GOLDEN MILLET 
MILLET 
BARNY. ARD (Panicum Crus-Galli Major) 
Entirely distinct from any other Millet, grows tall and produces an 
enormous crop. When cured it makes an excellent quality of hay, and 
its feeding value is far superior to Corn fodder. If to be made into hay, 
cure as you-would a heavy crop of_Clover. It may be sown from the 
middie of May to the 1st of July, broadcast, at the rate of 15 lbs. per 
acre, but it is better to sow in drills, 12 to 18 inches apart, using 10 to 
12 lbs. per acre, and hoed between the rows to keep down all weeds 
until the plant attains a height of 12 to 18 inches, when its rapid growth 
will smother all weeds. : 
Price, lb., 35e; 10 Ibs., $2.50; 25 Ibs., $4.50; 50 Ibs., $8.00; 100 
Ibs., $15.00. 
GOLDEN (Northern Grown) 
This variety is considerably larger than Hungarian and yields a 
much heavier crop, but is later and not so quick growing, consequently 
cannot be sown much after the fourth of July in this latitude. To 
maintain its heavy cropping character, seed of this variety needs to be 
specially cultivated.. Sow 50 lbs. per acre. 
Price, lb., 35c; 10 Ibs., $2.50; 25 lbs., $4.50; 50 lbs., $8.00; 100 
Ibs., $15.00. 
HUNGARIAN 
_ Is the quickest of catch crops for hay, and as it may be sown any 
time during the summer months up to the middie of August, it is 
invaluable for overcoming a shortage of the regular hay crop, being 
fairly drought resistant. Sow 50 Ibs. per acre.

_Ibs., $15.00. 
PEARL (Pennisetum Spicatum) 
It grows with tropical luxuriance in strong, loamy soil. Is not so hardy 
as the other varieties, and succeeds best in latitudes south of New 
York. Sow in drills, 5 to 6 Ibs. per acre; if broadcast, 8 Ibs. per acre. 
Price, Ib., 50c; 10 Ibs., $4.50; 25 Ibs., $10.00; 50 Ibs., $17.50; 
100 lbs., $30.00. 
BARLEY—BEARDED 
e sou 21% bushels per acre broadcast and 11% to 2 bushels per acre if 
rilled. - : 
ALPHA. A two-rowed variety heavy cropper, used extensively in 
Eastern States with success. ag 
Price, , $1.75; bushel (48 Ibs.), $5.50. 
WISCONSIN #38. This is a stiff-strawed, heavy yielding, six- 
rowed bearded variety, plump kernels. 
It has nearly double the amount of protein found in many other 
varieties; this makes it a valuable feeding Barley, which is an important 
consideration with the leading farmers who are now appreciating more 
and more the value of Barley as a feed for all kinds of stock, horses 
as well as cattle. 
Price, peck, $1.75; bushel (48 Ibs.), $5.50. 
- TRUE DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
Provides Perfect Pasture and is greatly Relished by all Stock 
There are several varieties of Rape, but care should be taken to 
procure the Dwarf Essex, or English, as it is sometimes called. In 
- Northern states it should be sown from April to end of August for fall 
pasturing, but as it thrives best in cool weather, it should not be sown 
in the Southern states until September or October for winter pasture. 
In the latitude of New York it sHould be sown in drills or broadcasted 
in April, or in July or August. Its fattening properties are probably 
twice as good as those of Clover, and for sheep the feeding value of 
Rape excels ail other plants we know of. Sow 4 lbs. per acre broad- 
cast, or 2 to 3 Ibs. in drills.

THE VALUE OF GREEN MANURE CROPS 
They make your soil more fertile and check soil erosion 
The two most important factors of a fertile soil are: An abundance of organic 
matter or humus, and an abundance of plant food. The latter may be i 
supplied from the fertilizer bag, but the former is a much more troublesome 
problem. Dairy farms, on which liberal supplies of manure are produced, and 
on which sods and crop residues are turned under, should have little difficulty in 
keeping up the organic matter supply of the soil; with the judicious use of ferti- 
lizer and lime it would be a comparatively easy matter to maintain crop yields. 
With other types of farms, however, particularly vegetable and fruit farms, the 
problem of keeping the soil adequately supplied with organic matter is one which 
requires considerably more attention. The most economical and one of the most 
satisfactory means of maintaining soil fertility, is the use of a green manuring 
mixture of seed. 
GREEN MANURE, SEED MIXTURE 
A combination of various rapid-growing legumes which will add humus and 
nitrogen to the soil. Plant early in the fall for turning under in the spring. 
Mixture may be broadcast, or sow at the rate of 1 lb. per 1,000 square feet.

VETCH, SAND or WINTER (Vicia Sativa) 
The Best Legume for Sandy Soils 
It is the earliest crop for cutting, and a full crop can be taken off the land in time 
for planting spring crops. Being much hardier than Scarlet Clover, this is the 
forage plant to sow in the Northern States, where Scarlet Clover winter kills, 
though it is equally valuable in the South. Every dairyman and stock breeder 
in the United States should have a field of Winter Vetch. 
Although Sand Vetch succeeds, and even produces good crops on poor, sandy 
soils, it is, naturally, more vigorous on better Jand. Under such conditions the 
plant produces numerous branches 3 to 6 feet long. Both leaves and branches are 
covered with fine hairs, hence it is sometimes called ‘‘Hairy Vetch.’’ Sand Vetch 
is hardy all over the United States, and in most places remains green all winter. 
The crop may be seeded, either from the middle of August to the middle of 
September, or in the spring from the middle of April to the middle of May.

MARQUIS—Spring Wheat 
Most Productive. Highest in Quality. 
This famous variety is of Canadian origin. It retains the frost-resisting quali- 
ties of its predecessors and matures—as several farmers put it—in time to avoid 
As to productiveness many growers report 52 and more 
bushels per acre. Milling tests show that this Wheat contains a greater quanti- 
ty of gluten, is a better color, shows greater absorption, and is heavier in weight 
per bushel than any other Spring Wheat. Our stock was raised in the far north, 
and is early, hardy and productive. Sow 14% bushels per acre.
