MANGELS AND SUGAR BEETS. 
Valuable for feeding cattle and after a season of early drought 
they provide excellent feed, which not only increases the flow of 
milk, but improves the general condition of the animals. They 
may be sown during July, in rows 2 feet apart and thinned to 9 
inches in row. Will grow in all kinds of soil, but a deep loam 
is best for the long varieties, while the Tankard and Globe va- 
rieties do well in shallow and light soils.

green, cured as hay, or siloed. Lb., 12 cts.;

CRIMSON OR SCARLET CLOVER. 
Crimson Clover has become wonderfully popular both for past- 
ure and hay crop, also as a green manure for plowing in. It 
can be seeded at any time from June to October at the rate of 
15 to 20 lbs. per acre, and makes the earliest possible green 
pasture, blooming the latter part of April or May, and for feed- 
ing as hay should be cut just before coming into full bloom. It 
is a very rank grower, some stools containing as many as 120 
to 140 blossoms from one seed. One acre grown at the New 
Jersey Experimental Station yielded, May 31st, 6,997 pounds 
of organic matter, 312 pounds of nitrogen, 52 pounds of phos- 
phoric acid, and 186% pounds of potash. The nitrogen alone 
could not be bought for $30.00, and is fully equal to that found 
in 20 tons of stable manure, and at such a small cost. It not 
only builds up worn out soils, when turned under, but rich soils 
are kept up to their fertility with less cost than by any other 
means. Lb., 25 cts.; by mail, 33 cts. Write for special cir- 
cular and price of seed per bushel. 
ALFALFA (Medicago sativa). 
It is an established fact that Alfalfa sown during August will 
prove more satisfactory than when sown during the spring. 
After once established it will produce three to four heavy cuttings 
in a season, making a total of from three to six tons of nutritious 
hay per acre. We handle only High-grade American Grown 
Seed of Alfalfa, and will be pleased to send sample and price on 
application. We have published a Special Leaflet on Alfalfa, 
which tells how and when to prepare the land, sow seed, cure 
and harvest thecrop. A copy mailed free on request. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE. 
A forage plant of highest value. For fall crop sow in July, 
August and September. It is sown broadcast Io lbs. to the 
acre, but is better drilled, in which case 5 lbs. to the acre will 
suffice. In a few weeks from time of sowing, sheep, hogs or 
cattle can be turned on it; allreports agree that they gain weight 
faster on this than any other fodder Stockmen, Dairymen and 
Farmers have proved its value. Per lb., 10 cts.; (by mail, 18 
cts.); 10 lbs., 90 cts.; bushel of 50 lbs., $4.25; 100 ]bs., $8.00. 
VETCH. 
Winter Vetches, or Tares 
called Sand Vetch, or Hairy Vetch. Recommended for fall 
sowing with rye, which serves as a support. It is perfectly 
hardy in all parts of the country, remaining green all winter and 
maturing fully four weeks earlier than Scarlet Clover; it can 
therefore be harvested or plowed under and the ground used 
for the usual spring crops. It is very nutritious, and all kinds 
of stock eat it with relish. Sow from one-half to one bushel per 
acre, together with one-half bushel of Rye. Price, per lb., 15 
cts.; by mail, 23 cts.; bus., 60 lbs. Write for price.
