having it set to SOW the desired
quantity. Set for a bushel or a
buShel and a quarter of wheat
the quantity might be about right
for Kafir corn depending, of
course, upon the size of the drill,
or rather its width.
The foregoing pertains to plant
ny for forage and grain. and
when grain is especially desired
1t should always be planted in
rows and cultivated, as is corn.
Tor hay or fodder it should be
SOwn thickly and the greatest
yield may be obtained by broad
casting, or sowing with a drill,
set to SOW a bushel and a half of
wheat per acre, with all holes
open and this will SOW nearly a
bushel and a half of Kafir.
Harvesting for forage and feed
is probably best done with a corn
binder whcih leaves the Kafir
corn in bundles of convenient size
for handling. These are stood up
in large shocks to cure, and not
lnfrequently these shocks stand
in the field into and through the
winter without extensive damage
from the weather, but in some To-
calities birds make away with con
siderable quantities Of the seed.
If the seed is to be saved Separ-
ately it is headed and thrashed
by the common grain separator.
If the seed is to be fed on the
fodder an inexpensive method of
harvesting is with the ordinary

Kaffir Corn-Its Worth and Cul-
ivation.

@V0V4Vus
Use of the various SOrghumS
as forage, and some of them for
grain as well, is becoming more
and more noticeable, and is eS-
pecially important where live
stock husbandry is prominent and
particularly in the plains regions.
On soils of high or low fertility
they yield crops having quite ac-
ceptahle values, but they do not
prosper in fields too foul for other
crops, and should receive as good
treatment as is required for sue
cess with Indian corn.
While the family is large one
from the view point Of the stock
man, it may be divided into two
general claSses-the sacharine or
sweet sOrghumS, and the nOn-sach
arine, Far and away the foremost
OF the nOn-Sacharine sOrghums is
Kaffir corn, and something of a
comparison of its popularity with
others is indicated by the Stats
lies, which show larger areas of il
than any other sorghum for grain
and forage. Milo grows a head
quite similar to Kaffir, is a heavy
'yielder of fodder, and is more es-
pecially adapted to the drier pOr-
tiOns of the southwest, as it re-
quires a full and favorable season
for maturing and consequently Is
more liable to damage by frost.
Kaffir corn not only produces
a foliage of excellent forage quail
ity, but its seed is, as a grain, al
most if not quite equal to Ind an
corn, practical farmers and scien-
lists affirm, while is successfully
and prOfitably grown on high
land or low, rich or poor, and
whether the season be wet or dry.
Those who have become ac-
quaiuted with Kaffir corn are
planting a larger per cent of theil
poorest land to it yearly and con-
filming their Indian corn to the
best, and even then the Kaffir in
some seasons considerably ex-
ceeds the Indian corn in quantity
of both grain and fodder. With

In Kansas foremost sorghum
state shows the value of Kaffir
corn, for the farmers purposes,
to be very appreciably greater
than that of sorghum, this being
due to the large quantity Of grain
produced by the Kaffir.
Such conditions fOrcibly suggest
for Kafir an early advance in pub
lie esteem from among the ex-
elusive forage plants to a place
among the most esteemed flesh,
fat and milk making foods. In
nearly all the counties in Kan
saS showing the heaviest values
IN cattle, the larger areas in Kafil
corn. strongly supplemented by
alfalfa prevail, and the same as
to the value of animals slaughter
ed or sold for slaughter, and out
put of dairy products. By the fact
that Kafir corn has a wide adapt
ability, and is strong resistant
to heat and dryneSs, with proved
feeding qualities, with an abun-
dance of the carbohydrates or fat
producing elements, it is a crop
deserving of more general appre-
citation and planting. Indian corr
of course, is the premier product
Of our soils. but Kafir will not
only generally thrive where the
former grows but will flourish in
soils and climates not so cOngen-
lal to Indian corn.
While there is no material DIFF
ference in hte main, as to climatic
limits for Indian corn and Kafir
corn, the latter it seems requires
a slightly warmer atmosphere for
its best development. Then, too,
precautions not so essential in
planting corn should be taker
with Kafir, for it is a rather weak
germinatOr, and its shoots are at
first very delicate and tender.
The seeds. are small and hence do
not contain much stored food for
for plant growth. Therefore until
a roOt-hOld is gained in the soil,
the plant is nourished only by the
seed, and but slow growth is made
in its early stages. 1t should not
be planted until the soil is well
warmed. Properly, and as a gen.
eral rule this should follow corn.
Listing, but not quite so deep as
for corn, is common in the drier
sections. The rows there should
be about three to three and one
half feet wide, and the seed drop
ped from four to eight inches
apart in the row, which requires
six to eight pounds for an acre.
For regions of more rainfall best
results are obtained by drilling in

corn can be laid between the
stakes with the. heads over the
rack, and a man on the rack at
one end of the block with a broad
axe can cut the heads from
bundle or armful as fast as three
men can lay the bundles between
the stakes; in the block" When
the dry heads may be cut off,
stacked and thrashed like other
headed grain. In the drier sec
lions if not planted too thickly,
it does not grow so high that it
cannot be cut with an ordinary
grain harvester, .and this method
is quite extensively used in some
portions.
For hay or fodder the ordinary
way is to cut with a mower, cure
properly, and put in large cocks.
For such purposes it should be
cut when most of the seeds or
heads are in the milk or early
dough stage. At this time more
nOuriShment will be found in the
stalks and leaves; besides not be-
ing so hard as when fully ma
tured, it is more easily digested.
animals eat it more readily, and
there is less waste. Some farmers
make the mistake of cutting too
early, with the view of getting a
second crop, but this is not pro-
fitable. Cutting any feed before
the blooming period may give a
yield large in bulk, but the max
imum of nutriment will not be
there. One crop is all that SHOULD
be expected of one seeding. In
feeding, many prefer mixing it
with the sweet sOrghumS, in equa.
parts, as stock seem to relish the
mixture more than either alone.
A very notable popularity Of
Kafir corn, and one which makes
it of unusual Importance in reg
ions of limited rainfall, is that its
growth may be suspended, per-
hapS a month on account of Sc
we're dry weather, and then when
the rains come it continues its
growth almost the same as if
there had been no interruption.
Under normal conditions Kafir
should be ready to harvest for
hay about 105 days after plant
ing, and for grain in about 125
days.
Those unacquainted with the
merits of Kafir corn will do well
to give it trial in a small way,
for where it is grown most ex-
tensively it has been found a very
valuable acquisition.
