JOHNSON & MUSSER SEED COMPANY PENGIIxhARIA ZEAOIDES MAND'S WONDER FORAGE PLANT. The most productive hay or fodder plant in cultivation. This plant is worthy the Careful investigation of every progressive Farmer, Dairyman, Stockman and Poultry Raider in the country. Description:—It is an annual, having an enormous growth of broad, dark green leaves, much resembling Indian corn, and equals in nutritive value those well-known forage plants, sorghum, Kaffir corn, etc., while far surpassing them in productiveness. Attains a height of from 12 to 14 feet, bearing numerous heads completely covered with seeds. It is closely allied to the well-known Pearl Millet and resembles it very much in appearance and manner of growth, but in all other respects is far superior, not being restricted in latitude^ and growing wherever corn can be grown. 4$ a Hay Plant:—^As a rapid-growing hay plant it is unequalled; each plant throws out numerous stools, similar in that respect to wheat, and grows so rapidly that in from five to six weeks it is ready to be mowed. This operation can be repeated from 3 to 5 times during the season, and will yield several tons of hay to each cutting. For hay purposes it should be very thinly sown in drills, 12 to 18 inches apart, dropping a seed every 6 or 8 inches. If sown broadcast, sow one pound of seed per acre, or as thin as you sow turnip seed. As a Fodder Plant:—For this purpose it should be sown in drills, S or S}4 feet apart, thinning out to stand 18 inches apart in the drill. When high enough cultivate the field thoroughly, as this may be the only opportunity; the growth soon becoming so dense that a cultivator could not be used a second time. Cut it when in blossom—it is then 5 or 6 feet high—and remove the fodder; it will then make a second growth before the growing seaso
