Oats and Peas.--Let the farmer also put in a patch of oats and peas. Sow a bushel and a half of peas per acre, covering three or four inches deep on light soil, and one or two inches on heavy soil. After these are planted sow or drill the oats in the usual manner. Cut the green forage for the cattle, or cure for hay.

Millet. For winter hay sow millet or Hungarian grass from the 10th to the 30th of June, using from a bushel to a bushel and a half of seed per acre. When the seed-heads are coming into blossom, cut and cure for hay. Millet or Hungarian grass will yield from one ton to two and a half tons of good quality hay per acre. Horses should not be given over one feed of millet hay per day.

Corn Fodder.-Any variety of corn will do for green or dry forage, the early kinds being the most suitable for early fall feed. Sweet corn is very satisfactory because the stalks are soft and palatable. Plant in hills or drills just thick enough to decrease the size of the ears to about half their normal size. Begin feeding as soon as the ears are glazing, and continue with the dry forage throughout the winter. From three to six tons per acre of winter forage, suitable for all kinds of farm stock, can be secured from a corn crop grown on good land. (Henry.)
