KAKFFIR CORN.— 
A New Forage Piant 
from the South,.—Katir 
Corn produces two to four 
heads from a single stalk, 
and in Georgia has yielded 
in asingle season, by the 
middie of October, two 
crops of green fodder, and 
a full cropot grain (50 to 60 
bus. per acre.) The whole 
stalk if cut down as soon 
as seed heads appear, at 
once starts asecond growth 
from the roots. It also 
stands drought wonder- 
fully. If growth is 
checked for want of mois- 
ture the plant waits for 
rain, and when it comes, 
at once resumes its growth. 
On very thin or worn-out 
lands it yields paying crops 
of grain or forage even in 
dry seasons when corn has 
utterly failed. The whole 
stalk, as well as blades. 
makes excellent fodder, 
andallstock eatit greedily. 
It is as early or quick in 
growth as Minnesota Am- 
ber Cane, and is therefore 
reliable in any latitude 
where Amber Cane has 
been found useful as a fod- 
der crop. Should be sown 
in drills and cultivated 
same as Indian Corn. Com- 
pared with other sorghums 
Kaffir Corn has proved 
itself to be early, abundant 
in yield, reliable in all 
seasons, and a superior 
erop for both quantity and 
quality of its product. It 
keeps green, and stalk is 
brittle and juicy to the 
last: is not a hard and 
eane-like growth such as 
other sorghums. Flour 
yaade from Kaffir Corn is excellent for batter cakes, muffins, 
slightly sweetish taste, otherwise is not distinguished from wheat.

SUGAR CORN FOR GREEN FODDER.—Profitable as green feed for 
milch cows. It is sweeter and more nutrilious and eaten more readily than 
fodder from Field Corn. Peck, 75 cents; Bushel, $1.75.

TEOSINTE.—So many 
have spoken to me of this 
magnificent forage plant that 
Tam glad I have at last been 
able to secure a small quan- 
tity of seed. In this latitude, 
planted July 3d, it produced 
from one seed, twenty-seven 
stalks, and attained a height 
| of seven feet by Sept. 10th, 
making a luxuriant growth of 
leaves, which the horses and 
eattle ate as freely as young 
sugar corn. In appearance 
somewhat resembles Indian 
Corn, but the leaves are much 
longer and broader, and the 
stalk contains sweeter sap. 
In its perfection it produces a 
great number ofshoots, grow- 
ing twelve feet high, very 
thickly covered with leaves, 
yielding such an abundance 
of forage that one plant is 
sufficient 
to feed a pair of cattle for 
24 hours. In the South it 
surpasses either Corn or 
Sorghum as a soiling or 
fodder-plant. 85 stalks have 
been grown from one seed, 
attaining a height of 11 feet. 
Packet, 15 cents; 14 pound,
