would be a good milk producer, but
such Is not the case. The stalks and
leaves will keep an animal In good
order, but It is not a milk producer.
Cowpea hay or grain or feed ■of a ni-
trogen quality must be used with it
for much milk.
If sown early It is necessary to cut
It early while the weather Is warm,
and is subject to rains In the shocks
so much longer.
If It does grow too tall it can be
cut with an open end binder and be
bound. If sown thick enough It does
not. grow too tall to be cut this way,
end after drying same in the bundle
it can be shocked.
If a second growth comes up from
the stubble it is not safe to allov
stock to graze on the green second
growth and often kills them quick-
ly. So beware of this. Sometimes
stock are killed in a half.hour after
eating It. I have known of cows
to die from eating it more than any
other stock. Though the second
growth is sometimes cut and cured
for hay without bad results. But
this second growth must be guard-
ed very carefully or losses may be
quite heavy.
Some like to mix kaffir corn seed
with the cane seed for hay, but the
writer does not think there Is any
gain from the mixture.
It Is not a suitable feed for late
spring and is better for early far
and ail winter. It will produce quite
well on poor ground, so that is
quite an item, but it ought not be
rnlsed too long on the same ground.
Rotation of crops is best with all
crops. CHAS. MORRISON,
County Adviser.
Every day Is au originality, it
is a time for beginning again. The
experience of living may seem to be
very old, but the concepts and In-
terpretations are all very new.
Much In life Is only a matter of In-
terpretation, but the interpretations
mold destinies. A tree that has
grown In your yard so long that it
seems ugly and gnarled may have
become wearisome to you. But In
truth It Is a new tree every morning
because it la a new mental concept
to you.
If we cannot Interpret the new
day in a broader and higher light
then we have not advanced from yes-
terday.
An old psychology teacher, one
whose research had led in many for-
eign fields, gave a certain course of
Instruction in an effort to impress
upon younger people the Intense
practicality of a right mental ap-
proach to the problems before them.
And at the very close of the lectures
the following proverb was given as a
sort of summary. It was quoted
from the Sanscrit:
Look to this day, for it is life;
The very life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the vei l
ties of Being—
The bliss of Growth,
The glory of Actlop,
The splendor of Beauty.
For Yesterday is but a dream,
And To-morrow is only a vision;
But To-day well lived makes every
Yesterday a dream of happiness,
Every To-morrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefor, to this day

Mosquitoes were th* cauan largely
of the malaria and yellow fever.
This was the first published medical
statement that files carried and
caused typhoid fever. When such
is the case, why do not more people
piotect their homes from files and
poison in the spring, while there If
not many flies and they are easily
killed. There must be files to pro-
duce flies, but they are wonderfully
productive.
Arsenic is best to poison them
with. Use 4 ounces arsenic mixed
with a quart of warm molasses, and
add water to It, adding wore water
as It evaporates. Arsenic is cheap
It should be plainly marked poison
and kept about the house and barns,
out of reach of children and stock.
Three-fourths of the farm houses
have no screens. If a child dle3 in
a home with uo screens, and It dies
of typhoid fever, it might well be
classed as a case of murder on the
part of the parents. A law compell
ing all houses to be well screened
and flies to be kept out of tho house
Is Just about as Important as the pro-
hibition law on the sale of liquor.
It is ilke tho social vice luestlon,
me of the greatest in the world, bu
not so recognized by many.
If a man has a farm rented and
tenant takes sick, It is a loss to the
owner of the land. So every land-
owner Is Interested !n having his
tenants protected In every way pos-
sible. Typhoid fever can be lessened
one-half by screening out the files
Typhoid fever Is a terrible disease
and a great drain on the family, and
often takes away Us victim.
There is not en jgh attention paid
to the closets in the country. They
should be cleaned often and kop
well disinfected. These things shoul
be talked over by farmers, as It Is
serious matter.

In this issue of the Arrow will be
found an Interesting story written by
Mary Lynch Davis of Tulsa, Okla.,
and formerly of Tahlequah. Miss
Davis is a Cherokee Indian and t*
story was written from facts In and
around Barber, Okla.
During the Spanish American war
our troops in many Instances were
camped in ideal places for healthy
camps, In the mountains of the Apa-
lacblan, and they died In great num-
bers and many were sick, and after
the war was over the government
appointed a committee of physicians
! to investigate the cause of so much
I typhoid fever among the soldiers in
these camps, as more soldiers had-
died of fevers than had been killed
In battle. So it aroused the atten-
tion of government officials. The
Vitchens and dining places where the
soldiers eat were not screened, and i
the files came from the closets used
by the men and brought the poison
of these closets to their food end
water and the report of this com
mlttee of doctors was that flies,
bringing the disease to the food and
water of the soldiers was tha cause
prlnclpaly, of the great amount of
typhoid fever. This committee found
that the people of the cities near
where they were camped did not
have any more than the usual

day to visit home folks. A part of
the day was spent on the banks of amount of fl few cases of typhoid.
