DWABP YELLOW MILO MAIZE.— This is a splendid 

 non-spccharine Sorghum feed crop. In the lower and more 

 humid districts it grows to a height of from 6 to 10 feet, 

 while on the other hand crops raised in higher regions

 stems are very leafy and keep green and brittle, unlike 

 other sorghums, which harden. Makes an excellent fodder, 

 either green or dried. For grain, sow 10 pounds to the

 half to one bushel, either broadcast or in drills. Very 

 good poultry feed. Sow from ]\Iarch to June. 1 lb., 35c.,

 Corn, makes good fodder, in some instances made an ex- 

 cellent yield of grain without having received any rain 

 from the day it was planted until it was harvested. No 

 variety of seed of any kind has ever sprung so suddenly 

 into such popular favor. Feterita has taken the country 

 by storm. Fifteen pounds per acre. Sow from March to

EVERGREEN" BROOM CORN. — There are many farmers 

 who m.ake this a most profitable crop. One acre will pro- 

 duce about 500 cwt. of brush and nearly 40 bushels of 

 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 

 should grow Broom Corn for market. It is profitable. 

 Frequently planted in drills Z^z feet apart, leaving plants 

 6 inches apart; 20 pounds to an acre. Sow during March 

 and April. 1 lb., 40c,, postpaid; Yz bu., $2.75; 46 lb. bu.,

JOHNSON GRASS. — Perennial and has cane-like roots, 

 or, more properly, underground stems, from the size of a 

 goose ciuill to that of the little finger. These roots are 

 tender, 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 resem])les those of other sorg- 

 hums. 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 • 

 coarse and hard that animals refuse it or eat it sparingly. When once planted it cannot 

 be eradicated. Sow during Marrch and April. 1 lb., 40c., postpaid; Yz ^^-i $2.50; 25 lb. 

 bu., $5.00, not prepaid.

 or oats. Seed may be sown any time in August and make a crop of hay. By beginning 

 sowing early in March and sowing the first of every month up to September for the 

 Southern States, we can have fine soiling crops all through our hot Summer months. 

 The seeds are highly valuable for poultry and for stock of all kinds. One-half bushel 

 per acre. 1 lb., 35c., postpaid; Yz ^u., $3.00; 50 lb. bu., $5.50, not prepaid.
