Teosinte {Envhhrna luxuvinns) is one of the most proniisinfr forage plants. It 

 resembles corn, irrowing to a height of G or 8 feet, forming a mass of slender, succu- 

 lent stems, with long, narrow leaves. It is of slow growth in the heginuing. hut 

 shoots forward raindly under the influence of our hot sun. Two cuttings were made 

 last year, producing over liS.CKK) pouiuls of green food per acre, wliiih was greatlx 

 relished by all kinds of farm stock. It is more aflected hy drouth thau the sor- 

 ghums, and requires a richer soil to do its best. It rai'ely leachcs full maturity in 

 our climate, Avhilc further south it ripens and produces seed. It is planted like corn, 

 at a distance of 4 or 5 feet.
