TWO PROFITABLE OATS. 
MORTGAGE LIFTER OATS, Just What its Name Implies. 
I take pride and satisfaction in the conspicuous and universal success of this highly prof- 
itable oats, on account of the predictions which I made for it when it was introduced to the 
public. No better name than Mortgage Lifter could have been selected for it, as it is a first- 
class cropper, early to mature, and of unusually heavy weight. The straw is strong and 
stiff, and is thus far free from rust. Mortgage Lifter is full of fresh new vigor, and is the 
hardiest and healthiest variety grown. It is so strong and thrifty that neither freezing 
weather, protracted drought, heavy rain nor hot wind seems to have much effect upon its 
growth. It appears able to go right along from start to finish, almost without regard to 
weather or conditions, so that the farmer may feel reasonably sure that whatever fails it 
will not be his oats crop. The grain is the heaviest in existence to-day. Such was the claim 
of the originator, and I have never found anything to equal it or even to approach it. 
Mortgage Lifter is as bright and white as a new silver dollar, with a hull as thin as a sheet 
of paper. “We have raised,” says the originator, ‘‘a hundred bushels to the acre.” A yield 
like this is uncommon, but yields of 60, 70 or 80 bushels can be obtained by any good farmer 
with careful culture.” My opinion of Mortgage Lifter oats is very high. Pkt., 10c.; lb., 25c.;

MOLD’S BLACK BEAUTY OATS. The Best of All Black Oats. 
This new oats was developed by W. H. Mold, the well-known En glish oat specialist. Black 
oats are in great favor in England and also in Canada, and are coming into use in the U.S. 
The especial claims of New Black Beauty are two—great productiveness and remarkable 
strength cf straw. J. W. Nesbit, of Hennepin county, Minnesota, says: “All of our other 
oats lodged more or less, but these black oats stood up perfectly; the straw was as stiff as 
hazel brush. We took off from our 3-acre field seven large loads of bundles, about three 
times as much as any white oats we had.” It is claimed that nothing less than a tornado 
will cause this variety to lodge. New Black Beauty is undoubtedly the best of all the black 
oats. The head is long and well filled, and it isearly. On account of its remarkable stool- , Z ‘ 
ing propensities two bushels of seed per acre will prove ample. This oat has now hada H Y Ye XY 
trial of several years. It has won the praise of many farmers and threshers, who claim W) ff \ ANY 
that it will yield double the crop of any ordinary white oats. PkKt., 10 cts.; lb., 25 cts.; 3 lbs,
