'^^^ Of the three new millets lately intro- duced from Japan by Prof. Brooks of the Mass. Agricultural t->?<\ College we have finally fixed upon fefthe Crus Galli as * being the best, es- pecially for green fodder. The Crus Galli straw chopped, crushed, moistened, and sprinkled with meal is readily eaten by cattle and horses. The seed itself ap- pears to equal in value corn meal for milk production and is excellent for poul- try. For green fod- der, sow it at the rate of 12 tolo quarts per acre.
