Il NEW FORAGE pLINI'

just now there seems to be 4 rage
for new sources Of food for stock
This can hardly bo because the old
ones havo failed or because some Of
those proposed arc notp poor enough.
When tho Prickly Confcy fever
started wo thought tho end had
been reached in that direction, but
the following from tho Gardeners
Monthly, for which S. w. Brooks,
of South Curolina, is directly re-
sponsible, shows that VIC were mis-
taken. Tho plant alluded to by Mr..
Brooks is known to boys and wood
men as "beggars ticks" or ''bcg-
gars' lice" "Thc yield Of this plant
is very great. 1t may bo cut three
times in u season, growing up re.
peatcdly from the old stumps, and
yielding many hundreds of pounds to
the acre at each cutting. The sam
piles which Mr.. Brooks carried to
Gainesville wcrc Of the second cut
ting of this year, and he will ccl~
talnly get ono and perhaps two
more cuttings. 1t is not II pcrcn~
nial, but the seed must be planted
each year. It produces well on
poor lands, but, of course, does
better on rich soils, Horses. mulcs
and cattle will eat it ND clean, stalks
and all, and thrive on it, It is boz
tanically allied to the Symphvt,m,
and we do not SEQ why it should not
do Just as we'll. The only objection
wo SEQ likely to be mado BY those
who have money to spend is that it
is not sfurrincr," Supposinc that
all which is thus urrol in favor of
this plant, and which have been
urged in favor Of the Prickly Com
frey aro true, in what way do they
surpass other crops with which wo
are much better acquainted? When
the market (Which is limitcd) is fully
supplied with PriclSly Comfrcv we
shall hoar no moro about it, but it
will probably be followed closely by
some other rhlmbug.-phiiudciphiu
