AN EXCEEDINGLY VALUABLE FORAQE AND FEEDING CROP 



For the Northern states there is no crop of ereater 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. Peal 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 arein 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 [Feeding 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 

 •strengthening returns— more fat, 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 quan- 

 tity of it per day will tone up the live stock and make their keep much easier and 

 much cheaper. 



FOB 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 livestock, 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 

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

 more andjricher 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 tho season if 

 not allowed to get too high, and makes a good, sweet hay. Sow 1 to 2 bu. per acre for 

 nastureand fodder purposes, and Y s to % bu. per acre if sown for syrup. It is a pro- 

 fitable crop also tn grow for the seed, which is also excellent for feeding poultry. 



FOB 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.
