Sudan grass vs sorghum at North Platte substation
Over three years tests at the North Platte Experimental Substation show Sudan grass not yet superior to sorghum. Future trials under varied weather may favor Sudan grass. Sudan grass is praised as a dry land crop but may suit humid conditions better. Feeding value per ton aligns with prairie sorghum hay. Sudan grass stems are fine and leafy, potentially reducing waste, yet appear dry and pithy and may be less relished than sorghum, especially this season. Cattle prefer sorghum stems more recently.

No Dry Batteries Misreadings Explain Wet Cell Facts
The article clarifies that there is no truly dry battery and that what is labeled a dry cell is an enclosed wet battery. It explains the chemical action, structure, and materials inside a zinc cylinder with carbon center, paste of zinc oxide sal ammoniac plaster and water, noting moisture is essential for operation and life.
Battery life recovery methods described by New York World
The passage explains that battery terminals reverse the internal orientation and that exhaustion can be countered by recharging with current from a close circuit cell like nitric or sulphuric acid. Pouring water into a small hole at the top aids life return but does not restore original efficiency.
