This Millet was imported from Japan and introduced by Prof. Brooks of Amherst Agricultural College. As a green forage crop it at once proved to be a decided acquisition and is now regarded by many as an excellent addition to our ensilage crops, and when dried is as readily eaten by both cattle and horses as the hay made from any of the common varieties of Millet. It is of very rank growth, from six to seven feet high, with much larger leaves than the Golden or German Millet, and a far heavier cropper. Like all coarse growing plants, it needs abundant plant-food. When given this on good soil the yield is simply immense. Although a free seeder, its great value when green (and when cut early it will often produce on rich land three crops) has inclined growers to use it for soiling purposes rather than to let it ripen seed. The supply of seed therefore, while probably larger than at the beginning of last season, is yet limited. We have learned that there was again last season, as in the previous one, seed of inferior varieties sold for this. We caution all who are not familiar with the appearance of the seed against purchasing that which came from unknown sources. Our seed was all grown in Massachu
