NOR-SAGCHARINE SORGHUNS. 
Kaffir Cormn—White or Red seeded. A variety of sor- 
ghum cultivated for both forage and grain. Grows 
from 4 to 6 feet high. It is generally grown in drills 
from 2 feet 6 inches to 3 feet 6 inches apart. So as to 
secure a good stand, it is necessary to thoroughly pul- 
verize the soil before sowing, and do not sow until the 
ground is warm. Sow about 12 lbs. of seed to the acre. :

TEKOSINTE. 
_ Teosinte is a valuable forage plant, resembling Field 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. At our own trials in Wisconsin, 
it produced a growth of 9 feet, full of strong side-shoots or suckers. that 
made a veritable bush out of each plant. 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, Teosinte should not be planted until the ground is warm; 80 degs. in continuous rows soas 
to 85 degs. is the most favorable temperature for its germination. to cultivate one way 12

Japanese Millet (Panicum crus-galli)—This Millet is entirely 
distinct from any_other, and is especially valuable for the 
Northern States. It yields an enormous crop of forage, which 
is greatly relished by stock. When cured it makes an ex- 
cellent Hay, its feeding value being much superior to Corn 
fodder. A splendid silage may be made by mixing two 
parts Japanese Millet with Sand Vetch or Soy Beans, form- 
ing a complete balanced rations for milch cows. Sow the
