MANGEL-WURZEL AND SUGAR BEET. 
ROOT CROPS FOR FARM STOCK. 
Mangels and Sugar Beets make excellent winter feed for 
cattle, producing on good soil from 1,200 to 1,500 bushels per 
acre. Sow in June at the rate of 5 lbs. per acre, in drills 
2 feet apart, and thin out to 9 inches in the rows. Store in 
barns before freezing weather sets in for use during the 
winter. 
1 oz. to 100 feet of drill. 
Currie’s Improved Mammoth Long Red—An _ exceptionally 
large-growing variety, of finest quality grown from a 
selection of the most perfect specimens. The roots grow

atory tests show a very high feeding value, excelling that 
of other sorts. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % 1b. 20c; 1 1b. 65c; 5 Ibs.

ARTICHOKE— imerovep WHITE FRENCH. 
Produce 1,500 Bushels Per Acre. Easily Grown. Great 
Disease Preventers. The Hogs Do the ‘Harvesting. They 
can be planted either in fall or spring, for while in the ground, 
freezing and thawing does not hurt them. Cut to one eye like 
potatoes, and plant in rows 3% feet apart and 18 inches in 
the row. When dug in the fall and stored, they should be 
mixed with one part of soil to ten parts of Artichokes, to 
prevent shrinking. Per peck 70c; per bushel $2.40; 3 bushels 
(sufficient for one acre), $6.25. 
BUCKWHEAT. 
Silver Hull—This variety sown at the same time as the com- 
mon Buckwheat, matures a few days sooner, and yields 
nearly double. The flour is whiter and more nutritious. 
It is a favorite milling variety and frequently outyields 
the heavy yielding Japanese. 
Japanese—An early and very prolific variety, with kernels 
about double the size of ordinary sorts. It ripens a week 
earlier than the Silver Hull, remains in bloom a long time 
and yields at least twice as much as common Buckwheat. 
FLAX. 
When grown for seed, sow from 2 to 3 pecks to the acre. 
If fine fibre is wanted sow from 1% to 2 bushels to the acre, 
so as to grow clean, straight, slender straw. 
Primost (Minn. No. 25)—An improved variety, 
earlier than Common Flax; yields about 25% 
and is more wilt-resistant. 
SUNFLOWER. 
Large Russian—Single heads measure 15 
contain an immense amount of seeds 
prized by poultry raisers. 
BARLEY 
NEW WISCONSIN PEDIGREE BARLEY. 
This new Barley, disseminated first a few years ago, has 
demonstrated its marked superiority over all the commonly 
sown varieties. Like Oderbrucker, it is derived from the 
Manshury, received originally in 1899 from the Ontario Sta- 
tion at Guelph, and went through a breeding process requir- 
and excellent

