ALFALFA 
LUCERNE. 
Prices subject to market changes without notice. 
The great value of Alfalfa to the stockman cannot be 
over-estimated. No other forage crop combines so many ex- 
cellent feeding qualities. The fact that three or four heavy 
crops of it can be cut every season should alone be an in- 
centive to every farmer to put down at least a few acres of 
it. Alfalfa can be grown successfully in every state in the 
Union; the soil, however, should be deep and well drained. 
It will not succeed on heavy, sticky clay ground, or where 
water stands a short distance below the surface. Before 
sowing the seed see that the ground is well prepared by 
being thoroughly pulverized. Any extra work put_on the 
ground at this time will be well repaid in the crop. If sown 
in spring, wait until the ground is warm, sowing from 20 to 
30 lbs. of seed to the acre. 
The crop should be cut for hay just as it is coming into 
bloom. <A safe guide is to watch for the starting of the new 
basil shoots, which form the growth for the next crop, be- 
fore cutting. If the weather is fine the morning’s cuttings 
should be raked into windrows the same afternoon, and 
cocked the following day. 
We recommend using Northern grown seed. The U. S. 
Department of Agriculture in its investigations finds that 
the farther north the seed is grown the hardier it is likely 
to be, and to meet these requirements we have secured a 
stock of strictly pure, recleaned Northern grown seed.

Alfalfa. 
SOY BEANS. 
A valuable forage crop, and an excellent soil renovator. 
We offer only Northern grown varieties, as the larger 
Southern grown sorts do not mature in this section. The 
seed should not be sown until the ground is warm; just after 
corn planting time. Plant in drills 30 inches apart and three 
or four inches apart in the rows, using 8 to 12 quarts to the 
acre for forage, or if for seed use about 2 quarts more. 
EARLY BLACK—Of medium height, plants stocky and 
prolific. 
ITO SAN (Early Yellow)—A dwarf early variety, producing 
a large quantity of seed. 
Price of the above Soy Beans, per quart, 20c; peck, $1.25; 
bushel (60 Ibs.), $4.90. , 
COW PEAS. 
rau Extensively used as a fodder crop in the South. Sow 
after the ground is warm, either broadcast or in drill cover- 
ing the seed from 2 to 3 inches. One to two bushels are 
required to plant an acre broadcast, and about half the quan- 
tity in drills. > 
NEW ERA—An extra early variety. 
MICHIGAN FAVORITE—A favorite in many sections. 
Price of either sort, per quart, 25c; peck, $1.25; bushel, 
SAND OR HAIRY VETCH. 
An exceedingly valuable crop, yielding enormous crops 
on rich soil; from 15 to 20 tons of green fodder to the acre 
not being uncommon, and on sandy, thin land it makes a 
remarkable heavy growth. For planting in young orchards 
and plowing under it possesses great value. 
Sow broadeast, either in spring or fall, using from 30 to 
60 lbs. of seed to the acre, sowing with it about % bushel of 
oats to support the vines. 
Per Ilb., 30c; 10 Ibs., $2.50; 100 Ibs., $20.00. 
FIELD PEAS. 
The Canadian Field Peas are very profitable when grown 
for fodder, besides being a valuable soil enricher. Sown with 
oats, using 11% bushels peas and 1% bushels oats mixed to 
the acre, makes a splendid soiling crop, relished by all kinds 
of stock. If sown alone, use 8 bushels peas broadcast to the 
acre.
