For rich, moist soils, this is a most valuable grass, and as there are so many places in the South where this immensely productive grass is especially adapted, it is a wonder to us that its advantages have been so little realized and its benefits appropriated. It affords fine winter and spring pasturage. All animals are very fond of it, either green or cured, and, if sown on suitable soil, from five to eight cuttings, or even more, can be made in one year. We copy the fol- lowing from Prof. D. L. Phare's Missis- sippi Farmers'' Book of Grasses. He says: "On rich lands no other grass will probably bear so many mowings, nor is any other better adapted to green soiling. It is a ravenous feeder, and thrives on the richest soils and many applications per year of rich fertilizers. But the enormous yield of delicious forage amply repays the expense of such feeding, in the sleek coats and dis- tended sides of the happy colts, horses, sheep and cattle ; the improved health of the animals ; the big pails brimming with rich, delicious milk, and the well- filled tubs of beautiful, fine-flavored butter. In the dairying districts of Europe, where irrigation is employed, the quantity of forage afforded by this grass is simply enormous. But to ob- tain the best results it must be abund- antly fertilized. This grass stands drought well, and grows most luxu- riantly in our Southern States.
