake his con
fidence In his wife, and to try to root
out from his disposition this curse of
jealousy. But lately he bad noticed
In her a kind of restlessness and
despondency which be had laid to the
thought of separation from a dearly
loved Bister, who had determined to
enter the Red Oross service, and was
soon to sail for Europe. Now he be
lieved he had found the real reason
for this. How could he doubt the evi
dence of his own ears? Kven though
he had meant never to doubt her
again, what other possible construction
could he put upon what he had heard?
The torture of It burned Into his
very soul, and tore him like a mad
beast. He determined to hide all this
as far as possible from Lucy till he
had more proofs. Several days went
by, and although he came home at all
aorta of unexpected times, he failed to
again find the man. He shrank from
as yet putting a detective on the track
of his wife. The strain under which
he was living, In spite of 1Kb efforts to
conceal It, was felt by Lucy, and she
began to ask him If he was not well.
He Immediately laid this solicitude to
a desire on her part to cover up her
unfaithfulness to him.
One evening when Lucy had gone
to seo a friend, he determined to
search nmong her belongings to see If
he could find a note or anything which
might lead to further proofs. He
turned over gloves, rlbbone and cloth
ing In the different drawers, and was
about giving up the search, when he
spied an envelope down In one corner
of a drawer under some nrtlelea of
clothing. He drew It out, and saw that
It was addressed to his wife In a
man's hand. Inside were four letters
without envelopes which had evidently
been thrust Into this one for safekeep
ing. Ho opened the letters and read
them. They nil began : "Poareat,"
"Darling." or "Adorable Girl," and
breathed the tenderest, most undying
devotion. He put them In his pocket
tad went back to his room utterly
crushed. This was the most stagger
ing blow of all. The letters bore date
of several months back, but the post
mark on the envelope was a date of
only about two days before the day he
had found the man with his wife. No
doubt she had destroyed that letter,
and put these she wished to save In
the envelope.
He asked himself what more he
could want for proof. Perhaps on
these other occasions when It had all
been smoothed over he had simply
been hoodwinked like the blind fool
that he was. Well, It could not be
done again. The end had come the
end of love and happiness. He meant
to have It over that night, and waited
for her to come In. .
She entered In better spirits than
usual, and came up to him with :
"Why, Dick, dear, you look awfully
tired! Have you had a hard day?"
Yes," he said, looking accusingly
at her, "the hardest I've ever had In
my life. I don't want to ever live
through another such a one."
She gave hltn a questioning look,
then seeming to think he referred to
some trying business, she said: "Now,
darling, forget It whtle I tell you some
thing nice. Oh, I'm so happy over It

seemed like a presentiment. And poor
Spencer you know she's engaged to
him, felt the same way. He wanted
her to marry hlra before she went, but
she wouldn't hear to It, and the poor
boy came here the other day just fran
tlo, beside himself, begging me to make
her change her mind; just as though
anyone could make Ann change her
wind."
'What day was he here?" asked
Hooker.
She told him a bit wonderlngly. It
was the day he had overheard.
"I didn't tell you," she added, "be
cause you've been so put out with me
for feeling so about her going, and I
knew you would be dead against poor
Spencer, too. You see, they can't car
ry much baggage with them over there,
It has to be light marching order, and
Ann, poor dear, brought me a few little
treasures she feared to lose. Now

think? Since war has been declared
by us, Ann thinks her duty lies here
with our own men, and she's going to

she was about him the whole time, I'm
going to present him with four letters
she gave me to take care of;' letters
from him, you know. Won't It be a
Joke?"
Hooker nervously fingered the let
ters In his pocket and wondered If he
could get them back before she missed
them. Then he took her In his arms
and kissed her In extravagant Jubila
tion over Ann's approaching marriage.

How Fish Are Counted.
The Wood river, in Alaska, has been
closed to fishing for many years and Is
resorted to for breeding purposes by
red salmon escaping the nets In Nu-
shagak bay. The counting of the sal
mon was first undertaken In 1908 and
has been continued annually since that
time except in 1014.
The counting is made possible by
throwing a rack across the stream and
compelling the fish to pass through a
narrow gate where they are easily vis
ible to persons Immediately above.
Agents of the fisheries bureau In relays
are kept on duty day and night for the
entire period of the run, and the tally
Is kept by an automatic counting de-
ice manipulated by hand.

In recent years was 25,664.

