The igs have spread over more than one-fourth a se -tiou. We commenced in one corner, filled a holt up with fine dirt, then dashed in a few palifuls of water, to wash the dirt down then dirt again, then water aaic and so on till the hole was completely 'lied up.

I found this exceedingly hard work, and after cutting up a few acres 1 stopped and prefericd to lt the cattle eat it standing, by that timo the seed had matured fully and a great deal was shelled on the ground, this spring there was a nice stand of volunteer sorghum rather thick, though, the drouth retarded the growth some, and there were many places weed starting.

I planned to get mote, benefit out of it than last year, especially as pretty near all my millet was eaten up by chinch bugs So several das ago I started the self-binder to cut and bind the sorghum in bundles. The sorghum is about five feet high now and I cut it pretty high from the ground about a foot or so, it binds first-rate, although it may be rather hard ou the binder. I rawed tbe reel as high as possible, and cut most of it except where the sunflowers are thick, the only damage done to the binder is that it broke a great many sticks of the canvasses, but 1 shall get a large amount of feed from it. 1 let it lie on the ground a few days to partially cure, and what I cut first we are hauling off and shocking close to the corrals handy to feed, I put about E.B.
