The Cow Pea was until very recently supposed 

 to be suited only to Southern conditions. Now it has 

 been demonstrated that where suitable varieties are 

 sown the crop can be grown with entire success in the 

 North. The Cow Pea has proved to be one of the great- 

 est fertilizers of the age, and I doubt not that when 1 

 make the statement that it is richer in fertilizing mat- 

 ter, more lasting, more beneficial, a greater soil im- 

 prover and a better soil enricher than the fertilizer 

 drawn out from the barnyard, many of my farmer 

 friends will feel like challenging this statement, but 

 nevertheless it is a fact. It will take longer to enrich 

 a thoroughly wornout piece of land by fertilizer from 

 the barnyard than by sowing plenty of Cow Peas and 

 plowing them under. You can get two very credit- 

 able crops of Cow Peas on the same piece of land in 

 one season by sowing them quite early in the Spring- 

 after frosts are over, broadcast, at the rate of one bushel 

 Jper acre or In drills, twelve inches apart and when they have attained the height of thirty inches plow them under and sow a sec- 

 iond crop. It makes a magnificent fodder for cattle. The seed, or grain, is ground and used for cattle fodder: the leaves and stalks 

 'also make excellent fodder fed green. Plant in a thoroughly pulverized soil. If wanted to plow under for manure, sow one to 

 two bushels per acre with a grain drill in drills a foot apart. If grown for seed, plant three and one-half feet apart and one foot 

 in the row, and cultivate thoroughly, using half a bushel of seed per acre.

AN EXCEEDINGLY VALUABLE FORAGE AND FEEDING CROP 



For the Northern, Eastern and Western 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 alwavs marketable, and they stand in the front rank as a fodder plant. They should be sown in March or early April, one 

 bushel of Peas and two bu.-;hels of Oats to the acre. The Peas should be sown first and harrowed under about three mches 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 irulk and the Pods formed on the J:;eas. 

 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 ammals. ims
