 when threshed, and is fed in that condition to stock. It is adapted 

 for inilling purposes, as well as for feeding, making a grade some- 

 what similar to rye. The straw resembles wheat straw. It grows 

 large crops — 40 to 80 bushels per acre — on comparatively poor soil, ' 

 and it is said to give full double the crop of barley. It resists drought 

 successfully, and is adapted to Northern latitudes. Sow in the spring 

 or in the fall at the rate of 80 poundsper acre. Pkt. 10c; lb. 30c; 

 2 lbs. 55c; 5 lbs. $1.25; 10 lbs. $2.25, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs

 cellent variety for growing on light, thin soils, while on rich, fertile 

 soils its yields are wonderful. It is a great drought resister and 

 especially adapted to Northern latitudes. For yield, malting, milling 

 and feeding it has no superior. Ninety-six pounds of seed sown to 

 an acre. Pkt. 10c; lb. 30c; 2 lbs. 55c; 5 lbs. $1.25; 10 lbs. .$2.25, post-
