of its cultivation, etc.
v From the Atlanta Constitution. '
The oriainal millo'maize seed were im
ported from South America by the Iter.
II. 15. lJratt. in 1877. and was cultivated
for several vears bv bis son.- Mr B.. G.
Pratt, at or near Winnsboro, S. C.
., It has long been the staple graio, an
swering the several uses ot our Indian
corn, for the population of a large, area of
; South America.
. Its stalk and foliage, habits and mode
of growing, resemble sorghum. It grows
to a heisht of 8 and even 14 feet, and is
clothed with verdure from bottom to .tup.
The seed heads staoderect, measuring 6
to 10 inches in length, being very com
pact and close, the seed crowding tightly
together, weighing three to five ounces,
and numbering 3,000 to 5,000 seed to each
head and 14,000 to 17,000. seed to a pound.
Millo .seed weigh, uniformly, sixty pounds
to a bushel. -
-, The foliage of the plant is longer, heavier,
and more abundant than that of Indian
corn and is quite as easily cured. It is
eaten with evident relish by stock, quite
as much as that of corn fodder. ' ' v
Withstanding Drouth. -The very
marked characteristic of millo in holding
Its own, continuing its vigorous growth,
right through our severest drouths, seems
to entitle it to our very first consideration.
. Too much cannot be said in its praise
and commendation, both as to forage'aod
seed, for a home staple crop, for, in sup
port of its certainty to yield a crop, drouth
or no drouth, I may repeat the foregoing
in another form : In no season will millo
maize fail to yield nearly twice as much
seed in weight, and many times as much
forage as corn.
Acclimatization. -The first objection
raised to millo was the long season near-
1 . 1 : i i j
ty eigufc U1OU105 requireu 10 mate auu
mature its seed ; another was the difficulty
most every one had in securing a stand,
bat this belongs more properly under the
The wonderful yield of leaf forage in
-' 1881 fixed my attention upon the plant,
. and, from observation and experience I
felt convinced that the plant would ac
commodate its habits to our climate, and
'with eareful selection of need and cultiva
tion, its long season for maturing seed
migni oe snorienen.
Jjast. season I planted one patch of
- about miRrtftr nf , ati acta . nnil nhtainrwl
therefrom 268 pounds of pulled fodder
and 17 bushels equaling 70 bushels to
an acre it cieanea prime seed, ana it ma
tured in about five and a half months. 'I
also planted another patch with the pr
maturely ripened seed planted it, after
cutting oats, in June, matured its seed in
about four and a half months. This seed
attained nearly three times the size of the
original, soed.
, In planting, use swioe or three times the
number of seed that you require of stand
ing plants, viz: -
. For a Seed Crop Drop six to eight seed
to & hill, the hflls being three feet apart
in the row, and the rows four feet apart,
making the check four by three. Pull to
. a stand of four plants to each hill ; never
leave more.
For Forage Catting Drop three to
four seed to a hill, and the hills one foot
, apart in the row, the rows being two and
one-half to three feet apart. You may
leave a stand or two ; I prefer one.
' The plants should be four to six inches
high when pulled to a stand.
It is necessary, when going over the
field for the first time, with hoe, to be
careful in getting ont all grass and weeds.
The plant does not start vigorously, but
after weeding and pulling to a stand it
will grow off rapidly.
: , Plow as you would corn. Usually three
plowings will suffice for the seed crop,
f Another advantage I may point to for
this plant. While with corn and cotton
oleau culture keeps the soil 'exposed to
the sun's heat, millo, with its dense for
age, shades the ground. I think an ex
amination of this fact will give encourage
.ment. , Planting I suggest at least three, one
at early corn planting, and two others,
each a month later than the former. This
plan with millo will insure green forage in
event of a summer drouth, and fresh vigor
ous stalks at about early frost for winter
feed to stock.
'- Forage. When you plant forage only,
that is, for several cuttings during a sea
son, the plants will tiller from two to. five,
and should be cut before jointing,-say
three to four feet high. Its height will
.- depend mainly upon the richness of the
soil. After Xhe first cutting it will grow
off rapidly and tiller freely, making a
dense forage. I would let it average four
to five feet high before cutting a second
time, and say six feet for third, lastly,just
before frost, v The rulo, however, is to cut
before jointing, for if you permit that, and
then cut, that will stop a further supply
of forage from the stalk so cut.. I have,
however, seen instances where it would
after scoU treatment shoot from the root. "
The foregoing applies to green forage
secured during the season. , It cures well,
and may be stored for winter use.
. No more pulling of corn-fodder I
No more cutting and curing grass I .
' No more baled hay from anywhere!
' Farm Life.
It is a common complaint that the farm
life is not appreciated by our people. ': We
ways and fashions of the town. But the
- farmer has the most safe and natural occn-
fationf and ought to find life sweeter, if
ess highly seasoned,' than any other. lie
alone, strictly speaking, has a home.
How can a man take root and thrive with-
Anf Itn) 9 TT ariiitaa l- i n!sli nn.tr t.!
- fields.. How many ties, how many re
sources he has; his friendship with his cat
. tl, hit team, his dog, his trees; the satis-
motion lu an -growing crops, in nis im
proved fields; his intimaoy with nature,
'with birds and beasts, and with the quick
ening elemental forces; his co-operation
with the clouds, the tun, the seasons, heat;
wind, rain and frost. Nothing, will take
the various social distempers, which the
city and artificial life breed, out of a man
like farming, like direct and loving con
tact with the soil. It craws out the poi
. ton ; it humbles bim ; teaches him pa-
tisnce and reverence, and restores the
proper lone to his system. Cling to "the
farm; make a good deal of it; bestow
jour, heart and your brain upon it, so that
it shall savor of you and radiate your vir
tues after your day's work is done. Cen

