GOLDEN WONDER MILLET— Truly a wonder; grows to a height of five to six feet, stalks measuring at the butt about 54 inch, and covered with broad leaves (which resemble those of corn) its entire length, yielding from ten to twelve tons of fodder per acre, which is as easily cured as clover hay. The heads measure about fifteen inches in length, and yield an enormous crop of seed. If grown for seed it should be planted and cultivated like corn, in rows three feet apart and from twenty inches to two feet apart in the row, planting from five to seven seeds in the hill. For fodder purposes sow broadcast and cut before the seed is ripe; no better food than this Millet can be found for poul- try, swine, calves and cattle; not recom- mended for horses, as it is like flax, too heating. GERMAN, OR GOLDEN MIL- LET— Grows three to fiTe feet high; heads closely condensed; spikes very nu- merous ; seeds round, golden yellow, in rough sheaths. Sow 30 to 50 pounds per acre. Weight, 50 lbs. per bushel. COMMON MILLET (panicum mtl- liaceum)—Very early; grows two to three feet high; foliage broad. Sow in drills or broadcast from May 1st, to June 20th, if for seed, or until the last of July for hay. For grain, sow in drills, use 30 to 50 lbs. per acre. If for hay, sow broad- cast 30 pounds. Weight, 50 lbs. per bushel. HUNGARIAN GRASS (panicum Germanicum)—A valuable forage plant, withstands drought, and yields well on light soil. Sow broadcast at the rate of 34 to 48 pounds to the acre, and cultivate the same as Millet. Weight, 48 lbs. per German, or Golden Millet. SEEDS OF HONEY PLANTS.
