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 excellent 
feeding qualities. The fact that three or four heavy crops of it 
can be cut every season should alone be an incentive 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 of the next crop, before cutting. If the 
weather is fine the morning’s cuttings should be raked into wind- 
rows the same afternoon, and cocked the following day. 
We recommend using Northern-grown seed. The U. S. Depart- 
ment of Agriculture in its investigation 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.

SOY BEANS 
A valuable forage crop, and an excellent soil renovator. The 
seed should not be sown until the ground is warm; just after corn 
planting time. Plant in drills 30 inches apart and 3 or 4 inches 
apart in the rows, using 8 to 12 quarts to the acre for forage, 
or if for seed use about 2 quarts more.

SAND OR HAIRY VETCH 
An exceedingly valuable crop, yielding enormously on almost 
any ground. It is biennial, similar in growth to field peas, only 
that the vines are much finer, longer and more thickly covered 
with leaves and side stems, vines 10 feet long. Sow broadcast, 
either in spring or fall, using from 30 to 60 lbs. of seed to the acre, 
sowing with it about 1% bushel of oats to support the vines. Per
