DESCRIPTION OF OUR CHOICE KAFFIR CORN. 
Yields heavily even on the poorest soils. This wonderful forage plant has become very popular in all 
'of America the past three years and is highly recommended by the leading agricultural writers. It is 
ety of non-saccharine sorghum 
and distinct from all others of 
this class. It does not stool 
from the roots, but branches 
from the topjoints, producing 
two, three and four heads of 
grain from each stock. The 
average height on good land 
is about 5 feet, but the stalks 
are very strong and never 
known to blow down in 
ordinary wind storms. It has 
the valuable quality of resisting 
drouth, and if the growth is 
checked for want of moist- 
ure, the plant waits for rain 
and then at once resumes its 
progress without any apparent 
detriment to its condition; in- 
deed, reports show that It has 
never failed to produce a good 
crop in the most disastrous 
seasons. The whole stalk, as 
iwell as the blades, cures into 
lexcellent fodder, and in all 
stages of its growth is avail- 
able for green feed. All kinds 
of Cdttle are fond of It. Kaffir 
Corn may be planted very 
early in the spring, and 
should be sown in rows about 
3 feet 11 part, using about 
three or four pounds per acre. 
It can be grown as far north 
as Minnesota, and is there- 
fore desirable for cultivation 
In all parts of this country.
