BUCKBEE'S NEW EARLY^fLAKE FiELDPEAS 



15 Tons Fodder per acre go Days from Planting, 



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 Veas when 

 threshed are always marketable, and they stand in the front rank as a fodder plant. They should be sown in March or Early .\pril, one bushel 

 of Peas and two bushels of Oafs 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 sov. n 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 Uke Cow Peas.

 FRENCH JUNE — Tlie foliage and habit of growth quite similar to Garden Peas. The Field Pea Is one of the best soiling crops at the North, 



and is largely used for that purpose and for green manuring. It is sometimes grown alone, but the most satisfactory dairy results come 



from sowing it with Oats, Rye or Barley. It makes good '^nsiiage, and is an admirable food either green or dry for cattle, being highly_nu- 



tritious and rich in milk-producing elements. It is qUite hardy and may be

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 fip.d Sugar Cane, in the stalk, a wonderful 

 help in fattenittg and conditioning. It is not desirable as a full ration, but as an 

 addition it beats all the stock foods in existence. 



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

 fodder plant in existence for their se. As a fodder plant it is the •uort 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 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 sea- 

 son 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 ^ bu. per acre if sown for syrup. 



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

 amount of pasture can be had at the 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.
