This valuable new oats, offered la.st season for the first time, 

 originated in the great oat growing section of AVestern New York, 

 where it was put out in 1893 among twenty of the best farmers for test, 

 just one acre on each farm, this acre to have the same culture as the 

 rest of the field. The three greatest yields were 114, 105 and 104 bushels 

 per acre, respectively, while the average yield for the whole twenty of 

 these acres was seventy-seven bushels, ten pounds per acre, or twenty- 

 seven bushels more thiin other kinds grown under similar culture 

 alongside. The few farmers who have grown the Mammoth Clupter 

 pronounce it "the best black oat introduced in the last decade." The 

 straw is long, very strong and slilf, standing upon any soil. 'Thegrain is 

 a beautiful dark bronze color, growing in clusters upon the head, as shown 

 in our photograph, having a very thin husk, which makes it very desirable 

 for feeding, an<l weighing from thirty-eight to forty-four pounds 

 per bushel. The largest and finest heads of oats we Inive ever seen 

 arethose of the Mammoth Cluster, now on exhibition at our warehouse 

 and attracting great attention from all farmers who call upon us. Large

This new oats was first introduced in 1S9.3 and largely sold in all sections 

 of the country, giving wonderful results. The three largest yields reported, 

 which were grown in competition for the cash prizes ofTei-ed, were 174, 16S 

 and 123 bushels from a single bushel sown. It is tlierefore unquestionably 

 the most productive. It is also very early and has so far proven entirely 

 rustproof. Straw is stiff and strong, standing up. The grain is very hand- 

 some and valuable for feeding on account of its thin hull, heavy meat .nnd 

 soft nib. If yon want to double your crop sow The Lincoln Oats. Pkt.,

Peas ar)cl Oabs pr Fodder. 



Dairymen everywhere are rapidly catcliing on to Peas and Oats and 

 ■with the most profitable results, 'liiey make a fodder and hay which in 

 every case doubles the production of milk. The Canada Field Pea, Avhich 

 we sell at f 1.50 per bushel, is the best for this purpose. They shouW be 

 sown early in April, two bushels of Peas and two b\ishels of Oats to the 

 acre. The peas should be sown first and plo«ed under about four inches 

 deep; the oats then sowed and harrowed in. They will be ready for cut- 

 ting about July 1, when the oats are in milk and the pods formed on the 

 peas.
