THE "WEBSBH" Fusil BBFcnmmpnH 



A GOLD MINE ON EVERY DAIRY FARM. 



Corn Is undoubtedly the most serviceable crop that has been used for 

 ensilage, but however well preserved in the silo, it is an incomplete food for 

 cattle. Its carbohydrates or heat-producing parte are proportionately in 

 excess of its albuminoids or flesh-forming parts. 



The farmer has in the past, at the expense of his purse, supplied the 

 deficiency by feeding grain grown on the farm, or by buying oil cake, cotton- 

 seed meal or other feed rich in albuminoids. This expense can be avoided by 

 using The "Henderson" Ensilage Combination, which is composed 

 of two parts Fodder, Corn or Japanese Millet to one part Early 

 Soja Beans. An equal acreage of each win produce about the right propor- 

 tion, and the mixture may In- made at time of cutting the fodder and filling 

 the silo. 



Mixed In the above proportions it is a complete, balanced, ration for 

 milch cows without the addition of grain or other ptxrehased. feed. 

 it will mean a saving to the farmers of hundreds of thousands of dollars, 

 and will revolutionize dairying in the Northern States. 



No up-to-date dairy can be profitably opera led without a silo, and no silo 

 should be filled Willi corn alone while the Karly Soja Bean can be grown in 

 any part of the United Stall's. 



The Soja Beans and Japanese Millet are offered on this 

 page j the Fodder Corn on page 75.

BEAN, Henderson's Early Soja. The ordinary Soja Bean

This variety ripens even in Massachusetts, where it gi 



nearly four feet in height, was heavily podded and yleli 



over ten tons per acre. It is a very valuable fodder 



variety either for curing, feeding green or for tin 



It is a rich nitrogenous feed, is unsurpassed .•

DWARF ESSEX RAPE. 



Under favorable conditions Rape is ready 

 Tor pasturing sheep or cattle within six weeks 

 from time of sowing, and on an average one 

 acre will carry twelve to fifteen sheep six weeks 

 to two months. When on the Knpc they should 

 ■at all times have access to salt; but water is not 

 necessary. In the .Northern States it should be 

 sown from May to the end of August for fall 

 pasturing, but as it thrives best in cool weather. 

 should not be sown in the .Southern States until S 

 tember or October for winter pasture. In the lati' 

 of New York. July or August is the best time t< 

 Its fattening properties are probably twice as g' 

 those of Hover, and for sheep the feeding valut 

 excels all other plants we know of. Sow 4 lbs. per 

 cast, 2 to 3 lbs. per acre in drills. (See cat.) 10c. lb., $3.50

ftbe U.S. Department of Agriculture.) 



the Northern States there is no crop of greater 



lethnn Field Peas and none is more neglected, 



ich can only be attributed to a lack of knowl- 



Ige as to its merits. Whether for fodder, in 



nixture with oats, sown at the rate of two 



bushels each per acre, or the Peas sown alone 



at t lie rate of three bushels per acre for plowing 



under, there is no crop that we can so strongly 



recommend for more extended culture. 



Like all leguminous crops. Peas have the 

 power of extracting nitrogen from the air, 

 and the soil from which a crop of Peas has 

 been harvested is richer in nitrogen than 

 before the I'eas were sown upon it, and there 

 is no kind of livestock on the farm to which 

 Peas and Oats in mixture cannot be fed with 

 positive advantage.

(Vicia Villosa.) 



Is perfectly hardy throughout the United States, remaining green all winter, and 

 should be sown during August and September, mixed with Rye, which serves as a 

 support for the plants, or m spring with Oats or Barley. 



It grows to a height of 4 to .", feet and is the earliest crop for cutting, being nearly a 

 in on Hi earlier than Scarlet (lover, and a full crop can be taken off the land in time for 

 planting spring crops. Being much hardier than Scarlet ( lover, this is tin- forage plant 

 to sow iii the Northern States, where Scarlet Clover winter kills, though it is equally 

 valuable in the South. 



It is exceedingly nutritious, much more so than Clover, is eaten with relish and may 

 be fed witli safety to all kinds of stock. 



Sow one bushel per acre with one-half bushel of Rye or Wheat. (Spprut.) 10c. lb.,