, - The Pig Pen..
' The hog is not a dirty animal when de
cently treated. It is exposure,' slovenly
surroundings, improper food and dirty
drink that make herds of swine sicken and
die oft This is becoming understood at
last. . - . , ' : .
Thtfmodel pen is built in two" parts.
One end is left ef bare earth for the ani
mals to root in as they like. At the other
is a raised floor, elevated eight to ten
inches from the ground. 'Here the hogs
have a dry, covered place to sleep in.
The floor is made of strips . nailed on a
quarter of an inch apart, so that the mois
ture may run through. Upon " this is
placed straw. Kooting into straw stacks
and heaping together under them in' piles
upon one another overheats bogs. Then,
the next. thing, they will be exposed, un
protected, to the northerly blizzard, steam
ing hot as they are. When they take
cold and die it is a visitation of Provi
dence. ' - ;
The hog must also have his drink of
clean, pure water. . He is given every
abomination in his swill, from the soap
sud's of the week's wash to the contents
of soured tomato-cans. . Foul water is as
hurtful to hogs as to horses or cows, and
the sooner farmers learn this fact the bet
ter. The hog drinks ; impure . water be
cause he is good-natured, and doesn't re
fuse anything; but it is this very thing
which introduces the true hog-cholera
germ into him. Then when this disease
attaoks him, and the herd dies by the hun
dred, .once more it is a visitation of Provi
dence:' . '.
A cow ought to be dry at least
Bix weeks, before calving. It is well
known that if she is milked up to the
time of calving, she will be very deficient
as a milker, even though she . had former
ly been a good one. It prevents im
provement of condition, and from a very
lean cow there is not much to be ex
pected. IW Keep your fowls tame if you want
them to be profitable- Fowls that are
often frightened hy the owner or allowed
to. be chased by dogs are as a general
thing not very profitable.
Plow when the land is dry or suf
ficiently moist to cause it the more readily
to crumble; and never plow when so "wet
that it settles down to a level approaching
a bog, whiob is killing.
Thrown your ashes in the hen
house under the. root, and every one or
two weeks take them np and save for fer
tilizer. You'll find you have a valuable
fertilizer at no cost. '- " .
53 A Minnesota farmer states that
he can "keep one stove going" daring six
months with the sunflower stalks produced
on an acre of land. The seed produced
and fed to fowls pays for all the work of
cultivation. He burns the-smaller beads
with the stalks, which are cut in the fall
to the required length.

- Tanbark for Manure. V; :
: Spent tan bark, as received from the
tanneries, is valuable as a fertilizer, and it
would pay for the trouble of drawing it
some distance. " The tanning or tannic
acid which the tanner extracts is of no
value as a fertilizer in reality, because this
is obtained from the atmosphere; it takes
nothing which comes from the soil, and is
of value when returned to the soil.. Leaves
contain more potash and phosphates than
thfl limba or timber of the tree. Bark
contains nearly as large a" quantity of
i .i.i : u . r-
ineee minerals as ioo ieaes, weiguv wi
weight. Yon will find a much larger bulk
of ashes after burning wood. If bark froni
the tannery is placed in a hill and mixed
with quick-lime, decomposition willbe ac
celerated and a pile, of fertilizing matter
obtained, which would be equal in value
to many of the cheap commercial fertilizers-sold.-
Your piles made up this fall
and turned over a few times in the spring
of the year would no doubt make a good
fertilizer. ' . ' -' -

' So appeared Mother Eve, and so may shine her
fair descendants, with the exercise of common
sense, care and proper treatment An enormous
number of female complaints are directly caused
by disturbance or suppression of the Menstrual
Function. In every such case that sterling and
unfailing specific, Bradfield's Fkhalx Regu
iiATOB, will effect relief and cure. .
It is from the recipe: of a' most distinguished
physician. It is composed of strictly officinal
ingredients, whose nappy combination has never
been surpassed. . It is prepared with scientific
skill from the finest materials. It bears the palm
for constancy of strength, . certainty of' effect,
elegance of preparation, beauty of appearance
and relative cheapness. ' The testimony in its
favor is genuine. It never fails when fairly
tried,- . -
, Cartersville, Ga.
This will certify that two members of my im
mediate family, after having suffered for many
years from menstrual irregularity, and having
been treated without benefit by various medical
doctors, were at length completely cured . by one
bottle of Dr. J. Bradfield's Female Regulator.
Its effect in such cases is truly wonderful, and
well may the mnetiy .be called "Woman! Best
