The P&W railroad is expected to

will be short distance west of the pre-

dl'ings bran and cottonseed meal for
my milch COWS. i had very good
feed, butt since i have been USING the
Kaffir corn instead find great inn
provement i'm the milk flow.
If We plant the Kaffir corn in this
sedbiOn about the middle of March, we
can reasonably expect 'to he able to
cut it for green feed 10y the middle of
May 1t differs Incidentally from the
m'Illet family, in THAT lit does not tiller
from the roots, butt sends out suckers
from the first joint when it is cut, and
the Oftener we cut it the tmOre it
stools and increases i'm bulk, provid-
ing, of course, the soil lbs rich enough
to do so and cultivation kept UP. IT
cures into excellent fodder, and, cured
or green, stock of all kinds are very
fond off lit, AMID it retains it's sweetness
and natural aroma longer ttham even
we1l-cured hay.
There is ONE peculiarity about it, in
THAT if itis heaVEly feltilized with nj
trOgen it gets coarse and woody, and
the grain will be light and mott Well
filed out, but if We use plenty of pot
ash and a liberal Quantity of phos-
phOl'ic acid it will prevent all THAT and
make good, well+fDled grain. IF | We're
compelled to use a made-up fertilizer,
| would want for this crop no to IL per
cent potash, s to 10 phOsphOlAfc acid
and 4 to nitrogen. i would apply of
thIls all that | would think the soil
COULD conveniently utilize to advam-
taIge, taking into consideration it's
physical condition, and at the filSt cut
ting repeat the dose, and then j would
make sure of gelGuing good return for
money invested i'm fertilizers. There
are two kinds of this corn "a red ana
a white / much prefer The red. 1t
does not grow as tam as the white va
rie5y, but yields better; but, be it red
or white THAT we grow, let us not for
get to potash the soil we'll, and then
we will gdt satisfactory RETURNS, and l
find from practical observation almost
everywhere THAT the most successful
farmer or fruit grower is the one who
uses potash with Mberal hand on his
trees or crops. Amy one can verify
this for himself by observing the beau

on, and trees not so 'treaited are sickly
looking, yellow leaVed, and have a gel,
