CRIMSON OR SCARLET CLOVER. 
(TRIFOLIUM INCARNATUM.) 
The most valuable plant for restoring the fertility of worn-out soils. 
LL lands from which crops have been harvested during the summer and fall should be sown with 
Scarlet Clover for plowing under the following spring. Plowing under a good crop of Scarlet Clover 
is equivalent to 20 tons of stable manure per acre, and even if the Clover be harvested or pastu d, 
the benefits derived from the wonderful nitrogenous root formation will alone many times repay the . ost 
of seed and labor. 
It is the cheapest source of nitrogen, and has revolutionized the methods of farming in many States, 
has restored to profitable cultivation thousands of acres of poor land, and should be extensively used 
for sowing among corn, tomatoes, turnips, etc., at time of last hoeing or after potatoes, melons, cucum- 
bers, etc., have been harvested, or on grain stubble, and harrowed in. Its value as a winter soil mulch 
and for green manuring for orchards cannot be ov erestimated, as it provides nitrogen in the best form 
and quantity. 
If intended for feeding, it should always be cut while in the young stage, and never fed to stock after 
the crop has ceased flowering, as serious results are apt to follow the feeding of overripe Crimson Clover. 
In the latitude of New York, time for sowing may extend from July 15th to September 15th, and 
further south up to October. The seed needs to be only lightly covered, and a good plan is to sow on 
fresh plowing and cover with a light harrow. Sow 15 lbs. per acre. 
Choice new crop seed of highest growing quality, thoroughly recleaned and free from weed seeds;

Sand or Winter Vetch. 
(Vicia Villosa.) 
The earliest crop for cutting and plowing 
under in Spring, being nearly a month earlier 
than Scarlet Clover, and a full crop can be taken 
off the land in time for planting Spring crops. 
It is perfectly hardy throughout the United 
States, remaining green all winter, and should 
be sown during August and September, mixed 
with Rye, which serves as a support for the 
plants, or in spring with oats or Barley. 
It succeeds and produces good crops on 
poor, sandy soils, though it is more vigorous 
on good land, and grows to a height of 4 to 5 
feet. Being much hardier than Scarlet Clover, 
this is the forage plant to sow in the Northern 
States, where Scarlet Clover winter-kills, 
though it is equally valuable in the South. 
Every dairyman and stock-breeder in the 
United States should have a field of it. 
It is exceedingly nutritious, much more so 
than Clover, is eaten with a relish, and may 
be fed with safety to all kinds of stock. 
It will also prove valuable for a Hay Crop 
in the South and dry Western regions, as it 
may be sown in the fall. 
Sow one bushel per acre, with one-half 
bushel of Rye or Wheat. 12c. lb., $5.50 bushel

Valuable for Cattle, Sheep and Hogs. 
Under favorable conditions Rape is ready 
for pasturing sheep or cattle within six weeks 
from time of sowing, and on an average one 
acre will carry twelve to fifteen sheep six 
weeks to two months. When on the Rape 
they should at all times have access to salt, 
but water is not necessary. In the Northern 
States it should be sown from May to the end 
of August for fall pasturing, but as it thrives 
best in cool weather, it should not be sown 
in the Southern States until September or 
October for winter pasture. In the latitude 
of New York, July or August is the best time 
tosow. Its fattening properties are probably 
twice as good as those of Clover, and for sheep 
the feeding value of Rape excels all other 
plants we know of. Sow 4 lbs. per acre broad 
cast, 2 to 3 lbs. per acre in drills. (See cut.)
