Sweet Clover Seed 



QUICK GERMINATION 



Get our "Scarified." sweet clover seed which will germinate from 85 to 05 percent the 

 first year and thus insure you a good stand right from the start. By sowing our seed you 

 will save money, as it only takes about half as much scarified to sow an acre as oidinary 

 hulled seed. PRICES 



When seed is wanted by parcel post, be sure to include postage. Bags will be inclu- 

 ded in the weight in parcel post shipments. 



PLEASE NOTE— All of our seed is thoroughly cleaned. The scarifying process us- 

 ually breaks some of the seeds and we remove all broken seeds. This is an important 

 saving to you. Samples on application. 



YELLOW SWEET CLOVER— Many people fail to recognize the value of the biennial 

 yellow sweet clover as a honey plant. The fact that it blooms two weeks earlier than the 

 white variety makes it especially valuable to the beekeeper. 



Be sure, however, to get the biennial variety as Quoted above.

 Everyone Who Writes 



A. L. Rice, a prominent manufacturer of 

 Adams. N. Y.. has discovered a process of 

 making a new kind of paint without the use 

 of oil. He calls it Powdrpaint. It comes in 

 the form of a dry powder and all that is re- 

 quired is cold water tomake a paint weather 

 proof, fire proof, sanitary and durable for 

 outside or inside painting. It is the cement 

 principle applied to paint. It adheres to 

 any surface, wood, stone or brick, spreads 

 and looks like oil paint and costs about one- 

 fourth as much.

Bugs or Birds— Which? 



Bug's could damage this country 

 more in 10 days than a foreign 

 war could in 10 years! What pre- 

 vents them? The birds. 



Birds are your friends, your crop protectors. 

 Let's .ill be good to them. No other institution 

 has done as much as The Farm Journal to instil 

 love and guardianship into the hearts of Amer- 

 ica's boys and girls. Today the Liberty Bell 

 Bird Club — organized and promoted by The 

 F.arra Journal— has eight hundred thousand loyal 

 members. But The Farm Journal is aluays do- 

 ing things for the farmers and their families. 

 Always trying to make life brighter, happier. It 

 goes into nearly one million homes every month.
