soils. Many farmers are mixing this with their Red 
Clover when sowing in spring. A bushel weighs 60

to the acre. A well-known and favorite winter cover- 
crop and soil enricher, affording excellent early for-

4 to 6 feet, with branches whose extremities bear 
numerous small white flowers of great fragrance dur- 
ing the whole season, which are continuously sought

compact, with bristles usually purplish. German 
Millet is a fine crop for both soiling and hay. For 
the latter purpose it must be cut just as it begins to 
head before blooming, for it is liable to injure stock 
after the seeds are formed. It is ready for use in 
sixty or sixty-five days after sowing. When used 
at the proper stage of development it is one of the 
most valuable of soiling plants. A bushel weighs 
48 pounds.

acre. It grows well on light soils, and withstands 
heat and drought. A bushel weighs 48 pounds.

winter in well-drained soils. It is a perennial, but drops 
its seeds freely, and will come up year after year on the 
same ground. It sown in September it will make ex- 
cellent forage the following spring. The top is small and 
inconspicuous at the start, but the root-system is
