Standing at his open grave, as the minister read from the impressive burial service; "Earth to earth, dust to dust, and ashes to ashes," we said to ourself; those words form n succinct history of every hu* man life.

I I)hau ! 11:iti.D:?As I receive let trrs almost daily from North anil South Carolina, asking about sor ghuin or cane for stock feed, with your permission I'll answer through your columns. We plant sorghum about the first of Apr I in drills about 2, or feet apart and work it as we work corn as 'eve! as possible. We plant 1 think from 1 <1 to 2 bushels per acre i ' we wan I two crops off of one piece of ground. As soon as the heads begins tu ripen \vc cut it and shock it as we cut it and ler. it cure standing in shocks as we used io do top fod> der when I was a hov. '* he second crop we let stand until the heads are ripe, or until just hefore frost, though alight frost won't hurt it much. We then haul it up to rich it, (or stack it as you cuil it?) After your stock becomes used to it you can feed it as you do hay. Wo vory often sow it hjoad cast and cut it with a wheel or oat hinder. Hv planting it thick the stalks grow small and stock like it better. I think after a man cuts his oats in June, if he will sow cane on his oat land lie would make fine cane, | about two tons per acre. In 1.895, on four acres, I raised enough cane I to feed-two cows and calves, three horses and fatten two hogs. When the cane is out the first time, its the succors from the stubbles that make the second crop. When you get ready to cut your cane let mo know Hi.d I'll tell you how, (with tho help of one man, one small boy and ft nntlc) you can cut 50G acres a day. Hoping you will have great success ir sorghum raising, I am as ever, II. \j. 1 lOLMKS. Anson, Texas.
