★ FORAGE CROPS ★ 
SORGHUM 
or CANE 
KAFFIR 
CORN 
The growth is on the order of corn and rapid. May be pas¬ 
tured by all stock. Feed gradually at first to prevent bloat¬ 
ing. Valuable soiling crop. 
Sorghum may be cut and dried, and fed to all farm live¬ 
stock. Does well all over the East and South. "Early Am¬ 
ber" is the preferred variety. Never pasture after plants 
are frosted, as a bad poison then develops. 
Grows five to seven feet tall. Stems bear numerous wide 
leaves. Stalk is brittle and juicy. Makes excellent fodder, 
either green or dry, highly relished by stock. Produces heavy 
crop of seed, 50 to 60 bushels—useful for poultry feed. 
. . . For grain sow in rows three feet apart, sowing four 
to seven pounds seed per acre. . . . For fodder sow a 
bushel per acre, broadcast or in drills. Plant late May or 
early June for grain. . . . Late May to July for forage.

PASTURE 
MIXTURE 
for HOGS—SHEEP—CATTLE—POULTRY 
Here is a mixture of quick-growing seeds, made especially 
for farmers who want green feed with little trouble. 
Under favorable conditions, you will get a satisfactory 
growth in four weeks. Makes fine pasture for hogs or sheep. 
For cattle, most farmers cut the growth and haul it to 
the stock in the barn. This prevents damage from stamp¬ 
ing. After the growth is cut, it will come up again. 
Pasturage from this mixture helps to produce flesh, fat, 
wool, and dairy products. Must not be sown before June 
1st, and not later than August 1st. It will continue to grow 
until frost, but will not Winter through. 
Plant at the rate of about 70 pounds per acre, either 
broadcast or with a seeder. Then harrow it in. It may also 
be sown with a grain drill.
