TEOSINTE. 



Teosinte is a valuable forage plant, resembling corn very much in its 

 habit of growth, but throwing out side-shoots or suckers in much 

 greater profusion. It is very rich in saccharine and altogether furnishes 

 a more desirable fodder than ordinary field corn. It is greedily eaten 

 by all kinds of stock, either in the green state or when cured as hay. 

 Sow at the same time as corn, in hills; just as close as they can be 

 conveniently worked. It should not be planted until the ground is 

 warm; 80 degs. to 85 degs. is the most favorable temperature for its 

 germination. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 30c; 1 lb. 90c; by mail, 2 lbs., 

 sufficient for 1 acre $1.75

MILLETS 



(Subjeet to Market Fluctuations.) 

 Japanese Millet (Panicum crus-galli) — Is entirely distinct 

 from any other. It yields an enormous crop of forage, 

 which is greatly relished by stock. When cured it makes 

 excellent Hay. A splendid silage may be made by mixing 

 two parts Japanese Millet with Sand Vetch or Soy Beans, 

 forming a complete balanced ration for milch cows. Sow 

 the Seed broadcast at the rate of 30 lbs. to the acre, or in 

 drills 12 to 18 inches apart, using 15 to 20 lbs. per acre.
