were cut at the same time, the first two inches from 
the ground, the second five inches. Seven days after the 
shoots of the first were only six inches long, while those of 
the second were ten. This tends to confirm the opinion of 
Mons. Joignaux, that it should not be cut close to the ground 
when a second crop is desired. 
An extract of a letter, dated December, 1858, from Prince 
de Looz-Corsvvarem, is as follows : el The results which I have 
obtained this year have evidently proved that the society, in 
introducing the sorgho into our canton, have rendered a 
great service to agriculturists, by enabling them to feed a 
greater number of cattle. This plant, which is superior to 
any other yet known, both in quality and in quantity, as 
forage, is easily cultivated, and with but little preparation. I 
have sown it on a meadow which had only been turned up 
with the plough, and that in a very dry season ; nevertheless 
it attained a height of two metres, and was devoured with 
great avidity by the cattle.” 
The report contains several more letters on the subject. 
They all agree as to the quality and quantity of this plant, 
and the great benefits which it is likely to produce, par¬ 
ticularly in dry summers, as well as its adaptation to all sorts 
of land. In one instance, when it had not been cut, it 
attained a height of eleven feet. It is now r cultivated in the 
provinces of Brabant, Limbourg, and Hainaut, from seeds 
obtained in the Canton of Huy.— 1Extract from a report of the

still in good condition. From time to time he presented 
symptoms of inflammation of the conjunctiva, but which dis¬
