New Japanese Millet 



Grows from four to seven feet tall, but is not 

 harsh and woody, as other grasses and is one of 

 the most profitable and valuable seed crops. I 

 have grown this splendid Millet for years, and 

 have been so careful in the selectionandimprove- 

 ment of the stock seed that Buckbee's strain is 

 acknowledged to be the best in existence. In 

 some sections of the country it is known as Barn- 

 yard Millet, while in other parts of the countrv it 

 has been erroneously introduced under the na"me 

 of "Billion Dollar Grass." In spite of these 

 names it is such a good thing that it has come to 

 stay, and will live long in the public favor under 

 its proper name, Japanese Millet. In this lati- 

 tude we usually sow from Jlay 10th to 20th. 

 Sown at these dates it will make an excel'ent 

 soiling crop, giving two cuttings — about mid- 

 July and late August. I have frequently had 

 this Millet attain a heighth of six and one-half 

 to seven feet, and so heavy that no binder could 

 handle it. It yields 50 to 70 bushels seed per 

 acre and three to five tons hay. Sow the seed 

 broadcast at the rate of twenty to twenty-five 

 pounds tc the acre, or in drills twelve to eighteen 

 Inches apart, using ten to fifteen pounds per 

 acre. Postpaid, lb 20c. ; 3 lbs SOc. By express 

 or freight, not prepaid, i bu. 40c.; i bu. 65c.; 

 i bu. $1.10; bu, (36 lbs.) $1.95; 2 bu. $3.80; 10 

 bu. or more at $1.85 per bu. 



Pearl Millet 



This quick-growing forage plant has been long 

 known under the name East India, or "Cat-tail" 

 Millet. Sown in drills four feet apart and culti- 

 vated like Corn, the plants attain a height of 

 eight to ten feet with slender, long-bladed leaves. 

 These stalks can be cured for Winter use, and the 

 seed makes an excellent poultry food. But the 

 best use of the plant is to cut the stalk for green 

 forage when about three feet high, and allow 

 the plants to make a second growth for Fall 

 feeding or ensilage. Ten pounds of seed are re- 

 quired per acre. Postpaid, lb. 25c ; 3 lbs. 70c. 

 By express or freight, not prepaid, 5 lbs. 7Sc. ; 

 10 lbs. $1.25: 25 lbs. $2.65. 



MILLETS 



Nothing pays better for a stock raiser and dairy farmer 

 than a few acres of Millet of some kind for it not only yields 

 it least again as much hay per acre as Timothy and'C'lover, 

 but it is also of the greatest feeding value and milk-pro- 

 ducing quality. The hay is a very fine quality and is 

 greatly relished by aU kinds of stock. When .Spring is so 

 unfavorable that other crops fail to grow, or when the sea- 

 son is so late and wet that corn will not mature any more, 

 then there is always the greatest demand for Miflet. It 

 should, however, be sown regularly every year, and not 

 merely as a catch crop.
