BUCKBEE'S EARLY wfLAKE F|ELD p EAs 



AN EXCEEDINGLY VALUABLE FORAGE AND FEEDING CROP 



For the Northern states there is no crop of greater value than Field Peas. They are a profitable crop to grow, in that the Peas when threshed 

 are always marketable, and they stand in the front rank as a fodder plant. Like all leguminous crops, Peas have the power of extracting nitrogen 

 from the air, and the soil is richer in nitrogen than before the Peas were sown upon it. They should be sown in March or early April, one bushel 

 of Peas and two bushels of Oats to the acre. The Peas should be sown first and plowed under about four inches deep; the oats then sowed and 

 harrowed in. They will be ready for cutting about the latter end of June, when the oats are in milk and the pods formed on the Peas. Farmers 

 who have never sown this crop will be surprised at its large yield. It is a nutritious food and relished by all kinds of farm animals. This crop 

 also makes an excellent soil improver when turned under like Cow Peas.

BUCKBEE'S NORTHERN GROWN SUGAR 

 CANE OR SORGHUM 



Valuable for Pasture, Soiling, Green Feed In Cut Form, as Well as for Feed- 

 ing in Dry State Through the Winter Months. 



Sugar Cane not only possesses high value in producing syrup, but as an addition 

 to the daily ration for stock is almost invaluable. . City owners of horses have found 

 that cane syrup added to the feed of their stock gives splendid conditioning and strength- 

 ening returns — more fao, more ability to stand hard work. Farmers who raise stock, 

 even in a limited way, will find Sugar Cane, in the stalk, a wonderful help in fattening 

 and conditioning. It is not desirable as a full ration, but as an addition it beats all 

 the stock foods in existence. Try it and see how a small quantity of it per day will 

 tone up the live stock and make their keep much easier and much cheaper. 



FOR FODDER — Dairy farmers and stockmen say that this is the most valuable 

 fodder plant in existence for their use. Notwithstanding its great adaptability as 

 a food for live stock, it is only quite recently that the real value of Sorghum (Sugar 

 Cane) has attracted general attention. Its great merit is now beginning to be ap- 

 preciated and the demand is increasing about ten fold every year. It is profitably 

 grown anywhere from Manitoba to Mexico, on any good corn ground, and does not 

 appear to be affected by drought. As a fodder plant it is the most economical plant 

 in existence and of "the very best quality, being sweet, tender and nutritious, and greed- 

 ily eaten by cattle, horses and hogs. Dairymen find that the cows will give more and 

 richer milk from its use, and it is claimed that as high as 50 tons of green fodder have 

 been grown per acre. It can be cut several times during the season if not allowed 

 to get too high, and makes a good, sweet hay. Sow 1 to 2 bu. per acre for pasture 

 and fodder purposes, and § to i bu. per acre if sown for syrup. It is a profitable crop 

 also to grow for the seed, which is also excellent for feeding poultry. 



FOR PASTURE for cattle, sheep and swine it has no superior, because a large 

 amount of pasture can be had at a season when it is most difficult to obtain pasture 

 from other sources. When properly sown it may be fed as fodder during more than 

 half the year. As a soiling crop also it will always prove of great value.
