Ensilage and Fodder Corns 



SUGAR CORN FOR GREEN FODDER. xMany farmers prefer this

 ^eing of quick growth and early maturity. Sown at the rate of 2 bushels 

 per acre in drills 4 feet apart, it makes splendid stalks 6 to 8 feet high, 

 ■which are of the finest quality for feeding green, cutting for ensilage or 

 curing for fodder. By e.xpress or freight, qt. 15 cts., 4 qts. 45 cts., pk. 60

 yields all others that have been tested. The straw is coarse, noted 

 for its stiffness and power to withstand lodging. The grains are 

 pure white in color, large, thick and plump, making a very hand- 

 some appearance. The heads are large, upright and bushy, they 

 are also nearly all meat; the hull being exceedingly thin, making 

 them especially valuable as a feeding oat. They are quite early 

 and are less liable to smut and rust than most any other sort. Lb.

 a very strong, stifi straw, standing from 4M to 5 feet in height.

 season. It is a heavy yielder, and during a favorable sea.son the 

 oats will weigh 38 to 42 pounds per measured bushel. Prices same 

 as Swedish Select noted above.
