FORAGE CROPS. Millets, Sorghums, Vetches, Etc—More attention should be devoted to growth of these crops, which will be found quite remunerative. The yield of hay is enormous, while almost any variety listed here will produce more grain than corn. Devote some of your best land to their culture and you will be highly pleased. Teosinte.—This is of South American origin and somewhat resembles corn, but leaves are much longer and broader. The stalk, containing mucL^ saccharine matter, is very nutritious. It excels all other known plants in size of growth and amount of foliage produced. Throws up 30 to 50 stalks from 1 grain and attains height of from 10 to 20 feet. Cut for green feed in any stage is found good and wholesome, and the second and third growth come promptly in equal abundance. The forage from one seed is considered sufficient to feed a yoke of cattle for 24 hours. It has been thoroughly tested with most satisfactory results. Nothing equals it for an enormous yisld of valua- ble feed. Plant in spring when ground has be- come waim, in rows 3 to 4 feet wide, drop 3 or 4 seed 3 feet apart, cover lightly, cultivate same as coin. Two pounds of seed will plant an acre. Ounce, 10c; 4 ounces, 25c; pcnrd, 75c, postpaid. Pearl Millet.—Known throughout the South as Cat Tail Millet, Hoise Millet, African Cane and Egyptian Millet. It grows luxuriantly, stooling large^ly from the ground, and produces an enor- mous amount of green fodder that can be cut sev- eral times during the season, furnishing a contin- uous fresh growth as long as seasons are suitable. Useful only for green feed; does not make a good fodder. Sow in April or May, in drills 3 or 4 feet apart and cultivate as corn. Pound, 15 • ; 8 pounds, $
