Sle
Virtues of Kaffir Corn
After an experience of seven years
in raising Kaffir corn, a Kansas farm
er, sees many good points in favor of
its productions. He says:
"Under the same conditions and
care, my Kaffir corn, yielded forty-one
bushels to the acre, while the Indian
corn made about thirty-two. All kinds
of stock relish it and it is better than
wheat for chicken feed, but not quite
so fattening as Indian corn. It should
be ground for feed. The fodder is
greatly liked by cattle, horses and
hogs. Kaffir corn should be planted
by the middle of May, from four to
six inches apart in the row. It will
stand drouth better than Indian corn,
and will do well in light soil. Kaffir
corn seed sells from 50 to 75 cents a
bushel. The red variety is the best,
as it is earlier and yields better than
the white.
Alfalfa Meal for Hens
Experienced poultrymen declare
that by using alfalfa meal as food,
laying hens can be kept confined all
year if necessary. They claiirv that
the meal is fully as valuable as the

best natural grasses for maintaining
health and productiveness. , A good
feed for chicks and laying hens can
be made by mixing alfalfa meal with
beef scraps, ground bone and other
similar ingredients. Many who have
used alfalfa meal say it gives better
satisfaction than oil meal, bran and
other feed stuffs.
Horticultural Notes
Store parsnip roots in sand in the
cellar.
Ivook over those young trees and re
move any wired labels that may have
been left on last spring.
Spinach beds intended for spring
crops should' be given a mulch of
leaves or straw if the winter is an
open one.
Mulch the asparagus and rhubarb
beds with well rotted manure. In the
spring when the ground is dry, spade
into the soil.
" Take privet cuttings this month for
planting in nursery in spring. Tie
cuttings in bundles and store in. sand
in cellar.
During winter definite plans should

be made for the garden and orchard.
Select seeds, make plot of ground "to
be utilized.
When you are eating an apple and
run across a worm, it should remind
you that neglecting to spray last,
spring is the cause'.
Remove black. knots from those
plum and cherry trees and burn. When
the knots are removed from a large
limb, rub on a little kerosene.
Cultivation, spraying, pruning, fer
tilizing are the four corner stones of
orchard management. In which one
did you fail tho past season?
Evergreens that are dried out by
cold, dry winds of winter are much
benefited by a mulch about the roots
that will keep out the frost. It's na
ture's way. The frozen ground about
the roots gives them a chance to sup
ply moisturo to the leaves.
Grapes are produced on the sea
son's growth of wood made from a
few buds left from pruning. Bear this
point in mind in pruning. Wood that
produces fruit once never does it
again. Prune any time when vines
are dormant and before sap starts
in tho spring.
