AUalfa Clover, or Lucerne. Every farmer should endeavor to 

 have at least a few acres of Alfalfa Clover. With our present under- 

 standing of the crop, there should be no difficulty in getting a good 

 stand, but care must be taken in putting it in right and taking care 

 of it afterwards. Sow in the spring or in August, as preferred, at 

 the rate of 25 to 40 lbs. per acre ; see that the soil is sweet and well 

 manured. If j'our soil does not contain the proper bacteria, it can 

 be assisted by the use of Nitro-Culture. The field should be cut 

 when the plant begins to bloom, whether it is tall enough for use or 

 not, and should be cut three or four times each season. When a 

 good stand is once secured, it will generalli" last from 8 to 10 years, 

 giving three or four crops per annum. Alfalfa Clover hay has no 

 equal, as it is very rich in protein and makes a balanced ration 

 that will save the purchase of higher-priced foods. Lb. 25 cts., 

 bus., write for prices. 



Turkestan Alfalfa (True). This varietj- imported from Turkestan 

 has for the past few years withstood the drought of summer and 

 cold, dry winters both North and South better than ordinary

 other would winter-kill. Lb. 25 cts., bus., write for prices.
