Three Valuable Millets 



Japanese: millet is ex- 

 cellent fodder of exceedingly 

 rapid growth, standing 6 to 8 

 feet high. its drought resisting 

 qualities render it a valuable green 

 feed when pastures are short. Rich 

 in milk producing properties, and 

 yields a much heavier crop than llie 

 Grasses and Clovers generally used. 

 Special re-cleaned Japanese Millet, 

 9d. per lb. ; 74 8 per cwt. 



HUNGARIAN MILLET 



HUNGARIAN MILLET 

 grows to a height of from 

 2 to 3 feet. Stock eat it 

 greedily, seemingly preferring it to 

 almost any grass. The plant makes 

 good green stuff for any stock, and 

 no farm should be without a few 

 acres of it. It yields a remarkable 

 abundance of green herbage. Hun- 

 garian Millet, re-cleaned, 6d. per 

 lb. ; 50/- per cwt. 



EGYPTIAN or PEARL MILLET 



EGYPTIAN MILLET is one of the 

 most wonderful forage plants that 

 have ever been introduced. Stock 

 eat it with great avidity. It can be cut 

 three or four times, sprouting readily and 

 growing rapidly after each cutting. It is 

 probably fully equal to Sweet Corn for 

 fodder, and will yield live times the 

 quantity on the same ground. If you have 

 riot tried it before give it a trial this 

 season. 4 lbs. of seed are sufficient for 

 an acre. Price, 2/- per lb.
