KAFFIR CORN. — A New Forage Plant from the South.— Kaffir 

 Corn produces two to four 

 heads from a single stalk, 

 and in Georgia lias yielded 

 in a single season, by the 

 middle of October, two 

 crops of green fodder, and 

 a full crop of grain (50 to 60 

 bus. per acre.) The whole 

 stalk if cut down as soon 

 as seed heads appear, at 

 once starts a second growth 

 from the roots. It also 

 stands drought wonder- 

 fuliy. If growth is 

 checked tor want of mois- 

 ture the plant waits fir 

 rain, and when it comes, 

 g at once resumes its growth. 



* On very thin or worn-out 



* lands it yields paying 

 j crops of grain or forage, 

 J even in dry seasons 

 . when corn" has utterly 

 a failed. The whole stalk", 

 ; as well as blades, makes 

 : excellent fodder, and all 

 i stock eat it greedily. It 

 « is as early or quick in 

 ! growth as Minnesota 

 ; Amber Cane, and is 

 ' therefore reliable in any 

 ; latitude where Amber 

 i Cane has been found 

 ■I useful as a folder crop, 

 i Should be sown in drills 

 i and cultivated same as 

 « Indian Corn. Compared 

 s withothersorghums.Katnr 

 J Corn has proved itself to 

 , be early, abundant in 

 9 yield, reliable in all 

 5 seasons, and a superior 

 | crop for both quantitv and 



4 quality of its product. It 

 . keeps green, and stalk is 

 \ brittle and juicy to the 

 s last; is not a hard and 

 s cane-like growth such as 



* other sorghums. Flour

YELLOW 3IILO MAIZE.— This is another variety of the sorghum 

 family, and I cannot do better in describing it than by giving 

 the experience one of my customers (Judge Hudson, of 

 Mississippi,) had w ith it. " I planted it in my Irish potato 

 patch, four by two feet, three stalks to the hill, and about 

 200 hills, and cultivated as corn. It was a bold, vigorous 

 grower and deep-green color and continues so yet from 

 bottom to top ; grows eight to ten feet. About half way up 

 the stalk and on the top are numetous large shoots with 

 fine large blades on them like those of the main stalk, and on 

 which shoots are other shoots or suckers, all bearing fine 

 heads like the main head or stalk, but not quite so large, 

 until from midway the stalk up is a large mass of heads and 

 fodder. Some stalks have as high as twenty heads, weighing 

 from one-fourth to one pound per bead, and as fine heavy 

 blades as the best common com. One stalk w ill make a good, 

 rich feed or meal for a horse. It makes a leautiful. delicious, 

 and perfect pop-corn. There is no use to raise anything else 

 for horses, cattle, chickens or pop-corn. Fertilize and cul- 

 tivate well; nothing of its kind will pay as well. It will 

 mature

TEOSINTE. —So 

 many have spoken to me of 

 this " magnificent forage 

 plant that I am glad I have 

 at last been able to secure a 

 small quantity of seed. In 

 this latitude," planted July 

 3d, it produced from one 

 seed twenty-seven stalks, 

 and attained a height of 

 seven feet by September 10th, 

 making a luxuriant growth 

 of leaves, which the horses 

 and cattle ate as freely as 

 young sugar com. In ap- 

 pearance somewhat resem-

 leaves are much longer and / 1! -itf0^5* s Ai , Pi 1 ' V \liL Jivf , 



tains sweeter sap. In its 

 perfection it produces a great 

 number of shoots, growing 

 twelve feet high, very thick- 

 ly covered with lea v e s, 

 yielding sur-h an abundance 

 of forage that one plant is 

 considered to be 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. So stalks have 

 been grown from one seed, 

 attaining a height of 11 feet.