Especially Adapted to Herds Which
Are Too Small to Afford Valuable
Animal at Head Organiza
tions Are New.
There are now more than 80 active
co-operative bull associations In the
United States, representing a total
membership of 660 and owning about
120 pure-bred bulls. In the opinion of
specialists, co-operation In this re
spect Is only In Its infancy and co
operative bull associations should be
come a great factor In the lmprove
men of our dairy cattle.
The co-operative bull association Is
especially adapted to herds which are
so small that a valuable bull for each
herd would be too heavy an Invest
ment to be Justified by the extent of
the business. Through co-operation,
cattle owners are enabled to obtain
the benefits which come from the use
of a pure-bred sire at an expense
PARASirES FEED" on plants
Pure-Bred Bull.
which Is no greater, and In many
cases Is even less, than the cost of
maintaining a scrub.
"Better and fewer bulls" Is a
phrase which represents the aim of
these associations. A typical organi
zation Is composed of from 15 to 30
farmers who own Jointly five bulls.
The territory of the association Is di
vided Into five breeding blocks and one
bull assigned to each block. To pre
vent Inbreeding, each bull Is moved to
the next block every two years. Bar
ting losses from death or other causes,
therefore, no new bulls need be pur
chased for ten years. It Is customary
to apportion the purchase price, and
the expense of supporting the bulls,
among the members according to the
number of cows owned by each.
These associations have been known
in the United States only since 1908,
when the first one was organized, In
Michigan. The short time which has
elapsed since then makes It Impossible
to demonstrate the full value of the
associations, because tbe Influence of
pure-bred sire Is felt In the herd
for more than one generation.
In regard to the returns from grad
ing up cattle through the use of tie
pure-bred bulls of the co-operative
associations, one estimate obtained
from farmers in Maryland, Michigan,
and Minnesota, places the Increased
value of the offspring In the first
generation at from 80 to 80 per cent,
or an average of 65 per cent. Such
lurge profits are commonly associated
by business men with the possibility
of equally serious loss, but In the bull
associations this does not seem to be
true. It Is difficult to Bee that any
probability of loss exists.
Of All Diseases and Pests Seal In
sects Have Received Most Atten
tion Ravages Are Costly.
All plants are subject to attacks by
parasites. These parasitic enemies are
as different In structure as the plants
upon which they feed. Some para
sites are microscopic plants called
fungi, and are the causes of such well
known diseases as apple scab, brown
rot and wheat rust. Others are known
as baoterla, producing the Injurious
fire blight of fruit trees. Still others
are not plants at all, but are Insects.
Of all plant parasites, undoubtedly
scale Insects have received most at
tention during the last thirty years.
Their small size has rendered them
obscure. Their obscureness has al
lowed them to multiply year after
year without being combated. Their
Increasing numbers have resulted In
the death of thousands of trees,
shrubs and greenhouse plants each
year throughout this country. Hun
dreds of different kinds of scale In
sects exist. Some are large and active
throughout their entire lives. The
mealy-bugs of the greenhouse are typi
cal examples. Others are small and
sedentary, becoming immovable soon
after they begin feeding. The San
Jose and citrus scales are well-known
species of this type. The ravages of
such pests are so expensive that farm
ers of the United States are annually
paying thousands of dollars either di
rectly or Indirectly to scale Insects
alone.

Large yields and high quality may be

For such planting the potatoes make

where the sun shines pnrt of the day,
short, stubby, green sprouts grow to
one-half to three-fourths of an Inch

These potatoes may then be cut and
planted with the sprouts on, care being
taken not to injure them. At the Ohio

ou can sympathize with chickens on
mlte-lnfested roosts. The mites slm
ply swarm over the birds and suck
their blood. By painting the roosts
and walls with crude creosote, the
mites can be utterly destroyed, for
the parasites hide In the cracks dur

SYSTEM FOR DAILY ROUTINE
Many Useless Steps Are Taken and
False Moves Made In Perform
ance of Usual Tasks.
A vast deal of the drudgery Inci
dent to farm existence can be done
away with by the exercise of greater
forethought and through the adher
ence to system In dealing with the
dally routine of farm work.
So many useless steps are taken and
so many false moves are made In the
performance of our usual tasks that
might just as well be turned to ac
count. This condition obtains because
many farmers, clinging to the customs
of their fathers, are tardy In recognlz

advantage of simple, low-cost labor
