FOR CATTLE AND POULTRY 



Kaffir Corn is a valuable forage plant, growing 'i3'2 to 6 feet high; it is stocky, erect, 

 and produces wide, luxuriant, succulent foliage, making excellent fodder, either green or 

 dried, and is highly relished by all kinds of stock. Each stallc produces from 2 to 4 heads of 

 grain. These heads are long and narrow. Kaffir Corn has the quality comm^on to all Sor- 

 ghums, of resisting droughts, and in this fact is to be found its peculiar value, especially in 

 Southern and Western sections; it has yielded paying crops of grain and forage even in seasons 

 so dry that Corn utterly failed. The culture is the same as for Field Corn, and when sown 

 alone Kaffir Corn should be broadcasted at the rate of from % to 1 bushel per acre. When 

 raised for forage it should be cut before heading out. For grain sow in rows 3 feet apart 

 using 3 to 5 lbs. of seed to the acre. In many sections Kaffir Corn is sown broadcast with 

 Cow Peas, using a peck of Kaffir Corn to a bushel of Cow Peas. It then acts as a support to 

 the Peas which produce a much larger crop when grown in this way. They can both be 

 harvested together, the combination making an enormous crop of highly nourishing feed. 



WHITE KAFFIK CORN 



Grows 4 to 5 feet high, with numerous 

 wide leaves. The grain crop is heavy 

 being sometimes 50 to 60 bushels to the 

 acre, and its nutritive value is almost as 

 good as other cereals. A fine food for 

 poultry. 10c. lb. ; 100 lbs. S8.00. 



RURAL BRANCHING 

 DOURA 



(MILLO MAIZE, SORGHUM VULGARE) 

 A wonderfully productive fodder plant 

 that makes a great amount of foliage, and 

 can be cut several times in the season. 

 Plant 4 to 5 lbs. to the acre. 12c. lb. ; 

 100 lbs. $10.00. 



YELLOW BRANCHING 

 DOURA 



(YELLOW MILLO MAIZE) 

 Earlier than the Rural Branching, and 

 of taller growth, often- attaining a 

 height of 9 to 12 feet, but it does not 

 stool out quite as much frorn the ground, 

 although it branches out from the joints. 

 It produces an enormous quantity of 

 fodder, for which stock show a marked 

 partiality. Plant 4 lbs. to the acre. 

 12c. lb.; 100 lbs. $10.00. 



JERUSALEM CORN 



Grows about five feet high, and is one 

 of the surest crops for dry countries and 

 seasons, having in the driest season in 

 the past 15 years in Kansas produced a 

 crop, without irrigation, when other 

 forage plants perished. Five pounds 

 will plant an acre. 12c. lb.; 100 lbs. 

 $10.00. 



TEOSINTE 



(REANA LUXURIANS) 

 The plant resembles Corn, but is 

 more leafy and tillers enormously. 

 After cutting, it grows again with re- 

 markable rapidity. Those having only 

 a small amount of land on which it is 

 desired to produce the maximum amount 

 of forage should sow Teosinte. , Plant 

 in drills, 6 to 8 lbs. per acre. 25c. 14 lb. ; 

 80c. lb. 



RED KAFFIR CORN 



This very leafy and juicy variety is taller but 

 more slender than the white, ripens a little earlier 

 and yields heavier. It is also valuable for sowing 

 on poor land, as it wiU give better results vinder 

 these conditions than the White Kaffir Corn, -as 

 well as other Sorghums, most of which require a 

 well-enriched soil. The stalks and leaves are 

 juicy and brittle, unlike most of the other Sorghums 

 and make very good fodder, which is greatly rel- 

 ished by cattle whether fed to them green or dry. 

 ti-ie grain or seed is readily eaten by all live stock 

 and poultry. (See engraving.) 10c. lb., 100 lbs. 

 S3.00. (For Sugar Cane and Broom Corn, see 

 page 25.)
