unbranched, one and one half to four
feet high; leaves very long and broad,
rough, spike usually large, from two
inches long in the smaller forms to

plish and nodding; bristles either

This is one of the most useful of our
cultivated ANIMALS. There are many
different varieties in cultivation, such
as German millet, Hungarian grass,
Golden millet, etc. AS it is usually
ready for cutting Gf for hay) in from
two to two and one half months
after sowing, it is an excellent catch
crop when others fail, and can be
sown after most other crops are in,
and will then have plenty of time to
mature. The yield of hay is usually
heavy one. When used for hay, it
should be cut as soon as possible after
heading. If allowed to stand until
the seeds are well formed, it
is thought to have bad eff
feet upon the kidneys of animals
to which it is fed. On the other hand
ground millet seed has been used for
fattening hogs with good results. Be-
cause of its early maturity and the pos
sibility of its being sown late and har-
vested early, millet is an excellent
crop to use in fighting certain perni-
cious weeds, as, for example, the Rus
sian thistle. Cut worms seldom damage
it or even the crop following it the
next season. A specimen analysed as

A Freak Dinner.

A strange freak OF the dinner-hour
is reported as happening in Paris, that
city of surprises. The dinner, says
the account, was apparently intended
to depict the feeding-time at the
geological gardens. Every guest had
to disguise himself or herself as an
animal. The result was that leopards
and Holsters, birds and insects, swim
ming things and climbing things, and
all manner of savage beasts sat down
to the table. One man went as a
drake, one woman as q panther, and
the dresses were remarkably real.
1t was queer dinner company.
