'MILLET FOR SIlO
AND FOR HAY

This crop is an exceedingly valuable
ono, although, perhaps. because 1t is
80 easily grown 1t is not popular.
Last year a crop of millet was sown
In a four-acre field that had been In
pasture for several years and had bocn
we'll manured. One bushcl of seed
per acre was sown The crop grow
thickly and tall-ncarIy six feet-be-
fore the heads began to appear. and
was cut before half the heads had
emerged from the sheaths. The four
acres yielded twenty-five two-horse
wagon loads of half-cured fodder,
which was put into n small silo six
teen by twenty and fifteen feet deep.
The fodder fed eight head of horses
and colts. two yoke of working oxen,
fifteen head of two and three-year-
steers AID heifers, fourteen yearlinEs
and bull. equal to forty-two head
for eleven weeks. and the fodder was
eaten greedily to the last without any
waste. AT this rate one acre would
have fed one head for one hundred
and fifteen weeks. or more than two
years. Then what better or cheaper
crop is there than this. which occupies
the ground only three months. requires
no cultivation and costs for all ex-
penses not more than four dollars per
acre? But 1t needs good soil and
earlier sowing than usual.
Millet can be cut for hay with
mower In the same manner as tim
othy or any other hay crop. 1t usu-
ally stands erect and does not often
interfere with the perfect operation
OF the mower. That which is cut
early In the morning. If. there is
abundant sunshine, can usually be
raked into windows late in the after
noon. 1t Is we'll, however, to allow II
to cure in the swath about one day,
after which 1t can be rakcd into |
windows and allowed TO cure euR
ciently to be placed in cocks like tim
othy. After standing a week or moro |
In the cock 1t can then be stacked or |
baled. Millet hay sheds water we'll. |
