Buckbee's Best Millets 



My high grade, pedigree Northern-Grown Millets are quick growing, 

 resist drought and possess the highest agricultural values. 



NEW JAPANESE MILLET 



P Cms Gain. 



Grows from four to seven feet tall, but is not harsh and woody, as other grasses 

 are. This is one of the most profitable and valuable seed crops. "I have grown this 

 splendid Millet for years, and have been so careful in the .-ielection and improvement 

 of stoclj .seed that Buckbee's strain is acknowledged to be the best in existence— so 

 valuable is it that many seedsmen look to me each year for their supply. In some sec- 

 tions of the country it is known as Barnyard MUletl while in other parts of the country 

 it has been erroneously introduced under the name of 'Billion Dollar Grass" by some 

 seed houses. In spite of the.se names it is such a good thing that it ha.s come to stay, 

 and will live long in the public favor under its proper name, Japanese Millet. In 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. I have 

 frequently had this Millet attain a height of six and one-half to .seven teet, and so 

 heavy that no binder could handle it. It yields fiftv to .seventy bushels seed per acre 

 and three to five tons hay. Two parts Japanese Millet and one "part Evans' Early Soy 

 Beans are a fine ensilage combination. Don't attempt to grow them together. " Sow 

 the Millet from eight to ten quarts per acre on the best ground you have. Plant the 

 Soys in drills twenty-eight to thirty inched apart, and cultivate same as other Beans 

 and Corn. 



FEEDING VALUE 



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 daring the Fall and AVinter 

 months. 



Hogs and Their Families — Nothing will do them more good than to turn them in 

 on a field of Japanese Millet. They a^so relish and fatten readily on the seed. 



Cows, Calves and Heifers look witV pleasure on a field of Japanese iliUet, and feed 

 in happy contentment and flourish upci its luxuriant swath. 



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



Sow the seed broadcast at the rate "if twenty to twentv-five pounds to the acre, 

 or in drills twelve to eighteen inches apa t using ten to fifteen pounds per acre, (36 

 lbs to the bu. ) Postpaid, lb. 25c. By exp.ess or freight, at buyer's expense, i bu. 60c.;

HUNGARIAN GRASS 



OFTEN CALLED HtrNGARLi?} MILLET 

 Valuable hay for stock raisers: yields a good supply. It should be cut when in 

 bloom, and the fiber will not be too woody for feeding stock. Postpaid, lb. 20c.; 3 lbs.

 CALIFORNIA BEAUTY 



MILLET 



THE BEST HOG AND STOCK MILLET 



It is positively the most remarkable leafy, bushy, vigorous-grow- 

 ing, earliest Millet in the world. Yields as high as fifteen tons of hav 

 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 will 

 ripen in from sixty to ninet.y days. It is po.sitively the Millet wonder — 

 verv leafy, prolific, and exceptibnallv fine for hay and feed. Try it for 

 1909. This Millet, unlike any other Millet, stands the hot dry winds 

 of the Dakotas, the burning prairies of Kan.sas. and flourishes on the 

 semi-arid soils of Western \ebraska and Colorado — in fact, it grows 

 where no other Millet grows. It would be cheap at ten times the price. 

 Sow one-half bushel per acre. (50 lbs. to the bu. Postpaid, lb. 25c.

GERMAN OR GOLDEN MILLET 



One of the best varieties. Quick growing, and will produce an 

 immense amount of valuable fodder. It makes the best of hay. (50

 freight, \ bu. 40c.; V bu, 75c.; bu. $1.35 



PEARL MILLET 



This quick-growing forage plant has been long knowti under the 

 name of East India, or "Cat-tail" Millet. Sown in drills four feet apart 

 and cultivated like Corn, the plants attain a height of eight to ten feet 

 with slender, long-bladed leaves. These stalks can be cured for Win- 

 ter use, and the seed makes an excellent poultry food. But the best 

 use of the plant is to cut the stalk for green forage when about three 

 feet high, and allow the plants to make a second giowth for Fall feed- 

 lag or ensilage. Five pounds of seed are required per acre. Postpaid, 

 lb. 30c. At buyer's expense, 5 lbs. 75c.; 10 lbs. S1.25.
