Hungarian grass has no superior when well made. 



" A correspondent of the Prairie Farmer , Mr- 

 Philips, of Butler Co., states that the premium acre 

 at the last fair of that county yielded eight tons and 

 two hundred pounds of well cured hay."-( Cultivator.) 



Colman says of millet : " I wish my countrymen 

 were more impressed with the extraordinary value of 

 this plant. I know few plants which make a more 

 abundant return, or which, when it is well cured. 

 give a more nutritious forage, or one more relished 

 by stock/' 



In 1854, Lawes and Gilbert sowed some clover seed 

 in a rich garden. They say : u The estimated total 

 amount of green clover obtained from this garden soil 

 in six years without further manure is about 126 

 tons per acre, equal to about 26 \ tons of hay." 



" Fourteen cuttings have been taken without any 

 re-sowing of seed." 



Why was no re -seeding required during the six 

 years ? It was either because the soil was so very 

 rich, or because it was cut so oiten and so early that 

 no seed could mature ; and it may be the nature of 

 clover to live on till seeds are developed. 



Besides the plants above mentioned, I advise you 

 to have one, two, or three acres of orchard grass. 

 And to use every available means to make the land 

 very rich. It will be ready the first of all to mow in 

 the spring. By top-dressing it in the fall, or very 

 early in the spring it will never fail never run out. 



All the plants above mentioned, have peculiar 

 merits of their own ; hence the great advantage of 

 having a patch of each near the bam for summer 

 noiling, as well as for winter forage.
