CURRIE’S ALFALFA 
(Lucerne) 
MEDICAGO SATIVA. 
STRICTLY CHOICE DOMESTIC. 
Alfalfa is a crop of inestimable value. 
It may be cut 3 to 4 times a season, each 
cutting bringing enormous yields (10 tons 
and more) of sweet nutritious forage much 
relished by all kinds of stock. It is an ex- 
cellent soiling crop and makes the best of 
hay when properly treated, being in itself 
the nearest approach of any farm product 
to a perfect ration. The Seed should be 
sown broadcast at the rate of 15 to 25 
pounds per acre, and seeding may take 
place from about the middle of April, or 
ahh earlier, should the ground be in good con- 
dition, until late in August or September, with or with- 
out a nurse or cover crop. The soil must be deep, rich 
and well-drained, and the seed-bed well prepared. The 
inoculation of the seed with a commercial culture such 
as “Nitragin” (see below). immediately before sowing 
will materially assist in_the production of a crop and 
will increase the yield. The seed should never be sown 
on heavy, sticky clay land where water stands a short 
distance below the surface. As a land enricher Alfalfa. 
is unsurpassed. The long roots, 10 to 15 feet under- 
ground, bring up lots of buried mineral fertilizer, while- 
like all the Clover family, it is a great nitrogen: 
gatherer. No farmer should be without it. 
rigorous climatic conditions of Montana, strains of- 
Alfalfa produced in that state are considered better able to withstand the severe winters and trying conditions of other- 
northern states.

Restores and Maintains Soil Fertility 
Alfalfa, clovers, soybeans, vetches, peas, 
beans, cowpeas, peanuts and other legumes 
should always be inoculated with Nitragin. 
The lack of necessary bacteria in the soil 
is often the cause of a poor legume crop— 
a weak start—or a total failure. 
A GREAT PRICE REDUCTION. 
Nitragin Costs Less. 
Nitragin now comes in Bushel sizes in- 
stead of acre sizes. This means that it 
costs you less per acre than inferior imita- 
tions. If you sow 12 pounds of seed to the 
acre it will only cost you 20 cents for your 
Nitragin. It means that Your Dollar Goes 
Further With Nitragin. 
Nitragin is an old, reliable inoculator. 
At the low price of 20 to 33 cents per acre 
you cannot afford to sow legumes without 
it. Nitragin is put up in the modern venti- 
lated package; ina rich, soil-like packing 
medium. The contents are always fresh, 
living bacteria to feed your plants. Easy 
to use.

SOY BEAN 
Valuable in the north chiefly as a soil improver and wonderful forage crop, 
though the beans which are excellent both as human food and food for stock, will 
usually ripen in our section. Sow when the ground is warm in spring. plant in 
drills 30 inches apart, using 15 to 20 pounds of Seed to the acre for forage. If for 
Seed use 5 pounds more. 
Ito San (Early yellow)—Dwarf growing, early yielding a large quantity of seed. 
Per lb. 15¢ (by mail 22c); 10 lbs. $1.05; 50 Ibs. $4.50; 100 lbs. $8.50.

age. Plants stocky, of medium height. Per lb. 15c (by mail 22c); 10 Ibs. $1.00;. 
50 lbs. $4.25; 100 Ibs. $8.00. 
COW PEAS 
Highly valued as a forage crop, its feeding qualities being very high. As-a 
soil renovator and fertilizer is quite equal to clover. The dry peas ground make @ 
rich feed for cattle. Sow either broadcast or in drills—covering the seed from 
2 to 3 inches—after the ground is warm, as the Peas rot very readily in cold, wet. 
soil. When sown broadcast use from 50 to 90 pounds seed to the acre. If in drills,. 
half the quantity is enough.

SAND OR HAIRY VETCH 
Vicia Villosa, Winter 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. Sow at 
the rate of 80 to 120 pounds per acre for hay. 
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 Hay 
crop. Hogs, sheep and cattle eat it with great relish. 
The U. S, 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 sandy~ 
and thin land. 60 lbs. to the bushel. Per lb. 25c (by mail 32c); 10 Ibs. $1.85; 
2% Ibs. $4.25; 100 Ibs. $16.00.
