BEST MILLETS. 



Our high grade, pedigree \orthern-Grown 

 Millets are quick growing, resist drought and 

 possess the highest agricultural values. 



NEW JAPANESE. 



P. Cms Galli. 



Grows from 4 to 7 feet tall, but is not harsh and woodv as 

 other grasses are. This is one of the most profitable andval- 

 uable seed crops. We bave grown this splendid Millet for vears 

 Red bave been so careful in the selection and improvement of 

 our Stock Seed that our strain is acknowledged to be the best in 

 existence; so valuable it is that many seedsmen look to us each year 

 for their supply. In some sections of the country it is known as Barn- 

 yard Millet while in other parts of ibe country ii has been erroniously in- 

 _ troduced under the name of - Billion Dollar Grass" by some seed houses. 

 In spite of these names it is such a good thing that it "has come to stay and 

 will live long in the Public Favor under its proper name— Japanese Millet, 

 i this latitude we usually sow from May 10th to 20th. Sown at these dates it 

 will make an excellent soiling crop, giving two cuttings, about mid-July and late 

 August. We have frequently had this Millet attain a height of f>X to 7 feet and so 

 heavy that no binder could handle it. It yields 50 to 70 bushels seed per acre and 3 to 

 5 tons hay. Two parts Japanese Millet and one part Evan's Early Sov Beans are a 

 fine ensilage combination. Don't attempt to grow them together. Sow the Millet from 

 8 to 10 quarts per acre on the best ground you have. Plant the Soys in drills 2S to 30 

 inches apart and cultivate same as other beans and corn. 



NEW JAPANESE MILLET.

Poultry. Geese and Turkeys all relish Japanese Millet in the green state, and keep healthy and happy and fresh on the seed 

 thereof when fed during the fall and winter months. 



Hogs and Their Families — Nothing will do them more good than to turn them in on a field of Japanese Millet. They also 

 relish and fatten readily on the seed. 



Cows, Calves and Heifers look with pleasure on a field of Japanese Millet and feed in happy contentment and flourish upon 

 its luxuriant swath. 



Horses and Other Stock will feed on it readily and thrive.

THE BEST HOG AND STOCK MILLET. 



It is positively lhe most remarkable leafy, bushy, vigorous 

 growing, earliest Millet in the world. Yields as high as fifteen 

 tons of hay or more to the acre. It will make a "magnificent 

 crop of hay if sown immediately after your oats or barley, rye 

 or wheat is cut. as it » ill ripen in from sixty to ninety days. It 

 is positively the Millet wonder — very leafv. prolific and excep- 

 tionally fine for hay and food. Try it for 1905. This Millet, like 

 no other Millet, stands the hot, dry winds of the Dakoras. the 

 burning prairies or Kansas, and flourishes on the semi-arid sols 

 of Western Nebraska and Colorado. In fact, it grows where no 

 other Millet grows. It would be cheap at ten times the price.
