years and is highly recomjnend*Kl l)y the leading agricultural writers. It in a variety of non-saccharine sorghum and distinct from all others of this 
class. It does not stool from the roots, but branches from the top joints, producing two, three and four heads of grain from each st-alk. The average 
height on good land is about o feet, but the ataUca 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 moisture, the plant waits terrain and tlien at once resiunes its progress without 
any apparent detriment to its condition ; indeed, reports show that it has never failed to produce a good crop in the most disastrous seasons. 
The whole stalk, as well as the blades, cures into excellent fodder, and in all stages of its growth is available for green feed. AH l<inds of cattle are 
fond of it. Kaffir Corn may be planted very early in the spring, and should be sown in rows al)out 3 feet apart, li-sing about three or four pounds per 
acre. It can bo grown as far north as Minnesota, and is therefore desirable for cultivation in all parts of this country. Pkt. (2 oz.) lOc, lb. 25c, 3

best milk producer of all the field ensilage corns, being almost as sweet and tender as 
sugar corn. It will outyield the Red Cob Ensilage Corn, and is more valuable because 
some ten to twelve days earlier. It is the most ix!rf eet ensilage corn I have found in my
