Cutting and 



Stacking Alfalfa 



in Wisconsin. 



CURRIE'S ALFALFA 

 (Lucerne) 



MEDICAGO SATIVA. 



STKICTLY CHOICE DOMESTIC. 



Alfalfa is a crop of inestimable value. It 

 may be cut 3 to 4 times a season, each cutting 

 bringing enormous yields (lu tons and more; 

 of sweet nutritious torage much relished by ail 

 kinds of stock. It is an excellent soiling crop 

 and makes the best of hay when properly 

 treated, being in itself the nearest approach ot 

 any farm product to a perfect ration. The 

 Seed should be sown broadcast at the rate oi' 

 20 to 30 pounds per acre, and seeding may 

 take place from about the middle of April, or 

 earlier, should the ground be in good condi- 

 tion, until late in August or September, with- 

 out a nurse or cover crop. The soil must be deep, rich and 

 well-drained, and the seed-bed well prepared. The inocu- 

 lation of the seed with a commercial culture such as "Nitra- 

 gin" (see below), immediately before sowing, will material! v 

 assist in the production of a crop. 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. 

 Genuine Montana Grown Seed — Recleaued. Because of the particularly rigorous climatic conditions of Montana, strains of Alfalfa produced 

 in that state are considered better able to w-ithstand the severe winters and trying conditions of other northern states. Seed of 

 this strain scarce this year. Write for prices. 

 Northern Grown Seed — Finest Quality, Recleaued. Suited to conditions of practically all northern sections. Per lb. 28e (by mail 38c) ; 



10 lbs. $2.45; per bushel (60 lbs.) $13.15; per 100 lbs. $21.50.

SAND LUCERNE— MEDICAGO media. 



This is one of the most valuable Clovers, especially so in sandy sections, but, unfortunately, not sufficiently appreciated in this 

 country. The directors of the Michigan Experiment Station report 5 tons of cured hay of Sand Lucerne to the acre on a sandy knoll, 

 and say it is one of the best hay crops in use on the Experiment Station farm. It is specially adapted to sandy land. Seed scarce 

 on account of the war. Per lb. 35c (by mail 45c); 5 lbs. $1.65; 10 lbs. $3.00. 



For Success with 



CLOVER, ALFALFA 



and all other Legumes 



INOCULATE YOUR 



SEED with 



THE IMPROVED GERMAN SOIL INOCULATOR 



BOKHARA OR SWEET CLOVER— melilotus auja. 



For many years this clover was considered valuable only for the excellent honey which 

 it yielded, its importance as a soil builder and inoculator for Alfalfa, as a green forage 

 and hay crop and as a pasture plant, and its adaptibility to generally unfavorable soils 

 and conditions not being recognized. Now, however, large acreages in some sections are 

 devoted to this crop, and its true value is better known. Stock do not take to it readily at 

 first, but soon learn to like it and thereafter eat it greedily. Sow 10 to 25 lbs. per acre.

The simplest safest and surest system 

 OF SOIL inoculation for all legumes 



AWARDED GOLD MEDAL, ST. LOUIS ,I904 



The lack of necessary bacteria in the soil 

 Is often the cause of failure to secure a "catch" 

 of alfalfa, clover and other legumes. "Nltra- 

 gin" is Insurance. It will enable you to se- 

 cure a "catch" — means bigger yields — richer 

 feeding values and better soil. "Nitragin" is 

 the Original Pure Culture — a granular medium 

 — packed in a ventilated can. It is harmless 

 and easy to use. Prepared for all legume 

 crops. 



When ordering state for what crop wanted.
