better in low soils and in a dry season. 
Another crop which is not used as fre¬ 
quently as it ought to be is sorghum, or 
Early Amber cane. This crop is seeded 
in drilte and cultivated much like fodder 
corn. It makes a very good yield, and is 
much liked by the stock, and it can also 
he used for making syrup. It will be a 
very good plan for farmers who have 
their land lying idle to seed some of these 
fodder crops, for they will help out 
greatly in substituting for hay. The fol¬ 
lowing table, taken from the Michigan 
bulletin, gives the comparative feeding j 
value of some of these fodders:

and her small brother leaving in great 
haste. “Why, Anna,” she exclaimed in

“Please, Miss Jones, we’ve got to go.”

Cut Your 
Labor Cost 
Blanching is the most expen¬ 
sive part of celery growing; 
you can cut its cost more than 
two-thirds if you 
Bleach With 
Areanddee 
Dirt can’t blanch A-l celery; be- 
sides, it frequently causes rot. 
Celery blanched by Areanddee is 
whiter and crisper. Areanddee is 
easily applied; clean and cheap. 
Two men can do a mile of row an 
hour—you can easily compute the 
saving in wages.
