As a pasture crop for cattle, sheep and 
swine it has no superior. When graze<l 
down it will (luiekly spring up a^ain, hence 
a hirgc amonnt of pasture may be obtained 
from it at a season when it is most dilficult 
to obtain pasture from other sources. As a 
selling crop it will always prove of^reat 
value, since at least two crops can be ob- 
tained from one sowing, but its hi;rhest 
value as food for stock is found in the enor- 
mous yields of fodder. When properly 
(frown it may be thus fed during more than 
half the year.
