cads of grain from each stalk. Average height on good land is about 
feet, but the stalks are very strong and never known to blow down in 
ordinary wind storms. It has the valuable quality of resisting 
drought, and if the growth is checked for want of moisture, the plant 
waits for rain, then resumes its progress at once without any apparent 
detriment to its condition; indeed, report shows that it has never 
failed to produce a good crop in the most disastrous season. The 
whole stalk, as well as the blades, cure into excellent fodder, and in 
all stages of its growth is available for green feed. All kinds of cattle 
are fond of it. Kaffir corn may be planted very early in the spring, 
and should be sown in rows about 3 feet apart, using about 3 or 4 
pdunds to the acre. It can be grown as far north as Minnesota, and 
is therefore desirable for cultivation in all parts of this country.
