Miscellaneous Farm Seeds 



cow PEAS 



Throughout the south this pea has always been val- 

 uable for the improvement of the soil, being to the 

 south what clover is to the north. The seed is 

 ground and used for cattle fodder. The stalks and 

 leaves make excellent fodder when fed green. It is 

 also highly recommended for ensilage when mixed in 

 silo with green corn stalks. In the north it is con- 

 sidered superior to clover for plowing under as a 

 preparation for wheat, as it matures the first year 

 from seeding. Poor sandy soil may be made into a 

 fertile loam by plowing under a crop of Cow Peas. 

 Plant seed in a thoroughly pulverized warm soil. If 

 wanted to plow under for manure, sow in drills one 

 foot apart. If grown for fodder or for the seed, plant 

 three and one-half feet apart and cultivate thoroughly, 



SORGHUM 



EARLY AMBER CANE.— The earliest and 

 makes the finest quality of forage or syrup. Best 

 seed. 



EARLY ORANGE CANE.— A strong grower; 

 stalks heavier and a little later than Amber. Best 

 seed. 



BUCKWHEAT 



NEW JAPANESE.— This new sort has proven to 

 be much earlier and more productive than any other 



variety. Grains very large and of rich brown color. 

 It excels all in yield and earliness, 



SILVER HULL.— A very good and popular va- 

 riety. The grain is of light gray color, rounder 

 than the common variety, has a much thinner hull, 

 matures earlier, and yields a half more to the acre, 



DWARF ESSEX RAPE 



This crop is very highly recommended for pastur- 

 age for sheep and cattle, furnishing most rich and 

 nutritious pasturage within six to eight weeks from 

 the time of sowing. Tbe fattening properties of 

 Rape are said to be very much better than those of 

 clover. Sow 3 to 5 lbs. per acre in drills, 6 to 8 lbs. 

 per acre broadcast. 



HAIRY, or WINTER VETCH 



This i5 one of the most valuable forage crops for 

 the South, but requires to be sown in the fall for 

 best results. Can be sown any time from July to 

 October. Succeeds admirably sown at the last work- 

 ing of corn or cotton with winter oats or wheat. 

 Should be sown at the rate of 20 to 30 lbs. to the 

 acre with one bushel of oats or three-fourths bushel 

 of wheat. The oats or wheat helps to hold the 

 Vetch off the ground, enabling it to make a better 

 growth. Present price of Hairy Vetch: lb., lOe. 



Cahoon Broadcast Seed Sower 



For Sowing Seed, Grain, Clover Seed, Etc. 



The best seeder manufactured, and sows all kinds of grain seeds, 

 etc., rapidly and evenly. A person entirely unused to seeding can, 

 by following the simple directions sent with machine, sow from four 

 to six acres an hour at a common walking gait. It sows more uni- 

 formly, and saves four-fifths in labor by its use. Every farmer should 

 have one of these sowers. Circulars giving full information and direc- 

 tions given with every machine. Price, $3.00.
