YELLOW MILLO MAIZE, or 
YELLOW BLANCHING DHOURA. 
Another new variety of sorghum, valua- 
ble for both forageand grain. Itsgrowth 
is tall, nine to twelve feet, stooling from 
the ground like the white Millo Maize. 
It sends out shoots also from the joints. 
The seed heads grow to great size, often 
weighing a full pound after being fully 
ripe. The heads are set close and solid, 
with alarge, plump grain, double the size 
of White Millo, and of deep golden yel- 
low color. In shape, the seed head is 
thick, well shouldered, solid, never long: 
and narrow, and by reason of size and 
weight, each head is the full equal in 
grain to a fine ear of corn. The heads 
begin to turn down usually as soon as 
formed, and when ripe hang on short 
goose-neck stems. The grain makes most 
excellent feed for horses, cattle, chickens 
or human food. It will mature its main 
head in 100 days and still go on matur- 
ing others until cut down by frost. Pkt.,

WHITE MILLO MAIZE, or DHOURA. A grain, of 
South American origin, which we have distributed largely 
the past six seasons. It can be cut repeatedly for green feed, 
or for fodder. It stools or branches freely; the mass of foliage it 
produces is enormous, and it stands dry weather well. Plant 
in April, in rows three by four feet apart, five to eight seeds 
in a hill, requiring two pounds to the acre, and cultivate as 
corn. Post-paid, pkt., 10c.; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75¢e.; by express

best variety for sugar, as it matures quickly, and has been 
cultivated as far North as St. Paul, Minn. Theseed is valua- 
ble also as food for horses and cattle, and is greedily eaten by 
poultry, increasing the egg production. For ensilage or fod- 
der, it possesses important advantages. By mail, post-paid,

seed is twice as great. * One hundred and twenty-five bush- 
els to the acre have been grown at a less expense than corn. 
It is highly recommended for poultry; the best egg-produc- 
ing food known. The leaves make splendid fodder, much 
relished by all kinds of stock. The seed is good feed for 
horses, and yields a fine quality of oil. The strong, thick 
stalks are used for fuel. Oz.,5c.; qt., 20c.; (qt:, post-paid, 35c.;)

ARTICHOKE ROOTS. 
Three bushels will seed an acre. 
Jerusalem. This 
variety is not pro- 
duced from seed. 
They are sometimes. 
used as a table vege- 
table when pickled, 
but their greatest 
value is for feeding 
stock. They are the 
best hog-food known 
and are now attract- 
ing much attention 
} on account of their 
great fattening prop- 
erties, great produc- 
tiveness (over one 
y thousand bushels 
having been grown on an acre) and ease with which they can 
be'grown. ‘Tney need not be dug in the fall; thehogsshould 
be turned in on them, and will help themselves by rooting 
forthem. One acre will keep from twenty to thirty heads 
in fine condition from October until April, except when the 
ground is frozen too hard for them toroot. They are also 
said to bea preventive of choleraand other hog diseases; and 
they are also highly recommended for milch cows, increasing 
the yield of milk and at the same time improving their con- 
dition. They are well adapted to any soil where corn or 
potatoes canbe grown. The tubers should be cut Same as 
potatoes, one eye to a cut being sufficient, planted in April 
or May, in rows three feet apart and two feet in the rows, 
and covered about twoinches deep. To destroy them, they 
should be plowed under when the plant is about a foot high, 
at which time the old tuber has decayed and new ones are 
not yet formed. They can be shipped at any time during the 
season, as they are not injured by freezing. Lb., 35e.; 3 l1bs.,