ing ten years of careful selection. It has the special merit 
of stiff straw so that it does not lodge easily, produces a very 
high yield, malts perfectly and has the advantage of being 
absolutely pure. The fact that practically all the members 
of the Wisconsin Experiment Station Association now grow 
Pedigree Barley is a strong indication of the high value placed 
upon this variety by the progressive farmers of the state. 
ODERBRUCKER BARLEY—WISCONSIN No. 55. 
The Wisconsin Standard Barley Introduced by the Wiscon- 
sin Agricultural Experiment Station in 1906, at the Time the 
Heaviest Yielding and Plumpest 6-Rowed Barley Ever Intro- 
duced into the United States. Oderbrucker, originally secured 
from the Ontario Experiment Station, was one of the first of 
the new strains developed at the Wisconsin Experiment Sta- 
tion, and so pronounced are its superior qualities, that it is 
now one of the standard Barleys in this and neighboring 
states. It yields from 5 to 10 bushels more per acre than any 
of the old varieties, is unusually good for malting purposes, 
and on account of its high protein content, nearly double that 
of other varieties, it is an exceedingly fine feeding Barley. 
It is rust resistant, has a plump, very heavy kernel, and the 
stiffness of its straw is unusual. 
WHITE HULLESS BARLEY. 
It has No Beards or Hulls. It is Early and Gives Enormous 
Yields. Nothing to Equal it as a Hog Food. This remarkable 
Barley is more like a very plump, hard wheat, remarkably 
solid, weighing over 60 lbs. to the bushel. It is extremely 
early, and on this account is invaluable in the northern tier 
of states, where corn does not ripen well. It is an enormous 
cropper, yielding from 50 to 60 bushels per acre of grain, pos- 
sessing feeding qualities superior to other Barley. The straw 
stools well and is heavily leaved and makes an excellent hay. 
Sow 2 bushels per acre. 48 lbs. per bushel. 
CHAMPION OR SUCCESS BEARDLESS BARLEY. 
A remarkable heavy cropping Barley. Equal in feeding 
quality to any of the bearded sorts. It is earlier than the 
bearded sorts, better for feeding and easier to handle. 
OATS 
SUPERIOR RE-CLEANED STOCK. 
WISCONSIN PEDIGREED OATS, 
A new vartety developed at the Wisconsin Experiment Sta- 
tion from a variety called Wisconsin Wonder and offered 
generally in 1913 for the first time. It is a pure white variety, 
rather earlier than Swedish Select, and better adapted to rich 
soils, its especially stiff straw making it much less liable to 
lodge. It is a tremendous cropper, outyielding any sorts now 
grown here, and the grain is of good size, thin-hulled, heavy 
and finé appearing, in shape a little longer and more pointed 
than Swedish Select. Sow at the rate of 2% to 3% bushels 
per acre. 
SWEDISH SELECT OATS. (Wis. No. 4.) 
Introduced by the U. S. Department of Agriculture a few 
years ago and further developed under the direction of Prof. 
Moore of the Wisconsin Experiment Station. Its good points 
are earliness, yield, fine appearance of grain, stiffness of 
straw and freedom from rust and smut. It appears to be best 
adapted to high land, the best returns being obtained on clay 
loam. Yields as high as 85 bushels per acre have been secured 
in this state. 
LINCOLN OATS. 
An early, unusually heavy yielding, clear white Oats, com- 
paring well with the best sorts grown in the northwest and 
lately become very popular. Its thin hull and solid meat 
makes it particularly valuable for feeding and for the manu- 
facture of oatmeal. It does not lodge easily, as the straw is 
strong and stiff; it is rust resistant and stools out remarkably, 
whence the heavy yields. 
WHEAT 
MARQUIS WHEAT. 
The Wheat destined to “revolutionize wheat growing in 
the Northwest.” Originated at the Central Experiment Sta- 
tion, Ottawa, Canada, by crossing Red Fife and Red Calcutta, 
a very early Wheat from India, the result being a Wheat 
combining the extreme earliness of the one with the frost 
resisting and heavy yielding qualities of the other. It is a 
week to 10 days earlier than Red Fife or any other sort, and 
yields 5 to 10 bushels more per acre, the grain being flinty, 
short, wide plump and deep amber in color. The heads are 
very heavy, and the stalk stout and shorter than Red Fife. 
Beardless, except for a few short awns at the top. 
WISCONSIN WONDER. 
A new Spring Wheat produced in Wisconsin and said to be 
the earliest wheat known in America. It is a short, stiff- 
strawed, bearded variety, ready in 80 to 90 days, or earlier, 
never lodges, stools out little and is unexcelled as a nurse 
crop for clovers and alfalfa. Yields heavily a hard, red wheat 
easily grading No. 1 Northern. Because of its extreme earli- 
ness it is not subject to rust or other diseases. 
DURUM OR MACARONI (Variety Kubanka),. 
The Most Valuable Wheat for Dry and Semi-Arid Sections, 
Yielding Heavy Crops Where Other Sorts Fail. 
_ Durum Wheat is particularly adapted to dry and semi-arid 
districts, being extremely resistant of drought, the attack of 
fungus pests, rust and smut, always furnishing an excellent 
hard grain. 
Enormous yields of Durum Wheat are reported from Kan- 
sas, Dakota, Nebraska and the extreme Western States, in
