He urges them to sow millet in view of the scarcity of horse feed. He was in lexas long enough to observe the process of millet cultivation, and as a substitute for hay, he claims there is nothing better. Cut when the seed is in milk, and the straw should be turned once or twice in the swath to insure perfect curing. This done tie into bundles as you would wheat or oats and place in shock. Follow these instructions and if the season is half way favorable you will secure a crop that will make the failure of the hay crop seem a very light affliction compared with the serious outlook at this writing. Sow the ‘Little German,” as the stock is finer and the blades much more numerous than on the "Big German.”
