Prickly Comfrey. This plant has been offered at various times under the different names of Indian, or Great Millet, Guinea, or Negro G-uinea Corn, Chocolate Corn, Ivory Wheat, and Pampas Rice. We consider it right to mention this to prevent misconception. Above we give the botanical name, and that by which it is most generally recognized where the consumption is greatest. Durra is a valuable forage plant, growing from 8 to 10 feet in height, and jaelding an abundance of gray ish-green foliage, greatly relished by stock. It is frequently grown for grain, and yields largely. One grower in California reports having harvested as high as 200 bvishels per acre. The culture is very simple: when grown for the grain, it should be planted in Iiills and given plenty of room; the space given to common corn is not any too much. For fodder, sow in drUls from 2 to 3 feet apart, dropping the seeds 3 to 4 inches apart in the drill; when 6 or 8 inches high, thin to about 8 or 9 inches apart: and when it has attained a height of 4 or 5 feet, it may be cut for forage, which can be con- tinued every third or fourth week irutil frost.
