Miscellaneous Farm Seeds 



Cow Peas 



Throughout the south this pea has always been valuable 

 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 

 considered superior lo clover for plowing under as a prepara- 

 tion 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. 



Early Jlmber Sorghum 



f Furnishes a large yield of most nutritive forage, which 

 can be fed either green or cured, and will yield two or three 

 cuttings a year, stooling out thicker each time it is cut. This 

 saccharine matter is of the first quality, and it also produces 

 a fine sugar or syrup. It grows 10 to V2 feet high. Sow broad- 

 cast for forage at the rate of 1 to 1 >4 bushels per acre. When 



sown in drills, sow at the rate of 1 peck per acre in drills 33^ 

 to 4 feet apart. 



Buckwheat 



For a late summer crop. Buckwheat is very desirable and 

 profitable, especially in mountainous sections. It is easily 

 grown, makes splendid flower food for bees and a large yield 

 of giain, which can usually be sold for remunerative prices. 

 It is also valuable for turning under as an improver of the soil. 

 Even when grown for the grain crop. Buckwheat is not con- 

 sidered exhaustive to the soil. As a smothering crop, where 

 the land is full of objectionable weeds, it is very desirable, 

 and it puts the soil in admirable condition for any crop that 

 is desired to succeed it. Sow at the rate of 1 bushel per acre 

 broadcast in June, July or in early August. 



White Spring Oats 



Sow at the rate of 2 bushels per acre in February, March or 

 April-— the earlier the better. Price nf my Trade=Mark 

 Brand (heaviest and cleanest quality), about fiO cts. per 

 bushel, bags included ; choice quality of White Spring Oats, 

 about 50 cts. per bushel, baes included. Special prices on 

 large lots. 



Cahoon Broadcast Seed Sower 



FOR SOWING SEED GRAIN, CLOVER SEED, ETC. 



The best seeder manufactured, and sows all kinds of grain, clover 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 uniformly, and saves four-fifths in labor by its use. Every fai-mer should have one of these 

 sowers. Circulars giving full information and directions for use, mailed on application. Price, S3. 00.
