Vicia Villosa. SAND OR HAIRY VETCH. Sandwicken. 



One of the most valuable fodder plants for the West and Northwestern States, owing to Its 

 ability to withstand severe drought, heat and cold. The vines are slender and thickly clad with 

 leaves and side stems, which furnish nice, succulent feed. Individual plants will make a 10- 

 foot growth before going to seed. 



As a Pasture Plant for Late Fall and Early Spring Sand Vetch is without an equal. From 

 sowings made in August an excellent late Fall pasturage for sheep or hogs can be had In 50 

 days, the plants being by that time two feet in height. After close eating it can be left to 

 prevent soil washing during Winter and Spring. It is one of the first plants to start Into 

 growth in spring and will be again ready to pasture by May, or it can be allowed to mature for 

 green cutting or for a Hay crop. Hogs, sheep and cattle eat it 'with great relish. 



The Washington Department of Agriculture estimates the value of a plowed-under crop as 

 equivalent to $16 to $45 worth of commercial fertilizers per acre. Sow in either fall or spring, 

 at the rate of 60 lbs. per acre, broadcast, with the addition of one-half bushel Rye or Oats 

 to furnish support for the vines. On rich soil it yields enormous crops of green fodder, from 10 

 to 15 tons to the acre; equal to 3 to 4 tons when cured as dried Hay. It is also a remarkable 

 grower on sandv and thin land. 60 lbs. to the bushel. Per lb. 25c; by mail 35c; 10 lbs. $2.00: 

 25 lbs. $4.75; 100 lbs. $18.50. 



RAPE— TRUE DWARF! ESSEX. 



Beware of the kind of Rape Seed You Sow — There Is only one sort of any value in this country for sheep feed, and 

 that is the True Dwarf Essex. Look with suspicion upon all others. The easiest cultivated and most profitable plant for 

 sheep, hog or cattle feed known. It can be sown in early spring along with Oats or Rye, and eaten off by sheep within 

 a week or so after harvest. It can also be sown on Oat, Rye, or Wheat stubble, or on any vacant land up to the first days 

 of August, and will yield an immense crop of green fodder in six to eight weeks from the time of sowing. As a fattener 

 for sheep and hogs it is superior to clover. Should be sown In drills at the rate of 3 lbs. per acre, or broadcast, using 4 to 

 6 lbs. per acre, all through the summer months, so as to furnish a successive crop of sheep feed. One acre of Rape will 

 pasture 36 sheep for two months.
