Mr.. Wilson Of Raisen thought, in addition
to soaking it In warm water, it should be

Of gentlemen.
Mr.. Ingraham said plants of the same flow
ering would mix. Imphee, doury corn and
broom corn would mix because their flowers
were Of the same kind. Our maize or Indian
corn will not mix with sorghum. By q yiola-
ton Of nature. sometimes potato Wll grow
On an apple tree, and from the same operation
stalk, not otherwise.
John Service was satisfied sorEhum would
hybfi1fze with maize, as well as with millet
and broom corn. One of my ncfghbors had i
field Of FTench eight-rowed corn planted near
bis sorghum, and he found two perfect ears Of
this corn On sorghum stalk His own eSpe-
1ience was that it would mix The ears Of
corn be speaks OF were five or six inches long,
and looked like rice corn.
Mr. Tooker had seen sorghum suckers that
looked like ears Of corn.
MT STANDARD had planted sorghum and corn

proved Of superior quality, and made excel

w1s the best. He thought the 1mphee stalks
were the fullest Of saccharine matter. He
had Obtained quantity Of African seed from
Franco, and should try it this year.
o. n. Brainard said he planted the first year
near broom corn. 1t came up with broom
corn, and it vas poor. And the next
year the com from this seed was pithy
and contained no eaccharine matter. He was
satisfied that it would mix with Idnian corn
or that corn so deteriorates it as to, in 8 few
years, destroy its Eaccharine qualities.
Mr. John Richards said sorghum seed in this
latitude would inevitably detcriorate, because
the climate WAS an unnatural one for its
growth. He thought the Chinese the best
adapted to our climate. He thought the 1m-
phee made the handsomest syrup, but the
