Willows as a Farm Crop.

We have been asked to give facts about
the cultivation and sale of willows for
discriminating, says the Homestead.
The largest user of basket willows we
know is A. Meineke & Co., Milwaukee
Wis. About willows and their use they
say: Although the useful plant prospers
well in this country, large quantities are
imported every year from Europe. Not
every farmer may be in position to cult
vate willows on a large scale, but almost
every farmer has a spare piece of land
where he can plant some without expend-
ing much labor. Although the principle
of varied cultivation and extras, such as
honey bees, etc, has many failures, yet
the planting of properly selected side lines
always insures success, as not every
planting will fail iii the same year. Will
low raising is certainly the most profitable
and practical side line cultivation, as 1t
is very simple in comparison to the atten-
ton required by many other plants on
which the profits are certainly much
smaller
low land is best suited, but high land
will also do. Land with too much water
and standing pools will not answer. The
cultivation is similar to that of corn. 1t
Is best to pillow in the fall and again In the
spring and keep all weeds out. Early in
April the plants or cuttings are stuck into
holes made with an iron point twelve
inches apart and in rows of three feet
apart, so that grass can be kept down
with cultivator and hoe.
These cuttings are made from two 10
3-year-old willows, and are about one foot
long. They are inserted leaving only
two or three eyes, or one or two inches
above the ground. In the first year only
a few switches will grow, which will in
crease In number. Every year in March
the willows are cut close to the stem. They
are tied up in bundles ten inches in diam
eter and placed in two or three inches Of
water. remaining there until the latter

some Forage Crops.

Prof. Massey says: IF there is a plant
in the whole world that can come any
where near Indian corn in producing food
for stock, we have never found 1t. on the
same land and in the same season, can
grow more food and better from an acre
of Indian corn than can from sorghum
Teosinte or pearl millet. Have never
grown any Kamr corn, but from what
we have seen of it we do not think 1t Will
eoual sorghum of the saccharine KINDS.
THE nearest approach to Indian corn IN
the production of fodder, but fodder OF an
inferior kind, is Teosinte QReana LlXu-
rians). For green fodder alone 1t Is ma "a

tom lands over twenty tons OF corn en-
silage per acre, and could never get any
yhere near that amount of sorghum from
the same land, and ton for ton the indian
corn ensilage is worth double that made
from the sorghum. The cultivation or
