[ prefer the White, but the Red will perhaps, make a little larger yield on rich land. The white variety can be thrashed, cleaned and giound into meal m?l makes good, healthful breiul. It must be In tree in mind that kaftir is a ;lrv weather and dry land plant. It will make a wonderful growth on wet. rirli :iottoni land, but is apt to mold in tlio lead and the seed to blast or the grain not properly ripen and be hard to euro when harvested, but 011 moderately rich upland, where the climate is somewhat dry, either kind will flourish. It s a drought beater, often making a Sue crop of grain and fodder when corn would he an entire failure. It is spletilid feed for cattle, horses, sheep, hogs, ill kinds of poultry except duck:? and jeose, which cannot pick it up well nness mixed with bran or ground and mixed with milk er water. It can bo fed to cattle, grain and fodder all together in'the bead. The heads can lie *ut off and fed to hogs and poultry and fodder given to horses. If yon wish to feed the grain to liorsc, it is best to :!ir:>sh it and have it ground coarse (or trucked m r soak in water until swollen. In Texas it may be planted from March to duly, often making a good lop planted on oats stnbble. The land dtotild he well plowed and finely pnlii/. ! before planting. If yon haven two horse corn planter, take your plate ivliith has the most holes, place it on ome lint, smooth sutface, melt some lead ::n?! till the holes, smooth off the lead so it will work smooth in planter; then take a small handsaw file, if yon liave nothing better, plaee it in a brace, secure plate or have some one hold it while yon drill a hole in tauter of lead. Don't make it too large sit iirst. Try with seed until von see it will drop repaired ai.;.feed, thci put seed in your plant! r and drive, miming planter us shallow as will eovi r the seed.
