Mlllo Maize.
This is one of the sorghum family,
known as “South American Corn.”
The plant is valuable as grain or for
age. Its capacity to withstand drouth
would alone entitle it to the careful atten
tion of our farmers. But its extraordi
nary yield of both seed and fodder es
tablishes its importance and should make
it a home staple crop.
It requires nearly six months to ma
ture its seed, and hence it should be
planted as early as possible, say in the
latitude of Atlanta, not later than 15th
of March.
Care should be taken in planting. The
seed should be covered with not less
than two inches of earth, which must
be slightly packed. Bear in mind the
following fact: All small seed, of this
class, require that the soil shall retain
its moisture above and surrounding the
seed for at least forty-eight hours, other
wise decay is likely to occur and then
the seed fails to germinate. This, with
too superficial or careless planting is
doubtless the reason why some have
laWedin the past to secure a stand.
One pint of Millo seed numbers fifteen
to sixteen thousand. Experience ap
proves planting on a check of four by
three feet. Two to four plants only
should be left in a hill. Use, therefore,
seven to eight seed to a hill in planting,
and as the check of three by four equals
3,030 in one acre, one quart of seed will
suffice to plant an acre.
The young plants will bear trans
planting.
Millo, when not cut, tillers from four
to nine.
When grown for seed it should yield
from fifty to eighty bushels, with more
than twice the yield of cured blades of
fodder than corn. When grown for
forage alone (without cutting) it has
yielded four thousand to four thousand
e ight hundred bundles of fodder to an
acre, and the stalks after being stripped
have been fed to stock in the field, who
are eager for it even after it has been
frosted. Its largest yield as forage, is
to be had by cutting, first when about
young man formerly residing at Bir
mingham, a suburb of Detroit, and now
living at 287 Michigan Avenue in this
city, can truthfully say that he has look
ed into the future world and yet returned
to this. A representative of this paper
has interviewed him upon this import
ant subject and his experiences are given
to the public for the first time. He said:
“Iliad been having most peculiar sen
sations for a long while. My head felt
dull and heavy; my eyesight did not
seem so clear as formerly; my appetite
was uncertain and I was unaccountably
tired. It was an effort to arise in the
morning and yet I could not sleep at
nigh.. My mouth tasted badly, I had a
faint all-gone sensation in the pit of my
stomach that food did not satisfy, while
my hands and feet felt cold and clammy.
I was nervous and irritable, lost all enthu
siasm. At times my head would seem to
whirl and my heart palpitate terribly.
I had no energy, no ambition, and I
seemed indifferent of the present and
thoughtless for the future. I tried to
shake the feeling off and persuade my
self it was simply a cold or a little mala
ria. But it would not go. I was deter
mined not to give up, and so time passed
along and all the while I was getting
worse. It was about this time that I no
ticed I had begun to bloat fearfully. My
limbs were swollen so that by pressing
more people, to-day, than any other one
complaint. If I had the power I would
warn the entire world against it and
urge them to remove it from the system
before it is too late.”
One of the members of the firm of
Whitehead <k Mitchell, proprietors of
the Birmingham Eccentric, paid a frater
nal visit to this office yesterday, and in
the course of conversation, Mr. Crom-
bie’s name was mentioned.
I knew about his sickness,” said
the editor, “ and his remarkable recov
ery. I had his obituary all in type
and announced in the Eccentric that lie
could not live until its next issue. It
was certainly a most wonderful case.”
Rev. A. R. Bartlett, formerly pastor
of the M. E. Church, at Birmingham,
and now of Schoolcraft, Mich., in re
sponse to a telegram, replied:
“ Mr. W. A. Crombie, was a member
of my congregation at the time of his
sickness. The prayers of the church
were requested for him on two different
occasions. I was with him the day he
was reported by his physicians as dying,
and consider his recovery almost a mir
acle.
Not one person in a million ever comes
so near death as did Mr. Crombie and'
then recover, but the men and women
who are drifting toward the same end,
are legion. To note the slightest symp-
