most valuable forage plants for pasturing

two tons of beans in hull per acre. Land 
that will make 20 bushels of corn, will 
make one ton of beans in addition to the 
corn, doubling the feed value of every acre 
planted. It is a great fattener for all 
stock, and one of the greatest milk pro- 
ducers. As the hull is very thin, proportion 
of seed to hull is about double that of the 
thick hulled varieties. Does not pop open

CULTURE.—These are of universal culture, but we would emphasize the importance 
of using improved strains which will produce the finest and smoothest roots. with a 
minimum amount of foliage. It is important, also, to make frequent sowings in order 
that a constant supply of tender young roots may be had throughout the season. When 
allowed to. get too old, the roi ts become hard, have a woody fiber, and to a great extent 
lose their-sweet flavor. Seed may be sown as early in spring as the ground can be 
worked in a-gvood condition. Sowings should be made for succession at least once a 
month up to the first of July, at which time we recommend making a large sowing to 
produce a supply of well-grown roots for winter use. If the roots are gathered on the 
approach of cold weather and packed in slightly moist earth, they can be kept in a cool 
ceilar in perfect condition until spring. 1 oz. seed to 100 ft. drill, 10 lbs. to acre.
