The Fodder Crop.

If likely to be short of pasture for the stock during the hot Bummer weather, and also for filling the silo for winter, provisión should be made for growing some fodder erop. For this purpose, says Southern Planter, there is the choice of several - corn (the best for the silo erop), millo-maize, sorghum and millet. Millomaize makes a great yield, either for green fodder or for silage. It should be planted like corn, but may be put closer in the row and in the drill. Sorghum, in addition to its valué aa a fodder erop, is important as a sirup plant, and will, for that purpose alone, pay well for cultivation, as there is always a market for good sirup. For a green fodder or hay erop, millet is an excellent erop, and if the land is rich anditbe sown eaxly, two crops may be easily cut in the year. It should be sown thickly and be cut when in bloom, and will then be f ound not to exhaust the land so much as has been often claimed. All these crops should be planted as early as possible, in order to be ready in the hot weather when the pastures need help.
