 length of the four cuttings was over ten feet, and made six tons of cured hay per acre. Alfalfa should be cut every time it conies In

CA1 'I ION — Every care Should be exercised in buying Red Clover, for there is always on the market at a cheap price, large quantities badly infested 

 with weed seeds, which in size and appearance cl.,sel,\ resemble lied Clover, and eannol lie cleaned out. When pure seed is expensive, as it is tin-- 

 year, lied Clover is frequently f>ur/nts,lt/ ttitiilfrrntrtl with Yellow Trefoil (a small yellow-tlowered itomual clover of little or no value and apt to 

 become a weed), sold to the unsuspecting farmer by country merchants who do not have the expert knowledge to detect it, and upon whom it is 

 foisted by unscrupulous dealers. Our seed is of high germination, pure and free from weed seeds and foreign matter.
