seed which is equal in value almost to oats for feed. Re- 
quires soil similar to corn, same cultivation, but should 
be planted some later in the season. Put ground in prime 
condition. We think that more of our Southern farmers

and hogs are fond of and thrive on them in Winter. One to one and a half bushels per 
acre. The leaf, stalk and panicle of this grass resembles those of other sorghums. It 
grows on any land where corn will grow, and, like the latter, the better the land the 
heavier the crop. It should be cut while tender, and then all live stock are. fond of it, 
for a few weeks are enough to render it so hard and coarse that animals refuse it or
