Sacajine—A New Forage Plant. 



This is not a new plant, having for many years been sold as an ornamental. But its 

 great qualities as a forage plant were first discovered in 1893, when a severe drought in 

 France, which burned out the other forage, compelled resort to Sacaline. To the sur- 

 prise and delight of all interested, it was found that horses, cattle and sheep ate it with 

 avidity, and throve on it in a most gratifying way. Since attention has been attracted to 

 Sacaline, leading scientific agriculturists have made it a subject of observation, and their 

 statements sustain the strong claims made as to its merits. Among these claims are, 

 that it is hardy even so far north as Siberia, endures without injury the greatest heat, 

 requires no plowing before planting, no cultivation, no manuring, no replanting; thrives 

 in wet and poor soil; stands forever when once planted; stems and leaves are greatly 

 relished by horses, cattle and sheep, and the young shoots are eaten like asparagus ; is 

 more nutritious than clover, is a good enricher of the soil, grows very fast, becoming a 

 bush 14 feet high by June, produces 90 to 180 tons of green forage per acre, can be cut 

 every month, and the roots penetrate so deeply that they cannot be destroyed by cattle.
