BUCKBEE'S new Ym ?m 



15 Tons Fodder per acre go Days from Punting, 



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 th«y 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 nave 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 SVGAR. CANE OR. SORGHUM. 



Valuable for Pasture, Soiling, Green Food in Cut Form, as well as for Feeding in Dry State Through the Winter Months. 



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 lor 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 appreciated and the demand is increasing about ten lold every year. It is profitably grown anywhere from Mani- 

 toba to Mexico, on any good corn ground, and does not appear to be affected by droufe ht. As a fodder plant it is the most economical plant in exist- 

 ence and of the very best quality, being sweet, tender and nutritious, and greedily eiten by cattle, horses and hogs. Dairymen find that the cows 

 wiu give more and richer milk from its use, and it is claimed that as high as t>0 tons of g' een 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 }4 

 to bu. per acre it grown for syrup. It is a profitable crop also to grow for the seed, wnich is also excellent for feeding ponltry. 



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 sonrces. When pro erly 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.
