make splendid food for poultry, fed either in the grain or 
ground and cooked. Excellent forage. Cultivate same as 
common corn, requiring four or five pounds per acre. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
This plant is extensively grown for forage, especially for 
sheep, and for green manure. Prepare the ground as for 
turnips and sow in June or July in rows two and a half 
feet apart at the rate of two and a half pounds of seed 
per acre. 
SORGHUM OR CANE 
EARLY AMBER SORGHUM. Furnishes a large yield of 
most nutritious forage, which can be fed either green or 
cured, and will yield two or three cuttings a year, stooling 
out thicker each time it is cut. It grows ten or twelve feet 
high. Sow at the rate of one peck per acre in drills three 
and a half to four feet apart. 
EARLY ORANGE SORGHUM. This variety is similar in 
growth to Early Amber, but under fair conditions produces 
a heavier crop. It is better for stock feeding than the 
Amber. 
BUCKWHEAT 
JAPANESE. This variety yields very largely. The kernels 
are larger than other sorts, but owing to its branching quali- 
ties it need not be sown so thickly. 
SILVER HULL. A superior variety in every way to the 
ordinary Buckwheat which it has almost entirely superseded.

are Choice Northern grown, all heavy oats, which have been
