This is most valuable food for hogs
and fowls, too, eat it greedily. This
crop can be planted from May to July,
in rows three feet apart, dropping the
seed about a foot apart in the row.
The precaution of soaking the seed
from one TO three days before plant
ing is necessary to secure a good
stand, but after the soaking they
should be planted during dry spell.
The soil should be moist when the
seed are put in. About two hundred
pounds of any good fertilizer will be
sufficient for an acre. The plants
when the first appear above the
ground, look like coarse nut grass. Two
plowings, and the same i1uinbsr OF
hoeings, will generally be sufficient to
keep down any weeds and grass, and
in about two months the ground will
be covered with the rank green tops,
which are excellent food for cattle
and horses. The crop natures In about
three months, and hogs then turned
